In an interview with Polygon, Capcom’s senior product manager revealed that the company would absolutely be willing to continue looking to the past for old franchises or games that could use modern remakes, similar to what they’re doing with DuckTales later this year. They’re unable to talk about exactly what games might be getting the treatment, but they did hint that Aliens vs. Predator (the 1994 side-scroller) is the one that fans have been requesting most.

We’ll let you know if they announce anything else for a remake.

SEGA may have let a couple details slip about Sonic Lost World through its official Sonic Facebook page.

Three images are rumored to have been shown on the page while more information had been promised for May 29. The first photo described sounds quite a bit like the official artwork piece released today. Another image, Sonic Stadium writes, “is said to have featured the outline of six ‘guardians’ from the game who may be friends or foes.”

One reader tip sent to Sonic Stadium reads:

Update: Summerwill’s tweets have been removed, so we’ve added in a screencap of his more-recent comments instead.

This hasn’t been a good month for the Wii U in terns of EA news.

A few weeks ago, DICE’s Frostbite technical director Johan Andersson said that Frostbite 3 has never been running on Wii U while Frostbite 2 tests were “not too surprising”. EA ended up announcing Frostbite Go for mobile platforms just a couple of days ago.

And just recently, EA confirmed that it isn’t working on any Wii U games. When asked why the publisher isn’t bringing FIFA to the console this year, a spokesperson pointed to poor sales of last year’s release.

Unfortunately, things haven’t stopped there. EA Sports senior software engineer Bob Summerwill has pretty much trashed the Wii U on Twitter, calling it “crap” and “Less powerful than an Xbox 360.” The console’s online store and GamePad were also criticized. And that was only one tweet.

Here’s the full roundup of Summerwill’s quotes:

Nintendo and SEGA announced two new Sonic games today. Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games both made their debuts during the Nintendo Direct.

But that’s not all. A third, mysterious game is in development as well, according to a press release sent by SEGA. We don’t know anything about it – will it be for both the Wii U and 3DS? Just one platform? And when will it be revealed?

Stay tuned!

Considering that a new Nintendo Direct is less than a month away, today’s presentation wasn’t too shabby. But really, it’s the next broadcast that everyone will be paying attention to.

Satoru Iwata temporarily took over the Nintendo of America Twitter account to re-re-confirm (I’m making that up!) that Smash Bros., 3D Mario, and Mario Kart will be featured on the next Nintendo Direct. Other Wii U titles will be shown, too.
