Don’t count on a new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom game anytime soon. Capcom’s Christian Svensson says that the company’s “rights with Tatsunoko have lapsed fairly recently”, meaning there wouldn’t be another title unless a new deal was decided upon.

The news also affects the original Wii game. Because the deal expired, Capcom is “no longer allowed to sell the title physically or digitally”.

Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards:

“Our rights with Tatsunoko have lapsed fairly recently (so we’re no longer allowed to sell the title physically or digitally). Unless Japan were to strike a new deal, I’d say the chances of this happening are slim.”

Shigeru Miyamoto provided a lot of interesting insight into a bunch of different topics in an IGN interview.

There’s obviously lots of Wii U talk. Miyamoto noted how he’s always been “more nervous than excited” for launches, discussed how the console can unify different activities, and talked about using the system with others.

Other topics include Zelda: Four Swords, which Miyamoto feels possesses “great potential to evolve even further from now” thanks to the evolving nature of networks. He also discussed how Nintendo “had continued debate as to the reason why Four Swords could not expand to the audience the way we really hoped it might have.”

Read on below for that and more, including how his thoughts on how Nintendo can keep up with gamers as they grow.

Nintendo has refreshed all of its European websites. You can check out the English UK site here as an example.

I also advise checking out the 404 page. It’s pretty neat!

Not sure quite what it’s about, but Nintendo has told everyone that its 3DS eShop, the DSiWare Shop, and the Wii Shop Channel will be down for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6th. Some people are saying that this could have something to do with the Wii U launch– perhaps some implementation of the “Nintendo Network ID” we’ve heard to much about– but I’m guessing that it’ll set some things up being the scenes that we’ll hear more about properly a week or two from now.

Don’t get too excited just yet!
