Dragon Quest X is an online title, but that doesn’t mean all future entries in the series will follow the same path. During a press conference in Tokyo earlier today, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada commented on what fans can expect in terms of online play. Wada said, “We’re not making them all online. We’ll continue with a variety of developments, online included.”

About a week ago, leaked footage of an incredibly promising game based on The Avengers was discovered on YouTube. THQ Brisbane closed shop in August, leading to the cancellation of the project.

The game was definitely in development for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC… but it appears that THQ was planning on releasing a Wii U version as well. The LinkedIn profile of ex-THQ Brisbane employee Drew Mayo indicates that he was working on an unannounced title for all four platforms. The Avengers game was never revealed, as we probably wouldn’t have known about it had the footage not been leaked.

So, that “unannounced” project was most likely the game based on The Avengers. And it probably would have been released for Wii U.

It’s no secret that G4 has been involved with quite a bit of Nintendo bashing in the past. I can still remember when Morgan Webb essentially called Super Mario Galaxy kiddy a couple of years ago.

And now they’re at it again! In a video that covers action games, Webb and Adam Sessler touch briefly on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword… except their comments aren’t too positive.

Do I see some blue in there?!

For the first time, Pokemon Company will be attending Jump Festa. And you may remember that a few months ago, Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara hinted at a new game announcement before the end of the year.

Does that mean a new title will be revealed at the show? We don’t know for sure, but that’s what some fans are speculating. Jump Festa could turn out to be very interesting for Pokemon fans!
