Back when Idea Factory opened up their international branch in North America I believedthat it might make a few of their titles a bit easier to see in the West, especially a few of the more risque titles such as Monster Monpiece and it looks like all signs may be pointing towards that prediction coming true.
Not only has Idea Factory International’s official website provided us with four English screenshots of Monster Monpiece but a PEGI listing, originally found by NeoGAF, has also appeared for the game which rates the game for anyone twelve years or older. Now at the moment no actual localization has been announced as of yet, but Vita fans can only hope. For now, have an English description of the game, also from Idea Factory’s website:
God’s hammer struck twice, punishing the of world of Yafaniel below…
In the world of Yafaniel, humans and an unusual species called “monster girls” coexist.
May Esperio, an Academy student from Kunaguva, is training hard to become a “master” of monster girls with her best friends, Elza and Karen.
However, after an encounter with a mysterious stranger, Elza became “Lost”, a victim of a strange affliction that plagues both humans and monster girls.
Elza and the monster girls in her service have begun stealing the Magus Quartzes that are held in each of Yafaniel’s major cities.
May decides to travel the world pursuing Elza in an attempt to cure her. However, May knows that if she fails to save Elza, the whole world may be destroyed!
As you may know, Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars involves players traveling through dungeons with a beautiful girl and their star children to fight against the enemies inside. Well to make those star children players must first improve their relationship with any of the seven heroines that are in the game.
Today Atlus USA has chosen to reveal the names and some details about all seven of the heroines in the game, including a hint at their unique personality traits that players will need to understand so they can improve their relationship. Learn more about the girls below and if you have a decent connection, you can check out their full transformation sequences here.
Chloe
Chloe is the older sister of your new friend Chlotz, and only a year older than your character. Her abilities are so exceptional that she works as an instructor at the Academy. Chloe uses a Remote Turret to perforate her opponents.
Ellie
Ellie is a first-year student who’s very energetic and often cheers on those around her. Though she looks cute and young, she’s very mature and perceptive. Ellie uses a magical staff called a Summoning Gun to dish out serious magic damage.
Feene
Feene is an earnest, polite third-year student. She is considered one of the strongest Disciples, and has already seen action on the front lines. Her formidable Gunblade has seen its fair share of battles as well.
Fuuko
Fuuko is the first female student that you’ll meet. She is bright and amicable, and quick to make friends. She sees herself as a very down-to-earth kind of person. Fuuko uses her Dual Pistols in dungeons with deadly accuracy.
Narika
The vice representative of your class. She is shy and reserved, without much self-confidence, but has a good heart and is very kind to others. Her Bowgun speaks differently about her – it packs a huge punch to monsters.
Serina
Despite her diminutive size, she is actually a third-year Disciple with incredible power. She has a good heart, but often tries to keep her true feelings hidden. Her Kick Gun is an incredible hybrid of fashion-forward footwear and death-dealing.
Torri
As a result of being raised in a research facility, Torri is very naïve about the outside world and usually believes anything she’s told. Torri materializes a powerful gatling gun to obliterate anything in her path.
Since it’s launch, the game has evolved with the help of four million registered users. They’ve provided time and feedback that will help shape the experience delivered to the community.
Said Ubisoft Producer Corey Facteau,
“Bringing Ghost Recon Online to Steam has been our goal since the game’s inception. We took the time necessary to reach a quality level that can go head to head with the top online games available today before releasing on Steam. As the top shooter for gamers who enjoy team gameplay, we have also seen our audience expand to include MOBA fans, who comprise fifty percent of our user base. To ensure a seamless transition to the new platform, we will use the Early Access program to fine tune the Ghost Recon Online experience before unleashing the game to the rest of the world.”

Two game developers James and Joar have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for their upcoming survival platformerRain World. Players will control a slugcat attempting to survive in a harsh land batted by deadly rains. The slugcat must gather enough food while the weather is fair in order to hibernate through the next rain cycle. Players will need to hunt smaller creatures while avoiding deadly predators looking to also stock on up on much needed calories.
The team has raised half of their required funds in 24 hours of launching their campaign. They are seeking at least $25,000 to hire a coder, add new art assets, improve AI, create a single player campaign, port the game to platforms beyond Mac/Windows, and put the game through proper testing for quality control purposes. All funds beyond the requested amount will help James and Joar increase the size of Rain World. The pair hope to release the game this fall. Check out the game on Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight.
After almost a year and half of development since the end of their wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, Stoic Studio and Versus Evil has released their Viking epic The Banner Saga on Steam. The turn based strategy RPG changes and grows based on the decisions of the player as they seek to save their people. The animation style draws inspiration from classic Disney animated films. The music features acclaimed composer Austin Wintory, the Dallas Winds orchestra, Peter Hollens, Malukah, and Taylor Davis. The final three performers have all gained fame through their popular YouTube channels.
The Banner Saga is available now at retailersfor $24.99 USD.

The soundtrack carries a massive 270 tunes from the games, each adapted and orchestrated especially for this release.

Following their own lead, 2014 will also see the music of Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, Black and White and Black 2 and White 2 net a soundtrack release. So what are you waiting for? Go out and listen to some good old fashioned video game music. You still gotta catch ’em all.
TECMO KOEI EUROPE ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE AND PRE-ORDER BONUSES FOR TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS
Hertfordshire, 14/01/14– Tecmo Koei Europe is pleased to announce that the upcoming title ‘Toukiden: The Age of Demons’, developed for the PlayStation®Vita handheld system will be released across Europe on the 14th February 2014.
Following a ground breaking success in Japan, with sales exceeding 500,000 units (a feat all the more impressive for an original IP) Toukiden: The Age of Demons is bringing the fight for survival to the west.
Set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of Japan, Toukiden tells the tale of humanity’s last stand for survival. When monstrous demons (Oni) of varying strength and size invaded the world through cracks in space and time and started attacking humans, the only opposition came from the Slayers; a caste that has always secretly protected mankind from their murderous intent.
Eight years after time warped and Oni appeared, a brave young Slayer embarks on a journey to thin the numbers of the enemy and help humanity survive. Players take the role of this young warrior and can fully customise their characters, weapons and armour and form a group of hunters to take down the destructive Oni.
This visually stunning game boasts an extensive character creation mode, and six different weapon types, each of which can be forged and upgraded to the player’s preferences, while it also features 200 characters based on both fictional and historical Japanese figures, whose souls help players strengthen their team and defeat their enemies.
To aid Slayers in the beginning of their journey Tecmo Koei Europe announced a series of in game pre-order bonuses. Specifically, those who pre-order Toukiden through the Playstation Network® will receive the Mitama of Momotaro, a warrior’s soul that will strengthen the player’s skill, along with a piece of armour (cat ears). Furthermore, there will be two additional pre-order DLC packs, one including the Mitama of Niijima Yae and a piece of armour (fox mask) and one including two extra mission collections. These will be available through Game, Amazon and independent retailers through Centresoft.
