Last update - Feb 23, 12:46 GMT (07:46 EST, 04:46 PST)

A North American release has finnally been announced for The Last Story, during today's Nintendo Direct online broadcast. This fantasy RPG, originally co-created by Hironobu Sakaguchi's Mistwalker studio for the Wii, will be published in North America by Xseed Games, during summer 2012. But first, of course, there's the European release happening this Friday, February 22. Now... who wants a wallpaper?




Another fresh North American release confirmation is also coming from Atlus, who will bring Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena this summer (on August 7?) for the PS3 and Xbox 360, as Persona 4 Arena. And while on this topic, the PlayStation Vita version of Persona 4 has just been dated in Japan, for June 14. It's titled Persona 4: The Golden... or should I say The Garden?




Next gaming topic: Metal Gear Solid 5... Kojima Productions is hiring for it... that's all.


Then we have some scandalous Infinite Stratos scandal currently going on between the light novels' author Izuru Yumizuru and publisher Media Factory...




And finally for this round-up, a movie based on Kotomi Aoki's manga "Kanojo wa Uso o Ai Shisugiteru" has been announced. Is it live-action? Is it anime? Who knows...

Update: Actually, CR seems to know: it says the movie will be live-action.
