Much like the Chrono Trigger marriage proposal from 2008, Matt modified a copy of Earthbound in order to ask his new fiancé, Liz, to marry him during the “EarthBound Fanfest.” It’s pretty sweet – The dog was there to celebrate as well!

This information comes straight from Danny Bilson’s Twitter account. Bilson is THQ’s core games VP…

“Big game announcement at VGA award show. Trying to keep the press release from sounding “corporate lame”, because the game is anything but.”

There are a number of possibilities as to what the title might be. It could be Guillermo Del Toro’s new project, or a new game that THQ recently teased for Wii/Move/Kinect. Or it might be something completely different. We’ll find out for sure in less than two weeks!

“We dumped that license because we felt like we needed to own more intellectual property, and we don’t like where James Bond is going with all the creative limitations on it. The percentage royalties you have to pay the licensors are going the wrong way for publishers. The margins are being squeezed. And, to top it all off, the movie-game business is falling apart. Considering the total amount of money we have to spend on those types of James Bond games, and the total amount of man-hours we had to put into them, we thought, hell, let’s work on our own IP. The guys who made James Bond games for us, well yeah, they went on and made Dead Space, and look where we are now; what would you rather publish, retail and play – the latest James Bond or Dead Space 2?”

I have no problem with movie games so long as they’re good games! Problem is, there aren’t too many good movie games out there. I’d definitely support new IPs over movie games, though! It’s good to see EA is in agreement.
