SEGA is teasing a new game, but, unlike most teasers, they aren’t doing so through a website. The company has posted a mysterious image on their Facebook page that says, “The conclusion of this story will not go beyond the beginning of a different story.”

And that’s it! No word on when the title will be announced, by the way. Perhaps we’ll hear something via Famitsu in a few weeks?

The Nintendo World Store has a classy display of various Zelda items in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Visitors can find all sorts of trinkets, posters, art, and much more. It’ll be up until February 2012, so there’s still a good amount of time to check it out if you’re in New York City.

One item that caught my eye in particular is the “gold” triforce pin (see picture 11, third image in gallery). I recall receiving a very similar pin from Nintendo when I became a sage on the NSider forums a number of years ago. Anyone remember those days? It makes me wish that Nintendo brought back a dedicated forum for their fans. The “Nintendo Tech Forums” are a poor replacement!

For the first time, Pokemon Company will be attending Jump Festa. And you may remember that a few months ago, Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara hinted at a new game announcement before the end of the year.

Does that mean a new title will be revealed at the show? We don’t know for sure, but that’s what some fans are speculating. Jump Festa could turn out to be very interesting for Pokemon fans!

Many video game franchises are experiencing significant milestones this year, including Castlevania. The first game in the series was released on this day twenty-five years ago.

While we don’t know what’s next for Castlevania, you should be able to rest easy knowing that the future is bright. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer David Cox took to Twitter to tells fans that the IP has “never been in better shape.” He also stated that “The future is assured.”

Cox wrote on Twitter:

“Today is the 25th anniversary of Castlevania. Some would say the series is in decline but the fact is it’s never been in better shape. The future is assured. Castlevania will never die. The series is evolving and bringing in new fans, reaching larger audiences.”

Lords of Shadow was a respectable entry in the series, but I’d personally love to see a new 2D title for the 3DS (it could be an interesting mix!). Another possibility I could see happening is Lords of Shadow 2, which, if it happens, might have a chance of ending up on Wii U.
