Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have announced that they will be holding a one-day exhibition style tournament in Tokyo, Japan for the top players of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. Called the Dead or Alive Festival, the event will be streamed live on August 1st and will feature top players from North America, Europe, and Asia. A community vote will be held to elect two of North America’s top players that will compete in the tournament’s top eight finals alongside three top players from Europe and Asia, plus three winners from qualifier brackets earlier in the tournament.
The event will be held at Osaki Bright Core Hall in Tokyo and the winner will be given a non-cash prize valued at $3,000 USD and the fighters who come in first and second place will be awarded a sponsored flight, hotel and registration fee for the grand finals of Battle Royal 2015, NEC XVI that takes place in Philadelphia this December
Late last year PQube announced that they would be releasing the English translation of the Steins;Gate visual novel on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in Europe. Skip head to today and you’ll find that Steins;Gate is now available for purchase on both of these platforms and that the company has released a launch trailer that can be found below.
Currently it is unknown if PQube will be attempting to pursue other games in the series such as Chaos;Head and Robotics;Notes. Each of these three visual novels have been given anime adaptations that have already been released in the West though it is worth noting that Steins;Gate was far better received than its counterparts.
To celebrate the new DLC, there will be a Ill-Gotten Gains Social Club Event Weekend (Part One) from Friday to Sunday (12-14 June) and plenty of opportunities for bonus RP, GTA$ and more – perfect for the consummate capitalist.
Be sure to check out the Ill-Gotten Gains livestream at the Rockstar Twitch Channel this Wednesday, 8:00pm (E.S.T), with special guests from the GTAV (and Max Payne 3!) soundtrack, HEALTH.

In just 13-and-a-half hours, the Kickstarter for AnimEigo’sOtaku no Video Otaking Edition was successfully funded. An identical campaign has since launched on Indiegogo so that people can make a pledge through PayPal.
The first stretch goal, the “Cover Up(grade)”, has been reached, so Mr. Sonoda will create two brand new colour illustrations of Otaku no Video. Due to the fact that the ratio of people choosing premium editions over the basic edition is roughly 4:1, meaning that less people are backing the crowd-funding campaign than originally expected, the minimum number of pledges for some of the other stretch goals has been reduced. The Mini-Manga stretch goal now only needs 1,250 backers, and the minimum number of backers for the “Today is a Good Day to Subtitle” stretch goal has been significantly reduced to just 1,500.
The “Comically Awesome” goal will remain the same due to the costs involved. There will also be new stretch goals, the first of which is “Comprehensible Commentary”. This will be an English-language commentary track featuring author and anime historian Gilles Poitras.
Crowd-production team members are already beginning work on reviewing the subtitles and translating the commentary. Finally, Robert Woodhead revealed AnimEigo’s next project: the Riding Bean High Octane Edition, which will launch this summer.
Things have not been going well for Bad JuJu Games as of late. Several weeks ago, the company had to address concerns that developers were not being paid their share of the sales. The company blamed the issues on a troublesome transition that saw Bad JuJu Games purchase popular indie game distribution service Desura and Indie Royale from Linden Labs and Bad JuJu Games’ CEO being hospitalized.
Today, Lisa Morrison, Head of Developer Relations, reported that employees have been locked out of their email accounts via Twitter.
Graeme Boxall of Indie Royale made a tweeted news that Bad JuJu Games has filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy and that the company is not speaking to him according to advice by the company’s legal counsel.
If you Google, Bad Juju bankruptcy, you find some very unfortunate news.
Bad JuJu Games and Desura has not made any public announcement in regards to the bankruptcy. The future is unclear right now whether or not developers will be able to see any of their money or what will happen to Desura.
