Tokyo Game Show has recently taken place; the major Japanese video game companies were showing their upcoming releases. If there was a Sailor Moon game coming out for Wii and produced by Namco/Bandai, it would have been on the Namco/Bandai list of upcoming games at the show. To our knowledge, it it is absent.
While we have reported whatever information we've been given about about a possible Wii game coming out, right now all we have to go on is what Yes Asia has said, which is not a lot of evidence for its existence. Although anything is possible, if this rumor were try we would have expected the game to at least be mentioned as an upcoming release by the purported publisher.
In other news, Geneon appears to be exiting the American anime scene. Last month they announced a deal whereby ADV would take over distrobution, now that deal has been cancelled. Geneon is letting go of most of its staff and is becoming an effective non-entity in the US anime market. While this is sad news for the anime industry, and while Geneon released the Sailor Moon films, Sailor Moon S, and Sailor Moon SS seasons on DVD several years back, we feel their absence is largely irrelevant to the potential for Sailor Moon's relerease in the US. Recent indications from Toei are that they're gung-ho on doing things themselves (and via broadband).
Regardless, this is a sad day for the US anime industry; one of its longtime stalwarts is departing. We wish Geneon's staff the best of luck in finding new positions.
Last, Sailor Moon Channel has updated with Act 6 of their animated "Prism Channel " Manga.
