Hey, so we'll have more to say about Guitar Hero Live on this week's podcast (which will be up later today), but here's the new game's new guitar peripheral.

OK, let's start with the facts, get those out of the way, and then we can freak out and speculate a little bit. Technos Japan is the company that brought you such hot, hot hits as the Double Dragon franchise and the Kunio-kun franchise.

They also developed Karate Champ, so in some way they're directly...

All the cool materials, upgrades, weapons and technology featured in XCOM: Enemy Unknown's expansion - Enemy Within such as MELD and Mech Troopers will not be featured in XCOM 2.

They never progressed that much to even research such technology" he explained....

Nintendo's next console Metroid Prime game is not likely to see release until Nintendo launches its next-gen console, codenamed NX.

"I haven't been able to collect a team or the resources to do it." This means we'll probably be waiting...
Square Enix's may not be the only classic entry in the series to get a major overhaul for current-gen consoles, as series director Tetsuya Nomura has expressed interest in remaking both Final Fantasy V and VI.
