-

August 19, 2014

Have you been playing Magic 2015 – Duels of the Planeswalkers and think you are ready for the big leagues? Well you are in luck! This weekend, Sydney will play host to a Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix. For those who aren’t quite sure what that is all about, let me share the good word!

The Grand Prix is an event that anyone can participate in, and is a way for players to experience Magic on a whole other level. This isn’t just sitting around the kitchen table with your buddies, it is time for some serious strategy. In addition to the cash prizes available (totalling $35,000) there are also side-events running over all three days, as well as artists as well as just about every vendor in the country setting up shop to sell their wares. For a full run-down of the tournament schedule, click here. Also, if you aren’t that confident in your abilities, then the event will also have a dedicated “Learn to Play” area so you don’t need to feel daunted.

The Grand Prix really is THE place to be if you are a Magic: The Gathering fan, and I know I’ll be there slinging spells with the best of them (and getting beat more often than not, I assure you). Will you be heading there? Let us know in the comments below and remember to stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Magic: The Gathering news as it becomes available.

Curve Digital have formed an alliance with Square Enix to bring a console conversion of their stealth platform game, Stealth Inc., to Japan on Playstation 4.

Jason Perkins, Curve Digital Managing Director, stated “We’ve been interested in bringing Stealth Inc to Japan ever since E3 last year, when we had a really positive response from the Japanese press. As a publisher ourselves, we know how important understanding local markets can be, and working together with SQUARE ENIX allows us to take advantage of their years of expertise in Japan.”

Stealth Inc. is set to be released in Japan by the end of August, with both the original edition on PS3 and PS Vita and the ‘Ultimate Edition’ on PS4; including the DLC packs, The Teleporter Chambers and The Lost Clones.

Check out the awesome screenshots from Stealth Inc. Ultimate Edition below and stay tuned with Capsule Computers for more news regarding Curve Digital and Square Enix.

Disney Announces new Disney Infinity 2.0 Toy Box Pack

Back a few weeks ago, american-based retailer Walmart leaked a few new figures and Play Sets for Disney’s upcoming Disney Infinity 2.0. Since then, many of these have been confirmed as being real, with the exception of a mysterious pack that was titled “Disney Infinity 2.0: Disney Originals.” Well we now have official word that the Disney Originals pack is indeed real, and gives players a little bit of choice. The set is Toy Box-centric and instead of the Avengers figurines and Play Set Piece, those who grab this set will get:

The Disney Infinity 2.0 video game (this is the same game that comes with the Marvel Super Heroes Starter Set)
Disney Infinity 2.0 base
2x Disney Originals Figures: Merida and Stitch
2x Disney Originals “Toy Box Game Discs” – Stitch’s Tropical Rescue and Brave Forest Siege
1x poster

The boxart for the Disney Originals Set (which you can see above) also gives away a little secret: Sitting above Aladdin are Hiro and Baymax, the stars of Disney’s upcoming animated feature: Big Hero 6. It wasn’t a very well kept secret that the pair would be included in the game (there was even a giant statue of Baymax’s Infinity figure at this year’s Comic-Con) but their inclusion on the box along with the rest of the Disney Originals basically confirms it.

So while there is one fewer figurine and no Play Set piece, players get a guaranteed two Toy Box Game Discs, which create incredible full-fledged gaming experiences right there inside the Toy Box. Not only that but it is a fair bit cheaper with an RRP of $79.95, but at the same time the set releases a month later on November 6th. So since there are now two VERY different starter sets for Disney Infinity 2.0, which one will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments below and remember to stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Disney news as it becomes available.

Blue Exorcist’s author’s short-stories to be released in single volume collection

Kazue Kato might be best known for his best selling Blue Exorcist manga series but he has also been releasing some smaller things on the side and it looks like Viz Media is putting these little shorts into one standalone volume. Today the company announced that they will be collecting these shorts into a single volume called Time Killers that will be released on September 2nd.

This release will be available at retailers for the price of $14.99 where it will be published under the Shonen Jump label and come with thirteen pages of full-color artwork and a fold-out, full-color gatefold poster as well as digitally where it will only be priced at $10.99 and can be purchased not only through Viz’s manga app on iOS and Android but through numerous digital outlets such as comiXology, Kindle, and more.

It is worth noting that this is a short story collection so there is no running theme in the release but it does feature Kazue Kato’s first work, Boku to Usagi (Me and the Rabbit), as well as stories and designs that would eventually be worked into the Blue Exorcist manga.

Blood Lad’s first English dub clip focuses on Staz

While we have been given a preview of what Blood Lad‘s English dub will sound like before, today was the first time that Viz Media released a full English clip for the series. The clip is taken from the very first episode and focuses almost entirely on Staz, who is voiced by Bryce Papenbrook, as he faces off against an enemy, though some minor side-character voices are also heard.

As with their most recent series releases, Viz Media is going to be offering a Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack that comes with all ten episodes as well as the OVA, a 96 page color booklet, a chipboard slip case, and various digital bonuses as well as a basic DVD version that only includes the series and the OVA. Both of these releases will be available for purchase starting on September 2nd.

A “shocking” Pokemon announcement to be made next week

It appears that a brand new Pokemon game is on the way but this one is promising to be “shocking” as announced by the Pokemon Company. They have said that the announcement will be made in Japan on August 26th during a Famitsu special that will be aired live on Niconico at 22:00 Japan time.

Other than the fact that it will shock fans, no details for the game were announced. There are many potential titles that have been rumored in the past only for nothing to officially be announced by Nintendo, such as a title involving Pikachu as a detective or Pokken Fighters. One thing that we can assume about the announcement is that it will be a spin-off from the main series and hopefully it might even be a Wii U title.
