Ignition Entertainment, the publisher behind Muramasa: The Demon Blade, is teasing a new game announcement for today. The following messages were left on the company’s Twitter and Facebook page:

“(Ignition) is gearing up for a very, very special game announcement tomorrow!…we won’t disappoint! RT @Dasfoldingfive: So excited! I expect nothing less than my next new favorite game from you guys…It’s gonna be good!”

Like most teases these days, Ignition did not say which platform the unannounced game is for. But we’ll know what it’s all about in a few hours.

Thanks to QQQ for the news tip!

Buy 2, get 1 free sales are all the rage these days. The same promotion from Toys R Us and Amazon ended a few days ago. However, gamers who missed out the first two times will receive one more chance to take advantage of the same deal starting this Sunday.

All titles that are $59.99 or less are included in Best Buy’s buy 2, get 1 free deal. The good news here is that unlike Toys R Us, Best Buy will surely offer a much large and varied game selection. You’ll be able to take part in the sale until October 31.

Note: The deal has been confirmed to be for $59.99 games and lower, not $59.98 as some had initially suspected. And although only Wii/PS3/360 games can be purchased, you’ll receive free shipping if you order online (wait until around 3 PM EDT).

By becoming a Connection Ambassador, players can gain up to 10,000 Wii Points by encouraging friends and family to get connected to the Internet with their Wii. Each time a friend or family member connects for the first time to the Internet with the help of the Connection Ambassador, both the Connection Ambassador and the person they helped will receive 500 Wii Points.

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich has discussed Dead Space Extraction’s poor sales and notes that EA did not support the title with strong advertising…

“Electronic Arts didn’t market Dead Space Extraction as much as it does with other titles. And the success or failure of a Wii title usually correlates directly to marketing spend. If Electronic Arts spent little on marketing, I am sure the sell through was no surprise to them. So I do not believe sell through was a disappointment to EA. Given Wii games tend to have a flatter sales curve, I don’t think 20,000 plus units is out of the question for October and maybe we get a holiday bump in November and December. Most games have a 12 to 24 month development schedule and over a year ago the industry was under the assumption that mature-rated games could succeed on the Wii. Unfortunately, as we progressed and witnessed the sales results from games such as MadWorld, it became pretty clear the market size for games with mature-content was extremely small, much smaller than any other home platform. The truth is most core gamers who gravitate towards mature content likely own more than just a Wii.”
