Interactive Crime-Solving Title Scheduled for Release this Holiday Season
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – August 27, 2009 – Leading videogame publisher, SouthPeak Games, announced today a new Nintendo DS™ title, Crime Scene™, scheduled for release this holiday season. Crime Scene puts players in the role of a detective, giving them a full arsenal of police tools to solve crimes and ensure justice is served.
“People love a good ‘whodunit’, so we’re about to give them a bunch of head-scratching crimes to solve,” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak. “Whether you are a fan of police dramas on TV, classic detective fiction, or just tricky puzzles, Crime Scene allows players to take part in their own tense, high stakes investigation and get involved in forensic work.”
This information comes from the Retro Studios video tour/developer interview which we posted yesterday…
“Of course I’m sad to see her go. But those things have a way of creeping back. I think Retro will always be associated with the Metroid Prime franchise. And who knows, maybe we’ll do another one some day.” – Michael Kelbaugh, President & CEO of Retro Studios
Personally, I would love to see Retro work on one more Metroid game. For now I’m happy that they’re developing something different, but I know that I’ll always remember Retro for successfully handling Samus’ transition from 2D to 3D.

We only found out about the Okamiden trademark a few days ago, but we won’t have to wait much longer to find out what this mystery title is all about. 7&Y, an e-commerce site, not only confirms the game’s existence, yet also manages to let people know that the game will be present in the upcoming issue of Famitsu. It should be noted that e-commerce sites have accidentally let similar news be leaked in the past – Specifically with the Metal Gear Solid titles which were supposed to be properly announced at E3.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade focuses on RPG elements mixed in with a little bit of action. Sure, the game features a bath scene and some slightly undressed characters. That’s about all there is in terms of any other provocativeness though. The latest edition of Play magazine, however, makes Muramasa look a tad more sexual. The cover is depicting the battle with the Kraken in a very, very different way. Check it out below.
