Musou Stars Adds Darius and Hajime Arima to the Roster

Koei Tecmo has revealed another two characters that will be joining the ever growing roster of Musou Stars characters. Both of the characters are from a series known as Harukanaru Toki no Naka de and they are called Darius and Hajime Arima. Darius is a young man from the Oni Clan that lives deep within the forest of the Imperial Capital and wears a mask to prove that he is a leader and to show his triumphs in genjutsu. In combat Darius will wield a sword cane and make use of spiritual powers to manipulate wood, create tornadoes to deal damage to his enemies, and even fire scatter shots from the tip of his cane.

Hajime Arima is a commanding officer from the Imperial Army’s Vengeful Spirit elimination organization and uses a standard Japanese blade to blow away his enemies with powerful slash attacks that are filled with spiritual energy. Koei Tecmo also detailed how players will be able to experience different endings depending on what key battles they clear. You see, Musou Stars will feature a world map with free scenarios that can be played outside of the key battles and some of these may have special conditions such as befriending certain characters before they are allowed to even try the mission.

Valkyria Revolution Announced for Western Release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PS Vita

Sega has announced that they are planning on releasing Valkyria: Azure Revolution in North America and Europe with Deep Silver handling the publishing in that region. The company is aiming on having the title, which will now be called Valkyria Revolution released in Q2 2017 and they are aiming on having it releasd physically and digitally for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as digitally for the PS Vita.

Valkyria Revolution is considered quite different from the original Valkyria Chronicles games because not only does it take place in an alternate timeline based on the European industrialization era but also features a hybrid of real-time combat and tactical strategy rather than only using the traditional turn-based strategy gameplay of the original games.

Sega has provided something of an overview of what to expect from the game and you can check that out below:

All it takes is a single spark to start the inferno of war, and in the story of Valkyria Revolution, players will experience that firsthand. Five lifelong friends consumed by personal revenge plunge an entire continent into a terrible war, sacrificing the lives of countless innocents for a cause based on twisted half-truths and outright lies. This “Circle of Five” use their combined influence in their political and military positions to motivate their small, economically blockaded homeland to rise up and become a powerful resistance against its imperialist oppressors. Will the Circle of Five be remembered as heroic liberators, or will their selfish motives expose them as traitorous conspirators who sacrificed untold lives just to carry out a personal vendetta? Players will watch this history unfold in Valkyria Revolution and find out the truth behind the events…

Persona 5 Haru Okumura English Introduction Video

A new English introduction trailer for Persona 5 has been released by Atlus USA and this time around the company is introducing Haru Okumura and alongside this they have provided an interview with her voice actress, Xanthe Huynh. One wouldn’t think that the obedient daughter of an affluent business man would be rebellious, but Haru Okumura is a passionate member of the team. Although she grew up with all the elegance and splendor that money could buy, it came at the cost of her freedom. A gilded cage is still a cage, and she grew up always being told what to do, how to think, and was raised to simply be an obedient girl.

However, getting mixed up with the Phantom Thieves will help her learn how to break out and fly free. Codenamed Noir, Haru is a kindhearted person who truly wants to change the world for the better and ensure that justice always prevails. You can check out the videos below and keep an eye out for Persona 5 when it is released in North America and Europe on April 4th.

God Wars: Future Past Delayed in Japan to Spring 2017

Kadokawa Games has announced that they are delaying the release of God Wars: Future Past in Japan. Previously the company was planning on releasing the strategy RPG on February 23rd for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita but now the company is aiming to have the title released in Spring 2017. According to the announcement the delay is for a handful of reasons as the company aims to increase the tempo of battle, make adjustments to various resistances based on the difficulty level, improve responses, adjust the camera system, and alter the interface to be easier to understand and use.

It is interesting to note that NIS America has previously confirmed that they are trying to have God Wars: Future Past released in the West in early 2017 so this delay will likely affect the Western release window as well.

Nintendo Switch Official Event Detailed & Complete Rumour Roundup

Nintendo Switch Official Event Detailed & Complete Rumour Roundup

Nintendo have announced that major details on their upcoming console the Nintendo Switch will be revealed at an official event in Tokyo on January 13th at 3PM AEDT. For those in the US that’s January 12th at 11PM EST. We have also been lucky enough to be invited to a localised hands-on event in Melbourne on the 14th of January, so expect a full news breakdown of all the new information and our personal hands on impressions soon after.

Until then though rumours have been flying rampant about the Switch including possible specs, features and launch window titles so for my own personal benefit and to all the readers out there I’ve tried to compile all of that information in one place in a simple format. These are all the details we know for sure.

  • The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid of a traditional home console and handheld device. You can dock the console, which contains both the screen and all the hardware, into a dock connected to your TV. You can then remove the console from that dock to take it on the go.
  • You can remove the two controllers (called Joycon Controllers) on the side to play with your hands separated, attach them to the screen or attach them on the basic controller. It has been shown that two gamers can hold one Joycon each to play some multiplayer titles like Mario Kart 8 that was shown in the trailer.

  • Physical games will come on a cartridge due to their small size and quick loading features. The rumoured maximum cartridge size is 32GB.
  • Nvidia is supplying the graphics processor, with the Switch running a custom version of the Tegra chip-set. Basically you can expect the Switch to provide a level of graphics comparable to the base PS4, if not slightly weaker. It is rumoured the Switch will only have 4GB of ram which unfortunately will limit performance.
  • The Nintendo Switch has a tentative release date of March 2017.
  • The Switch will not be psychically backwards compatible. We’ll explain more about digital emulation in the rumours.
  • The Switch has a finalized list of partners that are working on games in some capacity.

  • The Nintendo Switch will support amiibo.
  • Confirmed games include:
    • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    • Sonic Project 2017
    • Constructor HD
    • Cube Life: Island Survival HD
    • Dragon Quest X
    • Dragon Quest XI
    • Dungeon Of Zaar
    • Just Dance 2017
    • Lego City Undercover Upgraded Port
    • Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
    • Untitled Nobunaga’s Ambition Game
    • Untitled 3D Super Mario Game
    • Untitled NBA Game
    • Untitled Pokemon Game
    • RISE: Race the Future
    • Riverside
    • The Sacred Hero
    • Seasons of Heaven
    • Stardew Valley
    • Tank it!
    • Yooka-Laylee

And now for all the rumours. These have all either been widely reported or reported by reputable sources. These are listed below in order of how likely they are to occur with the top-most rumours being almost guaranteed based on evidence and our knowledge of the industry. That’s not to say all of these things won’t happen just don’t get too excited for the features towards the bottom of the list.

  • EA are bringing Skyrim Remastered to the Switch. This was seen in the trailer and is all but confirmed.
  • Enhanced ports of Wii U games including Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Smash Bros.
  • The dock will be sold separately so you can dock your Switch console on multiple TV’s easily. Plugging in to the dock will improve system performance slightly, enabling 1080p output for games that support it.
  • Patents have shown the Switch may implement VR similar to how the Samsung Gear works (where you will place the console in a headset you attach to your head)
  • The same patents show a touchscreen display, USB C for charging and plugging into the dock, gyroscope functionality and IR sensors in the Joycons. These are all likely to be implemented into the final design
  • The Switch will have a GameCube Virtual Console with the best games in it’s library set to make an appearance close to launch including Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

  • Pricing will begin at around $250 and the rumoured release date is March 2017. It is expected the console will launch within the same week worldwide.
  • A Dark Souls collection/trilogy will be coming to the Switch with all DLC included
  • Other rumoured games include a Mario and Rabbids property RPG crossover, a port of Xenoblade Chronicles X, Pikmin 4 and Beyond Good & Evil
  • The Switch may be region free.
  • An enhanced third version of Pokemon Sun & Moon named Pokemon Stars will come to the Switch

Let us know what you think in the comments below and tell us what you believe is true and what isn’t. Personally I think almost all of these things will happen, with the Pokemon Stars news being the least likely only due to Pokemon’s legacy of being on a handheld. All will be revealed come January 13th.
