Konami has filed a Japanese trademark for something called “Gradius Arc.” The “Gradius” part is easy enough to parse — Konami’s long-running series of horizontal shooters, last seen in the form of WiiWare’s Gradius ReBirth — but the “Arc” leads us to one particularly fanciful hypothesis.

“Arc” happens to be the frontrunner among rumored names for the PlayStation Motion Controller, having been mentioned by several developers and even trademarked by Sony. Could this be the first evidence of a motion-controlled Gradius game?

However, we shouldn’t jump to (horrifying) conclusions based on the presence of a common word that happens to coincide with what a controller might be called. “Arc” could just be a subtitle for a Gradius game that you play with a controller like a sensible person.

This post may not offer any new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow details, but you can find new pictures and art in the gallery below. Those looking to do creature comparisons should check out the enemy renders — the warg from Symphony of the Night has certainly grown in both size and definition.

MGS: Peace Walker Japanese pre-order items are the best

[Famitsu]

Here’s your daily dose of Japan envy, as Famitsu reveals a set of pretty sweet pre-order bonuses for Kojima’s upcoming PSP game, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The first item is a jigsaw puzzle appropriately called “Love & Piece,” while the other pun-tastic item is the plastic “Peace Water” bottle — an aluminum water bottle/comically large key chain that kinda looks like a grenade. Some days you go through the rain and some days you want to drink from an appropriately-themed liquid transportation device, right?

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is set to debut in Japan on April 29, while US gamers will be forced to wait until May 25.

[Thanks, Fintan]
