BLAST AWAY ENEMIES IN THE NAME OF LOVE AND HATS IN I WANT TO BE HUMAN COMING APRIL 15

Still A Better Love Story Than That Other Vampire Saga

Los Angeles, California – April 8, 2016 – Rising Star Games, a video game publisher renowned for bringing unique and diverse games to players everywhere, announced today that the wonderfully bizarre I Want To Be Human will be launching on PC on April 15. Oozing from the leaking brain goop of Sinclair Strange, I Want To Be Human follows a young girl, recently turned into a vampire, who travels to hell and back to rescue her lover boy, who was also turned into a hat by the same nefarious forces. Not to worry, as the heroine is not some barmaid living amongst fanged creatures in a small Louisiana town; gamers will discover the shotgun splatting skills of the vengeful vamp, slaughtering all sorts of enemies through this blood-soaked monochromatic pandemonium.

Unfortunately, splatty bloodstains are not machine washable in I Want To Be Human.

I Want To Be Human is packed with crazy platform blasting action, tongue-in-cheek humor, and lashings of exploding body parts. The game invites the brave and slightly warped to shoot through five worlds of blood-soaked black and white mayhem, as they battle through a violent platforming tale of vampire love, betrayal and endless destruction, all drenched in pixelated gore! Not only is the game rife with vivid grisly artwork, it also features an edgy electropunk soundtrack featuring artist Jimmy Urine.

I Want To Be Human will be available April 15 on Steam and selected digital retailers for $14.99. For more information on I Want To Be Human, please visit the official website.

Currently Bandai Namco is aiming to release Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization in Japan sometime this fall and the company has already announced plans to bring the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita title to North America and Europe sometime this year.

Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls Heads West in the Fall

A little over a year ago a crossover between the Neptunia series and Sega Hard Girls was announced for Japan and now Idea Factory International has announced that that game will be released in the West under the name Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls.

The title will be released for the PlayStation Vita sometime this fall in North America and Europe where it will be available both physically and digitally. For those unfamiliar with the game, Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls is an RPG that places IF in the primary role as Neptune ends up being transformed into a motorcycle.

Joined by the Sega Hard Girls, who are characters created from the Sega consoles such as Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, and Mega Drive, IF must recover the lost history of the Grand Library. A brief summary of the game’s story as well as screenshots and key art that is slightly altered between North America and Europe for the game can be found below:

Our story begins in the mysterious halls of an ancient library…The Grand Library holds the history of the world within its shelves. Legend says that if one was to tamper with the books kept there, the past itself could be completely rewritten… A daring adventurer known as IF discovered the location of this revered library and finally crossed its threshold. Little did she know, a disaster of historical proportions was about to occur before her very eyes. Books began to vanish from the library’s shelves; the history of the world was disappearing before her and the reasons for this occurrence were shrouded in mystery.
IF sets out on a journey across time to uncover the truth! Will she be able to work together with both the Sega Hard Girls and Goddesses to recover the lost history? Will they really be able to save the world?

The King of Fighters XIV Adds New Fighters Mui Mui and Kukri

SNK Playmore has released their eleventh teaser trailer for The King of Fighters XIV and with this one they announce two more characters that will be joining the roster when the game is released sometime this year for the PlayStation 4.

These two fighters are going to be extremely unfamiliar for those who have played the series before and there is a good reason for that as Mui Mui is from the dark days when SNK was focusing entirely on pachinko machines and she is apparently from one called Dragon Gal while the second character, Kukri, is brand new and a rather mysterious looking fighter.

Ace Attorney 6 Details the Returning Trucy Wright, Ema Skye, and More

Earlier this week we learned that both Ema Skye and Trucy Wright will be returning in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 and now Capcom has provided some additional details and screenshots focusing on both of these characters as well as two others that were revealed, Mimi Nanano who is a novice magician that looks up to Trucy and Kanenari Shinoyama who is a famous producer who sometimes takes jokes a bit too far but is called a “man of ability.”

Ema Skye is a female detective that has appeared before Wright and Apollo in the past and with her love of science and forensics she has finally passed her exams and become the forensic investigator she has always wanted to become.

As for Trucy Wright, she is continuing her popular magic act and is entertaining many as the leading role in a magic show. Unfortunately when she invites Wright and Apollo to a dress rehearsal the dead body of her co-star appears and Trucy is arrested as being responsible for the accident that caused his death. With Trucy arrested and her ability to provide a safe environment being heavily criticized it is up to Apollo to prove her innocence.
