GTA on Wii possible for fall 2009, might use San Andreas engine
That’s a headline full of maybe and “might” up there, but since all we’re going on is a wisp of a shadow of a rumor this evening, that’s all it’s entitled to get. Anyway, Grand Theft Auto could be headed to the Wii in fall 2009, and it would use the San Andreas engine (no word on whether or not that means Hot Coffee or what). Says N4G.com (sprinkled with copious...

GoNintendo has his quote: “Uh-oh. Looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer than E3 to see...

Could this truly be the answer to our solutions, or is this just another falsity with the sudde...

Rumor: Capcom working on Mega Man 9
As we make that slow crawl to E3, these news-parched weeks continue to spawn exciting rumors. Today, one of the biggest pre-E3 rumors yet comes from the Capcom camp. According to a Destructoid source, Capcom is working on Mega Man 9. If true, players would control the iconic “Blue Bomber” for the first time in more than a decade.

Unfounded DS Rumor – Virtual Console and DSware announcement for E3

While I don’t believe that Nintendo will announce DS 2 or DS Lite++, I think we’ll see something new for the hottest handheld in the world. I think we’ll see Nintendo bust out a legalized version of the R4 or other such storage device. It’ll allow the DS to reap the same benefits the Wii has for downl...
