/ Jeff Jones / 2 Comments

Those that have been waiting for a “game of the year” version of Mortal Kombat X will not have to wait much longer.

The Mortal Kombat XL edition includes all skins, characters, kombos, x-rays, and fatalities from Kombat packs 1 and 2. The price of the XL edition is yet to be announced, but if you preorder now you get the Cosplay Pack that features Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs as Sub Zero and Scorpion.

Mortal Kombat XL is set to release March 1st in North America and March 4th in Europe for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One digitally and in stores. PC players seem to be out of luck at the moment as it is not mentioned in the trailer at all.

The announcement came out after Atlus launched the official website for the game today. The remake of the PS2 classic will appear on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita. Check out the Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir website for more information.

Odin Sphere is one of those game I missed out on playing. I do have an affinity for mythology so I won’t be missing out this time.

Also known as the first game in the Mana series, Final Fantasy Adventure will be localized according to the Japanese Twitter account for the game.

Final Fantasy Adventure is a spin-off of the Final Fantasy series and originally came out in the U.S. in 1991. The remake will be named Adventures of Mana and is coming to iOS, and Android in the West. The Japanese version of the website also has the PS Vita listed as a platform, but there is no word on a Vita version for the west.

There is no release date since Square Enix has not officially announced Adventures of Mana for the West just yet. Check out the trailer below.

I’m definitely looking forward to this one as I do have fond memories of enjoying this on my Gameboy, as a kid. I will also be keeping my fingers crossed for a localized Vita version.

Some of the rewards include 15 strange coins, 15 motes of light, and a “exclusive” new emblem. Those are some pretty valuable rewards considering Xur is in the Tower for his weekly visit. The event is good up until the end of this Sunday the 10th so go get you some Destiny rewards.
