The official website of Steambot Chronicles 2 carries word that preliminary development work on the game has been shifted from the PS2 over to the PS3.

Addressing concerns of Wii availability this Holiday season, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime went on record to say that the supply of consoles in North American stores will be “unprecedented”.

He did not give any numbers, however, though he mentioned that prospective buyers will not face any trouble in getting the console in stores. Fils-Aime also talked about Wii Fit, saying there’s more to the game than it looks.

“What we showed for Wii fit was just small taste. The game is incredibly deep,” he said. “I can guarantee you Mr. Miyamoto will surprise and delight us. It will be fantastic, and all of the other capabilities for the Wii Balance Board will make this a must have title when we bring it into the marketplace in 2008.”

Unsurprisingly, he took a jab at Sony, saying that he recently held one of the new slim PSPs and was hard pressed to find any differences. He also mentioned that no recent PS3 titles he played impressed him.

Capcom has announced that We Love Golf! from Camelot will be released in North America sometime in 2008 as a Wii title.

The engine behind Crysis is being used to power an upcoming action-strategy MMO, as Seoul-based Reloaded Studios announced that they have licensed CryENGINE 2 from German developer Crytek.

“When we saw the stunning concept visuals and exciting game design ideas they shared with us we immediately knew that what they have planned will be a true next-generation MMORPG, and become the kind of game which will set the visual and game play standards against which future MMO?s will be judged,” said Crytek director Faruk Yerli in the announcement.

Though no information is known about the project, it is the first title for the studio, which was formed last month. It was founded with industry vets from Korean MMO-publisher Webzen along with the creators of MMORPG MU Online.

In an interview with Gamasutra, Japanese rhythm game developer iNiS co-founder Keiichi Yano revealed that the studio is working on a Xbox 360 title, though he would not offer any details.

“Yeah. We are currently working on a title,” he said. “I can’t really get into it more than, ‘Yes, we’re working on something!’”

The studio is popular for many rhythm games including Gitaroo Man and Elite Beat Agents. It is expected that the Xbox 360 title will also be a rhythm game.

A major management change at Nintendo is going to happen at the end of this year, as Reuters reports that senior VP of marketing George Harrison will leave the company at the end of December. His departure will follow the company’s relocation of sales and marketing staff from its Redmond offices to San Francisco and New York.

Harrison is a longtime employee at Nintendo, which he joined in 1992; he would not reveal his future plans to Reuters. Other major figures in the company are also rumored to depart Nintendo once the company makes its move, including marketing VP Perrin Kaplan and PR director Beth Llewelyn. However, these are yet to be confirmed.

Blitz Games has announced that it is using Kynapse, an AI middleware solution for an unannounced next-gen title currently in development. According to the announcement, the project is one of the largest ever undertaken by the company and is due for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 at a later date.

“We have invested many millions of pounds since 1999 in developing our own BlitzWare engine and tool chain which have been used successfully to publish 42 titles to date - every one on time and to budget” said Andrew Oliver, Blitz’ CTO. “However, on this occasion we needed a very quick start. Since the game is very AI intensive and with several of our other development teams in the middle of their own next-gen games, we decided to turn to a third-party solution on this occasion, to guarantee success to our client. We therefore took a detailed look at the architecture and tool-chain used by a number of AI middleware solutions and found that Kynapse provided the best fit with our own methods of production.”

Square Enix has officially announced the upcoming release of Infinite Undiscovery, an action-RPG for the Xbox 360. In the works at tri-Ace, the game draws players into real-time battles and a world where their choices will “spin untold discoveries.” Here’s the deal:

Players will be confronted with a variety of dramatic “situational battles” such as executing a daring escape while a gigantic ogre follows in hot pursuit, or waging battle amidst towering tidal waves. The dynamic environments change and respond in real-time to player commands, creating an entirely new experience never before seen in the genre.

A Seamless World and Real-time Action Combat, exploration, and other actions all take place within the same environment, seamlessly shifting between each game facet. Battles are carried out in real-time, bringing the vibrant fighting sequences of the STAR OCEAN series out of the traditional battle screen into a beautiful and lush environment.

No release date was mentioned.

Sorry I haven’t been able to update BDGamer for quite some time now. Hopefully things will change from today as updates start to come in regularly.

Thanks for sticking by.
