Word on the street is that Namco Bandai has pushed back Tales of the Abyss in Europe. The game will now ship sometime in 2012. Originally, Tales of the Abyss was due out on November 25.

The title is still planned for a February 14, 2012 release in North America.

SEGA has said outright that Sonic Generations isn’t coming to Wii. However, Nintendo has a much more powerful console launching next year that could certainly handle the project. So, would SEGA consider porting the title to Wii U?

Apparently it’s something that the company is thinking about. In order for it to happen, though, sales of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of the game will have to surpass their internal expectations. TSSZ says that, according to their source, a “secondary” game is in the works for the new console.

“Regarding the prospects of a Wii U Generations port, our source indicates Sega could prepare it for the system’s launch sometime next year, but only if sales of existing versions far exceed Sega’s internal expectations. Even if that doesn’t pan out, the source says there indeed is a Sonic in the works for the system, and it is likely another secondary title. If that holds, it would continue Sega’s strategy of keeping primary fare on XBOX 360 and PS3, while Nintendo consoles get their own unique games.”

Technically Nintendo’s new right slide pad hasn’t been confirmed. However, it’s starting to sound more and more likely as the minutes pass by. Here’s how the peripheral is supposedly described as in Famitsu…

– Peripheral placed towards the right of the ABXY buttons
– Attachment has an R2 button
– This means the 3DS will have L1, R1, and R2 buttons, but not L2
– Peripheral apparently clips onto the whole 3DS (like a charger)
– Juts out 1cm at left, 2-3cm at right, 2cm at bottom, 2-3cm in thickness

Again, this peripheral hasn’t been confirmed. If it’s true, we should be able to verify the news (and the details above) soon…

Is a confirmation for Monster Hunter Tri G almost here? That appears to be the case, as numerous Japanese blogs are reporting that the title has been announced. One would think that if it’s true, the news would be taken from this week’s Famitsu.

And here’s another odd rumor: apparently the magazine also has information on a new peripheral for 3DS that will allow the system to use a second slide pad. You know, it’s basically that crazy rumor that originally popped up on 01Net… except now it’s not looking so crazy!

Hopefully we’ll receive some concrete information soon.

A few weeks ago, we posted a listing of pre-TGS rumors that now appears to be completely legitimate. With Nintendo’s 3DS Conference taking place in less than a week, how about we throw some new speculation into the mix?

The rumors are:

• Monster Hunter exclusive for 3DS, supports online play.
• A Yoshi side scroller for 3DS, developed by Good-Feel.
• New game from WarioWare team.
• Etrian Odyssey 3DS
• Hatsune Miku 3DS, contains all songs from Project DIVA 1 and 2.
• New 3DS color: solid silver.
• Presentation on eShop demos; Super Mario Land 3D will have a downloadable demo.
• The “new project” from Alchemist, the famous visual novel company, is an entirely new “moe mystery” for 3DS.
• Ace Attorney 5, will supposedly include an Edgeworth scenario. AA: Investigations being phased in to main series?

This rumor batch seems more believable than some of the other claims that have been thrown around in recent days. However, you should still be cautious of the points above. I have a feeling that the rumors originated from 2ch, and that site has a habit of making a few things up…

Update: It seems that the latest issue of Nintendo Dream is already available, though it only contains the two details below.

Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft will supposedly be sharing the first details on their next project in an issue of Nintendo Dream. There are just two few details about the title so far. Speculation indicates that it will be an RPG for the 3DS and will be the third entry in a series.

As someone who absolutely loved Baten Kaitos, I can’t help but wish that the announcement is in regards to Baten Kaitos 3. A Baten Kaitos DS game was in development at one point before being mysteriously cancelled. The series is viewed highly in the eyes of critics, but neither game sold particularly well.

A rumored online survey from Disney seems to indicate that Epic Mickey to is on the way. A few possible boxarts were displayed along with a few name choices: Epic Mickey 2: Return of the Mad Doctor, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Epic Mickey 2: Mystery on Mean Street, and Epic Mickey 2.

This time around, the sequel will end up on Wii, along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A 2-player split screen mode is planned in which the player could control Mickey Mouse or Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. The survey says that Oswald will be able to “fly like a helicopter” and use electricity to “fight or friend” foes.

That’s assuming the survey is real of course. I have a feeling it is given the commercial success Epic Mickey has experienced.

01Net is at it once again. The site has released a third Nintendo article today, though this time it doesn’t focus on a particular system. You can find some of the more interesting pieces from the report below.

To be honest, I’m having a very hard time believing this round of speculation. That’s what the rumor tag is for, I suppose!

A few pre-TGS rumors have surfaced, but they have a bit of extra credibility compared to the average speculation. Why? Well, although the rumors are a few months old, some of them have actually been proven accurate already.

For instance, Rhythm Thnief R: Emperor Napoleon’s Legacy was just confirmed in Famitsu today, but the rumor originated back in July.

Here’s the rumor checklist as it stands now:

[ ] 4 Warriors of Light 2, 3DS
[ ] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS
[ ] Miku Hatsune, 3DS
[x] Sega has a Layton-like game but with rhythm action instead of puzzles, to be announced at TGS.
[ ] DQ10 is being designed as an MMO-like game.

We’ve posted the Nintendo-related rumors in this post, but if you’d like to see the full list, head on over to this link.

01Net published an article yesterday regarding information they’ve received about the 3DS. Today, they’ve followed up with some Wii U rumors.

The first topic of discussion focuses on the controller’s main chipset. There is apparently some concern that it is limiting. 01Net’s source goes as far as to say that it might be “a tad too cheap”. The site also claims that wireless capabilities aren’t functioning just yet and a fourth prototype will be made available before month’s end.
