Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure has probably been a bigger success than Activision had expected. The game has been lighting up the software charts around the world, and has managed to be a hit among both kids and (some) adults.

So it’s no surprise that Activision is planning what looks to be a sequel to Skylanders. A number of domains under the “Skylanders Giants” name have been picked up by MarkMonitor. MarkMonitor was also involved with the domain registration for the current Skylanders title.

If this is a new Skylanders project, you can expect that it’s in the works for at least one Nintendo system.

Unsure as to what “Hyrulecraft” is? You can read about the project here

A fan has gone through the painstaking process of remaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Minecraft. Areas such as the Temple of Time, Zora’s Domain, and Hyrule Castle have all been recreated by using hundreds upon hundreds of blocks.

An alpha build of the “Hyrulecraft” project has been published and is available for testing. You can find a download link here, and more information here.

This is one of the more exciting Ocarina of Time remixes we’ve seen, so we’re quite interested to see what’s next for “Hyrulecraft”.

It seems that Square Enix may have a new Final Fantasy game in the works. NeoGAF member “miladesn” has found a U.S. and European trademark for a mystery title called “Final Fantasy Dimensions”. The name was filed on January 16.

Interestingly, Square Enix has also acquired a website for “Final Fantasy Dimensions”. A quick lookup of the domain reveals that Square Enix owns FinalFantasyDimensions.com.

Unless this is some sort of name for an upcoming Final Fantasy localization, it appears that Square Enix has something new in store for the series.

It looks like Namco Bandai has yet another One Piece game in the works. Siliconera has spotted a Japanese trademark for One Piece: New World Cruise.

A couple of “Cruise” titles made it out for Wii in 2008/2009. Namco Bandai later crammed the games into One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP. It shipped for the 3DS last year in Japan and is set for a European release next month.

Thanks folks. Feel free to start a discussion about what I’m talking about in the comments!
