It’s been known for awhile now that SEGA’s upcoming Sonic and the Black Knight will feature some sort of Wi-Fi Connection support. Information about the game’s online support has been found thanks to a listing at Rakuten. Basically, you will be able to connect to Wi-Fi for item trading and ranking features. It is unclear, however, what data will be recorded for rankings. Sonic and the Black Knight is only a few months away from release, so chances are more information about that aspect will be discussed in the coming weeks.

The PC and DS versions of Spore were released last year, but there hasn’t been a ton of news about the Wii version. It was a few months ago that Spore was confirmed to be Wii-bound, though now there are the first alleged details about the game. According to GamePro’s German website, Spore on Wii will be given the title “Spore Heroes.” The game won’t be a port, but a new entry in the franchise. A few members of the press were allowed to see a sneak-peak of the game in the form of a trailer. Good news for fans – he trailer will apparently become available to the public soon.

Also coming from the GamePro, the site claims that another game for the DS is in development, named Spore Hero Arena. More details on both Spore Heroes and Spore Hero Arena should be on the way in the near future.

EDISON, N.J., January 15, 2009 – Dive into life as a Puffin as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Puffins: Island Adventure for Nintendo DS™. Developed by Other Ocean Interactive, Puffins: Island Adventure is an adventure simulation that lets players experience what it’s like to be one of Nature’s most unusual and endearing seabirds.

In Puffins: Island Adventure, players become part of a Puffin flock and experience their arduous, but rewarding, existence as they learn to fly, dive, start a family and more. While navigating through the island, they will interact with other Puffins, play games to earn the favor of their peers and raise a family to carry on their legacy. Puffins: Island Adventure features mini-games that relate to real-life Puffin activities underwater, in air and on land. By mastering the Puffin 500, Puffin Plummet and Tide Pool Fishing, players earn reputation points that unlock pictures and videos of real Puffins in their natural Canadian locales. If players make it far enough, they will unlock new levels and even their very own Puffin burrow. Gameplay through the untamed wilderness is accompanied by traditionally-styled Atlantic Canadian music composed of exotic instruments including the tin whistle, fiddle and bodhran. Music composition features the talent of one of Canada’s most popular artists, Alan Doyle, frontman for the world renowned band Great Big Sea.

“You’ll have to get it [Monster Hunter Classic Controller] from an import shop. Neither MHG or that controller is coming to the US. Sorry.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

It is a bit unfortunate that North America will miss out on Monster Hunter G, but at least Monster Hunter 3 has a good chance of heading stateside.

It’s unclear at this time if this game will be released for a Nintendo system – or even for any console – but this footage looks pretty legitimate if you ask me.
