  • Tecmo Koei Europe have just an hour or two ago officially announced their release date for Dynasty Warriors Next, the first installment of the series on the Playstation Vita and a mixture of the Dynasty Warriors and DW: Empires games.

  • At least over here in Australia, any arcade releases from Japan are not something all that common, however I could not help put post up this recent preview video for Steel Chronicle, a co-op multiplayer shooter headed for arcades. While the characters may all be anime-style catering to a number of tastes, this remains a mecha fighter which looks intense and judging purely from the responses of the people narrating/playing – a hell of a lot of fun! The official website has recently been released...

  • Announced last week, the upcoming Playstation 3 game Meikyuu Touro Legasista is an action RPG being developed by System Prisma, the team behind the Classic Dungeon (Cladun) set of PSP games and Nippon Ichi Software which will be publishing the title. The gameplay seems very familiar to the Cladun series, taking the gamer through dungeons with a character customized by them, but using the enhanced capabilities of the Playstation 3 as well as evidently more ambition with HD Character Sprites and even proper character portraits!...

    Nippon Ichi Software’s games have always made use of both internally and external art talent when it comes to their games and games they have collaborated in. For example, in Disgaea 4 they had two new classes designed by Kouhaku Kuroboshi (Necromancer) and Noizi Ito (Orderly) and in Trinity Universe’s Illustrator Collaboration Project, Yoshihiko Imaizumi provided the designs for catgirl Miyu. To celebrate the pending release of Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (or Disgaea 3 Return) on the Playstation Vita due for launch in Japan on the...

  • While each region has their own Playstation Community, ranging from forums to blog posts, it seems that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan have taken the next step by opening the “Play Community”. As the title may indicate, this is more of a social network site than previous iterations in which you can make friends, form groups, make a profile page and the like. While the website is extremely slow at the moment, you can sign in with your PSN ID and Password to register HERE. [Source:...

  • Cave is a Japanese company that is highly regarded for their bullet hell games such as DonDonPachi and DeathSmiles just from the top of my head (Alongside the odd deviation such as Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine). However, it seems that every good developer needs to deviate a bit from the norm, thus the next game they have announced is a F2P browser-based social mahjong game under the title Mahjong Rokumeikan. Not much information is available on this game as of yet other then it will...

  • Okay, so the title “Listen to Me, Girls. I am Your Father!” or “Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai!” in Japanese might sound like a rather creepy series, but thankfully from the looks of things it will only remain a Romantic Comedy with only mild fanservice. Recently announced was a Playstation Portable version of the Light Novel series written by Tomohiro Matsu and illustrated by Yuka Nakajima. For those who have not heard of the series before – here is a brief synopsis as taken from MyAnimeList:...
