Update: Here’s a few more details from the folks over at ONM…

– Like pan pipes
– Summon special powers
– Select the notes by cycling through different colored pipes
– Have to find a guardian (Lokomo) before you enter each dungeon
– The Lokomos are the ones who will teach you songs

Link has played multiple instruments throughout his journeys such as the Ocarina of Time, Flute, and Wind Waker. But the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks introduces a new one. Players will be required to use the Spirit Pipes in order to bring back the Spirit Tracks. The microphone are touch screen are used together, and as you would expect, you choose notes with the stylus and then blow into the microphone to actually play them. We’ll have more information on the Spirit Pipes in the coming weeks.

Thanks to Kay for the news tip!

There’s some fantastic news today for European fans of Inazuma Eleven. Arait Multimedia recently announced that they have acquired the rights to the franchise. And on the company’s website, it is noted that “the licensing program shall be extended to the European level during the 2nd quarter of 2010, led by the existing Nintendo DS games.”

Arait Multimedia will not be publishing any Inazuma Eleven titles, as they are not a video game publisher. However, Level-5’s Akihiro Hino has mentioned that a release date will be announced for the first Inazuma Eleven game “when the time is right.”

There’s one last piece of important news. Hino has also said that there are plans to bring all of the Atamania titles to Europe. This includes the Sloane & MacHale and puzzle collections series.

As we have previously mentioned, Namco Bandai will be announcing a new game in about four days. Because of some detective work, however, we may already know what the title actually is. Someone has matched up the symbols present in the teaser countdown page with Keroro Quest Cards. This seems to indicate that the game is Tales of Keroro Quest, possibly for the DS. Obviously, this isn’t official yet, hence why we’re marking this down as a rumor for now. We’ll find out for sure if this is a Keroro game in a few days.
