Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Rich Oosouji, the third game in the Chibi-Robo franchise will take us back to the home setting. In fact, our miniscule automaton will be cleaning the house of Jenny, the frog-obsessed little girl from the original Chibi-Robo. She has a family of her own now, but she still seems averse to keeping things just a little tidy. All the more work for our tiny hero, I guess.

Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Rich Oosouji is set to clean Japan on the 27th of this month. Currently, there are no plans to bring the game to North America just yet.

Infinite Space is an RPG for the DS that is supposedly based on the novel Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke. The big draw to the game is the ability to customize your own spaceship and take part in epic, real-time space battles. The Nude Maker and Platinum Games project came out just last month in Japan, but now we’re finally starting to see some real progress in the eventual North American release.

A series of anime shorts from Production I.G. were commissioned to promote Infinte Space; the first of which, as you have seen, has been translated and dubbed.

Infinte Space doesn’t have a solid date just yet, but it is slated for a spring release next year.

This latest issue of Nintendo Power is just chock-full of juicy information: No More Heroes 2 character announcements, Wii Sports Resort total game count and now some news on what we can expect in the next Zelda game.

“I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different,” says series creator, Shigeru Miyamoto. How different they are willing to go with the series is all up for interpretation — something I expect we’ll see a lot of in the long span of time before we hear any significant details on the next Zelda.

When it comes to Smash Bros., I’m a Marth man; however, I do know that there are a lot of people out there who miss Roy when he was replaced with Ike. Well, thanks to goodoldganon, hardcore Roy fans can enjoy playing as the Marquess of Pherae with a little bit of hacking and texture swapping.

Currently, Roy takes the place as one of Marth’s costumes, but he is not just a palette swap. Roy plays just like he did in Melee, but he also has a couple of tweaks that will appeal to technical Brawl fighters.

If you’re interested in adding Roy, or you are curious as to what changes he brings, you can head on over here to find out what you need to do.

Movie rights to the classic arcade game, Asteroids, was recently picked up by Universal Pictures. The studio already named the script writer and producer for the movie. Matthew Lopez, whose recent works include Race to Witch Mountain and Bedtime Stories, will handle the script, while G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’s producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, will be working as producer on the movie.

I know Hollywood is grasping at properties, but this is getting pretty ridiculous. Are we actually getting closer to making this a reality?

Famitsu has a couple of scans of the new Rune Factory game heading to the DS. It turns out that instead of reuniting with Raguna and the gang, we will be introduced to a brand new cast of characters. Players will fill in the role of the blonde-haired protagonist, Maisu, who, with the aid of an item, has the ability to transform into various monsters from the game. There is a girl very reminiscent of Mist from the first game, and a reserved, hostile-looking girl who appear to be two of your potential love interests.

Rune Factory 3 is still in development, but is nearing completion soon. Japan will be able to go back to the farm before the end of this year, and you can expect to see the game in the US shortly after.
