In Japan, Level-5 registered a trademark for something called “Spaceship Damrey”.

This is just speculation at this point, but could it be another mini-game inclusion in Guild02? Three titles have been confirmed for the collection thus far: Insect Tank, Alone, and Monsters Appear on Friday.

Spaceship Damrey could very well be the final one…

SEGA has filed a lawsuit against Level-5 for its Inazuma Eleven soccer games. Specifically, SEGA isn’t pleased with games’ functionality in which players can move character with their finger or touch pen.

It’s possible that the company’s Football Manager franchise has come in to play. SEGA may feel that Level-5’s series is in conflict with its own soccer management simulations. Officially though, SEGA hasn’t confirmed that this is the case.

Kotaku reports that opening arguments were heard on December 7. SEGA is looking for ¥900 million (US$11 mil) in damages, and is looking for the sale of all eight Inazuma Eleven games to be stopped.

Speaking about the lawsuit, Level-5 said:

“We are preparing our rebuttal and do not have any comments to make at this time.”

Street Fighter X Mega Man is just the start of Capcom’s plans for the Blue Bomber’s 25th anniversary.

News will begin to arrive on December 17. That’s a pretty good date for announcements, given how the series will have made its debut 25 years ago on that very day.

The first round of news will only apply to “the start of the celebrations”. More news will be shared next year.

According to Capcom’s Christian Svensson:

“I don’t know that there’s more substantial for me to talk about but there’s a TON more things we have in the works, only some of which will be shared on December 17th. There’s a whole year of things that will happen… you’re only going to hear about what’s happening fairly close to the start of the celebrations at first.”

G4 is no more. The channel will be rebranded as the Esquire channel in the first half of 2013.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that when the new channel launches, it will broadcast programming such as cooking, travel and fashion. Gaming content will be shown as well.

With the move, Esquire parent Hearst Corporation is looking “to capture a growing, upscale demographic that isn’t being reached through other male networks, including adrenaline-heavy Spike and History.”

Square Enix opened a new Theatrhythm Final Fantasy teaser site earlier today. It doesn’t contain much, other than music cues moving across the screen and the words “Coming Soon.”

There’s speculation that this could be related to an iOS/Android port or something of that nature. That wouldn’t be a huge surprise given that Square Enix has already brought over titles such as The World Ends with You.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
