It looks like we finally have a solid name to assign to Blanc + Neptune Vs. Zombie Army, something we’ve previously simplified, as it has now been announced for Western release by Idea Factory International. MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies as it will be called in the West, will be released at retail and digitally in spring 2016 for the PlayStation Vita with PS TV support.

MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is set in Gamicademi, Gamindustri’s academy for CPUs and CPU candidates. When Blanc and her friends, including the brand new Tamsoft and Uzume Tennouboshi, try to film a movie to save the school, they accidentally trigger an undead uprising.

We’ve been hearing quite a bit about Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force over in Japan and now Idea Factory International has confirmed that they are indeed planning on bringing the enhanced PlayStation 4 release of the game over to North America and Europe.

Idea Factory International has announced that they will be continuing their support for PC gamers by bringing three of their older titles to Steam in 2016. These titles include Monster Monpiece, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, and Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, all of which have previously been released for the PlayStation Vita.

Each of these games will be updated with higher graphic resolutions for the PC but in an interesting turn of events, Monster Monpiece‘s PC release will be completely uncensored, meaning that the removed card artwork from the original Japanese release will be added back into the game, though it does come at the loss of multiplayer support.

Back in October Idea Factory International announced that they were going to be bringing Trillion: God of Destruction over to the West in Spring 2016 for the PS Vita and now they have chosen to release the first English subtitled gameplay trailer that focuses on introducing the various characters as well as the basic storyline for the game while also showing off a little bit of gameplay.

In Zeabolos’s first battle with Trillion, he is mortally injured, yet is saved form the brink of death by a young necromancer named Faust. Given another chance, Zeabolos must train and forge strong bonds with the six Overlord candidates at his disposal in hopes of bringing an end to Trillion’s reign.

AJTilley has announced that they have a new visual novel set to be released on PC on December 9th. This one happens to be called Highschool Possession and follows a boy named Hikaru who lives a fairly simple life. That all changes when a strange force causes him to switch bodies with his classmates. Of course, rather than switching randomly, he happens to leap into the bodies of both of his crushes, the two school idols Akiko and Kasumi.

While this might seem like a great twist of fate, it soon takes a darker turn as Hikaru realizes that the two girls he previously saw as perfect have secrets of their very own and to make matters worse he has no idea how to get back to his own body or what caused the switching in the first place. When released Highschool Possession will be available in All-Ages through Steam or featuring Adult Content on MangaGamer where the title can currently be pre-ordered for $10.95.

Yesterday Square Enix released the first actual gameplay footage for the Final Fantasy VII Remake which is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 and while there was plenty of people discussing the apparent changes to the combat system at the time, there comes some more news now that Square Enix has released an official press release to go alongside that trailer.

In the press release the company states that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be “told across a multi-part series” and will feature “each entry providing its own unique experience.” Square Enix did not go into too much detail as to how they will be handling this though it is worth noting that the original game did split the story into three separate discs, meaning it may be given the same treatment here.

my-girlfriend-is-a-t-rex-volume-1-cover-artIt appears that Seven Seas Entertainment is taking very kindly to the rising popularity of monster girls and unique manga series coming out of Japan as they have announced, as part of their recent licensing spree, that they have acquired the license to release the manga series My Girlfriend is a T-Rex in North America.

Created by Sanzo a little over a year ago, My Girlfriend is a T-Rex so far has been given one total volume but is still being produced in Japan. The first volume of My Girlfriend is a T-Rex will be released in North America on November 1, 2016 where it will be priced at $12.99.

While the story may be explained by the title alone, the My Girlfriend is a T-Rex manga takes place in a world where dinosaurs evolved to have more human-like features allowing them to live side-by-side with humans. While many of them have blended in well, there are still a few that are rather “cretaceous.”

The story follows Yuuma Asahikawa who encounters a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Churio and begins to date her. However with her ferocious appetite, vicious claws, and razor sharp teeth it will be quite a challenge for Yuuma to survive this relationship.
