Pac-Man will be making his return to television after a twenty year hiatus. Pac-Man: The Adventure Begins will begin airing on Disney XD next fall.

Avi Arad, who has worked on the Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk films, will be involved with the new show.

Arad said:

“What took you so long, Avi Arad? We’ve been waiting the executive producer of the Spider-Man and Iron Man films to get this project going for two years now. Originally slated for 2012, Pac-Man: The Adventure Begins follows the adventures of a high school-aged Pac-Man and pals as they, I dunno, go on wacky adventures?”

You can find the official press release after the break.

You may remember a statement made by Shigeru Miyamoto last year about the possibility of Retro Studios working on Zelda. Miyamoto had said that the series “might be a possible franchise for that collaboration.”

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma recently offered his own thoughts about partnerships.

Aonuma told IGN:

“Nintendo’s developers will continue to work on a number of different titles, and I think that we will have to rely on outside companies for graphics and other elements that require massive resources. I’m satisfied when the cooperation between Nintendo and other companies becomes something meaningful for both parties.”

Aonuma also told the site that there have been a number of partnerships for the Zelda series over the past decade. Capcom worked on Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, The Minish Cap, and Four Swords while Grezzo brought the enhanced Ocarina of Time 3D port to the 3DS. Nintendo even collaborated with Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft on Skyward’s Sword’s graphics.

Mistwalker’s last game was, as many of you know, The Last Story. Development on the Wii RPG was completed in early 2011.

It’s been a year since then, so surely the studio has a new title in the works, right? Well… yes. Mistwalker told Siliconera that they are “working on several projects.”

A representative said:

“We are working on several projects. We appreciate your interest.”

Final Fantasy creator and Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi did recently say that he’s making three iOS games. Aside from those, though, could the company be developing a new console or gaming handheld title as well?

The same representative said:

“At this moment, the only thing I can say is that we are working on several projects.”

How about a game for Wii U, Sakaguchi?!

A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo of Canada added a terse entry to their official website about an upcoming “Spring Break Surprise”. The post simply reads, “Come back March 1st to see what it is!!”

It sounds this could be specific to Canada, as the news was not included in Nintendo of America’s “What’s New” section. I’m not expecting the tease to be about a major new title announcement, but this could be interesting!

Thanks to 3DSponesiPod for the tip!

We’re still waiting for Junichi Masuda’s big announcement on today’s episode of Pokemon Smash, but his reveal could be related to Kyurem.

Kyurem is set to appear in the fifteenth Pokemon movie, Kyurem vs. the Sacred Swordsman: Keldeo. A rumored poster for the upcoming film, as pictured above, appears to show two new forms – fire and electricity.

Perhaps Masuda will appear on Pokemon Smash to show off these new forms. On the other hand, some fans believe that he’ll announce Pokemon Grey. This title would build off of the Black/White titles that were released for the DS less than two years ago.

Update: Masuda apparently told fans on Twitter that the Pokemon Smash announcement is something different. Hype back on!

Game Freak director Junichi Masuda will be “making a very important announcement” on today’s episode of Pokemon Smash. Most fans have assumed that Masuda’s appearance on the show means that he’ll be announcing a new game.

It might be time to prepare yourself for potential disappointment. Masuda visited the Pokemon Center in Fukuoka today to tease a Pikachu event that relates to a new bullet train in Japan. This special Pikachu will be distributed at the railway and will be capable of performing the Extremespeed ability. Under typical circumstances, most Pokemon can’t learn the move. More information is expected on Monday.

Is this the announcement that Masuda has been saving for Pokemon Smash? Or will it be something else entirely? We’ll find out in a few hours…

One fan has managed to connect get a PS1 controller working with the 3DS. Having not tried it myself, I can’t say if it’s any better than using the Circle Pad Pro. It’s an interesting idea nonetheless!
