Artoon was swallowed up by AQ Interactive in 2010. Prior to this, however, the company was apparently creating a third-person shooter. An ex-staffer listed the mystery project on his LinkedIn profile, which states that it was being made for an unspecified system between December 2006 and February 2008.

This wasn’t the only bit of information included on this person’s CV. He’s now involved with an unannounced adventure game that has been in development since 2009. Although production was halted so that Artoon could finish Club Penguin Game Day, it is still in the works and could be published by Marvelous AQL sometime down the road.

At one point, it did seem as though Nintendo had plans to make a direct sequel to Super Mario 64. This project, unfortunately, never saw the light of day.

…And that’s where Super Mario Star Road comes in. Sure, it’s not made by Nintendo, but it’s the only Super Mario 64 sequel we’ll probably ever see. It features more than 120 stars, over 30 areas, lots of new music, and more.

You can find download links and more details about the project in the video description here.

San Jose Mercury News has a new interview up with Shigeru Miyamoto. Although it’s short, it’s filled with a bunch of interesting information.

Miyamoto discusses how Nintendo is constantly looking to appeal to both the hardcore and casual gamer for Zelda titles, using 3D without distracting players, how he hasn’t been able to find mobile title that he’s enjoyed, and more.

Head past the break for all of Miyamoto’s statements.

Atlus, Aquaplus, and Nippon Ichi all have teased new titles when asked about their thoughts for 2012.

Speaking with Famitsu, Atlus said that “That title you’ve been waiting for may be announced.” Aquaplus, meanwhile, has an announcement coming up in just a few days. Lastly, Nippon Ichi’s new title will apparently be revealed through an upcoming illustration.

These were all pretty vague teases. The question of the day is, will any of these projects end up on a Nintendo platform?

This should begin in ten minutes or so. We’ll post any translated information and media that comes in. As I said before, I wouldn’t expect any significant news. Still, we’ll get some new footage of upcoming games at the very least. Should be a fun time!
