Mistwalker recently announced 2 special versions of their upcoming Wii RPG “The Last Story”.
for 25800 Yen you can get a Wii Console Bundle with the game and a white Classic Controller Pro. The nicest part of this bundle is easily the nice looking box with the game’s artwork.
Also announced is a Limited Edition for 6800 Yen that includes a Sountrack as well as an art book.
Both are Japan exclusive (at least at the moment) and will be released on January 27th 2011
Sony has finally officially announced the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition, and released the first picture of the upcoming replica Mask. This is shaping up to be a really nice looking edition, albeit expensive at $130
While both the Japan and Europe were blessed with a 25th Anniversary Edition of Super Mario All-Stars for Wii, North America was left sitting on our hands. No more, Nintendo has seen fit to bless us with the commemorative release as well.
Similar to the releases in Europe and Asia the collection includes a Wii game disc with an enhanced version of the SNES release of Super Mario All-Stars in a swanky red art-box. Not included is the history DVD but instead the North American releases will receive a 32-page booklet covering Mario’s history featuring interviews, behind-the-scenes details and concept art.
Also included, is a Soundtrack CD that contains music from the various installments of the Mario franchise as well as sound effects from the original Super Mario Bros. up through Super Mario Galaxy 2
The package will release on December 12th at a price of about $30
I can’t help but feel that Nintendo of America was too afraid that Americans wouldn’t be able to figure out that their Wii can’t play DVDs and opted to go with the Booklet instead. Either way for $30 it’s a must buy for Wii collectors and Mario fans.
Destructoid has a video up showcasing an unboxing of the upcoming European CE for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Somewhat different than the North American version of the CE but here’s hoping all will look as nice.
After yesterdays discovery that the official Killzone website let slip news of upcoming Collector’s and Limited Editions Roger Moe sent us a tip with some insider details…
The two editions are as follows
Killzone 3 Collector’s Edition:
Steelbook Packaging
“Blood and Thunder” DLC map pack
Killzone 3 Helghast Edition:
Authentic Replica of Helghast Helmet/mask and Stand
Exclusive DC Unlimited Helghast Figurine
Killzone Artbook
Killzone Collectors Edition Steelbook with PSN voucher that offers:
“Blood and Thunder” DLC Map Pack
Dynamic PS3 Theme
Killzone 3 Soundtrack
All pre-order items (TBC)
Infamous 2 Demo (TBC)
The Helghast Edition seems like the one to get, though the SteelBook packaging for the Collector’s Edition is sure to please some. No idea what these will actually look like or how much they’ll cost. As always we’ll post more details if we get them.
Destructoid recently posted up an unboxing video of the upcoming Fable III Limited Collector’s Edition, along with some photos of the contents.
So far it looks much better than the Fable II LCE. Also, is it just me, or are playing cards the new favorite pack-in for Collector’s Editions these days? Both Fallout New Vegas and Dead Rising 2 included decks as well.
Onisha sent us a tip that the official Killzone 3 website briefly had more than one edition listed for Killzone 3.
The images and descriptive text for all 3 versions of the game were identical, most likely placeholders. They’ve since disappeared however the “SELECT YOUR EDITION” title image still remains on the pre-order page. Killzone 3 is Scheduled for release on February 22nd, 2011.
Bioware recently announced the “Bioware Signature Edition” of their upcoming game Dragon Age II.
They’re boasting $20 worth of additional content including:
A Secret bonus playable character with missions
downloadable soundtrack
exclusive in-game digital armory with 4 weapons
Apostates’ courage
Seeker’s Bulwark
Adder of Antiva
Might of the Sten
This will be a “First Edition” release meaning anyone who pre-orders before the January 11th release date will automatically get this CE at the cost of the regular edition game. No word on whether Europe will be getting this.
A few days ago Amazon.com let slip a listing for Collector’s Edition of Dead Space 2. Someone on N4G downloaded the product image before Amazon pulled the listing. Thankfully this is one “rumor” that has been confirmed, as EA has recently announced the Collector’s Edition, at least they have for Europe.
The CE announced for Europe looks identical to the one pulled from the US Amazon store so it’s safe to assume they carry the same stuff. But while the CE will be available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 the content in the PS3 version is different.
All 3 versions will get the following:
Exclusive DLC code for in-game Unitology Suit and Force Gun
Dead Space 2 Original Soundtrack on CD with an hour of music compiled from the game’s score.
Concept art lithograph depicting Necromorph transformation by Visceral Games artist Brett Marting.
However The Xbox 360 and PC versions will also be getting this:
Replica of Isaac’s Plasma Cutter, modeled from the new design from Dead Space 2.
To make up for the lack of replica plasma cutter the PS3 version will be receiving
the same HD and move enabled re-release of Dead Space Extraction as the PS3 Limited Edition
a DLC code for an in-game Rivit Gun
Personally I’d rather have the replica plasma cutter but the PS3 people will be getting 2 games for the price of one.
Like most games with a boat-load of post-release content Grand Theft Auto IV is finally getting theirs. Amazon listed “The Complete Edition” for both Xbox 360 and PS3 due out on the 26th of this month. The Complete Edition is basically the main game along with with both “Episodes from Liberty City”: the Lost and Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony, all wrapped up in one package for $40.
This might not be so appealing to those who’ve already purchased the game and both episodes but for anyone who slept on GTAIV now is a good time to pick the whole thing up at a very good price.
