Capcom released their forecast revisions for year ending March 31, 2010 today and the company had some unfortunate news to share with fans. Monster Hunter 3 (overseas release), in addition to Lost Planet 2 and Super Street Fighter 4 have been delayed to the next fiscal year. This means that these titles are now expected to ship anytime from April 1st 2010 to March 31st 2011. In their revisions, Capcom highlighted reasons for the delays:

?Avoid competing with the major titles that other companies plan to introduce
in the 4th quarter
?Preserve the value of Capcom’s titles and maximize sales volume
?Expand the lineup of titles in the next fiscal year and afterward

The First Original Title in a Decade From a Legendary Japanese Developer

NEW YORK, NY – December 21, 2009 – GAME ARTS announced today that the heartwarming action-adventure game The Magic Obelisk will be available in North America on WiiWare™ on December 28, 2009. This is the first original title in a decade from the acclaimed Japanese developer. The Magic Obelisk is an unforgettably original gameplay experience featuring fascinating characters, an extraordinary tale, and the forge of a deep friendship.

Featuring over 30 stages, The Magic Obelisk revolves around a tree spirit named Lukus. Like other tree spirits of this world, Lukus is gifted with the ability to transform into trees and is eager to use his powers to help people around the world. He is looking for the perfect place to take root and become a tree, but unfortunately the only way he can move is by shadows, a journey he cannot complete himself. Players are tasked with helping Lukus reach his goal by taking charge of Popo, a light spirit who can shine his light near the mysterious Magic Obelisks to create shadows. When Popo shines his light near one of these obelisks, he can create shadows and connect two or more shadows to help Lukus move through the level.

This information comes from Monster Games president Richard Garcia and Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada…

“In Vs. Excitebike, you could play local two-player mode with horizontal split-screen. (You must know your games really well given that the game was launched only in Japan as a Famicom Disk System game!)

We wanted to add local multiplayer to this game as well. But as you can see by playing the game, the player can jump so high that they leave the screen for a while. If we split the screen horizontally, the player can jump off the screen for an even longer time whenever they do a big jump. We couldn’t split the screen vertically, since it is important in this game to see down the track to plan your moves. Instead of being fun, split-screen was just stressful. We finally decided that it would be best if multiplayer gaming was restricted to Wi-Fi mode.”

“We cancelled a new sports game utilising Wii MotionPlus. Even through we have more ideas we can’t give too much away as they may still materialise one day.” – director Keita Eto

Wow, I’m quite surprised by this news. Skip has mainly been developing games in the Art Style series, of course. So I wouldn’t expect to hear that they were working on a MotionPlus sports game for Wii.
