Many of us are familiar with Shantae and it looks like if WayForward has their way, we’ll be seeing a brand new HD version of Shantae in October 2014. The company has launched a Kickstarter for the game called Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and they are currently seeking $400,000 in funding.
If they meet their goal the game will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Steam upon completion. The game will still star the half-genie, half human, girl named Shantae and after awaking from a deep sleep, they must control her as she navigates through multiple chapters and encounters numerous enemies. The Kickstarter can be found here. At the time of this writing there are still 28 days left with $134,997 currently pledged.

The Trigger-produced Anime series has yet to be released yet it has just been announced through the October Issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Young Ace Magazine that a Manga adaptation for the, so far unreleased, AnimeKill La Kill will be launching with it’s first chapter in the next issue of the magazine which will be on the 4th of October. The Manga will be following the same story as the Anime, obviously with slight differences which is practically the norm for this kind of thing, and will be drawn by artist Ryou Akizuki famous for Asura Cryin’ and Uchuu no Stellvia.
For those of you that are unaware of Kill La Kill, the Official Synopsis of the series is as follows:
The story is set on a high school that the student council president Satsuki Kiryūin rules by force. Wielding a giant Basami scissors sword, the wandering transfer student Ryūko Matoi brings about upheaval on the campus. Ryūko searches for the mysterious figure who caused her father’s death, but confronting her are the student council’s “four divine kings.” Fortunately, Ryūko is aided by a talking sailor uniform who tells her, “Wear me. When I am worn by you, this power will become manifest.”
It is made by the same legendary team that previously created the Anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, to fans of that series much like myself that in itself means that Kill La Kill is going to be an action-driven, crazy-storied, mental-nuke of an Anime (and now Manga) that will prove to impress on all fronts. We’re all very excited for it’s release in October, both the Anime and the Manga. Stay tuned for all news and information to be released in the coming weeks.
This game has been a fairly big topic lately, at least it has been here on the Anime side of Capsule Computers, we’re all wondering what type of game it will be and we’re all trying our best a guessing what it should be like and letting everyone else know why our ideas are the best for it. Bessatsu Shonen Magazine had a small preview for the game in it’s latest issue so now we have some screenshots from the game itself and it is looking really nice! The Attack On Titan 3DS game, which so far has gone unnamed, looks fairly cinematic and seems to keep to the same style as the anime series in it’s aesthetics.
Screenshots from the much-anticipated game.
The game is being developed by Spike Chunsoft (Danganronpa: Trigger happy Havoc, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: gates To Infinity) and is said to have a Story Mode wherein which the players will be able to recreate scenes from the Anime and Manga series with Eren as the lead, you’ll fight alongside other soldiers and main characters as you take down the Titans one by one. The development team boast that players will be overwhelmed with the action and breathtaking sense of speed within the game, let’s just hope they deliver considering the Anime has already raised such a high bar.
The “3D Maneuver Action Game“, as it’s been put, will have different scenarios within the game, for example; scenarios where the player must race to the aid of a fellow soldier as he or she is in the grasp of a Titan, the player must dash to the enemy and cut of their arms therefore freeing the captured soldier. The game is set to “ship” for the 3DS sometime later this year but as of right now this is literally all the information we have so keep an eye on the site for any and all news and information to be released.
Warner Bros. Interactive alongside DC Entertainment have just released the next behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming game Infinite Crisis. Developed by Turbine (the creators of The Lord Of The Rings Online), Infinite Crisis puts you in the shoes of your favourite DC characters as you duke it out with others MOBA-style (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). The game’s characters span across the highly extensive DC Multiverse and we can see through the newly released video that the development crew really set their hearts on doing these characters justice, not just for them to be proud of but also for the DC fans everywhere to be able to sit back and enjoy whilst also being pleased with the turnout of their favourite heroes. This game looks like it is going to become a huge hit among MOBA game fans and fans of DC comics alike. Head down below to see the Behind-The-Scenes Trailer for Infinite Crisis and don’t forget to hit up our comments section and let us know what you think.
Ubisoft Australia has decided to make use of their new content studio Drifter to give something back to the fans in the form of a contest. The kind of contest that not only celebrates Ubisoft’s list of great characters, but let’s fans make their own. Working with Heckler, Ubisoft Australia and Drifter have set up a website where fans can create a full designed character from armor, to weapons, to other additions.
So, after fans have made their best creations winners will be chosen weekly, where winners will receive the latest Ubisoft games for the console of their choice, and monthly, where winners will also get 3D printed model of their character, for the next 6 months. Though as this from Ubisoft Australia, only residents from Australia and New Zealand will be eligible to win, but anyone can still make a character.
Those wanting to check out the contest and see about making their own characters can head over to the official website, then see if they have what it takes to make the next Sam Fisher, Assassin’s Creed assassin, or Rayman (well maybe not Rayman).

Just as Ubisoft revealed more of the open world gameplay of Watch_Dogs, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is getting the same treatment with a 10 minute narrated video that was shown at GamesCom. What can players expect from a game world that takes 30 minutes to sail from end to end?
Assassin’s Creed IV is looking pretty exciting and it looks like from Watch_Dogs and this that Ubisoft is pretty committed to building bigger and interesting worlds for players to explore for themselves. Everything anyone could expect from a pirate; from getting in tavern fights, underwater exploration, infiltrating smuggler’s den, and fighting pirate hunters. Plenty of things to do in the life of a pirate.
Check out the narrated gameplay video embedded below to see all the action. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is currently set to release October 29th in North America, October 31st in Australia, and November 1st in Europe for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC, then for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 after they release.

Australians love their sport and their sports games and our Xbox One FIFA 14 bundle in particular is our gift to those Xbox fans who pre-order early. Also, to make sure people who pre-ordered the Day One Edition Console don’t lose out, we’ll be making sure they all receive a copy of FIFA 14 too.
