criminal-girls-2-party-favors-screenshot-014

As with the first game, Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors places players in charge of a group of “Delinquent” girls that they must guide through the Hell Spire as part of the Reformation Program in an effort to cleanse them of their sins to and allow them to be reborn. As such NIS America has begun to release character trailers introducing the girls that players will be in charge of and the first video introduces Shinoa Akizuki.

Shinoa is described as a smiling honor roll student who trusts the player and appears earnest in trying to reform herself, though whether or not this is true is up in the air thanks to her placement in the program.

Sony Announces PlayStation Meeting for September

playstation-4-console

Sony has announced a PlayStation meeting for September 7th where the under wraps PlayStation 4 Neo/PlayStation 4.5 is almost certain to be officially unveiled. An email invited press to the event which is set to take place on September 7 at 3PM Eastern Time in New York. You can expect it to be live streamed to the public as well.

All this comes after months of rumours about the PlayStation 4.5 and it’s possible September announcement. Not much is known about the PlayStation Neo but it is expected to offer graphical enhancements to new and existing titles with 4K visuals as well as UltraHD Blu-Ray support. Obviously this means the Neo will be a fair bit more powerful than the original PS4 but rest assured there will be no PS4 Neo exclusive games as Sony has said it will not be replacing the PS4 at all. Games will have to run on both consoles although the Neo may offer better performance or visuals.

Sony have also mentioned that it’s PlayStation VR headset will run more optimally on the Neo. Speaking of VR you can probably expect some news on that front as well. The PS4 Neo will be competing with the Xbox One S/Scorpio in the upgraded console market while Nintendo’s mysterious NX is launching in March 2017.

Brand New Pokemon and Alolan Forms Announced for Sun & Moon

pokemon-sun-moon-scan-03A big Pokemon news drop is coming on August 12th but that doesn’t mean Japanese magazine CoroCoro won’t be giving us it’s usual monthly dose of awesome leaks. This time we got five brand new Pokemon, two more Alolan forms of generation 1 Pokemon and the reveal of some members of Pokemon Sun & Moon’s mandatory evil team. For now we only have Japanese names for these Pokemon but you can expect them to have their international reveal in a couple of days.

So first up is a sandcastle Pokemon that evolves into a bigger sandcastle. Sunaba and Shirodesuna, pictured above, are both Ground/Ghost type Pokemon and are based on grudges that dwell inside sand. Shirodesuna has a particularly evil description, stealing a Pokemon’s life force and turning their grudge into a Sunaba. A vicious cycle. The first stage of Bewear was also revealed, Nuikoguma retains it’s Normal/Fighting type and is said to be really strong despite it’s cute appearance.

The fish type Pokemon although having two apperances is actually one Pokemon. It’s name is Yowashi and is pure Water type. It can change from it’s Single Form into a larger form known as School Form which looks like a submarine.

pokemon-sun-moon-scan-01

Meowth and Marowak have both received new Alolan forms. These Pokemon are still the same in name but basically different in all other aspects including type. Alolan Meowth is a pure Dark type and developed after being bred by the Alola royal family. Alolan Marowak is a Ghost/Fire type who changed it’s type to adapt to it’s predators and resist them.

pokemon-sun-moon-scan-04

Lastly, the evil team is named Team Skull. We see what appears to be two high level bosses of the evil organization, the main boss is the male and is called Guzma while the girl is Plumeri. Their motives are still unclear but if I had to guess they will probably have something to do with Z-moves.

For now that’s all but we are only two days out from our next huge information dump on August 12th. Pokemon Sun and Moon releases on November 18th for the Nintendo 3DS.
