Tuesday Shorts – Ni No Kuni, FF Type-0, not-actually-Darkstalkers, more

A few little bits and bobs from here and there, lovingly condensed just for you. No really – you.

• This is kind of cool – your Final Fantasy Type-0 characters can continue levelling while the console is asleep. Oh, and Diablos is in it.
• Jonathan Knight has left RockYou for Zynga. Headhunting!
• There’s a very limited Metal Gear Solid Edition of Risk out now.
• Capcom is going to put Darkstalkers costumes in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
• Indie iDevice hit World of Goo is coming to Android.
• NBA 2K12 will release on iPhone, too.
• EA has asked fans to vote on which golfers should appear alongside Tiger Woods in PGA Tour 13.
• Microsoft’s put in a patent for a parental control system powered by Kinect – it guesses your age and is all like, “nuh-uh, no Mortal Kombat for you, shorty”.
• Activision is running another indie gaming competition, with $175,000 up for grabs for the best submission.
• LA Noire and Kinect earned a place in Popular Mechanics’ 2011 awards.
• A tademark has been filed for the PlayStation 3 version of Ni No Kuni, from Studio Ghibli and Level 5, suggesting a Western release. Keep an eye out for official word.
• The PS3 is getting an update which will let it support 4K output; alas, almost nobody has a 4K projector, and there’s very little 4K content out there.

Today’s unrelated street art.
