Update: A.N.N.E. may not hit its various console stretch goals with $89,662 raised and only 22 hours to go, but developer Gamesbymo has issued a Kickstarter update explaining that the platformer/shmup will still come to Wii U, Vita and Ouya regardless of whether or not it hits its mark.

Except, Joel Green's story is no fantasy.

Happy new Xbox day! It's only a matter of hours until we find out what the future of Bing and Netflix hold, and how they fit into Microsoft's soon-to-be revealed console. There might even be a video game!

Happy new hardware day! OK, maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves, but seeing as Sony's invited the world's press to its New York-based conference today we're pretty confident this is going to be a little more than the announcement of a new colour range for the Vita.
