GameVideos user gamerfan85 uploaded a video to the site yesterday, explaining that he captured footage from a new game called Nerkas outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A quick look at nerkas.com reveals that the domain was registered by Square Enix Europe. Now, we know Square Enix has been teasing a new game for the past several weeks, but it isn’t clear at the moment if it is related to Project X. In fact, it isn’t clear if this is even real at all!

“Several developers that have experienced 3DS in its current form have reported, off the record, that it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. According to several developer sources, the 3DS device is not using the NVIDIA Tegra mobile chipset, a rumor that’s been floating around since 2009.”

I’m having a hard time believing this one. Looking back at previous portables, they’ve never really surpassed their console “counterparts” in terms of processing power. I think we’d be lucky if the 3DS’ power matched the GameCube, though I’d be very glad if it was more powerful than that! We’ll have to see which specs Nintendo reveals at E3.

SEGA will be bringing back two maps from the original Conduit for multiplayer in the sequel. Fans can vote on the company’s forums and official Facebook page. The two maps that receive the most votes on those pages will return in Conduit 2.

Which maps would you like to see in Conduit 2?

Thanks to Jordan G for the tip!

“In a previous interview with Nikkei Trendy, Level 5 president Akihiro Hino said that the US office would be around ten people, made up of staff from Japan and those hired locally. He also said that he eventually wanted to handle the publishing internally for the Professor Layton series, which is currently handled outside of Japan by Nintendo.” – GamesBusiness.jp

Hmm…That could be very interesting. I’m expecting that the next Professor Layton title will be published by Nintendo in North America/Europe, but beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.

Thanks to Robert for the tip!

If you didn’t already guess, there will not be a game night this week due to my absence from a Wii both tonight and tomorrow night. Sorry for any inconvenience on the part of those looking to play with us this weekend, and another apology for updating this so late! Also, I won’t be in town next weekend either, so I’m not entirely sure what we’re going to do about that! Give me some time to get creative and maybe we can work something out!

Until then, see you all!
