- New TV show Heavy Metal Thunder and accompanying game to spur more cross-medial polymorphism from Square Enix
Watch Impress and Eurogamer today report of news that Square Enix has prepped a TV show that will be airing in Japan on Tokyo TV from April: Heavy Metal Thunder, starring Yoko Kumada as the host and the Sex MachineGuns on the opening theme, seems ambiguous in terms of content at this point, although apparently Squenix intends to announce a game based on the show's image, as well.

- Second Fullmetal Alchemist title heading for American release
With the recent announcement of a Teen ESRB rating, Square Enix's Fullmetal Alchemist: Curse of the Crimson Elixir has been portended for an American release. Based on the anim? and recent action-RPG, Curse of the Red Elixir has reportedly seen improved AI and a more streamlined graphics engine; hopefully a substantial upgrade from its rather flawed predecessor.

So now, while we all wait for the secret bound in the future pages of Famitsu to unveil itself in the coming week, we wonder: "how long until pre-announcement parties," and "will those parties serve cocktails?" With the current state of events, Final Fantasy XIII wouldn't be a surprising choice, nor can one disavow the potential rear of ugly polymorphism's head.
