EDGE’s teaser for June, found in its May issue, appears to be Nintendo-related. The magazine included a picture of Shigeru Miyamoto’s Mii on the page.

It should be noted that this isn’t necessarily an indication of the magazine’s next cover story. For instance, EDGE’s May edition focused on Aliens: Colonial Marines even though the previous issue teaser was completely unrelated to the game.

Thanks to joclo for the tip!

No, Miyamoto didn’t show up at the Louvre Museum just for the heck of it. Nintendo has prepared 3DS systems that work as an audio guide at the institution. You can read about that here. Screenshots of the Audioguide can be found here.

A lot of folks were banking on a Monster Hunter announcement from Capcom today. Fans were hoping that Monster Hunter Tri G would be confirmed for North America and Europe.

Sadly that didn’t pan out, and there are some fans out there who are concerned about the lack of announcements surrounding the franchise.

In response to this, Capcom’s Christian Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity forums:

“Alas, MH announcements tend to be made in Japan… as such, I have no news to share at this moment but you shouldn’t be worried.”

It makes sense for brand new Monster Hunter games to be announced in Japan before any other territory given its popularity in the region. Monster Hunter Tri G and Monster Hunter 4 were both revealed in Japan late last year. But for localization news, Capcom’s western branches would have to speak up and say something.

Maybe Svensson is alluding to some sort of Monster Hunter Tri G announcement at E3? I really don’t know since his quote is extremely vague. If there isn’t concrete news in the near future, I’d be very concerned about the status of that game in North America/Europe.

Unfortunately, there were no Nintendo games at this year’s Captivate. Nothing for 3DS, and nothing for Wii. Well, no one thought there would be a new Wii announcement, but I digress.

The only news from the press event? Resident Evil 6 isn’t coming to Wii U. At least for now.

I’m sure Capcom will have something to show for Wii U at E3, so there’s that. I have no idea what the status of Monster Hunter Tri G is overseas, though…

So the title of this sounds like I could be making some sort of crack at how great Skyward Sword is and how it “stole” 80 hours of my life. I’m not. I’m finally, legitimately upset at Nintendo because of how they handled the development of the Wii and its basic hardware structure. It took 5 years, but one small issue on top of another small issue on top of another has finally taken it’s toll, and I’m ready to say it: The Wii is an outdated piece of crap with fantastic games. Unfortunately, despite the fantastic games, the first part has now become inexcusable.

Capcom usually has at least one Nintendo game announcement or update to share at Captivate. In 2011, for instance, we received a new trailer and screenshots for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.

It looks like things will be no different this year.

When asked if some of tomorrow’s “Capcom goodness” will be Nintendo-related, IGN editor Rich George said,

“There will be something that interests you, I think.”

You know what would be nice? A Monster Hunter Tri G localization announcement.

We’ll be here tomorrow morning at 11 AM of course, so stay tuned for any announcements – assuming there are any! We’ll definitely have a huge update on Gaming Everything as well.

Namco Bandai registered a new trademark for “Pac-Man Smash” in Europe. It’s unclear if the name pertains to a new game or something else entirely.

Namco Bandai registered not one, but two new trademarks recently. In addition to Project X Zone, the company has secured the name for “All Star Battle”.

The common consensus is that one of these two names is related to Namco Bandai, SEGA, and Capcom’s 3DS crossover project.
