I prefer the circle pads, as I think the 3DS pad is better than a stick, but no problem with changing, really.

The new controller looks great, even if it's more or less the same. Start-select position is now much better. And the controller has lots of connection ports, wonder why so many?

^Probably because it's so awesome? Just a thought.

Anyway, a source on Gaf said that the Star Fox + Metroid game may not be true because Retro was using it as a idea at the time to make a game for the hardcore crowd. I don't know the source but someone on the Wii U thread said so.

Hmmm, that Enclave game sort of came out of nowhere, looks interesting.. Will have to keep my eye on that one.

Not sure how I feel about a Metroid/Star Fox crossover. I feel like those two universes should be kept separate. Just because they both invlove space doesn't mean they mesh well together. Though if anyone could pull it off it would be Retro.

That Aliens game looks ok, but I'm far more interested in Killer Freaks.

I've heard a theory that Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero are set in the same universe. Supposedly the Arwings use G-Diffusion, a process that was created by the Galactic Federation (of Metroid lore) and was also utilized by F-Zero racing machines...
Still not in love with this crossover idea, though.

Dudes, these rumors never stop... now it seems that Namco Bandai is working on a Fooly Cooly game for Wii U and 3DS!

Developer quote:

Hello,

I am currently involved with an action/adventure game based on FLCL (Fooly Cooly) anime for the Wii U. A separate version of the game is being developed by a different team for the 3DS. We started development on both versions of the game in October.

The game will be published by Namco Bandai. Developing for the Wii U has been very painless, and the console's GPU and CPU have made development a very smooth process to create jaw dropping next gen graphics with unbelievable ease. The game's engine was designed to run cel shaded graphics flawlessly at 60 frames per second to imitate the art style and fluid animation of the show.

We have been actively working with most of the old cast of voice actors from the original Japanese show as well as the English dub to return for this game.

Yoji Enokido, who wrote the TV series, is writing a completely brand new story for this video game. The game will retain all of the great humor that the tv series and manga were known for. The Pillows reprise their role in providing the soundtrack for the game just like they did for the television series. You can expect both new and old songs.

The game works as an official sequel to the mini series. The video game takes place one year after the events of the tv show, and it will feature real anime cut scenes animated by Gainax.

Throughout the game, you can switch between Haruko Haruhara and Naota Nandaba. Haruko can smash enemies with her electric guitar and drive a vespa scooter through the city. Naota can fight off enemies with a baseball bat and rides a bicycle.

The game is suppose to remain secret, and I'm not suppose to tell anyone about this game. But I felt the need to open the can of worms since many FLCL (Fooly Cooly) fans here have been dieing for a true sequel to FLCL for many years.

This game will be your official sequel.

An announcement about the game should be made real soon with official screenshots and a trailer released.

Thank you.

It's a famous anime. Quite good actually, though it's only six episodes long.

These rumours are really getting out of hand. A FuriKuri sequel/game sounds too good... :(
Gainax animations + great soundtrack. Please be true and make it somehow to the west ~
Just today I was listening to some Pillows songs!

It's really funny and refernces a lot of other shows(they even referenced South Park once!). The last episode was epic too!

FLCL is legendary, anything by the team who brought us Neon Genesis Evangelion and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is awesome in my opinion.

It seems like spurgeonryan needs to spend a week going on a Gainax binge.

This has just remined me how I should watch FLCL again...

the anime GoldenBoy had 6 or 7 episodes and it was popular :)
