[ Hobby Search ] Konami has filed a Japanese trademark for something called “Gradius Arc.” The ” Gradius ” part is easy enough to parse — Konami’s long-running series of horizontal shooters, last seen in the form of WiiWare’s Gradius ReBirth — but the “Arc” leads us to one particularly fanciful hypothesis. “Arc” happens to be the frontrunner among rumored names for the PlayStation Motion Controller, having been mentioned by several developers and even trademarked by Sony

The follow-up to Phantagram and Q Entertainment’s Ninety-Nine Nights for the Xbox 360, now in the hands of developer Feelplus, is coming to North America. Konami has loosely dated what it’s calling N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights for spring. That’s the same seasonal window for the Japanese release of the hack and slash Xbox 360 exclusive

Konami announced yesterday that Upper Deck had been forced to settle with the company after allegedly printing hundreds of thousands of faked Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in China and bringing them stateside. On any other day, this news would just be kind of funny, but it’s elevated by attorney for Upper Deck Richard Howell who said “At this point, Upper Deck doesn’t have a lot of Life Points.

Listen, Kojima knows that he disappointed a lot of people by delaying the release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in Japan, and believe us, he feels bad about it. In fact, we’d argue that he’s probably being just a bit too hard on himself

We always suspected we had nothing in common with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer Climax . We crave Coke, they prefer Pepsi. We swoon for Daniel Craig, they say George Lazenby is the best

[ Castlevania Dungeon ] According to a recent “T for Teen” classification by the ESRB , Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (better known as Dracula X: Rondo of Blood ) appears to be heading to the Wii. An OFLC rating of the game back in December already hinted at the possibility of the game arriving on the Wii’s Virtual Console (the Japanese version was released in April 2008), but the ESRB rating’s description seems to clinch it, citing the “early-90s rendering” of “reddish blood-like bursts.” Previously, unless you were a resident of Japan who owned a PC Engine CD in the early ’90s (or, more likely, a PSP owner anywhere in the world within the past two years ago), there wasn’t an easy way for you to get your hands on “Akumajō Dracula X Chi no Rondo” ( Rondo of Blood’s Japanese title).

It’s not a good sign when Xbox know-it-all Major Nelson admits in his This Week on Arcade post that “information on the game is light, so here is what I was able to find.” However, we can’t blame him — we’d never heard of KrissX , this week’s new XBLA game, before today either.
