This information comes from a Game Informer news article…

“Rumor also has it that Nintendo’s stocking a surprise for its E3 presentation. We’ve heard about the 3DS and some sites report that the next major Zelda game is confirmed — so what else could it possibly be? A new Star Fox?”

In a way, I suppose this isn’t really a rumor at all. Nintendo always brings a few surprises to E3, good or bad. The 3DS will be a surprise in itself and I’m betting we’ll see some unexpected software for the system.

Tetsuya Nomura spoke about all things Kingdom Hearts in the latest Game Informer, including plans for future titles. Nomura confirmed that an announcement about a new game will be made at E3. However, the project probably isn’t in development for Wii as Normua said that there are no plans to bring the franchise to new systems. So again, that’s a “no” for Wii most likely, but the DS certainly has a shot.

One has to wonder if the reveal is a remake of Kingdom Hearts Coded, a mobile phone download that is only available in Japan. Phil Synder, the new voice actor for Jiminy Cricket, has a small blurb on his site which states that his first project is Recoded. Coded never made its way to North America and Nomura told Game Informer that with this latest game, he wanted to “do something for the North American fans.” Perhaps Recoded will finally allow North American players to get their hands on Coded, albeit in remake form.

GameVideos user gamerfan85 uploaded a video to the site yesterday, explaining that he captured footage from a new game called Nerkas outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A quick look at nerkas.com reveals that the domain was registered by Square Enix Europe. Now, we know Square Enix has been teasing a new game for the past several weeks, but it isn’t clear at the moment if it is related to Project X. In fact, it isn’t clear if this is even real at all!

If you were to ask someone what the first Pokemon ever created is, you’d probably receive answers such as Pikachu and Bulbasaur. In actuality, however, Rhydon – the 112th Pokemon registered in the Pokedex – was created first. That little factoid comes from Ken Sugimori, one of the original designers of the first generation of Pokemon titles.

That does make sense, as Rhydon’s data can be found first in Red/Green. Also, this explains the statues that you see when you first step into a gym in Pokemon Red/Blue. The icon doesn’t look like Rhydon completely, but it’s pretty darn close!

Thanks to Tim for the tip!
