Speculation has been ongoing the past few months concerning Mii-like characters for the Xbox 360. An enormous leak has been discovered on Intellisponse’s website, however, which seems to point to actual evidence that such characters are in the works for Xbox LIVE. The new characters are supposedly called Avatars and are a more realistic representation of people than Miis. Nothing is confirmed at this point, but this is definitely a clear piece of possible evidence that the Avatars are the real deal.

Capcom has two secret projects under its rug, waiting to be presented at E3. There’s a very good chance that one of the titles will be Mega Man 9, but the other is an unannounced Wii project. In the latest issue of NGamer, a terse and mysterious quote by the magazine provides insight into an upcoming Capcom title for the Wii.
“There’s a bullet with our name on it if we speak of their ultra top secret Wii title (a surprising take on a next-gen favourite), so we’ll stick to the safer, though still intruiging, Spyborgs.”
Reident Evil? Street Figher IV? Who knows, but there’s a strong possibility Capcom is cooking up something great.
