Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei are collaborating on a new project. The two companies opened a teaser site today that is set to expire in just a week’s time. The game, whatever it may be, will likely be appearing at the Tokyo Game Show early next month.

You can access the site here.

Well f*ck.

Okay, so I admit it. I completely and utterly admit that I was unequivocally wrong about Xenoblade Chronicles. If you missed my rant a few weeks ago, I went on a binge talking about how there’s a good reason why games like this never sell in America, so we should stop whining and get over it. One of my points was that (despite rave Famitsu scores) the games would end up getting mediocre reviews upon arrival in the west, and fade away into obscurity some months later as “those games that everyone wanted and no one bought.”

Max Factory is creating a couple of figurines for Metroid: Other M. One figurine, which shows Samus in her Power Suit, will be sold for ¥3,000-4000. The other is a 1/8th scale static PVC figure of the galactic bounty hunter.

Both items will arrive sometime next year.

Atlus Japan has just opened a new teaser site, though there isn’t much content on the page at the moment. As you can see in the image above, there is a simple yellow background with the site’s URL.

There are already a few guesses that it’s Persona 4 related. That’s certainly one realistic possibility.

Could this be an announcement for the Tokyo Game Show? Perhaps Famitsu will unveil the game in one of their upcoming issues before the show, with a full blowout next month.

Also, while this teaser isn’t confirmed to be Nintendo-related, remember that there is supposedly some Persona title in development for 3DS. The big list of projects listed for the system from E3 2010 revealed that a new game in the franchise would be heading to the handheld.

01Net is at it once again. The site has released a third Nintendo article today, though this time it doesn’t focus on a particular system. You can find some of the more interesting pieces from the report below.

To be honest, I’m having a very hard time believing this round of speculation. That’s what the rumor tag is for, I suppose!

Konami is holing a press conference tomorrow, yet we don’t know much about it. Other than New Love Plus, the company hasn’t announced which titles will be presented nor have they said when the event will begin.

Famitsu confirmed that bundles will be available for New Love Plus, so that’s one possible announcement for the conference. But one would think that there will be announcements about other Konami titles as well.

A new article on The Wall Street Journal (registration required) seems to confirm that Nintendo’s rumored September event will indeed take place on the 13th. The site says that it’ll be called the Nintendo Conference, a trade show that is “open to industry people, analysts, investors and journalists, but not to consumers.” So we can expect the same deal as last year’s event.

We’ve already heard that a big announcement is planned, but perhaps it won’t necessarily be on the 3DS as this is called the “Nintendo Conference”. But I have to admit that the 3DS is probably the safest bet for a huge reveal.
