Square Enix - Final Fantasy VII Advent Children EU Release
Recently it was leaked that Final Fantasy Advent Children complete would be released on July 27th [1]
I approached Square Enix asking them if this was true. they replied "...Sony Pictures should be making a statement about a European release of Advent Children Complete imminently. We cannot comment on the release date until then"
I've tried finding someone at Sony Pictures UK to ask regarding this but i have had no luck. a check of their recent press releases show that there has been no confirmation by them officially as yet.
Not an confirmation or denial so i looked around other online retailers to see if they have acted on some possible news. Play.Com [2] does have a listing for a 27th July release, however neither Amazon.co.uk or HMV.co.uk have a listing. So watch this space I guess.
@leddy2286 asked me to find out about the Final Fantasy XIII Demo that shipped with the Japanese Blu-Ray release of advent children. Again, I asked if this Demo will be released in the UK, or even in other territories.
Squares reply was "A demo for territories outside of Japan is still being discussed and will be disclosed in due course"
Again, rather vague but at least they haven't said no to the idea.

“Rise of Serkan adds six new epic Heroes to PoxNora, the most we have ever released in a single expansion, and for the first time ever, players will be able to purchase booster packs from past expansions to fill out their collection,” said Dan Kopycienski, director of development, SOE Tucson. “We’re also excited to introduce the new equipment runes, adding a whole new element to PoxNora battles.”
Rise of Serkan features:
More than 70 New Runes – Rise of Serkan introduces more than 70 new runes to PoxNora, including 40 champions and 20 spells, as well as the long-awaited “Bunny Lord,” another rune inspired by thePoxNora community.
New Equipment Mechanic – This expansion also introduces special equipment that can be transformed into relics, giving your allies an added bonus. These relics, in turn, can transform back into equipment.
New Campaign – Rise of Serkan will include one new campaign with four encounters. In this campaign, players will take part in the fight against Serkan.
More Avatar Experience – Rise of Serkan also features 10 more experience levels for avatars introduced in the last expansion.
New Store Products – With the release of Rise of Serkan, all previous PoxNora releases will now be available in booster packs and booster boxes in the pack store found at www.PoxNora.com! This will make it easier for players looking for runes they have missed to add them to their collection.

JOIN SEGA ON A JAMBO! SAFARI
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (Wednesday 20th May, 2009) -- SEGA® Europe Ltd., and SEGA® of America, Inc., today announced Jambo! Safari, an action packed African adventure exclusively for the home video game system, Wii™, and the Nintendo DS™ system. Hitting stores late in 2009, Jambo! Safari takes the fun and excitement of the classic 1990’s arcade action title and reinvents it with modern graphics and deeper gameplay, suited to today’s Nintendo consumers.
As with the original, the new Jambo! Safari allows you to play as one of four safari park rangers, but this time they are fully customisable. With the ultimate aim of becoming a fully qualified ranger, players must take on high speed challenges and exciting rescue missions across the rich and varied free-roaming landscapes of the African Plains. Using one of the four customisable vehicles, including the licensed Land Rover Defender 90 and 110, rangers will need to ensure the animals in their park are healthy and happy. The vast range of Jambo! Safari missions include rescuing animals in need, diagnosing and treating them before releasing them back to the wild, wildlife photography, sight seeing adventures and even hot air balloon rides!
Jambo! Safari Animal Rescue for Nintendo DS has been adapted to make full use of the stylus and double screens of the Nintendo DS system whilst interacting and caring for the animals of the African Plains. Swinging the Wii RemoteTM like a lasso and using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to drive through the vast levels of Jambo! Safari Ranger Adventure and will immerse players in a true safari experience on the Wii console.
“Jambo! Safari was a much loved SEGA arcade game that has lent itself perfectly to the unique way of playing games on Nintendo platforms”, commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director SEGA Europe. “Jambo! Safari makes learning fun, whilst children are playing the game and rescuing the wild animals they collect information cards, meaning they learn the characteristics of the animals and their natural habitat as they play”.
Alongside the single player adventure to become a ranger, Jambo! Safari Ranger Adventure for Wii will also contain a co-op mode enabling you to share certain missions with a friend. The party games can be enjoyed by up to four people, so take your pick between Ostrich Racing, Meerkat Madness and more safari style fun.
Jambo! Safari will be releasing for the home video game system, Wii™ and the Nintendo DS™ system late in 2009. For more information please visit www.sega.com/jambosafari.
