Looks like the next Call of Duty is “Call of Duty: Ghosts”

The next Call of Duty won’t be another Modern Warfare or Black Ops, it seems. Retailer leaks have apparently revealed a completely new title called “Call of Duty: Ghosts”.
First, UK retailer Tesco Direct has posted boxarts of the supposed PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions:
There’s also a Target ad that mentions Call of Duty: Ghosts:
Activision may very well be planning a Call of Duty reveal for the near future. The company will likely have something to show on television during the NBA Playoffs.
One caveat is that there has been no mention of Ghosts for Wii U as of yet. But surely Activision will have no excuse not to bring the game to the console… unless they were extremely disappointed with Black Ops II’s sales.

Some kind of Okami announcement due next week
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
A new Okami announcement of sorts is coming next week. On Twitter, the official Japanese Okami Twitter account writes:
“Hello, this is Okami news. Sorry I’ve been kind of out of touch lately, but I have the feeling we’ll be able to drop a fresh announcement like WHAM! around the beginning of Golden Week, so please look forward to it. Right now we’re on track with preparations.”
Famitsu has a tease of its own in its latest issue which states:
“The new game to bring fans tears of happiness finally comes to life! A must-see!”
Could the two teases be connected…?
Nintendo hints that new Mario, Mario Kart are coming to Wii U this year
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo hasn’t said much about the new 3D Mario action game and Mario Kart title for Wii U. Both were mentioned briefly during a Nintendo Direct a few months ago, but other than that… nada!
Despite the silence, could these two anticipated titles be coming to market this year? An inclusion in Nintendo’s financial results announcement seems to point in this direction.
“Based on the strong lineup of upcoming software titles for both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems, Nintendo expects to return to Operating Income profitability by the end of the current fiscal year. During the next several months, Nintendo expects to launch new titles in the Mario Kart (Wii U), Super Mario Bros. (Wii U), Wii Fit (Wii U), Pikmin (Wii U), The Legend of Zelda (Wii U and Nintendo 3DS), Mario & Luigi (Nintendo 3DS) and Pokémon (Nintendo 3DS) franchises. These games, along with titles from Nintendo’s third-party publishing partners, will help drive hardware momentum and introduce new audiences to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms.”
The new Mario and Mario Kart games will be playable at this year’s E3, so they must be fairly far along in development. It’d be pretty crazy to see both of them in the same year, though.
