- 'X Factor' finalist Rachel Crow signs Nickelodeon, Sony deals Rachel Crow, the spunky teen whose controversial ouster from “The X Factor” eclipsed the rest of the show’s inaugural season, has signed deals with Nickelodeon and Sony.No surprise that Nickelodeon has tapped the 14-year-old spitfire for an overall talent deal, which the network announced Wednesday. As part of the deal, Nickelodeon is developing a comedy series fronted by Crow.The teen has also landed a deal with Sony-owned Columbia Records through “X Factor” creator-judge Simon Cowell’s imprint Syco. Though it wasn’t clear whether Cowell would oversee her debut project, it’s likely, as the reality show magnate handpicked Crow for his team and mentored the young sensation. “I am incredibly happy for Rachel. This girl has it,” Cowell said in a statement. “We saw her potential at the first audition and Nickelodeon and Columbia are the right homes for her.” Before taping her Nickelodeon pilot, she is slated to appear in a recurring role on the network’s hit “Fred: The Show.” Crow joins semi-finalists Chris Rene, Brian "Astro" Bradley and Marcus Canty, who have all gotten deals. Melanie Amaro, the show's inaugural winner, snared the largest guaranteed prize in television history with a $5-million recording contract, also with the Sony-Cowell label Syco.RELATED: 'X Factor' champ Melanie Amaro signs to Epic Records 'X Factor' finalists Chris Rene, Marcus Canty, 'Astro' sign to Epic Despite record industry perils, Simon Cowell is ready to offer 'X Factor' winner $5-million record deal -- Gerrick D.

- Los Angeles Public Library launches teen reading series With young adult literature become something of a cultural juggernaut, it's about time the genre spawned a literary series in Los Angeles. Starting Thursday, the central branch of the Los Angeles Public Library will begin hosting a teen reading series on the fourth Thursday of each month. Thursday's kickoff will feature local authors Lauren Kate ("Fallen in Love"), Abby McDonald ("Getting Over Garrett Delaney"), Blake Nelson ("Dream School"), Carol Tanzman ("Dancergirl") and Kathy McCullough ("Don't Expect Magic"). Each author will give a five-minute reading followed by a panel discussion and question-and-answer session led by Cecil Castellucci, founder of the teen reading series and an L.A.-based young adult author. "It's about time we had a teen reading series here," said Castellucci, author of "First Day on Earth" and the upcoming "Year of the Beasts." "New York has had one for five years now. "I'm really passionate and have been for years, making sure that young adult gets the attention it deserves," added Castellucci, who runs a monthly young-adult reading club at Skylight Books in Los Feliz. "Because we're so spread out here, it's sort of difficult to get everybody together in one place. I've been longing for community." Castellucci has been a part of the New York Public Library teen reading series for several years. She was part of a panel of seven young adult authors the Central Library in downtown L.A. hosted in November for the young-adult librarians at its 72 branches. Eva Mitnick, acting manager of youth services for the Los Angeles Public Library, credits the teen reading series' creation to "the absolute awesomeness and energy of that panel discussion" and Castellucci's participation in a similar panel in New York. "It's Cecil who is the force of nature behind this," Mitnick said. The teen reading series will be held the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in Meeting Room A at the Los Angeles Public Library, 630 W. 5th St. www.lapl.org/ya/events/teenscape.php RELATED: Young adult lit comes of age 'The Disenchantments' book review 'Beneath a Meth Moon' book review -- Susan Carpenter Photo: Teen reading series founder Cecil Castellucci at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena; "Fallen in Love" book jacket.

- Solvang man accused of flying marijuana through Obamarsquo;s airspace A man who was arrested after marijuana was found on a small plane he had been piloting through a no-fly zone set up during President Obama’s visit to Southern California last Thursday has been identified as Brian J. Choppin, 43, of Solvang. Long Beach police said Wednesday that Choppin was booked on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of the drug, both felonies. He has been released on bail. Police said they are preparing a criminal case to submit to the Los Angeles County district attorney before the end of next week. Choppin could face up to three years in prison on the possession allegation and up to four years on the transportation count. Authorities said Choppin, who was flying a four-seat Cessna, violated restricted airspace during the president's visit. He was forced to land the single-engine plane at Long Beach Airport after being intercepted by two U.S. Air Force F-16 jet fighters. Law enforcement officials met the aircraft and found what they described as a large amount of marijuana on board. They declined to disclose the exact amount because of their ongoing criminal investigation. Federal officials determined that Choppin’s flight did not present a threat to the president and turned him over to Long Beach authorities. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, pilots who use an airplane to transport illegal drugs can face the permanent revocation of their licenses.

- California's newest state animal could be the 2,000-pound sea turtle The world’s largest sea turtle could earn a new distinction from the California Legislature: the title of official state marine reptile. A bill introduced Friday by Assemblyman Paul Fong (D-Cupertino) would add the endangered Pacific leatherback sea turtle to a growing list of official state animals and plants such as the California quail (the state bird) the gray whale (state marine mammal), plants like the California poppy (state flower) and even extinct megafauna like the saber-toothed cat (the state fossil). The leatherback turtle would claim an entry in the law books right below--and not to be confused with --its relative the desert tortoise, a landlubber that has held the title of state reptile since 1972. The symbolic measure, intended to raise awareness about the endangered species, comes as the federal government is setting aside 41,000 square miles of the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington as critical habitat for the sea turtles. Their numbers have dropped more than 95 % since the 1980s because of disease, the harvest of their eggs and entanglement in fishing gear. “Leatherback sea turtles are in danger of becoming extinct and we need stronger conservation efforts in order to protect these remarkable creatures,” Fong said last month in a news release announcing the legislation. The 2,000-pound, 8-foot-long sea turtles have been around for 100 million years and are known for swimming thousands miles across the Pacific each year from nesting beaches in Indonesia, Mexico and Costa Rica to the U.S. West Coast, where they feed on jellyfish. Leatherback turtles have been on the endangered species list since 1970. The bill would also declare Oct. 15 Western Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtle Conservation Day and encourage the state’s public schools to teach about the turtles.

- Drag queen re-creates entire Madonna Super Bowl halftime show The bootstrap brilliance alone dicates a look at the video that accompanies the above photo: a performance of Madonna's entire Super Bowl halftime show featuring not just a Material Girl impersonator, but also LMFAO, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. cameos. (And, yes, the erstwhile M.I.A. does flip the bird at the crowd at the proper time.) Cee Lo Green makes an appearance at the end. The extravaganza took place at Victoria Haus in Brasilia, Brazil, and features the drag queen Alexia Twister as Madonna, who over the course of 13-plus minutes -- and with the help of a few scrappy background dancers and a rear-projection screen casting images from the actual halftime show -- runs through all the vogue moves, cartwheels, booty bounces and miscellaneous ridiculousness within Madge's performance. Check it out for yourself here. (Hat tip: Dangerous Minds.)

- Defense of Marriage Act Unconstitutional, Federal Judge Rules in California Case A federal judge on Wednesday declared the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and ordered the federal government to extend health benefits to the same-sex spouse of a San Francisco lawyer employed by the federal courts. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White said the refusal of the Office of Personnel Management to enroll 9th Circuit attorney Karen Golinski's spouse in the federal agency's benefits program violated her constitutional right to equal protection under the law. White, who was named to the federal bench by President George W. Bush in 2002, said the dictates of the Defense of Marriage Act reflected a history of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and that there was no rational justification for denying benefits to gay and lesbian spouses of federal employees. White's ruling in the Golinski case was the first since U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. announced a year ago that the Obama administration considered the Defense of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional and would no longer defend it against legal challenges like the one brought by Golinski in 2008. Justice Department lawyers have declined to defend the statute since then, but a conservative-led legal panel of the House of Representatives intervened to argue in White's court in December that the law prohibiting the provision of any federal benefits to same-sex spouses was valid. "The court finds that DOMA, as applied to Ms. Golinski, violates her right to equal protection of the law ... without substantial justification or rational basis," White wrote. The statute's provision denying same-sex spousal benefits has also been declared unconstitutional in a Massachusetts case. That ruling is on appeal before the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.

Celebrity Gossip
- Justin Timberlake's New Film Means New Hairstyle Keeping himself warm in a black peacoat and dark jeans, Justin Timberlake was spotted while filming for his latest movie in New York City on Wednesday (February 22). Also rocking a new hairdo, the singer-turned-actor grew out his coif and combed it to the side for the 1960's era film "Inside Llewyn Davis". The movie - which is set to hit theaters in 2013 - follows a singer-songwriter navigating through New York's folk music scene. Also among the cast members, the 31-year-old is joined by Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund, Oscar Isaac and John Goodman. Timberlake's previous film, "In Time," was released October of 2011 and brought in over $12 million during opening weekend.
- Katy Perry Sings on for Raising Hope Guest Role We know she is a great singer, but can Katy Perry be just as impressive in front of the camera? The "California Girl" singer is taking her chances at an acting role, as she guest stars on an upcoming episode of the FOX comedy "Raising Hope." According to Entertainment Weekly, the pop icon will be starring in the March 6th episode titled "Single White Female" while playing the role of Rikki, a prison attendant who claims to be an old friend of Sabrina’s (Shannon Woodward). In the episode, Woodward is arrested after participating in an Occupy Natesville protest and is sentenced to two weeks in the slammer while Rikki (Perry) is sure to make her stay a memorable one. Perry and Woodward are also friends off-screen which gave creator Greg Garcia a good reason to give her a shot. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Garcia said, “Shannon told me that her friend Katy was interested in doing an episode and I thought, why not? Let’s do your friend Katy a favor. Then she came in and did a terrific job. And now people are telling me that Katy is also a singer. I sincerely hope that her appearance on the show helps her get her singing career off the ground.” What did the California beauty think of her new gig? “A couple of weeks ago, I was home, just toasting up a frozen chicken fillet when Shannon called me up and asked if I wanted to do something ‘fun’ for a change and try out a guest role on her TV show. I thought, sure, I have nothing else to do, and I like chillin’ with my best friend. Greg was nice, but I hope he’s not secretly sabotaging my potential future career by type-casting me in the role of just a looker, so that I would never be able to play anything more challenging,” Katy told. Perry also tweeted an on-set picture while writing, "@shannonwoodward, I hope I don't get type-cast. twitpic.com/8ncq1s."

- Rainn Wilson Apologizes for Date-Rape Joke His witty personality has earned him a spot as one of the most beloved comics on television, but a recent off-color joke has landed Rainn Wilson in the hot seat. On Monday, the “Office” star tweeted, “If I were ever date-raped, I would want it to be to ‘Whole Lotta Love’ by Led Zeppelin.” After receiving flack for his inappropriate tweet, Wilson immediately went back to his Twitter account to apologize. “Apparently my poorly conceived date-rape tweet upset a lot of folks,” the Dwight Schrute star wrote after removing the initial tweet. “Not a good topic to joke about. Sorry and won’t do that again.”
- Justin Bieber Announces Plans for Second Book He’s a never-ending source of new material, and Justin Bieber is gearing up for the September launch of his new book “Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started.” The “One Less Lonely Girl” singer’s upcoming book chronicles his most recent tour and the making of the “Never Say Never” film. And if “Just Getting Started” is anything like his first book “First Step 2 Forever: My Story” sales-wise (over one million sold), Justin will have another goldmine on his hands. As for Bieber’s upcoming album Believe, Justin’s vocal coach Kuk Harrell told press, "The only conversation we've had about Justin's album that we're about to do is it's really important that it's the proper transition, because we've seen him [with] 'Baby,' now we're watching him grow up. And we can't just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There's a record in between."

It is being reported that the “Love on Top” singer made arrangements for Marco Borges to squat at their digs while she works to drop the 40lbs she gained during pregnancy. A source told Star magazine, “Beyonce and Marco are up at 5 a.m. for a two-hour workout, and they do it again at 5 p.m. They do a mix of cardio, Pilates, plyometrics, yoga and, of course, dance.” In addition, Beyonce is also watching what she eats and is “living on protein shakes, egg-white omelets, pineapple chunks and lots of ice-cold water.”
- Taylor Swift: Behind the Scenes of Safe and Sound Her song for the upcoming movie “Hunger Games” has already struck a chord for so many and a behind-the-scenes video of the making of Taylor Swift's “Safe & Sound” has just been released. When asked by MTV how writing a song for the movie came about, Swift said that after she received a call directly from the studio she rushed to read all the books. "I immediately read the book in, like, two days and fell in love with it," she said. "I fell in love with the characters, fell in love with the world that Suzanne Collins had created. I was just so immersed in it." Ms Swift also revealed, "When I got the call, I thought from what I'd heard about the movie, 'It's an action movie, right? We're probably going to be writing a song that's like, "We're going to win!" ' And then I read the book, and I thought, 'No, we're going to have to write sort of a death lullaby, it's so different from what I thought.' " Directed by Gary Ross and featuring Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Wes Bentley and Elizabeth Banks, “Hunger Games” hits US theaters on March 23rd.

- Guild Wars 2 beta sign-up page open for 48 hours ArenaNet invites gamers to submit an application for upcoming trial for new massively multiplayer online role-playing game; sign-up page closes Friday. Gamers interested in trying out ArenaNet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game Guild Wars 2 can apply to join the March-dated beta today, the developer has announced. Gamers can sign up for the beta now and cross their fingers about getting in. Eager gamers will need to act rather quickly if they wish to have a chance for a spot in the trial, as the beta sign-up page will close this Friday, February 24, at 1 p.m. EDT. Players will need to submit their PC hardware specifications to ArenaNet when applying for a spot in the beta and must sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) if granted access to the trial. ArenaNet will notify applicants via email if they have been chosen to participate in the beta. The sign-up page is currently experiencing technical trouble, but the developer said it is aware of the issues and is working to resolve them. The Guild Wars 2 beta will begin in March, with the full game expected to be released during 2012. The team at ArenaNet has a small group working on a console version of the game, but no announcements have been made concerning Guild Wars 2 arriving outside of the PC. Guild Wars 2 puts players into a persistent fantasy word that is driven by a range of dynamic events. When Guild Wars 2 launches later this year it will cost a fee up front but will not require a monthly paid subscription to continue playing. For more on Guild Wars 2, check out GameSpot's latest preview and coverage of developer discussions from Comic-Con 2011 and PAX 2011.

- PS Vita First Edition Bundles sell out Sony exec goes on the record about 3G adoption, proprietary memory cards, Naughty Dog's (lack of) Vita development, and the future of the PSP. The PlayStation Vita officially launches in North America, Europe, Latin America, Australasia, the Middle East, and Africa today. To mark the worldwide rollout of the handheld, Sony's senior vice president of PlayStation brand marketing Guy Longworth spoke with GameSpot to make a last-minute push for the system launch and answer questions about the First Edition Bundle, customer adoption of the system's 3G features, the decision to use proprietary memory cards for the Vita, and more. Gamers around the world can finally get hands-on with the Vita. GameSpot: What are you looking at to determine if the international launch is a success? Guy Longworth: PlayStation Vita is a long-term platform for us, so we're in this for the long term. We see it as a 5- to 10-year platform, and we'll look at the success on a by-market and then at a total international level in 12 and 18 and 24 months' time to see how we're doing. Obviously we want to get off to a good start, but we're in this for the long term, and we think that the value proposition that was put together is really going to resonate with core gamers and casual gamers over time. So it's a long-term play for us. GS: You took a novel tack to launching hardware, with the First Edition Bundle allowing some gamers to get their hands on the hardware a week early. How has the First Edition Bundle promotion gone so far? GL: It went great. We sold out our prelaunch bundles, so we're excited about that. We got a great response to it. GS: What are the strongest sellers out of the gate from the First Edition Bundle week? GL: The best-selling so far is Uncharted: Golden Abyss. It's been warmly received, and that really doesn't surprise us given the popularity of that franchise with our core consumers. There are a number of others that appear to be doing well: Little Deviants, Hot Shots Golf, Mod Nation Racers… It's very early days, but Uncharted is top of the charts so far. Nathan Drake's first portable outing is proving the most popular Vita game at launch. GS: You were quoted in a Eurogamer interview saying Naughty Dog would be making games for PS Vita, but their community manager has since publicly stated they had no plans for that. Can you straighten this out? GL: I think I was slightly misquoted. I was asked the question which studios will be making games for Vita, and my answer to that question was, "A lot of our studios." I might have said "all" by mistake--that's not impossible. But a large number of our studios are currently making Vita games is the fact of the matter. Naughty Dog currently aren't. So if I caused any confusion, I'm sorry about that. GS: What was the thinking behind going with proprietary memory cards and the pricing behind them? GL: There are many different types of memory out there, and what we have is a very high-end piece of flash memory that comes in an extraordinarily small size. What we're trying to do is make sure that the gamer has the best possible experience and the proprietary memory we think gives gamers the best possible experience because we can very much control that memory and make sure it's the highest possible quality. GS: How is the postlaunch software lineup shaping up? GL: We've got an incredible lineup of first- and third-party games this year. At launch we've got 26 titles, and there are currently over 100 titles in development worldwide, meaning we're going to have compelling content right throughout the year. You're going to have a whole range of titles coming out, including Ruin, Little Big Planet, and then from third parties, all the big brands are going to be there: Street Fighter, Assassin's Creed, BioShock, Mortal Kombat, and, of course, Call of Duty. Sony is selling pricey proprietary memory cards for the Vita. This 32GB card sells for $100. GS: Why aren't PS One Classics or PS2 titles from the PlayStation Network available at launch? GL: At the moment we're very much focused on getting our new first-party lineup and third-party lineup out there and available for consumers. So that's our focus right now. GS: Is the Vita competing with the iPhone, Android, and tablets? GL: What's happened is these new devices have introduced a whole bunch of people to gaming who haven't been in gaming before. That's good news. The pie is growing. In terms of the experiences that people get from an iPhone, an Android device, or a tablet, it's a relatively casual experience, a limited gaming experience for gamers. With PlayStation Vita, what you have is an incredibly immersive gaming experience given the functionality of the product, the franchises and games coming out. And it's really like having a home console in your pocket; it's like having a PlayStation 3 and taking it with you. The experience the PS Vita offers is night and day from the experiences you can get on a tablet, an Android phone, or an iPhone. GS: How has the 3G adoption been? GL: We wouldn't disclose that at this stage. We're in the very early stages of launch. But we're very encouraged by the reaction we've had with people looking at the 3G version. I think they realize by taking 3G, it means you can basically play wherever you want to, whenever you want to, and be connected the whole time. And not just through the games but also to your social media with the apps we have like Facebook and Twitter. Consumers are going to look at that and realize that it's something that makes a lot of sense to have now, and also for the future. I think it really future-proofs them in terms of some of the things that will come down the line in terms of gaming experiences that will be possible through 3G, to be able to play online with your friends. We think gamers are understanding that, but we'll wait and see what happens. GS: The PSP came out in 2005, so it's nearing seven years old, and its successor is launching. Should we expect it to be phased out soon, or do you see it as having a lot of life left in it? GL: Well, the PSP is still a great entry-level device for people who want a handheld gaming experience. PS Vita is a revolutionary game-changing experience. It's very different. I think for a period of time both will live comfortably next to each other in the same way PS3 and PS2 have lived comfortably together for a period of time. It's an entry point for people into the PlayStation handheld experience at a relatively modest entry price with a wide range of content, so we expect it to be around for a period of time.

- Brain Age coming to 3DS Nintendo reveals first franchise entry in over four years due out for portable beginning this summer in Japan; will focus on concentration and working memory skills. It has been more than four years since the last Brain Age game hit store shelves, but today, Nintendo revealed during a Nintendo Direct video presentation that a new title in the series is in development for the 3DS. The demonized Dr. Kawashima in the new Brain Age game for the 3DS. Company president Satoru Iwata announced today that three years ago, Japanese professor Dr. Kawashima--whose research was the basis for the original Brain Age games--came to the executive with a new method of brain training aimed at combating "information addiction." "Since we now rely so much on [various electronic devices], we might have stopped using our brains so much, or lost our restraint, our ability to control ourselves and be patient," Iwata said, explaining Dr. Kawashima's vision. While included in past Brain Age games, concentration and working memory skills will be stressed in the new game. According to Iwata, the design of the new Brain Age game is best suited for those seeking to keep their brains young, and for those who need help concentrating while studying. The new Brain Age title for the 3DS will also include Oni-Tore lessons, during which the onscreen face of Dr. Kawashima will morph into a demon (pictured above). Brain Age for the 3DS is due out this summer in Japan. Nintendo did not provide a release window outside of the island nation for the game.

- MotorStorm RC revs up PS3 and PS Vita March 6 Evolution Studios' "Pay once, get both" radio-controlled cross-platform racer arrives next month; demo to arrive same day as full version. MotorStorm RC is gassing up in preparation for a March 6 launch on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Sony announced today in a post on the PlayStation Blog. Presumably these RC cars' batteries will last longer than 10 minutes. Developed by series creator Evolution Studios, MotorStorm RC is a spin-off for the franchise, with the standard assortment of real-world vehicles replaced by remote-control counterparts. The game will deliver 16 different tracks set in four familiar environments, with many of the vehicle types from previous games making a return. MotorStorm RC will be a "Pay once, Get both" game, so players need to buy only one version to gain access to the game on both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. However, Sony has not yet announced pricing for the game. The different versions will be interoperable, but the PS3 version will also offer stereoscopic 3D, SimulView same-screen multiplayer support and a four-player split-screen mode. All progress made in one version of the game--lap times, unlockable content, and trophies--will be synchronized to the other, ensuring that players don't need to repeat tasks in both versions. Features like the Pitwall, which lets players track challenges and friends' activity, will also be accessible in both versions. This is not the first Sony racing franchise to spawn an RC-based spin-off. Twisted Metal was treated to its own diminutive iteration in 2001's Twisted Metal Small Brawl on the original PlayStation.

- Fez finished Polytron reveals multidimensional indie game submitted to Microsoft for certification before launch on Xbox Live. It has been a long road to release, but Polytron's multidimensional platformer Fez is now one step closer to launching on the Xbox 360. It's time for Microsoft to give a tip o' the hat to Fez. A tweet from Polytron reveals that Fez has been submitted to Microsoft for certification, one of the last steps required before the game can be released. When Fez was first announced in 2009, Polytron expected the title to be out in 2010. It missed that date and was later rescheduled for release in early 2012. Fez has been nominated for two Independent Game Festival awards, including Technical Excellence and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The 2012 Independent Games Festival takes place March 5-9 in San Francisco as part of the annual Game Developers Conference. A featured title in the documentary film Indie Game: The Movie, Fez is a platformer built entirely using Microsoft's XNA tools. It takes the form of a 2D platformer but adds a third dimension and the ability to rotate the gameworld around playable character Gomez. The game also has a unique retro 8-bit pixel art style, along with a suitably retro soundtrack.

- God of War dev helping with Last Guardian - Report Sony Santa Monica and Sony Worldwide Studios assisting Team Ico in crafting the long-in-development action game. The Last Guardian needs help, and it's getting it from God of War developer Sony Santa Monica, as well as Sony Worldwide Studios. The Last Guardian is getting help from across the globe. Speaking to Wired, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that Team Ico has enlisted outside studios to help develop the PlayStation 3-exclusive action game. "It's not just Santa Monica," he said. "We have great tech people in Worldwide Studios. We have a central tech group in the US and the UK so we are giving them whatever help they need. Technically, we have the best engineers in the US and Europe, so these teams are helping them, giving advice." Earlier this month, Yoshida provided a status update on The Last Guardian, saying development on the title has been "tough," but the vision for the game has not changed, and the title is making "slow progress." Formally announced at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo, The Last Guardian tells a boy-and-his-dog tale, where the dog is a giant and feathered, yet seemingly amiable, beast. Team Ico has not been forthcoming with specific plot details, but gameplay will involve the boy manipulating his companion to navigate a variety of environmental puzzles.

The Last Story will be told in North America this summer, Nintendo confirmed this morning. The Last Story lands on North American shores this year. As part of its Nintendo Direct video presentation, Nintendo of America executive Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that Xseed Games will publish the Wii role-playing game in North America. In June, Nintendo said that it had "no plans" to bring the game to North America. However, the game's westward expansion began in November, when Nintendo announced that The Last Story would arrive in Europe on February 24. [UPDATE] Xseed has confirmed that The Last Story will be out exclusively on the Wii this summer. The latest game from Mistwalker and longtime Final Fantasy developer Hironobu Sakaguchi, The Last Story puts players in the shoes of Zael and a band of fellow mercenaries on a search for treasure. Set on Lazulis Island, the story follows Zael as he tries to find an escape from his mercenary past to become a true knight.

- Mario Tennis Open served up on 3DS May 20 Nintendo brings arcade-style mascot sports game to latest portable with online play, touch-screen and gyroscopic support. The multitalented Mario is bringing another of his hobbies to 3DS owners, as Nintendo of America today announced that Mario Tennis Open will be released on May 20. Mario will hold court May 20. Nintendo confirmed the release date today as part of a Nintendo Direct presentation. The company's European arm separately announced a May 25 release for the game in that region. The latest arcade-style tennis game to feature the mascot will make use of its host hardware's various features, allowing players to use the touch screen for shot selection and the system's gyroscopic sensor to tilt the camera and look around the court. The game will also feature local wireless play for up to four players and, for the first time in the series, online singles or doubles matches. This will be the first original Mario Tennis title since 2005's Mario Tennis: Power Tour. However, in 2009, Nintendo rereleased the GameCube title Mario Power Tennis on the Wii with New Play Control support for the Wii Remote. As it did with those titles, Camelot Software Planning is handling development duties for Mario Tennis Open.

- Etrian Odyssey IV slated for July in Japan Sequel to DS RPG now on its way to 3DS; features option to change difficulty. The Etrian Odyssey series is known for its hardcore role-playing gameplay tailor-made for the dual screens of the DS. Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Andriasang) recently announced a fourth game in the works by Atlus that will be released for the 3DS on July 5. A typical scene from Etrian Odyssey III. The sequel's full title is Etrian Odyssey IV: Densetsu no Kyojin (Myth of the Giant), and it introduces seven classes, such as the sniper, dancer, and medic. New to the series is the option to set the game's difficulty to cater towards newcomers interested in the genre. The difficulty can be adjusted at any point during the game. There is currently no word on a North American or European release at this point. The most recent entry in the franchise is Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, which was released on the DS in 2010. The game was praised for its challenge level and sea voyages that complement the dungeon-crawling segments, but it was criticized for its steep learning curve and bare-bones plot.
