Capcom opened an enigmatic teaser site today, titled “DD”. The site contains a countdown timer in addition to a simple animation… and that’s pretty much it. We’ll have to wait a bit before finding out what the site is all about, unfortunately. The counter will expire in seven days, which is basically a week from today. Might the site be related to an announcement at Captivate?
Update: Courtesy of this week’s Famitsu, you can also check out the first scans below and the first batch of information here.
It appears that Pandora’s Tower already has a release date. It’ll launch in Japan on May 26.
The Wii Zapper, Wii Wheel, and Wii Balance Board (you can throw MotionPlus in there as well) aren’t the only accessories Nintendo has worked on for their home console. A 2009 patent indicates that they were also experimenting with something called “Wii Light.” It isn’t clear if this is a project that Nintendo is still working on. It sounds interesting, though! Here’s a rundown of what Wii Light is capable of:
– Plug the accessory into the Wii, LEDs show a rainbow of colors
– Red, blue, green LEDs
– Can show 256 colors by turning on different LEDs and adjusting saturation
– Light from the LEDs go through condensing lenses to blend the colors from each LED so the light appears as one colored beam
– Different intensities and patterns (example: blinking)
– Could change color when a bullet hits its mark or if a fist reaches a face
– Games could be programmed to synchronize button presses with light flashes or changing colors
– Music game proposal: Wii Light changes colors to match background music, light can sync to a player’s plastic instrument so players can hear and see how well they’re playing
Update: There appears to be some confusion about Famitsu scores this week. It has been confirmed that Famitsu did not write any reviews in their last issue, but the scores below were supposedly the real deal. That’s come into question now, as 1UP says that there are no reviews this week. I’m inclined to believe them, for now at least. We’ll let you know if we hear anything else about the reviews…
Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen Z Hakai-hen (PSP) – 10/9/9/9
Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PSP) – 9/9/9/9
Cross Channel: In Memory of All People (360) – 9/8/8/8
Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2011 (3DS) – 7/9/7/8
Homefront (PS3/360) – 7/9/7/8
Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2011 (PS3) – 7/8/8/7

This information comes from TT Games’ Jonathan Smith…
“We’re always trying out new things, and we’ve certainly got some surprises in the pipeline for future titles.”
I’ve always felt like the LEGO games are enjoyable experiences, but I think that the series needs something new. You know, something interesting to spice things up a bit. I’m interested in hearing about the “surprises” TT Games has in store.
