Update: Bumping to the front page, as this has now confirmed (see scan below).

Nintendo Everything reader Sondast tells us that the May 2012 issue of Nintendo Power has confirmed New Play Control! Pikmin 2 for North America. It’s apparently releasing this June. This does seem likely, but we’ll mark this as a rumor until we can verify the news.

New Play Control! Pikmin 2 made it out in Japan and Europe back in 2009. Even though the Wii port of the first game was brought stateside, the sequel was not released in North America. Launching New Play Control! Pikmin 2 would be a great way to remind fans of Pikmin 3’s impending arrival on Wii U.

Konami has made Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 official today. For Nintendo platforms, the game will be coming to the 3DS, and Wii (nothing has been said about Wii U thus far…). PES is being prepared for a Fall 2013 launch.

The official game announcement can be found below.

Individuality and Full Control the key as PES 2013 moves the goalposts

Konami Digital Entertainment will offer football fans an unprecedented level of control, when its PES 2013 title returns to the field this Autumn.

As befits a game endorsed by Cristiano Ronaldo – a player who embodies the skill and grace of top level football – PES 2013 sees the series returning to its roots, with the emphasis on the individual skills of the world’s best players, and giving the player the total freedom to play any style of ball, which includes for the first time full control over shots.. This follows further consultation with both football and PES fans alike, and the result is the most faithful recreation of modern day football to date, with players modeled to match the running motions, abilities and playing styles, and the flicks and turns of their real-life counterparts.

Three key elements form the basis of PES 2013’s innovations, with all new additions falling within the fields of PES FullControl, Player ID, and ProActive AI.

Son of the Dragon often comes up in interviews with Renegade Kid. It would have been the company’s first Wii game, and there would have been a DS version as well.

Sadly the project was killed off once publisher Gamecock was dissolved by Southpeak. As noted by Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, Southpeak was reluctant to move forward with Son of the Dragon due to the market situation with Wii.

Watsham’s explanation of the situation (rough translation):

“We signed the game with Gamecock, who published the first U.S. Dementium. They were a great group. Son of the Dragon agreed with them to Wii and Nintendo DS, three years ago, before the 3DS. We started developing this dual game was going well. It was like a kind of Castlevania and 3D third-person, but you were Dracula and were getting some RPG elements to give you wealth. It was action-oriented, had much combat (people experienced in the subject was with this). He was ambitious and complicated, and I think it would be fun and very good. Dracula is incredible, has so much potential and history behind it.

“Southpeak bought Gamecock then. By then, the Wii market was going through many challenges, especially with the original games, ‘hardcore’ or whatever you call games for players, not for the family. Southpeak I think he thought ‘this is a lot of money, do not know if it’s something that will sell well,’ so I understand. It was naturally disappointing, but perhaps it was the right decision, unfortunately.”

Even though the Wii/DS versions were killed off, Renegade Kid could revitalize the IP on the Wii U and 3DS. The company owns the rights, so anything is possible.

According to Watsham (rough translation):

“You can, of course. We again have rights, so we can do things with it. It is always possible, is something I have spent many veves in my career. I have an idea, it does not work for any reason, and suddenly reappeared in some way … That always made ??me feel, not to lose all these ideas. They can change, learn new ways, but always good and never ceases to amaze when old ideas are again useful. It’s great.

“It is certainly possible. I am a huge fan of the game in third person. I have not done any, so you have to do is a personal challenge.”

One thing about these videos: it shows the execution rather than the setup. So… in a way that makes it this less interesting.

Plus, I don’t know about you guys, but I enjoyed the Wii Remote (Plus) controls for the most part. I never was able to adjust to the flying segments, but other than that, everything was pretty much dandy and the swordplay was entertaining.
