Today MangaGamer revealed the release date for Ame no Murakumo‘s adult visual novel, which appears to be a nukige, Obscene Medical Records of a Married Nurse. They are planning on releasing this PC title on September 5th and it can currently be pre-ordered here (18+ Only) for $13.45 compared to the standard price of $14.95.
Obscene Medical Records of a Married Nurse is a title that will attract those who like themselves some nurses but also those who prefer NTR and blackmail as the story follows Inoue Umi, an aspiring nurse who is suddenly promoted to head nurse. After nearly causing the death of a patient, she is blackmailed into providing special services in order to save her job.
Viz Media has revealed that they are planning on releasing the entirety of the Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit anime series in one collection that will be available for purchase for both Blu-ray and DVD starting on August 26th.
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit originally aired back in 2007 and was animated by Production I.G. and it was even given a Western release at one point by the now nearly defunct Media Blasters. If the name sounds familiar it is also due to the series spending some time on Toonami back in 2009, though even then the airing of the anime was interrupted often.
As such this is a good chance to pick up the full twenty six episode series in one collection on Blu-ray for $54.97 or on DVD for $44.82. The story of the series is described by Viz as follows:
Young Prince Chagum has been suspected of demonic possession by court advisors who see only one solution: death. But his salvation may lie in the hands of Balsa, the spear-wielding bodyguard from Kanbal, the kingdom across the mountains. Her vow to save eight worthy souls has led her to the imperiled Chagum and into the mystery of the water spirit, a mystical entity that may hold the key to saving millions of lives from drought. Her skill and tenacity are legendary, but can she fend off an entire empire?
Those who have been waiting for the next large visual novel to be released by MangaGamer will be happy to hear that the day that Imouto Paradise! would be released has come and the title is now available for purchase and download for the PC.

As has become something of a standard for news on Danganronpa: Another Episode, here is your notice that the below information will contain some spoilers regarding the events that take place in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
Yesterday we learned thanks to a brief preview that Makoto Naegi, the main heroine’s brother and the protagonist from the first game, as well as Byakuya Togami will be appearing in Danganronpa: Another Episode and today Famitsuhas extended their preview by revealing that the game will feature three difficulty modes and one of them will be for those who simply want to enjoy the storyline. The developers say that the game will feature a “Despair Mode,” “Komaru Mode,” and “Genocide Mode.”
Since unlike the other two games in the series, Danganronpa: Another Episode is a third person shooter, the Despair difficulty will give players the most authentic and despair filled experience while Komaru mode will offer a bit of an easier type of game where Truth Bullets are more plentiful. However for those who simply want to ejnoy the story without fighting too much, players can also select the Genocide Mode which allows the player to nearly always summon the help of Genocide Jill who will be invincinble in this mode.
Currently there are no plans to release Danganronpa: Another Episode in the West but NIS America is planning on releasing the second game in the series within the next couple of weeks. Until then, you can check out some brand new artwork for Another Episode below.
In case the title didn’t warn you ahead of time, then let this be your warning. The new trailer for The Walking Dead Season Two: No Way Back that was released today by Telltale will not only spoil the events that happen in the first season but also many of the events that take place in this season.
As such, you can check it out below if you are prepared to see the emotional journey that Clementine has went through so far as well as a glimpse of what to expect when the finale for Season Two is released next week. It will be released first on PC, Mac, and for North American PlayStation 3s on August 26th while the Xbox 360 and European PSN release will occur on August 27th.
It was recently confirmed that the Mystery Warrior seen in an early trailer and screenshots for Dragon Ball Xenoverse was a custom character, and now more details have been released regarding the amount of depth we can go in creating our our own Dragon Ball heroes or villians and so far it looks very promising. The player first chooses a race from the Dragon Ball universe as a base with Earthling, Saiyan, Namek and Majin being confirmed so far, but more have been promised with Bandai Namco saying all major species will be available as a base for the players’ avatar.Each race will have special attributes, with it being known Saiyans will be able to transform into at least the first stage of Super Saiyan.
Players then select a gender and can then customise their characters physique across many categories including Height, Body Size, Head, Eye Shape, Pupil Shape, Nose, Mouth, and Ear. As you can see from the gallery below, the body types will be very different, with the former Mystery Warrior Saiyan looking rather slim compared to the more buff Saiyan in the pick below.
You can then deck your character out in cool gear with an Upper Costume, Bottom Costume, Gloves, Boots, Accessories and more, with the player being able to alter the colour of all these parts along with their skin colour. Some parts will be earned as you progress through the game.
At the beginning of the story, Time Patrol Trunks summons the player’s Avatar who will have to complete a series of tests. If they are deemed worthy they will then be able to gather with other online players in the futuristic hub city: Toki Toki City, where players can admire each others custom players and challenge people to battles. Bandai Namco also reiterated on its closed beta but didn’t give many details away to it’s English speaking audience. It was revealed on the official Japanese site that two rounds of Beta’s will be happening with the first being restricted to PS3 users with Japanese account and the second being worldwide on PS3. The first phase will be running for 27 hours from September 20 and the second round will last just as long starting on October 4th. The network test has been implemented to assess gameplay balance and mechanics, server load, exploits and that users are enjoying the concept of the game.
We will be covering Dragon Ball Xenoverse extensively when we get a chance to play it at EB Games Expo on October 3rd so keep checking back as we bring you our impressions of the game from the show floor along with all the other updates as they are announced.
