After Acquire finished releasing Akiba’s Beat‘s set of Japanese character trailers XSEED Games has begun their own English subtitled series of videos and after focusing on the main protagonist they are now moving on to Saki Hoshino, meaning they will likely be releasing videos in the same order as the developer.
Saki recently moved to Akihabara in an effort to attend a vocational school but unlike many of the other characters, it appears that she has been battling the delusions for some time as she is already working with her familiar, named Pinkun, in order to remove these delusions and protect the world.
NIS America has continued with their series of character introduction videos for their upcoming release Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors and this time around the delinquent being introduced is named Tsukasa Yaegashi who happens to be a street-smart girl with a loose tongue but while she might be tough, she does have quite a soft side and sense of humor.
Tsuakasa will serve as a powerful healer for the party and wields a mace when in combat. You can check out her reveal trailer below and keep an eye out for Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors when it is released in North America on September 20th and in Europe on September 23rd for the PS Vita.

With Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter set to be released in Japan on October 13th for the PS Vita Compile Heart has chosen to release the opening movie for the game a little over a month early. The minute and a half long video, found below, gives us a brief look at each of the main characters in the title all set to a very catchy theme song and fairly impressive visuals for this style of game.
Currently Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter has not been announced for release in the West though the chances of the dungeon crawling RPG being localized in the future are quite high.
Razer announced today a brand new keyboard today that looks to bridge the gap between rubber domed and mechanical keyboards. The Razer Ornata will come with green LEDs and also a RGB LED version called the Razer Ornata Chroma. The keyboard will feature a brand new, patent pending switch that uses a rubber dome base to maintain a soft, cushioned feel and a mechanical switch mounted on the top for a crisp tactile click. To top it all off, a mid height keycap sits on top of the switch, to create a short travel time for faster actuation.
The Razer Ornata comes with a magnetically attached wrist rest, 10-key roll over, a dedicated gaming mode, and lighting controlled by the Razer Synapse software. The keyboard is available now through Razer’s online store and will hit retailers in October 2016. The Razer Ornata will carry an MSRP of $79.99 USD and the Razer Ornata Chroma will be priced at $99.99 USD.
I find the Razer Ornata to be a pretty intriguing idea. Admittedly, mechanical keyboard snobs will likely turn their noses on anything with the words “membrane” or “rubber dome.” There are so many variations of mechanical key switches and modifications these days, it’s highly likely that someone will eventually find a mechanical switch to suit their taste. On the other hand, Razer is offering the full featured Ornata keyboard at a price competitive with higher end rubber domed gaming keyboards. Either way, I applaud Razer’s attempt to carve a brand new niche for themselves.
Koei Tecmo has released a new video in their series of short character focused trailers for their upcoming Berserk title. This time around the character being focused on happens to be one of the first characters that was confirmed for the game outside of Guts and Griffith and I’m talking about the young witch-in-training named Schierke.
You can check out the full video featuring Schierke below and as for the game itself, Berserk is currently set to be released in Japan on October 27th and sometime this fall when it is released in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and PC.
Wayforward had some bad news to share with those looking forward to Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. First and foremost the company stated that they are no longer able to hit their previously targeted release date of September 27th and are now pushing the game back by about six weeks in an effort to polish out any bugs that have appeared in the title, though no new date has been given at this time.
On that note, the company also announced that due to the fact that only 1% of the project’s backers chose the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game that they have chosen to cancel those versions of the game and are working one on one with those who are affected by this decision.
Deep Silver, who is handling the publishing of Atlus USA and some Sega titles in Europe, has announced that fans of the company’s 3DS titles can expect to see 7th Dragon III Code: VFD and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse sometime this Winter season, setting these fans up for a longer wait than many had expected.
This news is likely quite disheartening for some who hoped that the partnership would reduce the time between North American release dates and European considering 7th Dragon III Code: VFD was already released back in mid-July and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is set to be released on September 20th.
One of the features that Titanfall 2 has touted is the fact that there will be far more Titan types to choose from in this sequel and now EA and Respawn Entertainment have released a new trailer showing off a little bit of what each of these Titan types can do.

You can check out the trailer below and keep an eye out for Titanfall 2 when it is released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 28th.
