Today’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed update focuses on new characters/levels.
According to a write-up on IGN, Shinobi’s Joe Musashi will be appearing as a playable character. The site describes his ride as “a transforming land, sea and air vehicle that looks as though it’s been borrowed from Batman, complete with black paint job, angular body work and stealth-dampened sound effects.”
Regarding new tracks, a Golden Axe-inspired “Adder’s Lair” level is being added. The Jet Set Radio Tokyo-to will be one of the games’ raceways as well.
A domain name for a possible new Scribblenauts title has been discovered. Earlier this week, Warner Bros.’s registrar nabbed the site “ScribblenautsUnimited.com”.
Assuming this is a real game, perhaps it’ll come to Wii U. Developer 5th is rumored to be working on a launch game for the platform.
The Scribblenauts series has previously seen entries on the DS and iOS.

Chart-Topping Performance Sets The Stage For E3 Debut Of Eagerly Anticipated Sequel Skylanders Giants™
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), is pleased to announce that Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure™, which launched to great acclaim and record-setting sales in October 2011, was the #1 best-selling console and handheld video game title between January and April 30, 2012 worldwide based on revenue inclusive of toys and accessories, according to The NPD Group, GfK, Charttrack and Activision internal estimates.
“This achievement is incredibly gratifying, and quite an honor for everyone at Activision and our team at Toys for Bob,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “It was a simple idea really—bridging the gap between real and virtual play—but one that required tremendous creativity to execute and communicate to our audience. It spawned a new category and a new platform for play in an overwhelmingly challenging marketplace. We couldn’t be happier that there is an ever-growing universe of Portal Masters out there.”
There are a bunch of LEGO video games on the way. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and LEGO City Stories have already been announced, and now a third title is on the way.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has officially confirmed LEGO The Lord of the Rings today. It doesn’t have a release date, but it will be launching on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, 3DS, DS, and Vita this fall.
