Ho ho ho.

Eleven-year old Khloe Leslie recently turned on her copy of Animal Crossing: Wild World to be greeted with the phrase "fucking cow" when talking to one of her villagers.

The Scottish girl has now been banned from playing the game after enquiring with her mother.

A Nintendo spokesperson quite rightly said that the game "is either a pirate copy" or that the phrase came from "user-inputted text" when pressed by the OUTRAGED media. It is very likely that the phrase came from a Wi-Fi visitor or the like, and it's even more likely that a constellation of stars closely resembling a penis will soon appear in the night sky.

Lara Croft is spreading her wings, as Kathryn Clements (a senior type over at Eidos) today confirmed that Tomb Raider Anniversary is Wii-bound.

"The Wii home video game system is a hugely innovative games console and we wanted to make a special version of Anniversary to appeal to Wii owners," she said.

Chunsoft confirmed the existence of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 today after Japanese magazine CoroCoro released new screenshots and details.

Taking a similar format to the original Mystery Dungeon games, the new titles will come in two different editions – Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Time Expedition and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Darkness Expedition. Chunsoft have decided to do away with the GBA version, instead choosing to release both titles on the DS.

The new Mystery Dungeons will include all of the new ‘mon introduced in Diamond and Pearl, and will bolster the starting Pokémon list from ten to sixteen.

More details are expected in the next issue of CoroCoro magazine.

Other notable FFXI news comes from a comment made by series director Koichi Ogawa. He pretty much confirmed that the game won’t be going to the PS3, as it would apparently take so long to port (between four and five years) that the project just wouldn’t be worth it.
