Back in January, the secret dark Wii title that IGN had been hinting about for months was revealed. The only problem was that the game was then considered to be canceled. So what has changed since gamers last heard about Winter?

The developers of the game have since created a new build of the game – Winter 2.0, as Dan O’Leary, president of development and creative director Ted Newman call it. Two weeks or so have been spent on the project. The developers have not only polished the game, but they have also added features such as Wii MotionPlus support for character attacks and object-based interactions. Graphically, the 3D engine has seen improvements. Textures have been upgraded and effects such as realistic falling snow and an overhaul of the flashlight can be noticed. The best news of all is that, according to O’Leary, a couple of publishers have shown interest in Winter. This could be an important step in seeing the game eventually release.

Gamers may remember that, last month, NGamer said they would have the scoop on Red Steel 2. Well, the issue has made the rounds to subscribers and strangely, information on the title appears to be absent. It really is a mystery as to what happened since Red Steel 2 seemed to be the centerpiece for the magazine’s latest issue. Apparently the game wasn’t even mentioned in the latest NGamer at all. Looks like gamers will have to wait a little while longer for Ubisoft to pull back the curtain on the game.

“Code execution from SDROM we were not pre-briefed on (or at least I wasn’t). Arcade we’ve known about for a good while…I’ve got no news to share on this [Virtual Console Arcade]. Sorry.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

“I’m not commenting on specific titles at this time BUT…They’ve fixed something for consumers which is fantastic… the question is, does this change allow for a change in the filesize limitations that the Wiiware program has had. That was notably absent from Iwata’s keynote but is a question I will be following up on with our reps at Nintendo. I’m hopeful.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

I know there are quite a number of people out there that would like to see Capcom supporting the Virtual Console Arcade. Are any of you interested in one game in particular?
