The recently announced Soul Sacrifice has made a lot of Vita owners excited at the prospects of another big game coming to the PSV. Now SCEA has registered Forsaken Souls, a name that obviously sounds similar to the new Vita game. Could this be Soul Sacrifice‘s localized name? Soul Sacrifice already sounds like it could work as a name in America, but keep in mind that Sony changed the name of Gravity Daze to Gravity Rush outside of Japan, so it is possible.

This name also sounds like it could work as game in the Souls series, and it could possibly be a sequel to Dark Souls. There could be a chance this game graces the Vita as well. Time will tell what this game will be, but if this is the localized version of Soul Sacrifice, expect to see it at E3.

Twitter user @supererogatory has spotted a job listing online for software that includes “Implementing interoperation between PS3 and the VITA”. Criterion are most known for their work on the Burnout franchise, and more recently the Need for Speed franchise. The full job listing reports definitely makes it seem like the game will be heading to the Vita.

The 3DS has just received an update to it’s firmware. No word on what it does right now, but you can download it in the system settings menu. I’ll update this post when we find out what it does. Because we got no announcement before hand, the update probably does more behind the scenes things such as security fixes, but there is a chance that something significant will come out of it.

Update: The only new feature a Wikipedia article points out is “System Update (In System Settings) can now be entered without a Parental Control Pin”. It is possible that some smaller new features will be discovered, but it seems to be a small update.

Before every E3 Gametrailer’s Bonus Round videos discuss the big three companies (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo) going into E3. The cast of the videos usually include at least Geoff Keighley, Michael Pachter, and Shane Satterfield with some other guests. Obviously, this year one of the major talking points for Sony included the PlayStation Vita. While discussing the handheld, Pachter teased us with a title that is expected to be shown at E3.

Theatrhythm’s box art features “Nintendo Network” logo

After Twitter user @joshua_x_ tweeted a picture of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy’s box art, some people pointed out the “Nintendo Network” logo in the corner of the box. Nintendo DS and Wii owners know that in the corner of boxes for games with online play there was a logo for “Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.” Unless Nintendo has simply changed the name of their online service, this sounds like it could be something new for upcoming online games. Mario Kart 7, a recently released 3DS game with online multiplayer, didn’t feature this logo, and it seems that Theatrhythm may be the first to do so.

So what is this mysterious logo for? Some are speculating that this will be a unified online service for both Wii U and 3DS, and that we’ll hear about this at Nintendo’s Japanese investor conference next Thursday (January 26). For now we can only guess, but the answer to this mystery may be revealed very soon!
