DSFix for Dark Souls Accidentally Swept up in DMCA Take Downs Against Debug File

death-in-games-dark-souls-screenshot-01

There has been an unintended victim since the release of the debug .exe file for Dark Souls on the popular modding site Nexus Mods. Durante’s DSFix 2.3.1 was accidentally swept up in the wave of DMCA take downs when the German office of Bandai Namco issued one against the DSFix file on Dropbox.

Fans reacted with anger and confusion on NeoGaf and Reddit as DSFix is a necessity to get the PC port of Dark Souls running well. Durante explains his fix works by intercepting API calls between the game and the computer, thus containing no infringing material.

The latest update from Bandai Namco is that they have recognized that the DMCA take down is in error and that the matter is currently being resolved. In the mean time, those who just picked up Dark Souls during the Steam sale can use the temporary mirror hosted on Mega.

Today Koei Tecmo and Gust has released a slew of new screenshots and details for Atelier Rorona Plus 3DS which is currently set to be released in Japan on March 26th. It has been revealed that the game will contain all of the content added into the Plus version that was previously released for the PS Vita and PS3 though everything has been given a chibi look to work better on the 3DS. This includes the extra mode that involves Totori and Meruru appearing from the future, also in chibi form.

Atelier Rorona Plus 3DS will make use of a revamped battle system that starts like standard battles, featuring either the enemy running into the player on the field or a symbol attack that then transfers into a grid-based battle arena to allow players to easily control their party members and defeat their opponents.

Also shown off in these latest screens are our first look at the Atelier Astrid mode that allows players to play through a small original story following a younger Astrid Zexis and her partner Sterkenburg.

working-season-3-flyer

A flyer that is inserted into the thirteenth manga volume of Working!!, as first discovered by Twitter user nobunaga421 and reported by Yaraon, has revealed that the third anime season for the series will start airing in July 2015. The title will be similar to past versions as the only change has been an added exclamation point making the official title Working!!!.

A-1 Pictures will return to animate the series and at the moment it is unknown exactly how much of the source material the third season will cover, as there is much left to be tapped since although the manga ended its nine year run in Japan last month, the second season aired back in 2011.

It is worth noting that NIS America has licensed and released both seasons of Working!! in North America under the name Wagnaria!!, meaning that if they follow suit with this third season it will likely be called Wagnaria!!! as well.
