This information comes from Ubisoft UK Managing Director Rob Cooper…
“What you always get with Nintendo is innovation, with consumers at the heart of the technologies they create, which will always result in huge success and I’m more than confident that Wii 2 will live up to this. Never underestimate Nintendo and their capacity to look at gaming in new and innovative ways, I expect to be wowed.”
Nintendo always has something up their sleeves when they’re ready to reveal a new system. And usually, as Nintendo says, a new system is introduced when they have new ideas for games that can’t be accomplished on current hardware. So I definitely expect them to have some interesting projects to show at E3.
In April, it was discovered that Square Enix filed a trademark for Heroes of Ruin. The title has been unveiled today, and may surprise some fans.
It looks like n-Space is teaming up with Square Enix to bring this brand new project to the 3DS. This is n-Space’s first game for the handheld, and I believe this is their first partnership with Square Enix. Only one piece of art has been released, but hopefully we’ll receive some concrete information soon.

The game is definitely a looker, and the gameplay looks fantastic. I’m still amazed that Shin’en is able to pull off such an effort on WiiWare.
