Tonight’s game night, if I do say so myself, was one of the best ones we’ve ever had! There were a few new faces, as well as all the returning folks that show up every week, and the mix we had was really a great one! First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that showed up for the awesome time we had, and I really hope all the newcomers come back next week. Secondly, of course, we have to announce some winners (as we did have prizes this week!), so without further ado, here are our two winners:
In first place, we have our resident Mario Kart champ, Ronin180. Ronin has been with us for Game Night literally every night since the beginning, from the days when it was just me, him, and Valay to the more recent days where we have a good group. He swept the board today with a whopping 167 total points in our 12 recorded matches!
Second place, we have a newcomer to game nights, Yohonson, who came in second with 65 points. Yohonson joined us tonight and hopped in for the matches we played, and expressed his enjoyment. He should be back many weeks into the future, and we really look forward to seeing him around more!
If the two winners could contact us by e-mailing us via the contact form, we can work out receiving your prizes! Remember that to be eligible for the prizes, you must live within the North American region (United States as well, I think!) in the case that we cannot get the prizes out to you, we will do our best to both make it up to you and to distribute the un-usable prizes as fairly as possible.
Thanks again, guys! We really look forward to seeing you again next week!
This information comes from Tetsuya Nomura’s Twitter account…
“Weather sure is nice. Good morning! Last night I talked with Taba-chan about various things. 3rd Birthday of course as well as about Agito. The staff that played Re:Coded are excited and the anticipation for 3rd Birthday is growing too. It seems the trailer for the other title occuring with Re:Coded is catching a lot of attention.”
It isn’t entirely clear what Nomura meant by “the other title occurring with Re:coded.” One possibility is that he was referring to Kingdom Hearts 3D, since that’s the only other new KH we know is officially in development. It’d be nice if Nomura clarified things on his Twitter account!
Update: Game Night is now over! Winners will be announced very soon.

Note: Game night will start at 6:30. Come gather in the IRC and chat until we start!
You all know the drill I’m sure: Hop in the IRC and play some Mario Kart Wii with all of us from the site! Remember, those in first and second place win a free copy of Grease: The Video Game for Wii or DS!
Akitoshi Kawazu, the producer of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, is working on an unannounced RPG. The news comes from issue 258 of Nintendo Power, though the magazine didn’t have any additional information to share. There is only small note that states his next game “remains a secret for now, but you can bet it won’t play things safe.”
Even though we’re hearing about this through a Nintendo publication, it doesn’t necessarily mean the project will end up on a Nintendo platform. Still, one would think that it’s likely that Kawazu will work on the Wii again, or possibly the 3DS in the future.

There is a strong chance that we’ll hear more about this game next weekend. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but Bit.Trip Beat is a likely candidate to be revealed at PAX.
