Square Enix opened a new Theatrhythm Final Fantasy teaser site earlier today. It doesn’t contain much, other than music cues moving across the screen and the words “Coming Soon.”

There’s speculation that this could be related to an iOS/Android port or something of that nature. That wouldn’t be a huge surprise given that Square Enix has already brought over titles such as The World Ends with You.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see…

It’s been a rough couple of years for Mega Man. Within the past 24 months or so, two games in the series were cancelled. Capcom pulled the plug on both Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe in 2011.

But now things are starting to look slightly brighter. Capcom today announced a free, downloadable PC game called “Street Fighter X Mega Man”. And beyond this, it sounds like there could be big things ahead for the Blue Bomber.

Capcom USA senior vice president Christian Svensson spoke about Mega Man’s struggles and future approach to the IP in an interview with IGN. You can see what he had to say after the break. There are also some notes on how the Street Fighter X Mega Man project materialized as well as a hint that Capcom will begin sharing some of its more important Mega Man news starting on December 17 – the series’ 25th anniversary.

We’re just a few hours away from the 2012 VGAs. This won’t necessarily be a huge event in the world of Nintendo, but it’s a big night for games in general and there will be Nintendo-related content at the show.

First and foremost, it’s been confirmed that the Assassin’s Creed III: The Tyranny of King Washington DLC will make its deubt. This content will be coming to the Wii U version of the game sometime in the future. There are also several titles on Nintendo systems nominated for awards, so it should be interesting to see how the results pan out. And there’s always the possibility that an unannounced multiplatform game or two could come to a Nintendo system.

You’ll be able to watch the VGA 2012 pre-show here at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST. The awards show itself will debut one hour later and should be viewable on the same page.
