Square Enix picked up a couple of new trademarks in Europe recently.

The first is titled “Guns & Souls”. Square Enix Japan filed for the name rather than Eidos. Based on the name, it sounds like Guns & Souls could be some sort of shooter.

Square Enix additionally registered Hitman: International Contract Agency and Hitman: ICA, but these two probably won’t have anything to do with a Nintendo platform.

We received some good news and some bad news concerning Monster Hunter 3 today.

The good news: Capcom finally nailed down a release date for Ultimate and confirmed voice chat (plus reconfirmed USB keyboard support) for the Wii U version.

Here’s the bad news: Monster Hunter Tri’s servers will be switched off on April 30. That date is set six weeks after the launch of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U and 3DS. You’ll be able to game local multiplayer if you purchase the 3DS title, but online is restricted to the Wii U version.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Games is bringing “Armillo” to the Wii U eShop, and it’s due for launch on the store this year.

Armillo was once planned for XNA through the Xbox Live Arcade. However, the team is now concentrating on making the title for Wii U.

What is Armillo, exactly? The two videos above may give you a pretty decent idea. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Marble Madness and even has a bit of a Super Mario Galaxy vibe.

A strange situation developed late last year between Sony and the well-known PlayStation “character” Kevin Butler. Butler, played by Jerry Lambert, was spotted in a Bridgestone Tires commercial with a Wii. The ad was eventually pulled and it was later discovered that Sony was suing the tire company as well as Lambert’s own company.

Sony is still in a legal battle with Bridgestone, but has since settled out of court with Lambert.

Lambert will not appear in any video game ad over the next two years. Once the period has passed, he can lend his talent to any commercial he chooses so long as the Kevin Butler character is not portrayed. Sony also gained the right to look over any video game-related ads Lambert partakes in to ensure that its Kevin Butler property is not involved.

Regarding the original Bridgestone commercial, Lambert did acknowledge that the ad may have led to consumer confusion since he was seen with a Wii.
