To acknowledge the popular manga being in publication for ten years a special art exhibition was created last year and has been shown throughout Japan, the final display of the exhibition will be held in August at the Mitsukoshi department store in Sendai.

Over 200 of mangaka Yuki Midorikawas’ illustrations will be showcased; most of the original artwork will be based around the Natsume series, but other pieces from her previous works will also be included. The exhibition will also contain a documented display of Midorikawas’ work progress, her various art supplies, rough drafts and the chance to purchase limited edition Natsume merchandise.

Today Bethesda didn’t have any major reveal for E3, but they did take a page out of Square Enix’s book. I’m talking about announcing an announcement that will happen at a future event, but at least they are going a step beyond that by actually releasing a teaser trailer and letting us know what that announcement will be.

They have revealed that they will be fully revealing the remake of DOOM at QuakeCon 2014 which runs from July 17th to July 20th. You can check out the teaser trailer below and expect more news on the title next month.

Recently MangaGamer revealed that they have partnered with two new companies, called Ame no Murakumo and Appetite, to release four of their PC games in English sometime in the future. It is worth noting that although these are two seperate companies, they still work together to create games and as such two games from each branch will be localized, all of which are for Adults Only and appear to be nukige. Now before we say what titles are being localized, it is worth noting that “for various reasons” all of these games will be released with mosaic censorship.

The first of these games is from Ame no Murakumo and it is called Hypno-Training My Mother and Sister. Unlike the rest of the games this one already has a release date of June 20th and it happens to focus on incest and hypnotism. Later in the year, also from Ame no Murakumo, comes the NTR focused nurse game Obscene Medical Records of a Married Nurse. The two titles from Apetite happen to be Secret Sorrow of the Siblings, which is actually an NTR title involving incest, and Forbidden Love with My Wife’s Sister which is self explanatory.

The folks at Good Feel love some yarn. After the successful Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Yoshi is next up to get a makeover from the developer, and after a good wait – Yoshi’s Woolly World looks quite amazing. This title will play a bit like Yoshi’s Island, but with yarn and cloth stitched into the environment, with an emphasis on exploration.

We seen this title during last E3, but it was just an image and now we have a clearer picture with the E3 trailer of just what to expect. Shy Guys, Yoshi, multiplayer and more, and yes, this is something we have been needing to see on the Wii U to show off some more of those classic characters in new ways. Watch the clip below and become enchanted.

At the Nintendo Treehouse event at E3 2014, Nintendo and Monolith Soft showcased roughly 35 minutes of gameplay for the show-stealing Xenoblade Chronicles X, the open world action JRPG exclusive to the Wii U.

The gameplay video details the early stages of the story along with a great detail of the combat and exploration mechanics. The game also features detailed character customization. The story revolves around a ruined Earth and the need for humanity to terraform a new planet.

Xenoblade Chronicles X, while very similar in name to Wii game Xenoblade Chronicles, is considered a spiritual successor of sorts, being part of the same franchise but not exactly continuing that game’s story or world. Take a look at the video below and see for yourself.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Announced for the Wii U

kirby-and-the-rainbow-curse

Kirby has always been one of those franchises that has always adapted itself for spin-offs. One of the most underrated Nintendo DS titles that was also a spin-off of the franchise was Kirby’s Canvas Curse, which let players use the stylus to control a ball-form Kirby around a beautiful world.

Today at E3, what felt like the impossible happened as Nintendo announced Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for the Wii U, which will be a sequel to the little gem. This time, Kirby has new abilities and the world seems to be made of clay, as you can see in the trailer below. Release date isn’t until 2015 on this one, but keep an ear out as we’re sure to see more as the months roll on. You can play some Triple Deluxe while you wait however, as it is certainly worth checking out.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can, and in Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes that is just about anything. In the midst of all the E3 excitement going on this week, Disney have sneakily revealed a brand new Play Set for their upcoming game.

Based on the current Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, the Spider-Man play set features a slew of familiar cast and characters and a plot that involves Normal Osborn (AKA the Green Goblin) trying to clone the Venom Symbiote (and pretty much creating Carnage in the process). The play set includes everybody’s favourite wall-crawler, Nick Fury, Nova, Iron Fist, and Venom. A few other characters make appearances in the recently revealed trailer, but aren’t confirmed as playable characters such as; Green Goblin, Mysterio and Doctor Octopus.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Announced for PS4 and Xbox One

Is that you Ace? It’s been far too long.

You heard right Final Fantasy fans, the long awaited Type-0 will indeed be gracing Western shores sometime in the future. Originally released for the PSP back in 2011, the game also saw a divergence from its connection with the XIII series in the same way that XV has…though still no news on that game at the moment. Damn. Regardless, we will finally be receiving what we have been wishing for the past 3 years: localisation. So start the victory fanfare and prepare yourself for the Final Fantasy game with the highest number of fans who have never actually played the game.

Though no specifics have been given about the release date for Type-0, I think we can all agree that this is a step in the right direction. Though announced to be seeing a release on the PS Vita in addition to the PS4 and Xbox One, a swift retraction noted that the PS4 will be the only Sony console to net this Square Enix title. Unfortunate, but as we’ve all been so painfully aware these past few years: Beggars can’t be choosers.
