Shinji Mikami, the creator behind Resident Evil, has revealed his new game which is to be titled Zwei. The game is described as a survival horror title and will be developed for HD consoles. Mikami will serve as the game’s executive director, and is said to be “fully involved” in the project’s development. Hopefully we will see a glimpse of the game at E3.
Capcom will be unveiling a new project in the next issue of Japanese publication Famitsu. The secret project is teased in the current issue but there’s barely any hints regarding what it might be. Lets hope it’s something for the Nintendo 3DS.
Zack & Wiki producer Hironobu Takeshita has told US gaming publication Nintendo Power that he’s extremely interested in creating a sequel to the well-received Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure. Takeshita wouldn’t be drawn into which platform he would like to develop the game for, but a Wii U version would certainly be more than welcome.
“I have a great deal of interest in doing a sequel. It’s one of several IPs that I want to return to. As for Nintendo 3DS… it would be fun if people could play and solve puzzles together.”

Namco Bandai has posted a deluge of official screenshots and artwork for the forthcoming collaboration between Sega, Capcom and Namco which is titled Project X Zone.

Reika Morishita, the singer behind the Rockman DASH theme songs, has desperately been campaigning along with 100,000 Strong to get Capcom to release the caned Mega Man Legends 3. Morishita is set to release the Mega Man Legends soundtrack and she claims that if her new soundtrack makes over 20,000 sales, Capcom Japan is likely to release the Mega Man Legends 3 prototype version on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
“To support our community, she is going to release her Mega Man Legends soundtrack reprisals at the end of May or early July, tentatively. During the meeting yesterday, she said that if her new soundtrack makes over 20,000 sales, Capcom Japan is likely to release the Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version on the e-shop. Although there are no guarantees, keep in mind she is a well-networked individual.”

The next edition of Japanese gaming publication Famitsu will contain an “unexpected” Capcom related surprise. The magazine didn’t provide any hints regarding what the announcement might be, but there’s a ton of things that Capcom fans are clambering for. What would you personally like to see Capcom announce?
Namco Bandai has officially opened the Sega, Capcom and Namco’s all-star venture Project X Zone website. There isn’t too much interactive content on the site, but you can access the “Entry Title” section for voice samples of your favorite Capcom, Sega and Namco characters. The game features an impressive roster which you can check out here.
A desperate Capcom fan has apparently done the unspeakable and has pretended to be one of the personnel from the Make A Wish Foundation to find out the progress on the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 localization status. The Capcom fan managed to find Capcom’s Senior Vice President of strategic planning and business Christian Svennson phone number and contacted him directly to find out the status of the game. Svennson was apparently rude to the person in question, and obviously refused to give him an answer, saying only that there’s no new information regarding a Western release.
Not content with completely messing up the initial run of Resident Evil Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS in North America, and even managing to misspell their own name, Capcom has published the above advertisment for Resident Evil 6 on GameFAQ’s.
