Well, so much for the rumor that Criterion Games is working on a new version of Need for Speed: Underground. Criterion creative director Alex Ward took to Twitter earlier today in light of the recent speculation and indicated that the team has moved on from remakes and reboots.

He wrote:

Criterion is working on a new racer – it’s just not Underground.

For those unaware (like I was until this morning!), Nintendo used to host something they called “Nintendo Games Seminar” at the University of Japan where they would help and encourage aspiring game developers to make games of higher quality with a higher success rate. It was a way for Nintendo to not only influence the direction that young developers would take with their careers, but also to find new talent to hire when the seminar was over. Now, they’re restarting the program:

– Seminar will run from July 2013 to March 2014
– Must be an under/post-graduate student at a University in or around Tokyo or Osaka
– 12 participants per location (Tokyo/Osaka)
– Choose between programming, graphic design, or sound
– Seminar will focus on developing games with Nintendo’s “Web Framework”
– More details on May 13th

The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation contains a promotion for its upcoming Nintendo sister publication. On April 20, the first ever edition of Dengeki Nintendo will be published. Included in the ad is a teaser indicating that GungHo’s Puzzle and Dragons will be coming to a Nintendo platform.

News has since leaked that the series is heading to the 3DS – specifically Puzzle & Dragons Z. We don’t have the specifics just yet, but I imagine that we’ll be hearing something more concrete soon.

Almost all of the Wii’s significant channels will be coming to an end in June.

In Europe, Australia, and Japan, five services will be going offline. While nothing has been announced by Nintendo of America, we’ll likely be hearing something very soon from the subsidiary.

The Nintendo Channel, News Channel, Forecast Channel, Everybody Votes Channel and Mii Contest Channel are included in the group. You also won’t be able to send and receive messages through the Wii Message board. On the bright side, the Wii Shop Channel will still be accessible.

“We at Nintendo sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of our company’s products. We apologise to those of you currently using these services, and ask for your understanding. The above services will no longer be available even if they are started up from the Wii Menu. However, services other than those mentioned above, such as the Wii Shop Channel and ‘Today’s Accomplishments’ on the Wii Message Board, will remain available.”
