ATLUS’ E3 2014 Video Game Showcase Lineup Announced

Persona-4-Dancing-All-Night-Screenshot-01

ATLUS – the Japanese video game juggernaut famous for the “Shin Megami Tensei” series alongside games like “Catherine” and “Dragon’s Crown” – have today released their video game showcase lineup for the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo or, as it is mostly commonly known as; E3. The video game developer, publisher and distributor has a pretty amazing record when it comes to its E3 presence. With visually pleasing booth aesthetics and a constant flow of amazing game releases, it’s certainly hard to not give ATLUS the attention it deserves.

This year’s lineup is just as good if not better than what we’ve seen in the past and it is as follows:

  • Abyss Odyssey (PS3, 360, PC)
  • Citizens of Earth (PS4, Wii U, PC, 3DS, PS Vita)
  • Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (PS3, 360)
  • Persona 4: Dancing All Night (PS Vita)
  • Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (3DS)
  • Unannounced Third-Party Title (PS4, PS Vita, PC)
The “Persona” franchise is, once again, acting as the “tent-pole” for ATLUS this year with half the list being populated by new games of the series. That’s not to say “Abyss Odyssey” and “Citizens Of Earth” isn’t going to get as much of the spotlight as the others though. ATLUS also revealed the design for this year’s badge inserts. Last year it was “Dragon’s Crown” who snagged it’s spot on the insert and the year before that it was “Catherine” but this year it seems as though ATLUS have decided to go “all out” with their “Persona” promotions because occupying both the front and the back of the insert is our friend Teddie.

ATLUS-E3-2014-Badge-Insert-01

Yes, the mascot of “Persona 4” will be plastered across this year’s insert with the front promoting “Persona 4: Dancing All Night” and the back promoting “Persona Q: Shadow Of The Labyrinth“.  Six brilliant games and another to be announced at a later date. ATLUS has, once again, brought out the big guns to make as massive an impact as possible and, if previous years are anything to go by, that’s exactly what is going to happen.

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is exclusive to the 3DS and introduces fantastical elements to series with the inclusion of Harvest Sprites, mythical creatures who along with the Harvest Goddess require your assistance in restoring all 4 Seasons to the valley all the while protecting it against the King of the Underworld. This is of course a major departure from the series norm, but it may just be a positive new direction for this franchise.

alphadia-genesis-banner-01

As for their other headlining title, Alphadia Genesis, the game will be exclusive to the Wii U and boasts a deep story which is both rich with detail and compellingly complex. It follows the characters Fray and Colone as they journey through the world of Alphadia Genesis and uncover truths about both the world and themselves.

Game of Thrones fans fix Oberyn vs Mountain ending

game-of-thrones-viper-vs-mountain
Game of Thrones fans have been emotionally destroyed by the tragic ending to the 8th episode of Season 4 of the TV series ‘The Mountain and The Viper’. The episode saw the epic confrontation between the heroic Oberyn Martell and the man who raped and murdered his sister The Mountain.

After that fight not exactly going the way fans of the series would have liked, they have pooled together all of their creative talents to fix the ending and boy oh boy is it fixed. You can check out the fixed ending to Oberyn vs Mountain in the video below.

It really goes to show that if the brutal tragedies inherent to Game of Thrones are able to be fixed by it, then there really in’t anything that couldn’t be made better by the inclusion of Tina Turner’s ‘Simply The Best’.

Sailor Moon Crystal Anime Trailer Released

Sailor-Moon-Crystal-Promotional-Image-Cropped-01

Happy days! It is finally here; an actual “Sailor Moon Crystal” anime trailer! Toei Animation, through the official “Sailor Moon Crystal” anime website, today begun streaming the first trailer for the soon to be released anime series reboot.

The original anime was released all the way back in 1992 to one hell of an incredible reception and, to this day, there are still fans of the old-school series running about. That’s why it is so shocking to think that it has taken Toei this long to bring the series back for one more run though, in saying that…a lot of people are just glad it is coming back at all.

Sailor-Moon-Crystal-Promotional-Image-Cropped-02

The new series – confirmed as a reboot of the original – is set to begin its air in Japan on the 5th of July which means it’s just under a month away. Luckily for all Western audiences, Crunchyroll recently announced that they have acquired the streaming rights to the series and will begin its broadcast of the new anime the same day as Japan.

This means we wont be waiting in anticipation for any longer than we have to and that is simply fantastic! The “Sailor Moon Crystal” anime trailer can be seen below in our featured video section so head down there now to check it out, but don’t forget to hit up our comments section just under that to share your excitement.

Senran Kagura Bon Appétit confirmed for North American release

senran-kagura-bon-apetit-logo

It looks like that leak earlier this week turned out to be true as XSEED has announced that their E3 line-up this year will include Senran Kagura Bon Appétit, the cooking rhythm game spin-off from the Senran Kagura series. When first released in Japan Dekamori Senran Kagura, as it was called there, was released in three separate parts and it looks like XSEED is planning something similar.

senran-kagura-bon-apetit-screenshot-02

I say this because when they listed the title, they are planning on giving it a digital only release, which was the same for Japan, sometime this Winter but they went on to say that there will be ten girls to choose from, with 22 total if you include additional DLC.

senran-kagura-bon-apetit-screenshot-01

As you can see a few screenshots accompanied this announcement and XSEED themselves describe the game as such:

Revealed for the first time, this rhythm spin-off of the ninja ‘busty brawler’ series, Senran Kagura, features cooking battles rather than shinobi showdowns. The emphasis is on outrageous humor, delicious food and plenty of eye candy. Culinary warfare is carried out through an array of rhythm battles—tap the correct buttons in time with the beat to rack up combos and determine the size and quality of the resulting dish. With 10 girls to choose from (22 when including additional DLC), players are challenged to create the ultimate Super Dish and unlock a special feast for the eyes.

ATLUS today released two new trailers for their upcoming battle brawler “Persona 4 Arena Ultimax” and they just so happen to showcase two characters we’ve seen before but won’t be unhappy to see again; Yosuke Hanamura and Yukiko Amagi of “Persona 4”.

One of them is an oriental beauty with a heart of pure gold and the other, well…he’s Yosuke. ATLUS has been absolutely smashing it this week with a string of game and trailer releases that, right now, are putting the rest to shame. The latest just so happens to show the return of two “Persona 4 Arena” alumni.

Persona-Arena-4-Ultimax-Yukiko-Trailer-Screenshot-01

Being part of the main cast in the first “Persona 4 Arena” game, it’s no surprise that they’re making a return for the “Ultimax” edition but what is surprising is that they’re looking even cooler than they did before!

Look, enough out of me, just below you’ll be able to see both of the new character trailers so head down there now to give them a watch and don’t forget to hit up our comments section show your excitement for the upcoming game. “Persona 4 Arena Ultimax” is set for a Western release sometime this Fall/Autumn on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
