    The Last Story's first concept art

    March 11, 2010 - 10:00pm

    The first details about Mistwalker's mysterious Wii RPG The Last Story have been released, in the form of a blog entry on Nintendo's Last Story site. The game takes place on Ruri Island, which, as home to a necessary harbor, has become a wealthy and important city. The affluent island is run by "Lord Arganon," a power-hungry ruler who is well-versed in magic. If we had to guess, we'd say he's going to be the villain.

    We still have yet to see real screens or footage of The Last Story, but the blog entry includes concept art of the island, which is quite lovely.

    February NPD: Xbox 360 and BioShock 2 sales heat up

    March 11, 2010 - 7:02pm

    Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg is thrilled with February's NPD numbers, and for good reason. The Xbox 360 took the top spot in home console sales last month, despite not being a Wii. According to the NPD, it's the first time this has happened since the Halo 3 launch in 2007.

    BioShock 2 seems to have had something to do with the boost, with the Xbox 360 version topping the software charts (and the PS3 version absent from the top ten). Other notable software milestones: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now the third best-selling game of all time, and Just Dance seems to have made a better pact with Satan than even Dante's Inferno did. See the software top ten after the break.

    -DS: 613K191K (45%)
    -360: 422K89K (27%)
    -Wii: 398K68K (-15%)
    -PS3: 360K83K (30%)
    -PSP: 133K33K (33%)
    -PS2: 102K60K (143%)

    Ghost Trick possesses Japan June 24, Capcom releases demo

    March 11, 2010 - 3:45pm

    Capcom has announced the Japanese release date for Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi's supernatural puzzle adventure game, Ghost Trick. Japan will be able to put Sissel's spirit into a bicycle on June 24. Capcom has yet to offer a date for North American or European releases beyond simply 2010, but if the game is in a complete state by June, that bodes well for localization sometime in the fall.

    However, if you can't wait that long, and you don't mind clicking through a bunch of Japanese text, you can play the TGS demo right now! Capcom posted a flash demo to the Ghost Trick site.
