The Last Story To Have a Limited Edition Version in North America
XSEED has localized many Japanese videogames to North America, with their latest project being The Last Story for the Nintendo Wii this July. This game was already brought to Europe back in February, and was available as a standalone copy of the game, as well as a limited edition. XSEED recently confirmed their plans to to bring a special edition to the states. The special edition box will include the game, a steel case, a soundtrack, and an artbook. If this doesn’t sound even just a bit awesome to you, I recommend seeing a doctor. Look forward to a preview on The Last Story from Nintendo Charged! Stay tuned for more info! -Greg Boe (admin)

Nintendo to Announce New Character In the Near Future?
In a recent interview with Games Blog, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked whether or not he wanted to create any game that he wasn’t yet able to. He replied:
“I usually come up with new ideas while I am working on other games. That said, there’s a strong possibility we will introduce some new characters to the scene soon.”
Seeing as Miyamoto said there was a strong possibility, it begs us to question whether or not Nintendo will hint at new series during their E3 2012 presentation (or round table) this June. Thought it’s still too soon to say for certain, so be sure to stay posted to Nintendo Charged in the weeks to come for any more info on this subject. So readers, what new series could Nintendo possibly come up with next? Voice your opinion in the comments. -Dallas B.

Black Cat Will Make an Appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man
I don’t know about you guys, but I have quite a few reasons to be really excited for the late June release of The Amazing Spider-Man for the Nintendo 3DS (and DS) and Wii. From it’s action packed, web-slinging gameplay, to the amazing graphics we’ve been shown so far, I can expect some solid hours put into this game. Another thing about the game that I love is the fact that Beenox is bringing back our favorite characters from the series, including Black Cat, the thief that always ends up intertwining in Spidey’s crime-fighting (and personal) life. Expect to hear more characters announced soon. What do you think? -Greg Boe (admin)

Nintendo Wii is Out-Selling Sony PS Vita in Europe
The Wii is a system that many believe, for the most part, has come and gone already. It has been around for about 6 years, and in that time has snuck into our hearts and set up a little house so that we will never forget it. Regardless of our memories, many of us find it hard to believe that it’s still making sales. However, not only is the Wii being bought, but in Europe, it’s even selling more units than other, more recent systems, like the PlayStation Vita. This may cause the Wii U launch to be moved back by quite a bit, perhaps, as a way to earn more revenue off of this technology before a new, amazing piece of technology comes forth to renew our lost love for Nintendo! What do you think? -Ryan Baxter
