Namco Bandai, SEGA, and Capcom are finally ready to unveil their mystery collaboration. It seems as though we’re just one week away from a proper announcement.

The game’s official website now includes a countdown – it ends in seven days – and each company’s pitri dish/chromosomes appear to have been stolen. When you visit the page, an alarm sounds and shows the image above.

We may hear something about this new game in Famitsu. If there’s nothing in next week’s magazine, expect news in seven days.

Nintendo: We don’t focus on hardware specs, gameplay experience than raw numbers

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Wii U | 0 comments

There’s been lots of rumors going around about the Wii U’s power and graphical capabilities. Companies generally provide the standard “we don’t comment on rumors/speculation” line for these types of situations, but things are different this time!

A Nintendo representative provided the following comment when presented with GamesIndustry’s report, which surfaced earlier this week:

“We do not focus on technology specs. We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers.”

This has more or less been Nintendo’s motto for quite some time now. I wouldn’t be surprised if we never saw an official, in-depth summary of the Wii U’s specs from the company.

Rumor: SEGA mulling over Sonic reboot for 2014

It’s no secret that SEGA has been experiencing significant financial troubles. Perhaps as a result of this, SEGA may be considering a potentially “massive” and “total” reboot for Sonic in 2014. SEGA and Team Sonic would be looking to monetize the IP which would provide the company with more capital.

That’s all according to a new rumor published on TSSZ News, who warns the reboot “is allegedly still in the exploratory phase”. The site also has speculatory information of possible gameplay changes for Sonic – including a change in structure similar to an open-world, a new universe, and more.

Head past the break for a rundown of TSSZ News’ report.
