Capcom has announced that Puzzle Quest developer Infinite Interactive is hard at work on a new game called Neopets Puzzle Adventure for Wii, PC and DS.
Surprise surprise, it's a bit like Puzzle Quest! In this case, you create a virtual pet (Neopet) by customising one of 12 base units and then go out into an RPG-style world fighting enemies in games of Othello (also known as Reversi).
Othello is the game where you have to try and take control of an 10x10 grid by placing counters to annex those of your opponent.
As with Puzzle Quest, the basic puzzle gameplay of Othello is complemented by the act of collecting gems to build up a stock of spells, which can be deployed to win points and reduce the other player's control of the board.
As some of you may already know, "Neopets" is licensed from the popular web-based game/community run by Nickelodeon, where people create and nurture virtual pets and swap recipes and do all sorts via a website.
To tie in with the existing property, Neopets Puzzle Adventure will generate codes at certain points that players can redeem on the Neopets.com website to gain bonuses there.
The multi-platform game will offer around 150 quests in single-player, with mini-games and altered versions of the core Othello game used to upgrade your character's stock of spells.
There will also be multiplayer, and Capcom told Eurogamer at its Las Vegas Captivate 08 event last week that demos are likely, and Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PSP versions haven't been ruled out at this stage.
Check out our Neopets Puzzle Adventure hands-on preview for much more information on how the game works and what we made of it, and check out our screenshot gallery for the first grabs.

Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has reiterated that there are no plans to produce a Wii version of the upcoming arcade and console beat-'em-up.
Speaking at Captivate 08 in Las Vegas last week, Ono brought the subject up himself during his presentation. "The fact of the matter is we haven't planned for a Wii version yet," he said.
In fact, when rumours broke of a Wii version, Ono had to go to Nintendo and apologise about the rumour, he added.
Street Fighter IV is due out in Japanese arcades this summer, and we got to play a near-complete version at Captivate. You can check out our thoughts and Ono's comments on a range of subjects in our Street Fighter IV hands-on preview.
The game is also due out on PS3, 360 and PC.

Videogames publisher Lexicon Entertainment and talented Chinese games developer TF-H Co Ltd have announced a two-year agreement which will see the two companies bring a number of new IP to Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 for a worldwide audience.
First on the horizon as part of this exciting partnership is the firms wholly owned IP 'Matchman' which will be released on Nintendo DS in Q1 2009 followed by Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 in Q2 and 3 respectively.
Christopher Allcroft, President of Publishing for Lexicon Entertainment UK Ltd said "This partnership with TF-H Co Ltd is another piece of our jigsaw which will see new IP on cross platforms being released all over the world and will also expand our collaboration within Asian territory. TF-H Co Ltd are a dedicated and extremely talented bunch of developers and we look forward to developing and publishing this exciting IP for the next 2 years"
Steven Shao of TF-H Co Ltd quoted "We are extremely excited about this partnership with Lexicon Entertainment and the development of 'Matchman' on cross platforms. 'Matchman' has been carefully chosen to suit the correct audience and working with Lexicon Entertainment will enable users around the world to enjoy it as much as we do!"
'Matchman' is a side scrolling shooter involving extraordinary graphics, manipulation and creative features. The graphic style is consisted by black and white line drawing, and the script is based on a combination of some classical fairytales such as Grimm's and Anderson's fairytales. In the script, there are many humorous factors. The black and white style will bring you the feel of an old school comic, which will attract audiences from different age groups.
One of the special features is the unconventional means to knock through some of scenario. In this case, you're not going to kill bosses directly. For instance, conventionally you kill monsters by using weapons; but to kill an evil bird named "Baba Yaga", you need to throw apples and feed it until its stomach bursts! Another feature is about manipulation. Within the game is a mode called Commuter, specially designed for people on public transport commuting to the office. These people can use a single hand to operate the console and the other to enjoy a soothing cuppa!

Square Enix saw its Tokyo stock rating upgraded by Cosmo Securities, which lifted the Japanese based videogame maker to "neutral plus" from the "neutral" rating it has maintained since November 26.
The shares rose JPY 60 (USD 0.57), or 1.9 per cent, to close at JPY 3210 (USD 30.7) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and much of the improvement is being put down to the performance of the company's Dragon Quest IX DS title, which sold 5 million units and will produce JPY 20 billion (USD 190 million) in revenue, Cosmo Securities analyst Takashi Oka reported.
"It's not surprising Dragon Quest IX for the portable console sold twice as many units as a version for stationary game machines,'' Oka wrote, according to Bloomberg.
The Cosmo Securities report also claimed that the company's net income for the year ending in March 2009 will almost double to JPY 17.4 billion (USD 166.9 million), 45 per cent higher than the company's target of JPY 12 billion (USD 115.1 million).
This comes after the company recently reported a profit of JPY 9.2 billion (USD 88.5 million) for fiscal year 2007, a 20.9 per cent fall from the previous year.

Atlus U.S.A., Inc., triumphantly friendless, today announced Dokapon Kingdom, an addictive new multiplayer RPG for Wii and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.

Contend with up to three friends as you navigate playfields littered with challenges, monsters to defeat, and rare secrets to unlock. Warning: Relationship counseling not included.
Dokapon Kingdom is currently scheduled for release on October 14th, 2008.

Several images and some new details on Capcom's Spyborgs has been leaked online, confirming that it's a Wii title being created by Bionic Games.
The game is a sci-fi brawler crossed with an episode of Ren and Stimpy, according to the blokes at Joystiq.
It's the first title from startup Bionic Games and is helmed by Mike Stout, lead multiplayer design for Resistance: Fall of Man.
The screens look... interesting. We expect some more information on the title later on today, which'll hopefully clear things up in our head a bit.

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has issued new rulings on a slew of still unconfirmed titles, giving us a look at what's next for the Wii's Virtual Console. The list is very SNK heavy, as Art of Fighting 2, Fatal Fury 2, Samurai Shodown and Burning Fight all are planned as Wii releases. That's a lot of 2D fighting.
Dig Dug, presumably the NES version, is also coming to the Wii.

New update from Sepro on his rubicks cube game.I've been planning to release this as an extra option for DSCube ( download here). But since I'm behind my pc 8 hours a day for my studies, my motivation the start programming in the evening on this (or other projects) has been at an all time low. Therefore I'm releasing this test version, it's basically a test to see wich stuff I would need to change to display a pocket cube instead of a regular 3x3x3 cube. I'm still planning to combine the pocket version and the regular version 1 program, but I have no idea when this final release will be ready.

Still toying with what exactly to call the newly evolved weekly Virtual Console update now that it is becoming more and more WiiWare-centric, which involves finding some common ground between the two formats. Since I've run out of memory space on my Wii, I think the title I've chosen this week is rather apropos.
On the WiiWare front we've got the puzzle platforming goodness of Two Tribes' Toki Tori (1,000 points), which features more than 70 levels of gameplay involving gadgets and chickens. For those of you who'd rather solve your problems with guns, this week also sees the release of Ubisoft's scrolling shooter Protöthea (1,000 points), with 10 missions spanning four unique worlds.
For those of us who like our games older (like our women), the Virtual Console receives the NEOGEO classic Ninja Combat (900 points), which stars ninjas Joe and Hayabusa along with a group of unlocked ninja pals to help you fight your way through the evil forces of the Kage Ichizoku.
Ninja, spaceships, and chickens. It doesn't get any better than this.

To this day, it baffles us that LucasArts still hasn't re-released its library of adventure titles, if only so our non-gaming friends can believe us when we tell them the developer "doesn't just make Star Wars games." Speaking to Eurogamer, Fracture assistant producer Jeffrey Gullett said it's something they've looked into it but that there's an issue of size limitations for a DS version.
Said Gullet, "The cart size of the DS makes it impossible to put out ports of any of our old graphic adventures ... There's literally not enough room on those carts to put the games out." The standard DS cart supports up to 256MB (but with slower data transfer speeds), while the DS version of ScummVM is just over 7MB. We're not sure if Gullet meant the entire LucasArts adventure library wouldn't fit on a cart, but we're willing to bet you could at least get the first three Monkey Islands under 128MB.
