For the most part, Mickey Mouse’s role in video games has been limited to the Kingdom Hearts series. A few months ago though, leaked concept art and details were released for Warren Spector’s “Epic Mickey,” which will supposedly focus on old/forgotten characters that wish to take revenge against Mickey. And in next month’s Game Informer, the game may finally see a proper announcement.

In the October 2009 issue of the magazine, Game Informer provided the following teaser:

Something epic is brewing

Next month, Game Informer unleashes a storm of epic proportions with its new design and website relaunch, and the star of the show is someone you just might know…

On the second page of the teaser, there’s a picture of Mickey’s head…Just without the face. I’d say there’s a good chance that the cover story for next month’s G.I. is Epic Mickey, especially considering that there seems to be emphasis on the word “epic.”

Thanks to kepo for the news tip!

Scans from the latest edition of Famitsu…

Looks like the ESRB has leaked information about a new Castlevania title for Wii, which will contain classic 2D goodness. We are making an assumption that this is heading to WiiWare, however. Considering Contra ReBirth is a downloadable title, I’d say this title has a strong chance of following a similar path.

Castlevania the Adventure ReBirth

Platform: Wii

Rating: Teen

Content descriptors: Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence

Rating summary: This is a side-scrolling action game in which players battle against monsters in Dracula’s castle. Players use a chained whip to fight their way through halls and dungeons filled with zombies, skeletons, flying eyeballs, and bats. The enemy creatures frequently shoot projectiles and attack players in hand-to-hand combat. If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood. Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, blood-like splotches.

Factor 5, in the minds of many Wii owners, will most likely always be remembered for their rumored involvement with the revival of Kid Icarus. Yet in the past few months, the possibility that the company has been working on a new Pilotwings game has seemed more likely. There’s a bit of additional speculation about Factor 5 today, though.

Factor 5 is said to have been working on two Wii projects most recently. And apparently, development on both games will be wrapped up by year’s end. Only one of the titles has a publisher right now, however.

There’s also one other piece of interesting news. Although it’s almost a year old, two Wii-exclusive projects were found in an October 2008 listing of a client record from Digital Development Management. Even more intriguing is that Nintendo was listed as the publisher of one of the unannounced titles. As far as the genre goes, it’s action, flight, RPG, or adventure. Perhaps that Nintendo-published game may have been referring to a Pilotwings for Wii.

Remember how, just a few months ago, numerous Nintendo representatives including President Satoru Iwata stated that there are no plans for a price drop? So much for that…Maybe. Kotaku has apparently obtained an early circular ad of Walmart, which shows that a price drop is planned for the first week of October. While the new price of the console was not printed on the ad, a $50 drop would seem most reasonable. For now, Nintendo of America has yet to comment on this rumor, but we’ll know if this is valid speculation soon enough. October is less than a month away after all.
