Update: Here’s a few more details from the folks over at ONM…

– Like pan pipes
– Summon special powers
– Select the notes by cycling through different colored pipes
– Have to find a guardian (Lokomo) before you enter each dungeon
– The Lokomos are the ones who will teach you songs

Link has played multiple instruments throughout his journeys such as the Ocarina of Time, Flute, and Wind Waker. But the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks introduces a new one. Players will be required to use the Spirit Pipes in order to bring back the Spirit Tracks. The microphone are touch screen are used together, and as you would expect, you choose notes with the stylus and then blow into the microphone to actually play them. We’ll have more information on the Spirit Pipes in the coming weeks.

Thanks to Kay for the news tip!

Late last week, voice actor Rikiya Koyama indicated on his blog that a Wii version of Tales of Vesperia would be happening. Hopes of seeing that happen will have to be put aside for now, however. Koyama confirmed today that he made a mistake. He mixed up Vesperia with Tales of Graces, which is coming out for Wii next month in Japan. It’s still possible that we’ll see Tales of Vesperia Wii down the road, but don’t expect it for the foreseeable future.

Update: This is probably the real deal. If you remember, hetoan2 is/was one of the more recognized hackers of The Conduit (thanks to Miyamoto for pointing this out).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition isn’t even available in stores yet, but it looks like someone has already  hacked the game. A quick glance at the Reflex’s online leaderboards shows that something certainly is fishy. Player hetoan2 already has reached 1,337,420 kills in the global accuracy listings, not to mention that his other stats aren’t exactly normal either. This isn’t a good sign for those looking to have a fair experience with the game’s online modes, but hopefully Activision and Treyarch can take care of any hackers quickly if this rumor is true.
