Late last month Koei Tecmo announced that they were working on an Attack on Titan video game for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita and after the way the first game released for the series turned out, fans were skeptical especially since the team best known for working on the Warriors titles would be handling the development of the title.

Thankfully it seems that fans can breath a little easier as Koei Tecmo has released a new trailer for the game for Tokyo Game Show and in it we see a few snippets of gameplay where it appears that players will be able to make full use of the series’ well-known 3D Maneuver Gear to aim for a Titan’s weak points. Currently the game still has the working title of Attack on Titan but it is known that the game will be released in Japan sometime this Winter and in the West next year.

You can check out the trailer showing off Pikachu Libre’s moves as well as some new screenshots below. As for the game itself, Pokken Tournament is set for Wii U release worldwide in Spring 2016 and in Japan Pikachu Libre will be added to the arcade version of the game starting today.

Although we have heard about some new characters being added and even have gotten a Japanese release date for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition, Sega has been rather stingy when it came to showing off how the enhanced release will look.

Well that changed earlier today when the company released the debut trailer for the title where a number of the new characters, such as Emi Yusa from The Devil is a Part-Timer, make an appearance and show off their moves. You can check out the trailer below, though it is worth noting that for the moment, this version has not been confirmed for release in the West, only the original version Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax has been set for release in a few weeks.
