If you were all set to get your hands on a copy of Konami’s latest title, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in a couple of days and you live in Australia, well you’re out of luck! The eagerly awaited hack-and-slash title has been pushed back until February 26th down under, despite the majority of the world still receiving the game by the originally planned 21st. Today the Australian distributor Mindscape spoke up about the delay and released the following statement:

“Unfortunately due to a last minute shipping delay, the Australian and New Zealand release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be delayed by a few days to the 26th of February,” read the statement. “As gamers ourselves, we’re committed to ensuring that Australian release dates align with global launches and we’re working hard to ensure that this problem doesn’t occur in the future.”

Bad news then for fans, but take heart as the delay is only five days later than the official release. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will now be slicing it’s way into Australian stores on February the 26th for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

PS4 Price At About £300 says The Times

playstation-logo-black-01British Newspaper The Times has reported that the soon to be announced Playstation 4 will be priced at “about” £300. A quick calculation with a  currency converter would then place the PS4 price at almost $450 Australian dollars. While currency conversions are not entirely accurate at pinning price points for consoles, $450 to $500 seems like a reasonable price point for the PS4 to compete against Nintendo’s Wii U and is drastically cheaper than the $999 dollars that the PS3 was launched at.

The Times is also reporting that we may have to wait longer than expected to find out the true price, as Sony intends on waiting for Microsoft to announce the cost of the next gen Xbox before making any announcements themselves.

Sony’s press conference is scheduled to take place in New York on the 20th at 18:00 EST (10AM on the 21st, Melbourne time). What would you be willing to pay for the newest Playstation? Let us know in the comments below.

Fans of the lauded Dragon Quest series have long been clamoring for more to sink their teeth into.  While many were taken aback when it was revealed that Dragon Quest X would not only be an online game, but require a subscription as well, that didn’t stop the rest of their fans from hoping.

News was revealed today via the Japanese Dragon Quest site that not only would the game see a launch on March 30 in Japan, but that it would also launch along side a new Wii U console bundle.

This release date will apply to both the physical and downloadable versions of the game (all 16 GB of it), and people who already own the title on Wii can purchase the download for half off.  All copies of the game will also come with 20 days free to play online as well.

Those interested in what’s contained within the hardware bundle will be happy to hear that it comes with the following:

  • Wii U Deluxe console
  • Dragon Quest X
  • Wii U Pro Controller
  • Pre-paid card to use in-game for five items that grant you double experience and gold for 30 minutes a piece.

Western fans will be sad to hear that no release date has yet been announced outside of the Japanese version of the game.

Senran-Kagura-Shinovi-Versus-hikage

So far most of what we have seen of Marvelous AQL’s Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus has involved how the girls’ clothing can be destroyed, the new girls added to the game and plenty of screenshots and only a little bit of information about how the actual combat system will play out.

Well today a seven minute gameplay video, which can be seen below, has been released which shows off how the characters will battle in the game. It appears combat will work similar to a Dynasty Warrior title that features plenty of colorful visuals, over the top attacks and ripped clothing. Currently Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus has not been announced for the West, but gamers can begin importing the title once it is released in Japan next week on February 28th.

Ever since it was announced, Square Enix’s Final Fantasy X HD has been on the forefront of Vita owners’ minds and to a lesser extent, PS3 owners’. However since it was announced, Square Enix hasn’t had much to say about the title other than the fact that it is indeed still being developed.

Well last night during Sony’s PS Vita event in Japan Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto appeared to show off a demo of what the HD version of Final Fantasy X will look like on the Vita. Unfortunately despite showing off the game, the company did not announce a release date. Anyways, check out some video-ripped screens and the presentation itself below.

After Sony announced that they would be dropping the price of the PlayStation Vita to 19,980 Yen in japan the company followed up with news that may sway a few people who, for some reason or another, didn’t want to buy the basic black Vita, the white Vita that featured Hatsune Miku in Japan or the blue and red versions previously released in the country.

You see, last night Sony announced the above “Ice Silver” Vita which features a gray and silver paint job. It is worth noting that the Ice Silver Vita will only be available in the Wi-Fi only model and will be available in Japan on February 28th. It is currently unknown whether or not this Vita color will be released overseas, but it is worth noting that Phantasy Star Online 2 will be packaged together with the Ice Silver Vita when it is released in Japan.
