The Last Story arriving in February

Word is officially out from Nintendo that The Last Story will be released in Australia on 23 February 2012 for a Suggested Retail Price of $AU 99.95.

Last Story comes from Mistwalker Studios, a game development team lead and founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi, well known among gamers as the father of the Final Fantasy series.

Mistwalker originally started out as a Microsoft funded studio, and they would release Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey exclusively for the Xbox 360. However, they soon moved on to the Nintendo DS, which would serve home to their RPG projects, including some Blue Dragon sequels. The Last Story is the latest from Mistwalker, and their first major console RPG since Lost Odyssey, and also their very first Nintendo Wii title.

In The Last Story players will take control of Zael, and together with a group of mercenaries, explore Lazulis as Zael tries to achieve his goal of becoming a Knight.

The game is set to feature high levels of character customisation, and apart from a massive single player quest, it will include online multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Co-Op. It will allow up to five players to play together.

Look forward to our full review of the title as the release date draws near.

The King Of Hell Invades… Michigan?

To help promote the Playstation Vita launch title, Army Corps of Hell, the King himself has invaded Hell to reclaim what is rightfully his, the throne to the underground realm.  I guess he wants the world to fear his almighty power. One small problem… it isn’t the Hell he wants. No, he ends up in a town named Hell, but it is in the U.S. state of Michigan. He even decide to video his… invasion, I guess. Watch as he complains about how cold he is and even asking locals for directions to the right Hell (which is apparently somewhere south of the U.S. border).

Army Corps of Hell will be available on February 22, 2012 in North America and Europe, so you can begin your conquest of Hell on launch day.

The PlayStation Vita is launching in just under a month in North America and although fans won’t be getting their dose of Prinny when it is released, they won’t have to wait for very long as Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention is set to be released during the spring.

Those eager to see more of what Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention has to offer on the Vita will also be happy to know that NIS America has released a batch of screenshots large enough that Etna would be quite jealous if you get what I mean. Those more interested in what extra features will be included with the PS Vita version will be happy to hear that this release will include all DLC as well as a brand new scenario that has never before been released. Check out the screenshots below.

Welcome to this weeks installment of the somewhat regular series here on Capsule Computers, the Capsule Theatre of Vision. This week we bring to you a rather entertaining song by the now split group: The Adventures of. The group consisted of two members, Duane Zuala and Brandon Lackey, both of whom sing and rap about popular old school video games.

The song that I’ll be showing you is called Battletoads, and is based on the hit NES title by the same name. Most of you will probably recognise the tunes from the game played within the song. So make sure you check out the video, embedded below.

For the ultra nerd – ME3 DLC included with action figures

I’ll fully admit that the headline applies to me.  I already have my credit card out, just waiting for those plastic replicas to become available. However, they won’t be available to buy until April or May, well after the games March 6 launch date. However, once that day in late spring arrives, you’ll find me furiously clicking at BigBadToyStore.com and the Bioware Store, trying to get my mitts on a ME3 action figure.  After all, each figure contains in-game bonus content.

Bioware says: “They are slightly randomized during the registration and could include powerful new weapons and new characters. The pack could also include character boosters, weapon modifications, and weapon upgrades to make your multiplayer squad stronger.”

It appears this offer is exclusive to North America.  Sorry everybody.  PS3 gamers also get left out in the cold, as the DLC will only be available to PC and Xbox users.

Two newish development studios have recently sprung into view.  According to Microsoft’s job listings, they are looking for people to staff ‘LEAP’ and ‘Platform Next.’  Before you get all excited about ‘Platform Next,’ thinking its the Xbox 720 or whatever, be aware that its main purpose is to “pioneer experiences on Kinect.”  That said, there have been rumors that the next Xbox will have a Kinect built-in…

‘LEAP’ will also deal with Kinect, although its life goal is less defined.   Its described as an “incubation team,” by “the people that developed Kinect and profoundly changed the way people interact with technology.  We brainstorm exciting and ground-breaking experiences and quickly build working prototypes on top of developing tech. We transform our ideas into reality through shipping a first-to-market product.”

Which studio has you more excited, if at all?
