Square Enix opened up a new teaser site today. Although we can’t officially say that the company will be announcing something called “Star Galaxy”, it appears that this mysterious game is set to be revealed in less than five days.

Siliconera came across a trademark for Star Galaxy, which Square Enix filed in Japan.

You can view the teaser site here. It does have a space-feel to it… and it does feature the word “Star”!

Wreck-It Ralph director would like to have Mario cameo in sequel

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Wreck-It Ralph will certainly get a sequel at some point. In addition to being a commercial success, the movie has been regarded as one of the better films of 2012.

Many classic video game characters saw cameos in Wreck-It Ralph, but one character was missing: Mario. His name was mentioned, but he never appeared at any point. Director Rich Moore said that Mario wasn’t included since the team couldn’t find a way to appropriately include him.

Moore does want to add Mario to a Wreck-It Ralph sequel. He feels that having him in the movie “would be great.”

“We’ll really come up with something good for Mario to do [in the next film]. To be able to present him in the sequel would be great.”

This is not a joke. There is another Nintendo Direct today. Really.

A Japanese presentation will be shown at noon Japan time. That should be 10 PM EST / 7 PM PST.

Just a heads up: don’t expect too much. Since this is a Nintendo Direct mini, the stream will be brief, and there won’t be a whole lot of news.

All we know at the moment is that the video will be very short. It’s unclear if this will focus on a specific game or something else entirely. We’ll know soon!

Rumor: Lots of details about the cancelled Guitar Hero 7

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Podcast Stories, Rumors | 0 comments

Guitar Hero games pretty much used to be a yearly series. Year after year Activision would churn out new entries.

But in 2010, Guitar Hero came to a screeching halt. Warriors of Rock was the last release, and it doesn’t sound like Activision will be refreshing it anytime soon.

Interestingly, before Activision put the hammer down on Guitar Hero, Vicarious Visions was working on Guitar Hero 7. It was only midway through its development that the project was canned and Guitar Hero entered retirement.

Kotaku spoke with a source and corroborated rumored details about the title, which we’ve posted below.
