You would think that it would be impossible to capture the smell of an anime character and bring that scent into real life, but if they can do it with Attack on Titan then they can do it with Doraemon.

The popular children’s franchise now has four room fragrances that are based around the characters Gian, Nobita, Suneo and Shizuka-chan, the scents are supposed to capture the very essence of each characters room. Nobita has a woody smell to his fragrance whilst Shizuka-chan fills your room with flowery notes; Gian and Suneo have unique descriptions as their scents represent both an expensive, classy room (Suneo) and a peaceful corner room (Gian).

If you are curious as to what these smell like you can get them from fashion brand PIITs’ online store, each bottle will cost around 4,104 yen ($40USD). Let us know what you think about these room fragrances, and what other anime perfumes you would like to see, by leaving a comment down below.

News has come through that 2K Games will be delaying their release of the next installment in the WWE 2K series from its usual October release window. Instead WWE 2K15 is scheduled for an early 2015 release of roughly March 2015, which would coincide with Wrestlemania 31.

So far very little detail has been revealed on the game other than the fact that development will be completely handled by Visual Concepts, the developer behind the NBA 2K series. This will be the first entirely developed WWE 2K game from Visual Concepts and as such we can likely expect some major shakeups with the game.

While no news has come through on what will replace the 30 Years of Wrestlemania mode, rumour has it that there could potentially by a ‘My Career’ mode similar to that in past WWE games and that featured currently in the NBA 2K series, with the player starting in the developmental territory of NXT and working their way up to the main roster and ultimately to championship glory.

Stay tuned for further information on the upcoming WWE 2K15 as it comes to light.

dark-souls-wolf-sword

Games with Gold has been criticized heavily and has paled in comparison to PlayStation Plus since it was launched. Well today Microsoft is looking to step things up a bit with their service as they have announced that Games with Gold is finally making the jump to the Xbox One starting in June.

The first Games with Gold for the Xbox One will be Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Halo: Spartan Assault. Also to commemorate the one-year anniversary for Games with Gold, there will be three games given away instead of the standard two. These free titles will be Dark Souls, Charlie Murder, and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.

Microsoft removes Gold requirement for Netflix and other apps

Xbox-One-Home-01

One of the drawbacks about watching services such as Netflix or Hulu Plus on the Xbox One or 360 was the fact that to watch these services you not only needed to be subscribed to that service but you also had to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.

This was unfortunate as it forced users to pay at least two subscriptions just to use one service, but now Microsoft is dropping that requirement. Starting in June numerous apps will be available for free users and the full statement regarding the apps can be read below:

Coming in June, anyone with an Xbox will be able to access popular entertainment experiences – whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership. This includes great gaming apps like Machinima, Twitch and Upload, popular video services like Netflix, Univision Deportes, GoPro, Red Bull TV and HBO GO, sports experiences like the NFL app for Xbox One, MLB.TV, NBA Game Time, NHL Game Center and more.
