Twilight Princess’ Agitha and original character Lana revealed for Hyrule Warriors

June 24, 2014

Earlier today we wrote about how Tecmo Koei and Nintendo were releasing gameplay clips of Hyrule Warriors showing off each of the weapons the fighters will have access to and now they have released a new trailer showing Impa, the Commanding Officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard, wielding a large sword.

However that isn’t the biggest news, as it has been revealed by Famitsu that two new playable characters will be available in Hyrule Warriors. One we are familiar with, or at least those who played Twilight Princess, as the bug lover Agitha, and another who is called Lana. Gematsu was able to learn that Lana is an original character that is a witch who that uses magic books in battle and also create barriers to shove aside enemies. We will know more once the official announcement for these two characters are made.

Ar no Surge Plus announced for the PS Vita

You may remember a game from a few years ago called Ciel no Surge where players had to help the amnesiac girl Ion. Well that game received a sequel of sorts called Ar no Surge for the PlayStation 3 and while neither of these games were ever given a chance in the West, it seems like Tecmo Koei and Gust are not done with the series yet. Today it has been revealed in Famitsu magazine, courtesy of Hokanko, that Gust is creating an enhanced version of Ar no Surge for release on the PS Vita called Ar no Surge Plus.

Ar no Surge Plus, a reworked version of the game that includes new costumes and Vita touch features, is going to be released on October 2nd in Japan alongside an offline version of Ciel no Surge that has supposedly been reprogrammed from scratch. Will this happen? Well Tecmo Koei Europe seems interested according to the Tweet below, so make sure to let them know.

“@Sterkenburg0: @tecmokoeieurope Is there any hope left for Ciel nosurge and Ar nosurge?” — How many of our #TKfamily wishes for this one?

Atlus likely teasing new Etrian Odyssey with teaser site

Atlus has just published Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth in Japan and it looks like they are already about to announce a new game. A teaser site simply called ‘This is not Broccoli‘ has been created by Atlus and the page consists of a gigantic tree that players must click a button to climb up.

As they climb a few colored orbs appear and once you reach the 10,000 meter mark the orbs form 2DX and the words Coming Soon appear under said orbs. Thanks to the font choices as well as the tree theme, it is evident that Atlus is probably teasing a new Etrian Odyssey game and going from the orbs, it might be a remake of the second game in the series, Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard. So we can likely expect the announcement of Etrian Odyssey 2DX sometime in the future.

Today some new screenshots for Dragon Ball: Xenoverse were released by Bandai Namco and in it we see both Future Trunks and a Mysterious Warrior who Bandai Namco describes as someone from the Future. In these screenshots we see what looks like two on two battles and it is worth noting that the way that Trunks is being shown is the exact same as how he looked in the ‘Dragon Ball Online’ MMO as Time Patrol Trunks.

Considering Dragon Ball: Xenoverse will allow the player to fight through multiple famous battles in the series’ history, and it looks like the mystery fighter is wearing various articles of clothing from other warriors, it seems players will be traveling back in time, though why they must is still a mystery.
