A few more rumors this time dealing with the games (and some 3DS stuff):
1) Nintendo and Rare contacted each other on the possibility of working on a few games for the 3DS but nothing worthy came out of those meetings. Microsoft is willing to let Rare make a new Banjo and Viva Pinata game for the 3DS.
2) Metroid is going to be taken out of the Nintendo Trinity as part of a cooling process for the series as Nintendo feels the series is starting to lose its appeal and support with consumers. Star Fox is rumored to become part of the Trinity.
3) Earthbound if it were to ever return as a series would be on a handheld as Nintendo flat out denied any chance of a console game being ever made.
4) Ubisoft is preparing to flood the new Nintendo with a ton of ports similar to what they did with the Wii. The studio rumored to be doing this wasn't actually named but based on Ubisoft's 3DS schedule, it is most likely them.
5) Retro Studio denies any hope of them working on a Zelda game or Eternal Darkness 2 game but Nintendo has bigger plans for the Star Fox series with the next console.
6) Screenshots of some of the next gen games are supposedly very beautiful due to using more colors than they typical "realism" colors popular on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
