Rumors began to appear last night that High Voltage is developing two unannounced titles. While it remains to be seen if the speculation was valid, signs are pointing to the fact that the company is indeed working on at least one project. A member of High Voltage commented on the new HVS title and said that gamers “are in for a real treat.” So, the chances of there being two secret titles, as was the original claim, is a strong possibility.

“Thanks for all the support guys! Im not on Grinder right now (I only helped kick start it, and no, I wont say what im on right now : ) ) but you guys are in for a real treat! I LOVE the whole horror genre and they are really coming up with some AMAZING stuff!!”

Thanks to Jake for the news tip!

There have been a number of different applications for Wii including the News Channel, Weather Channel, and even a food ordering channel (Japan only). However, none are as unique as Silver Star Japan’s newest tool for WiiWare: Easy Non Smoking Appli Wii. You can probably guess what this application is all about, but details can be read below.

We posted the debut video of Final Fantasy Gaiden earlier today, but here’s a first look at the battle system.

“The concept would definitely work on other platforms as well and we’ve seen gamers from very different backgrounds pick it up and enjoy it equally. We’ve seen both kinds of gamers instantly taking to the game, the casual gamer that played a few games before as well as hardcore ones that play nothing but the latest titles on PS3 and X360. But we never limited ourselves to the DS as platform in our heads and we’ll see what the future holds.” – technical director Marius Fahlbusch

5th Cell has been mostly known for their work on the DS and phones, so it would be a bit odd to see Scribblenauts land on a different platform. If I had a choice to play the title, I’d still pick the DS over any other system because being able to use the touchscreen makes the gameplay seem more streamlined.

Fear comes CALLING
Hudson Soft introduces a new line in horror
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has unveiled a terrifying new take on the horror genre, in the form of Hudson Soft’s CALLING for Wii. Using unique interaction elements, the Wii game features an innovative adventure concept and is driven by its terrifying story and many traps and mysteries. It will be distributed by Konami in early 2010.

CALLING brings new heights to the horror genre, with a breath-taking control system that immerses the player into its nightmare scenario. The player begins the game trapped in a strange room, with the Wii Remote doubling as the on-screen protagonist’s mobile phone. Using a torch to scour the dimly-lit area, players will also receive mysterious calls to their handset, which are answered by raising the Wii Remote to their ear. From this simple basis, CALLING then ramps up the fear, as a ghostly voice speaks directly to the user…
