March 27, 2015

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim has made a number of appearances in the West but never in its original form. You see, despite being released on the PC in 2003, the title never was released in the West until 2005 when it was released for the PlayStation 2 and a year later on the PSP.

Well now XSEED Games is back to bring an official English release of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim to PC sometime this spring. It will feature a number of upgrades including full widescreen support, the ability to warp between checkpoints, and “Catastrophe Mode” where healing items are automatically used when you pick them up and cannot be purchased or stored.

This week the anime adaptation of Kantai Collection ended in Japan and at the end of the broadcast it was revealed that a second season would be coming. It is currently unknown exactly when this second season will air, especially since this season suffered numerous delays and still was poorly received due to its lack of consistency and heavy focus on an unpopular main character while leaving popular characters in the background.

For those who don’t know, this anime adaptation is of a popular free-to-play browser game of the same name based around “Fleet Girls”, all of whom are vaguely based off of historic WWII ships, as they battle against abyssal ships. At the moment the series has not been licensed for release in the West but is still available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
