Idea Factory International has announced that they plan on bringing MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies to the PS Vita in Europe on May 13th.

Compile Heart has updated the official website for Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter and with it comes a few new details for the upcoming PS Vita dungeon crawler. Three new characters have been revealed and their names all reference various famous fairy tale heroines. The first girl is named Thumbelina and is the eldest of the three sisters that are part of the Chishiki Girls Squad. Being strict she often scolds Jack and has a hard time praising him.

Snow White is the middle of the three sisters in the group and she is kind and gentle to those she comes across, including Jack who she often tries to help out despite her clumsy nature. Finally the youngest of the three sisters is Sleeping Beauty. She often behaves oddly and due to her aimless nature she often acts strangely towards Jack and considering she rarely ever speaks, she is something of a mystery.

Atlus USA has announced that they will be bringing Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final over to North America under the name Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse sometime this summer. When the game launches for the 3DS, it will sell for $49.99 US / $64.99 CA. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse shifts the focus away from the Samurai of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado and onto the remaining humans in the ruins of Tokyo.

The protagonist is a Hunter cadet who meets an untimely end at the very beginning of the game, but thanks to the machinations of the god Dagda, he returns to live under Dagda’s servitude. From there, the protagonist becomes the pawn in a much larger plot that skirts the boundaries of peace and anarchy.

Dragon Ball Fusions First Trailer Released

After a few magazine scans have revealed a decent amount of information on the new 3DS title Dragon Ball Fusions, we finally have our first footage of the game which reveals some very interesting aspects such as being able to free roam around the Dragon Ball World, the inclusion of cutscenes in the story mode and what the game will look like in action.

The combat system is still a mystery with nothing being shown on that front (although it will look like it may involve strong RPG elements as opposed to being in real time like a traditional fighter), but we do know you will be able to recruit characters from all over the Dragon Ball world (including the afterlife) and timeline to fight in new battles alongside your custom created hero character.

Being able to free roam in a Dragon Ball game is a pretty rare experience with most titles limited to simply fighting, so with that element and the exciting possibilities created by being able to fuse nearly any character together there is definitely a lot to be excited about here. Hopefully an International release is announced at some point but there is still no official word on that possibility. Check out the trailer for yourself below and let us know what you think in the comments below.
