Best Buy Canada teased a new game reveal through its Canadian Reward Zone Gamers Club Twitter account on Monday. That turned out to be Batman: Arkham Origins. Today, the retailer is teasing yet another gaming announcement.
Best Buy just wrote on Twitter:
Another big gaming announcement Monday! Any Gamers Club members have any ideas what it could be? #RZGC

Given that the first tease turned out to be related to a brand new game, Best Buy is probably teasing something similar here. FIFA 14? Something else?
What do you guys think?

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:
Totally fake.Remakes and Reboots? #movedon

Criterion is working on a new racer – it’s just not Underground.
Nintendo to host ‘Nintendo Games Seminar’ for university students in Japan, first time in three years
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
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
