In the trailer Kanami talks about how she has someone she admires and that is why she became an idol. The trailer features Kanami dancing to the song “Shadow World,” just one of many songs that have been re-done for Persona 4: Dancing All Night which is set to be released in Japan on June 25th and will be released in the West sometime in the future.

Rockstar are excited to announce the upcoming updates and features for GTA Online, including the new Adversary Modes, Daily Objectives and Freemode Activities set for release with Heists next week, on March 10.
The competition in Grand Theft Auto Online, has reached a whole new level of intensity with the new Adversary Modes. Players have the option of pitting Hunters against Runners in ‘Come Out to Play’, where the runners are well-armed but limited to foot movement, and the hunters wield free-aim shotguns and ride motorbikes or ATVs.
In ‘Siege Mentality’, up to four players stand their ground, outnumbered but not outgunned as they fight to survive against up to 6 determined attackers (with unlimited lives and sawn-off shotguns) in a location defense mode. And then there is ‘Hasta La Vista’, the ultimate challenge for Cyclists to outwit the hungry Truckers in big rig cabs. The Cyclists’ goal is simple: reach the final checkpoint without getting crushed under the wheels of the pursuing trucks.
For the serious players, completing the Daily Objectives can amount to grand cash rewards – especially for those who stack objectives over consecutive days to earn bonuses of up to $500,000. Additionally, new activities have been added in Freemode, to give players more opportunities for cash, RP rewards and luxurious Awards available for completing these challenges with style.
Check out the new in-game Email notification system that allows players to contact and message any of their GTA Online friends, no matter what session they’re in – as well as a host of new Awards that yield new items including exclusive t-shirts and car modifications.
Don’t miss out on the epic updates next week for GTA Online, which will be available for consoles in tandem with Heists. Keep your eyes peeled for the PC launch of Grand Theft Auto V on April 14, that will be released with the new features mentioned above.
After Compile Heart announced Destroyer Trillion for the PlayStation Vita we heard very little about the title. That all changed within the last few months as not only have we seen how the game will play but also learned various other details concerning the plot and the various characters in the game.
As such, since Destroyer Trillion is currently set to be released in Japan on May 21st, Compile Heart has released the opening movie for the title and you can check that out below. In the video we see not only Zeabolos and Faust but the other demon lords who will be joining the fight against the nearly immortal Trillion.

The video can be found below alongside some new screenshots and for those who haven’t been following the PS4 title, Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory II tells a story spanning through three dimenions called Zero Dimension Neptunia Z, Hyperdimension Neptunia G, and Heart Dimension Neptunia H.

NIS America announced last month that they are planning on bringing Prope and Kadokawa Games’ Rodea the Sky Soldierto North America and Europe. At the time the company had only announced the game for release on the 3DS and the Wii U but they did not say whether or not the Wii version would be packed in with the Wii U release similar to how the title will be released in Japan.
That changed today when NIS America announced that they will indeed be packing the Wii version of the game with all first-print retail versions of the Wii U when it is released later this fall. It is worth noting that the Wii version was finished but never actually released, but it does feature Yuji Naka’s original vision for the title.
