Over the past few days – or weeks rather – rumors have circulating that Factor 5 has been in all sorts of trouble, including the dismissal of staff members and most recently, speculation that the company has shut down completely. Now, a new rumor has appeared, this time involving the Wii. If the latest buzz is to be believed, a tech demo has been discovered featuring a prototype engine for Nintendo’s system. Additionally, the engine is supposedly based off of the company’s Lair engine. The video is much too short and thus difficult to judge, though if anything, the engine that Factor 5 has produced has a lot of promise, if anything.

Famitsu has confirmed today that a new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers trailer is on the way. The video will be included in the Wii version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It is unclear how long the “special trailer” will be, but the video should show at least a few seconds of new footage. A few weeks ago, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers was assumed to be dead before an official statement was released by Square Enix, confirming its existence.
