For the first time ever, Kokonoe will be playing a bigger role in the Blazblue series outside of a story character. It has been revealed by Famitsu that Kokonoe will be a playable character in Blazblue: Chronophantasma if you feel like dropping a bit of extra cash on her.
While no price was announced for her at this time, a few screenshots of Kokonoe in action were released and can be seen below. She is described as a fast fighter who uses various tools and mechs in battle. Currently Blazblue: Chronophantasma is set for release in Japan on October 24th while Aksys Gamesis planning an English release sometime early in 2014.
As we already know, Nippon Ichi Software is currently working on bringing an enhanced version of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten to the PlayStation Vita and while we know when the game will be released in Japan, January 30, 2014, we have yet to see how the game will look on the Vita.
Well today the company has released the game’s first trailer and in it we see… nothing. Considering this isn’t the first Disgaea title to be released on the Vita, we likely will see Disgaea 4 Return featuring all of the DLC for its console counterpart and extra storylines included in the release. Anyways, at the moment there is no word about NIS America localizing Disgaea 4 Return but it may as well be a forgone conclusion at this point.
20 years on from the release of the original Superfrog for the Amiga, Team 17 are reinventing one of their first ever games for PC, Mac and Linux. Their new 2D platformer, Superfrog HD, is making its return with sleek, updated graphics and new life breathed into a classic game. Otherwise famous for the squeaky bloodfest known as the Worms series, Team 17 have a tremendous track record of producing fun, quirky games across multiple platforms.
This version comes just a little bit after the PSN release of the title, and now when it is released on the PC, Superfrog HD will be available to purchase for £6.99 in the UK, €8.99 in Europe, and $9.99 in the USA.
Compile Heart has posted the latest trailer for upcoming RPG Fairy Fencer F, showcasing the main character Fang as he chats with fellow companions, unleashes some outrageous combos and bathes with Shalman. Some friendly bromance can never hurt, right?
More importantly we get a better look at the game’s user interface and the effects of the Fencer weapons with their ability to transform the player, dishing out some heavy damage in the process.
Fairy Fencer F is the first of Compile Heart’s new Galapagos brand of RPG games catered for Japanese gamers. The PlayStation 3 exclusive is landing on October 10 in Japan, with no word yet of an overseas release. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the game’s opening movie that was revealed last week.
The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu just revealed that there will be an upcoming, free-to-play SoulCalibur game coming to the PlayStation3. The game is titled SoulCalibur: Lost Swords and it will be published by Namco Bandai. The only playable characters that have been announced for the game are Siegfried and Mitsurugi who are, pretty much, a given for any Soul Calibur game.
There are actually no specifics regarding in-game purchases or any other ways the game intends to make money, we can assume though that like Tekken Revolution and Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, there will be a limit to how long you can play for, you may possibly have to pay for more “energy” so that you can continue playing, it is so far unknown. Even the release date is vague; Namco Bandai have just stated that it is planned for release later this year. Hopefully there’s going to be a great deal of information and news released within the coming months so keep your eyes on the site for that.
Deep Silver and 4A Games announced today that they’ve finally released a version of Metro: Last Light for the Mac crowd. The game is being released via Steam, with an App Store release set to follow it soon. They’re also working on a Linux version of the game to be released later this year.
Steam will support Steam Play for the game, meaning if you own it on any platform you will automatically be able to play it on the other platforms you own. The Mac and Linux versions of the game will also receive the same DLC packages as the PC and console versions with the Tower Pack and Faction Pack DLC being available at launch.
For more information, you can check out their official site here or head to Steam to grab the game.

The first stop is in Broome and is running as early as September 17.
Fans of anime can also check out A Boy Called H and Arriety as well as a large selection of other Japanese films.

In Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 those who got the first copies of the game also received a special download code allowing Naruto to dress in the iconic orange gi of Goku. In the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, Goku will be getting a similar treatment, being able to wear the Sage Mode outfit Naruto wears in the anime. In addition, the outfit will also give Goku some unique movements that match Naruto’s ability. Similar to Storm 3, the outfit will only be available to those who pick up the game at the beginning of its release and will come as a download code. The latest scan also confirmed the game would have a unique animated opening featuring battles of breakneck speeds and all of the characters, even the new Super Saiyan God.
This is an interesting move as no normal alternate oufits for characters have been announced for the game yet, which has led to some dissapointment as characters wear the incorrect outfits during certain parts of the story, something that is sure to bug any true fan. The game was also confirmed to be releasing in 2014 as opposed to this year, which means 2013 is the first year that a main console DBZ game will not be released since 2001. Battle of Z is coming to PS3, Xbox 360 in retail form and as a digital version on the PS Vita. We are expecting a huge flood of news about Battle of Z during the Tokyo Game Show which begins on the 19th, so stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all your latest Battle of Z info.
