Exclusively for Wii Ware, DK Games has announced Equilibrio for, obviously, the Nintendo Wii, first in Europe then later in the United States.

Set in a colorful world the challenge may look simple but Equilibrio tests not only your reflexes but the old gray matter and is in perfect synergy with the Wii™. The basic concept of getting your ball to the exit pod to finish the level is turned upside down, literally, as you use your Wii Remote™ or Wii Balance Board™ to rotate the play area varying degrees in either direction. Players carefully, skillfully move the spinning ball through corridors, along ledges to complete levels that are fraught with dangers. Move the ball too fast and it can shatter, leaving you to pick up the pieces and restart the level. Go too slow and the ‘equilibrio’ of the ball will not be powerful enough to spring to the desired spot!

While box art isn't exactly the most exciting news ever, it's always interesting to see how a much anticipated sequel will turn out especially considering there are a lot of hands-on impressions releasing over the internets today from Capcom's recent event.

Developer behind Haze as well as the Timesplitters series seems to have confirmed a rumor that was floating around that the development studio was closing shop. It looks like according to GamesIndustry.biz that the developer closed its doors to staff to hold a final meeting at a nearby hotel.

Projects like the supposedly announced Star Wars Battlefront III have been sent over to Renegade Squadron developer, Rebellion. While it is unknown what is to become of Timesplitters 4.

TimeSplitters 4 and the unnamed project were both still in development said Ellis, as were "other unannounced projects, which are in the process of being signed."

And days later, when more industry chatter questioned the future of the Nottingham studio, Ellis said that "we certainly won't be laying off any staff today. Or, for that matter, any time in 2008."

"If something happens in 2009 I'm sure we'll be prepared to comment - but from where I'm sitting, whatever happens is far more likely to be positive than negative," he added.
