Konami have announced that Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 have reached one million units sold exclusively in Latin America and now to celebrate, the price of the game will drop as of April 10.
The price drop will apply for Xbox 360, PS3 as well as the PC versions of the game. With all the top leagues around the world heading into the final stretch, with top spot still up for grabs in most, not to mention the semi finals of the UEFA Champions league approaching, PES 2012 allows new fans the chance to pick up a controller and get in on the action.
The price will still naturally vary across retailers as well as of course across different countries.
We already know that Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition will be released in North America under its new title, Pokémon Conquest but what about the rest of the world? Well at least Australia will be getting the title because even though Nintendo hasn’t announced a PAL version of the game, a rating for Pokémon Conquest has appeared via the Australian Classification Board.
The North American release of Pokémon Conquest is on June 18th so one can expect the European and Australian release dates to follow shortly after, but for now this can be seen as a 95% true rumor. Seems like even SRPG versions of Pokémon games get worldwide releases, to bad other series don’t receive the same love.

Today is the day to get those shoes off your Sims and go barefoot. EA and TOMS have partnered up and today they want to bring awareness to the millions of kids around the world without shoes through One Day Without Shoes. TOMS was created to support children without shoes by supplying a pair for free, for every pair they sold. By hosting this event they hope to spread the word even farther about the need.
How do you participate? Load up The Sims FreePlay and kick off their shoes, but it only lasts for 24 hours, so be sure to act right away. Players that do have their Sims go barefoot will get a virtual pair of limited-edition TOMS shoes for their Sims for free. The Sims FreePlay is available free of charge for Android, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Check it out and spread the word.
While we’ve heard a bit about the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection so far, we haven’t actually seen much of what the game is going to look like when it is released with its HD upgrade as well as Trophy and Move support. Capcom hopes to alleviate that issue today as they have released a small amount of screenshots which can be seen below.
Those eager to play the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection when it is released better have some money on the PSN account because the title will only be released digitally and exclusively on the PlayStation 3.
Earlier today we learned that the PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will be able to not only play online using 3G, but it will also be able to crossplay with PlayStation 3 users. Now Capcom has chosen to give us a little trailer featuring all of the new characters that will be featured on the PlayStation Vita version of the game.
You can see the trailer below, but you most likely have seen a lot of these characters before on hacked PS3/360 versions of the title thanks to the fact that they already exist on disc as “on-disc DLC”… lovely. Either way check it out below and see how these characters will look on Sony’s relatively new handheld gaming device.
There has been plenty of DLC released for Final Fantasy XIII-2 since it was released however all of this DLC would cost you at least a few dollars depending on what you wanted. However Square Enix has released a new costume for Serah that will cost you absolutely nothing and that costume is called the Style and Steel outfit.
Also those who are fans of Assassins’ Creed will be happy to know that Ezio Auditore’s outfit for Noel is available today as well, though this one will cost you 240 MSP/$3 if you want to dress like an assassin. Those who enjoy battling in the Coliseum will be happy to know that PuPu and Gilgamesh have also entered the arena and can be fought against, though they will cost 160 MSP/$2 and 320 MSP/$4 respectively if you want to take them on.
