The moon hinted in the last issue of Nintendo Power caused a huge stir among the gaming community. Theories were formed and the guesses were numerous based on DS and Wii titles. Unfortunately, the revelation of the mystery may disappoint some. The Nintendo Power moon is none other than Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the Nintendo DS. In the letters section, it was explained, “Well, see, the moon itself was a clue about this month’s Castlevania cover game! Um…get it? (Gulp.) Okay, so we stretched things by hinting that clues could be fond “in” the moon – it was all Steve’s fault…!”

Even though World of Goo will be releasing on four different platforms, the Wii will be the only version with two player co-op. The game suits two player co-op perfectly, as players manipulate goo balls to pass through terrain and gravity. Expect World of Goo to launch in the coming months.

Capcom, a gaming company that is well known for the development of a wide array of titles, seems to be shifting its focus slightly. CVG reports that Haruhiro Tsujimoto, President of Capcom, has expressed interest in creating movies out of its exisiting video game franchises. “We are in the process of working out contracts for several offers we received at the Cannes Film Festival last week and hope to make an announcement soon. If realized, the projects will have a big impact on the game and movie industries. We want to do with games what Marvel did with comics.” Capcom certainly has large ambitions, but video game to movie transitions have varied in quality. Everyone remembers the endearing, although abysmal Super Mario Bros. movie and countless other poor movie productions.

Those who have been patiently waiting for a better Wii package to show up may have their wishes fulfilled. Allegedley, a new SKU has entered a temporary condition of “early warning.” The stock with the current SKU tags will be replaced with Wii consoles with the newer labels in 90 days. It is not known whether or not this new SKU could mean a new bundle, colors, or something completely different.
