I've been hearing a lot of secret "reduce your hype" on this. Rumor is that it's an IOS port.

A flub on the japanese Square-enix store page for the soundtrack of TWEWY outed this as the truth.

Edit: Okay so maybe it's not entirely terrible?

Quote from: The now removed part of the soundtrack page

This subaseka sound is powering up its arrival again. The World Ends with You was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. It was praised for its quality of the game, quality soundtrack, and it has received a very high rating. An iOS version of the game will be released in North America and Europe in 2012.

This product, in addition to new music for the iOS, music that was arranged for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] has also been included. Please enjoy this music again, for the memories of the hot summer spent with Neku.

that actually is better than a sequel that ruins everything so i'll accept it

So, apparently confirmed for just IOS port and I guess soundtrack stuff?

Valve's up to something.

Quote

Valve Software has just revealed a bit more about its apparent intention to jump from gaming software to computer hardware: a job posting for an industrial designer noticed by CVG states that the company is "frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space" and that Valve is "jumping in" to fill a "void in the marketplace."

While this job posting seems to confirm the persistent rumors that Valve is looking to get into the hardware business, it doesn't tell us much about what form the company's efforts will take: in addition to the "Steam Box" console rumors, Valve has also obtained a patent for a controller with swappable parts. The wording of the job listing also doesn't preclude some sort of gaming PC, though Valve director Gabe Newell has made his dissatisfaction with the forthcoming Windows 8 "catastrophe" quite clear. Anything that creates a "compelling user experience" appears to be fair game, though the listing specifically calls out basic input devices like the keyboard and mouse as elements that "haven't really changed in any meaningful way over the years."

Hm -- I'm thinking Linux-based gaming system. Could be a console or a desktop computer, though of course the distinction between those two things is getting blurrier all the time.

Basing it on open hardware standards could be damned interesting.

I'm thinking digital distribution-based console.

Couple of Arma 3 devs got arrested for espionage, apparently could get up to 20 years if convicted.

... Well I guess I'm getting a Wii U, what with Bayonetta 2 being an exclusive.

Platinum I can't believe you've done this.

Hee hee, I love how the comments section is all people blustering "well, I didn't want it anyway!"

Brentai · « **Reply #3671 on:** September 13, 2012, 10:25:21 AM »

It's fine by me. Unless Nintendo maintains its "one generation behind" policy this means we'll get it on the most powerful hardware at the time of release, plus there's no danger of buying The Really Bad Version this time.

I mean, it FEELS weird, but maybe this will lead to Bayonetta/Samus slash fiction or something.

Büge · « **Reply #3672 on:** September 13, 2012, 10:44:15 AM »

You never know. She might show up in Super Smash Brothers Scrimmage or whatever the next one's called.

Smiler · « **Reply #3673 on:** September 13, 2012, 10:47:08 AM »

The only thing that worries me is that the controller for the Wii U is going to be so clunky. It's going to be like playing games while holding a netbook.

Brentai · « **Reply #3674 on:** September 13, 2012, 10:53:14 AM »

I wonder what Bayonetta's taunts would look like.

Or her combos.

Or her smashes.

Honestly I think she might end up being represented by a giant black censor bar.

Büge · « **Reply #3675 on:** September 13, 2012, 11:08:09 AM »

Oh come on, Brent. Putting Bayonetta in the game and slapping a big M FOR MATURE sticker on it is a license to print money.

Cthulhu-chan · « **Reply #3676 on:** September 13, 2012, 01:51:11 PM »

god damn it.

god damn it.

and apparently MH3U is coming to the US on WiiU as well.

I guess that's enough to justify a WiiU.

Speaking of WiiU-exclusives...

Tekken you have seriously got to stop trying so hard. You're already everyone's least favorite fighting series.
