As I said earlier in the week, I switched my usual Wednesday for a Friday this week. This was something Daan and I worked out many weeks in advance, but I had no idea there would be a Nintendo Direct this same day! Glad it was early and I was around to cover!

Daan is taking on the site for his usual 6 to 10 PM East Coast block, just on a Friday! This isn't a usual thing, as Daan will be back to his Wednesday schedule next week. I'll get back to posting on the site as soon as I arrive home, which will be sometime later tonight.

Thanks to all for the great support today and thanks to Daan for his help, as always!

The following comes from Capcom USA’s Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson.

“It took more than two years (on and off) to do the deal even before any development started. The first conversations I had with folks at Disney about this were had at Dice in 2010 (Feb 2010).

Initial proposals for greenlight started preparation in mid-late 2011 (when it looked like we would be able to reach a deal with Disney). Active development started a bit later after greenlight was achieved. In short, it was a lengthy process.”

A portion of a Siliconera review...

Overall, Resident Evil: Revelations, while not completely atoning for the sins of Resident Evil 6, should hopefully remind players what a back-to-basics, focused Resident Evil experience is all about, and if the response is sufficient, hopefully Capcom will be reminded as well.

We're hearing that the official Sonic Facebook page leaked the news on Sonic Lost World this morning. Here's two people claiming that the info hit early, alongside more details.

The sonic Facebook page just leaked a picture of the lost world, six “guardians”,
And the announcement that sega and Nintendo are forming an “exclusive partnership” for three games.

The Facebook page accidentally leaked 3 pictures of the game with important information:
- Full details will be announced on the 29th.
- the lost world (not worlds) is a partially unfinished planet seemingly made of hexagon tiles.
- the game has six “guardians” who may be friends or foes- only their outlines are shown but they look very cartoony, like characters from Rayman.
- most importantly, Sega and Nintendo have entered an exclusive partnership for Sonic’s next three games.
These photos should still be accessible, they’re just not in posts but rather in the picture gallery itself.
At this point I consider the Somic Excursion rumor to have no credibility.

Thanks to Phil for the heads up!

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something like this...
