Team Siren, a division of Sony Japan's internal studio, is working on a Vita game called Gravity. You may not have heard about it earlier in the week amidst all the other big Sony news, and that's a damn shame.
Brilliant DS music game Rhythm Heaven is coming to the Wii, and you can see how toe-tappingly distracting it's going to be in this E3 trailer for the title. Looks so simple, but man, it's going to get its hooks in you.

Forget those complaints about the 3DS having no games! Games are coming—from game developers other than Nintendo, too. Whether you'll want to play them or not is another story, but they're coming.
