A LinkedIn profile confirms speculation that Star Beast is coming to Wii U. It seems that the game is being made for the system’s eShop.

Also rumored is that Nintendo is looking to attract mobile developers. Further information on this isn’t available.

We don’t actually have any details about Star Beast yet. What we do know is that the game is also in development for the PC and mobile devices.

Even though the 3DS introduced SpotPass for the first time, the concept stems from an earlier Nintendo system. The Wii made use of a similar idea with WiiConnect24, but it was severely underutilized compared to SpotPass.

So what’s the point of talking about this? Now that the “downloading while you sleep” feature has been realized with the 3DS – for the most part anyway – there’s a chance that the Wii U could be supporting the functionality.

As shown in the Wii U development kit image above, there appears to be a setting for “Spot Pass setting”. That alone isn’t enough to confirm anything (especially since we can’t confirm the validity of the photo), but it wouldn’t be too surprising to see a form of SpotPass support for Wii U.

Famitsu was on a brief hiatus this week, but it’ll be returning next week with a “surprise scoop”. That’s according to a new tease posted on the publication’s Twitter account today.

The magazine didn’t share any clues when talking about its mysterious scoop. We don’t know who’s developing the project, which genre it falls into, or any other details. But now that this year’s Tokyo Game Show is just a month away, publishers may begin to announce some of their projects making debuts at the show.

Famitsu’s next edition will be published on August 23. Although, as usual, its contents should leak out on Tuesday.

This comes from an interview I did with those cool guys at n-Space. I asked them what else might be brewing (as is mandatory if you are interviewing someone!) and they replied with this:

“Just keep your eyes on the official n-Space Facebook page and you’re sure to see a surprise sooner rather than later.” – n-Space’s invisible collective of answering interview questions

There’s truly lots of other really awesome information in the interview (SW:Battlefront talk, Heroes of Ruin tidbits, development process details, etc), but you’ll have to wait until later tonight for me to properly type it up! This, however, I felt was worth posting independently.

Above is the boxart for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate… for now anyway. If it changes, we’ll let you know.

Hey folks, Austin here! I’m going to host a Game Night tonight at 8PM EST (5PM PST). I need a couple of folks to play Heroes of Ruin with me for a review, so if anyone has that let me know.

Aside from Heroes of Ruin, it can be assumed we’ll see some Mario Kart, and maybe some Goldeneye or Monster Hunter or whatever else unfolds!
