I typically avoid posting GameStop related release dates, but a listing for The Conduit caught my eye. Way back when, High Voltage Software confirmed that the game would be shipping in March 2009. According to the GameStop listing though, the game will be out in May instead. This may be nothing more than an error on GameStop’s part. However, it is reasonable that High Voltage needs some extra development time to polish the title. Either way, I’m sure we’ll hear word about the game’s official release date in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

An official publisher announcement for The Conduit should be coming very soon. Some have guessed that Nintendo would publish the game, though the company later dismissed the speculation. A recent discovery, however, may point to the official publisher of the game. Currently, SEGA’s FTP site has a listing for The Conduit under its directory of games (with an empty folder). This isn’t a 100% guarantee that SEGA is the publisher of the game. Even so, this is a pretty good sign. There’s not much of a reason why the game would be listed there unless SEGA had some sort of connection to The Conduit. We’ll find out soon enough, but how would you guys feel about SEGA publishing the title?

If recent ratings by the USK are to be believed, Broken Sword titles for the Wii and DS could be releasing in the future. The ratings have been filed by Ubisoft under both Nintendo systems, but we’ll have to wait and see if the rumor is more than wishful thinking.

An unknown source claims to have assets of Saint’s Row, a game which was at one time in development for the Wii. The source further claims that Californian Mass Media Inc. was in charge of the project. The game would see obvious downgrades in textures and geometry, though the general idea was to keep gameplay intact. As can be seen however, the project never saw the day of light.

Rumor has it that Nintendo will be announcing a new game based on an old franchise. The article also reports that the old franchise is something “that everyone is waiting for.” Kid Icarus and Punch-Out are two prominent possibilities. Both titles have been rumored to be in development. More news is expected at Nintendo’s upcoming conference in Japan.

Update: The image posted before was actually a picture of the DS Lite’s screens. I’ve edited in a new picture, and supposedly the image above is what the screens will look like.

Obviously, this picture doesn’t look to be the whole DS pieced together…Just part of how it looks, meaning the screens. I’m still slightly skeptical that Nintendo even has a new DS in store. Would they really be willing to release a new product despite successful sales with the DS Lite?

Update: Looks like Nikkei Net is confirming the news.

A massive rumor has just hit the Internet involving features in a new DS system. Nekkei newspaper and Monex have allegedly released information detailing functions in a new DS model such as music playback, the inclusion of a digital camera, and a larger screen. The new DS would sell for under 20000 yen in Japan later this year and would additionally allow for data exchange on an SD card between the Wii and DS. As was mentioned, the rumor also says there will be a wireless connection power up function and the digital camera would allow for news types of games.

Keep in mind that this is a very big rumor and I wouldn’t exactly trust this information (hence why I’m marking it as a rumor in the first place!) Even though Nintendo has conferences scheduled next week, considering the DS’ sales have yet to truly slow (and the fact that Nintendo hasn’t exactly been a full SD card supporter), a new system might not be the smartest thing for Nintendo.

RPGSite is reporting that Final Fantasy IV: The After could be seeing a re-release on the Wii. Earlier this year, the game was made available on two sets of mobile phones, but only in Japan. The After is a direct sequel to the events of FFIV, involving Ceodore, the son of Cecil and Rosa. Final Fantasy IV/FFIV: The Aftermath producer Takashi Tokita made a recent remark that Square Enix would do their best to “make this game available for our overseas audiences as well!” Bringing the game to American waters is clearly something that is being considered, although only time will tell if the game will house itself on Wii.

Disaster: Day of Crisis has been given official release dates in Japan and Europe, but strangely, the gamers of North America have been left clueless when Monolith’s title will launch. However, rumor has it that Disaster will be available in North America this November. The gossip comes from Nintendo Power’s 20th anniversary event, in which one partygoer was approached by a staff member of newsarama.com. If this story is to be believed, the newsarama staff member told the person attending Nintendo Power’s event that, although Nintendo has yet to announce a release date for North America, he can “guarantee” that Disaster will launch this November.

I honestly don’t think that anyone should take this rumor seriously. First off, the story easily could have been fabricated, hence why you should take this rumor with a huge grain of salt. Also, I question (if the story is even true) what sources are available to newsarama to back the claim up. But remember: This is a rumor, so you never you know what will happen! I’d be completely satisfied with a November release date if it were true.

A Japanese website has posted that Nintendo has penciled in a conference for this October. Although this information has yet to be confirmed, especially since there is no “true” source behind the posting, there is a pretty high possibility that the information can be correct. Nintendo held a conference in Japan last October, where the company revealed Monster Hunter 3 would be releasing on Wii. If the event remains true, the conference would take place just a few days before the Tokyo Game Show. Although it’d be best to take this rumor with a grain of salt, don’t rule it out completely – at least not yet.

Thanks for the tip, Josh!
