Over the past few days – or weeks rather – rumors have circulating that Factor 5 has been in all sorts of trouble, including the dismissal of staff members and most recently, speculation that the company has shut down completely. Now, a new rumor has appeared, this time involving the Wii. If the latest buzz is to be believed, a tech demo has been discovered featuring a prototype engine for Nintendo’s system. Additionally, the engine is supposedly based off of the company’s Lair engine. The video is much too short and thus difficult to judge, though if anything, the engine that Factor 5 has produced has a lot of promise, if anything.

Famitsu has confirmed today that a new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers trailer is on the way. The video will be included in the Wii version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It is unclear how long the “special trailer” will be, but the video should show at least a few seconds of new footage. A few weeks ago, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers was assumed to be dead before an official statement was released by Square Enix, confirming its existence.

“There has been a 100 per cent increase in patients complaining of Wii-itis. I’ve seen many patients aged between eight and 13 — and I’ve seen adults. It’s possible that Wii-itus may lead to rheumatism and arthritis in later life. Patients often have inflammation of the shoulder or wrist. People who are double-jointed are most likely to suffer from Wii-knee — and in extreme cases the knee cap can be dislocated or can even pop out.” – Dr Dev Mukerjee, of Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex

Wow…I don’t know if this is really true or not, but somehow I really have a difficult time believing this! We’ve all heard of Wiiitis before, but have things really the situation really deteriorated to this extent? Or do people not know when they should stop playing Wii Sports/Wii Fit?
