Dissidia Duodecim demo rated for Australia, could venture outside Japan
Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy is set to arrive at retail one month from now, and it appears that Japan's 300 Yen ($3.64) demo -- "Prologus" (seriously) -- could accompany it to English territories. A classification for the demo popped up on the Australian Classification Board website, listing "Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy" with a "PG" rating (for "mild fantasy violence and themes," of course). While the Australian rating certainly doesn't guarantee a North American release, we'd wager it'll arrive here based on localization efforts alone. In Japan, the Prologus demo unlocks Final Fantasy VII's Aerith as an assisting (but not playable) character in the main game.
'Marvel Pinball' leaked by Australian Ratings Board
The development studio behind both the Pinball FX series on XBLA and Zen Pinball on PSN has just popped up on the Australian Ratings Board website under a listing for "Marvel Pinball," a "multiplatform" game. The ESRB has yet to detail it, but we get the feeling Marvel Pinball just might be a pinball game with Marvel branding and characters -- our detective work knows no bounds, we know. Given past additions to its pinball games, Zen Studios could be planning the title as an expansion to its forthcoming Pinball FX 2. Regardless, the listing existing at all means we should be hearing more about Marvel Pinball sooner than later.
