Nintendo has announced that the long-awaited The Last Story is officially coming to North America. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime wouldn’t announce a release date, but he did say that XSeed will be localizing the title rather than Nintendo. Count me in for a preorder Nintendo.

Here are the latest review scores form Nintendo Power magazine. I am thrilled that Mario Party 9 faired well as well as Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Check out the rest of the scores below:

Funky Barn 3D (3DS): 6.0
Mario Party 9 (Wii): 8.0
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (3DS): 9.0
Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond (Wii): 5.5

In case you guys missed it, 3 new Nintendo Directs will be airing tomorrow. That’s right guys and gals, Nintendo Direct is returning for a third stream. The latest Nintendo Direct will showcase 3DS and Wii news, and will once again be hosted by Satoru Iwata. The Japanese show is set to air tomorrow at 6:00 AM and will be followed by UK and North American streams as well.

The video for the UK is set to air at 1 PM CET, which converts to 7 AM East Coast time.
