Warner Bros. now has a bunch of new Batman domain names in its possession. On January 10, numerous “Arkham”-related domains were registered.

The list in full:

arkhamuniverse.com (Arkham Universe)
batmanarkahmuniverse.com (Batman Arkham Universe)
batmanarkhamarises.com (Batman Arkham Arises)
batmanarkhambegins.com (Batman Arkham Begins)
batmanarkhamdarkknight.com (Batman Arkham Dark Knight)
batmanarkhamknight.com (Batman Arkham Knight)
batmanarkhamlegend.com (Batman Arkham Legend)
batmanarkhamlegends.com (Batman Arkham Legends)
batmanarkhamnight.com (Batman Arkham Night)
batmanarkhamorigins.com (Batman Arkham Origins)
batmanarkhamstories.com (Batman Arkham Stories)
darkknightarkham.com (Dark Knight Arkham)
dcarkhamuniverse.com (DC Arkham Universe)
dcarkhamverse.com (DC Arkhamverse)
thearkhamuniverse.com (The Arkham Universe)

There are two likely possibilities here: either these domains tie-in to a new Arkham video game, or a movie of some sort. Then again, it’s also possible that the sites were registered for protective reasons.

On Twitter, one fan messaged Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya regarding an eShop release of the original Bayonetta. Kamiya responded by saying that such a decision would be up to SEGA/Nintendo.

Some Nintendo fans may not have had the chance to play the original Bayonetta, so bringing the first title to the eShop could be a smart move.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

ONM’s latest issue has started to reach subscribers, but it’s the magazine’s next edition that is receiving greater attention.

For its February issue, ONM teases:

“Are you scared? You should be… World Exclusive! The first look at a stunning new game.”

The teaser page additionally contains art depicting pipework and engineering. Some are now speculating that Resident Evil is on the way to Wii U.

Convieniently enough, achievements leaked out last night for a title called Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition. Perhaps Capcom will be bringing this new version to Wii U.

Thanks to Nom for the tip.

Rayman creator Michel Ancel has had nothing but praise for the Wii U. In an interview with GamesTM, Ancel continued to speak positively about the hardware.

Ancel told the magazine that the Wii U is powerful and his team hasn’t encountered any limitations. Ubisoft was also able to improve upon its UbiArt engine. Players experiencing Rayman Legends may notice greater depth to the visuals compared to Origins, and there are also enhanced lighting effects.

“The hardware is powerful and we haven’t had any limitations. Visually, because we’ve had more time with the UbiArt engine, we were able to add a lot of depth to the graphics. You can especially see it in the backgrounds. There are more layers, more details; it feels more like a landscape. We’ve also done a lot with the lighting effects, both in gameplay and graphics.”

Thanks to joclo for the tip.

THQ will be auctioning off its assets in just a few days. When the time comes, Double Fine could join in on the bidding.

Distressed Debt Investing wrote on Twitter that “Double Fine has requested the bankruptcy filings in the THQ case”. Now, Double Fine probably won’t be going after IPs such as Darksiders, but perhaps the company could be interested in smaller franchises such as Costume Quest. Double Fine teamed up with THQ for the title back in 2010.

Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox Software received an offer to make a Call of Duty title. The studio decided against going through with it, however.

Pitchford said that making a Call of Duty “wouldn’t move us forward”, nor would there be a “significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”

A translated portion of Pitchford’s German KGN interview reads:

“I don’t think there’s anything to accomplish there. I think if I was only in it for the money I would’ve done that.[…] I think to do ‘Call of Duty’ right you need to do what needs to be done and there are a lot of people who can do that. For us it wouldn’t add to our credibility, it wouldn’t move us forward. There would be no significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”
