Nintendo have updated their official Japanese website for Mistwalker’s soon to be released RPG game : The Last Story with some very nice concept artwork.
Check it out and let us know what you think of it. Unfortunately unless you can read Japanese the rest of the website doesn’t make any sense but at least fans of Mistwalker Studios can see original concept artwork for the game and when that happens we all know that game isn’t too far away.

Hi all,
Just a post on how the community night is going to work TONIGHT.
We’ve had an amazing response to the night, we all have full friends lists, so am thinking about 200 odd people want to play. Whether they show up is a different story.
We are going to setup a private room, which can hold 18 people. With the 4 of us from Capsule Computers, we can have another 14 people. So those people who did send friends requests, look out for our names, when a spot is free, join the session.
After you have played a few/couple of games, can you leave the room so someone else can join in. We want to give everyone a chance to play and everyone a chance to win a prize. Sound fair?
Please don’t send us a message asking when you can join, I don’t want to spend half the night reading messages – I will read them, but not during the game and may not reply.
About the prizes – don’t ask about them all night please – they are an added extra. We are going to be picking people randomly at the end of the night and we will be in contact with you. We will also put a post on the website once we have the list.
So, see you all, or most of you after 8pm tonight!

A lot of people have been playing the Blur Beta, including myself. The game is quite fun; even with a level cap at level 10, only a few tracks, and only 3 game modes Blur is still a lot of fun.
We have 7 activation codes to give away, you will have to enter your code on this web site “http://www.blurgame.com/beta” and wait for the email which will include the download code and a 48 hour Xbox Live trial code.
So if you want an activation code so you can request a beta code, leave a comment with your gamertag and “I want an activation code”

A group of great warriors were selected to embark on a journey and travel across the sea on the back of a giant turtle to mysterious Cockatoo Island, in Sydney Australia where danger, adventure and MONSTERS awaited !!
Step inside the cave brave Warrior and experience the world of MONSTER HUNTER 3 TRI !!!
The fine people at Nintendo, hosted a fantastic event on behalf of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 TRI which will be available in Australia on 29th of April exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. All the brave warriors who entered the Monster Hunter cave got to experience first hand all the excitement and danger in the world of Monster Hunter 3 TRI.
Nintendo showcased all the great new features within the game with a fantastic 20 minute presentation. Once that was out of the way the mighty warriors were allowed to Hunt down the wild monsters themselves, testing out the great features & multiplayer that the game has to offer. Monster Hunter 3 TRI allows for unparalleled co–op gameplay, both online and offline. Hunting can be performed with up to three other players online or two players offline in Arena Mode. A great feature in Arena Mode is you’ll have the ability to save your character’s information to the Wii Remote directly so you’re always ready to play anywhere you go !!
MasterAbbott was able to get an exclusive preview of Monster Hunter 3 TRI in action with Nintendo’s Jamie Wilson providing a detailed rundown of all the new features within the game. Check out the video below:
Monster Hunter 3 TRI will be available on the 29th of April as a standalone game or in a bundle with the new Classic Controller PRO (which comes in black) Price for the standalone will be $79.99 AUD and $99.99 AUD for the bundle. The Classic Controller Pro’s more traditional control configuration will give gamers the ultimate monster hunting experience.
Capsule Computers would like to thank the great people at Nintendo for organizing such a fantastic event. The fine warriors were provided with an abundance of food and beverage and even a Monster Hunter swag bag full of goodies to take home.
In the end all the Warriors made it out of the cave alive and in one piece, leaving the mysterious Cockatoo Island on the back of the Giant turtle they all made it to the main land and back to their loving families who were eagerly awaiting their triumphant return 😉
TO VICTORY !!!!!

Official Press Release from Nintendo :
Australia, 10 March, 2010 –Nintendo confirms that the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service have seized game copiers (commonly referred to as R4 cards) and other counterfeit Nintendo products from an importer attempting to distribute the products in Australia. This is the first Australian customs seizure of game copiers of this type.
Video game piracy continues to be a serious problem in Australia. Nintendo attributes it to the availability of game copiers, the devices that circumvent the technical protection measures embedded in the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems that enable the play of illegal Nintendo software downloaded via the Internet. Game copiers infringe Nintendo’s trademarks and copyright and breach the “circumvention device” provisions of the
Nintendo has been working with the Australian enforcement authorities to curtail the spread of piracy for more than 10 years.
The seizure in Australia follows another recent significant Nintendo action. Earlier this month, Nintendo has taken successful action in the Federal Court in Australia against an importer and online seller of game copiers establishing that these actions are illegal and the consequences are real.
Nintendo is also taking action against distributors and sellers of game copiers and other infringing devices in many other countries around the world. In some countries, successful criminal proceedings have been brought against the manufacturers, suppliers and sellers of game copiers.
For further information regarding the recent Federal court civil action against the importer and online seller of game copiers please see our Media Release dated 22 February 2010 titled “Nintendo Successfully Takes Action Against R4 Cards” which can be found at: http://www.nintendo.com.au/index.php?action=news&nid=79
