The Last Story Localisation Killed by Sales?
As many fans of the RPG genre know, The Last Story is a Nintendo x Mistwalker production and many people had hoped for a localisation of this game for Europe and North America.
Sales for the first week were great for the game, and The Last Story was at #1 on the Japanese charts. But since then, they have dropped to 99,000 sold, down from the 118,953 that was sold during the first week. I’m hoping that the sales will pick up or at least stabilize at around this mark.
If you would like to see this game get localised, please sign the petition here!

Youtube Tuesday: Scott Pilgrim vs 60 Seconds
Even if you don’t have the attention span to watch the whole two hour Scott Pilgrim movie, I’d still recommend watching it. It’s still a neat way to recap the movie in a minute though!

Felicia Day’s Mystery Project Revealed!
If you have been paying attention to major web series or to the twitter feeds of Felicia Day or The Guild, you may know that she has revealed what the mystery project Felicia Day has been tweeting about for the past little while. It is definitely exciting for those who are into RPGs and also for those who know about her past works as the creator and writer for The Guild and also plays Codex/Cid, her work in Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog and in RED.

Marvel vs Capcom 3
One of the most anticipated 2D fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 3, hits store shelves today! It’s looking like its going to be another solid fighting game to add to the likes of Super Street Fighter 4 and Tekken 6. The addition of new characters into the game like Jill Valentine and Amaterasu make this game all the more attractive. It’s guaranteed a spot in my games library for a long while cause of the replay value that I can get out of it playing it with friends. I’m hoping that there will be more characters available in the future via DLC even though the current roster is pretty awesome as it is right now. I’ll be starting off playing this game with Amaterasu, Ryu and Jill Valentine once I get my hands on this game!

Cave Story 3D heading to the 3DS
Cave Story is heading to the 3DS with 3D upgrades making this a slightly different experience to a neat little game that originally started as a freeware game on the PC. I’m hoping that even with the 3D enhancements, Cave Story 3D will be able to keep its retro 2D charm and still be an awesome game. It will be available for the 3DS in the Summer of 2011

The Guild Series officially going for a fifth season
It’s a good day for fans of The Guild and Felicia Day. Microsoft and Sprint are sponsoring the show again like they have since season 2. Its been a while since Season 4 has ended but this is a great wa for communiies to join together in watching a great web series about awkward MMORPG players addicts. I’m hoping more web series like this one will crop up and celebrate and promote the gaming culture in the future.

RIP Guitar Hero
Activision has cancelled the popular Guitar Hero franchise and has dissolved its dev team. This is due to the declining sales in the music game genre. I think it is a sad day for anyone that enjoys Guitar Hero or Rock Band since it leaves Rock Band as the sole game that has the whole band experience. I’m hoping that they will revive this franchise in a few years and not churn out a new game every year due to market saturation.
