As you can see from the image above, Rogue Squadron has been listed on GAME’s website. Interestingly, the retailer says that Activision Blizzard is the publisher. I don’t know how seriously the listing should be taken for now, although it would be pretty neat if it were true.

Thanks to John L for the news tip!

Remember that Super Mario Sunshine nugget we posted yesterday? Well, here’s another hidden Nintendo secret for you.

Take a listen to the GameCube’s menu music:

Nothing seems to be too exciting about that, right? Well, let’s speed up the music by about twenty-five times…

Believe it or not, that music is actually the same song found on the Famicom disc system BIOS startup screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

Nintendo confirms it has successfully taken action against an Australian company in relation to game copying devices, commonly referred to as R4 cards. In September 2009 Nintendo filed proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against RSJ. IT Solutions Pty Ltd which trades as “GadgetGear” – an online seller of gadgets, including gaming consoles and accessories- and the individual directors of the company, Patrick Li and James Li.

GadgetGear and its directors have now acknowledged that game copying devices infringe both Nintendo’s copyright and Nintendo’s trademarks and that they are illegal circumvention devices. As a result, GadgetGear and the directors have agreed to permanently refrain from importing, offering for sale and/or selling game copier devices. GadgetGear and the directors will also pay Nintendo a total of A$620,000.00 by way of damages. GadgetGear will also be delivering to Nintendo all its stock of game copiers for destruction.

Giant scorpions. Invading robots. Underwater monsters. These are just a few of the imposing images you will see as Majesco Entertainment Company today released new screens for Attack of the Movies 3D, the first-ever 3D shooter for Wii™. These “2D” screenshots give the first look at the enemies and environments players must battle in order to save the day in their very own action movie experience.

In Attack of the Movies 3D, players take on the role of the hero in their favorite action film by battling through six 3D movie-themed worlds! Using genre-based weapons within each scene, players fight off attacking enemies including zombies, robots, giant insects and more. The game comes packaged ready for action with four pairs of 3D glasses to support multiplayer mode. Players can defeat enemies with the help of up to three friends while still competing to see who achieves the highest score, or play in single player mode and fight alone. Additionally, branching paths and changing enemy attack patterns ensure that – unlike the real movies – players will never fight the same battle twice.

Developed by Panic Button Games Inc., Attack of the Movies 3D is expected to release Spring 2010 and will be available for a SRP of $29.99.
