Today NIS America released a new English trailer for Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness which shows off some footage we’ve seen before alongside some new footage featuring the various special attacks that players can use to finish off enemies, including one involving a Prinny slam-dunking an enemy off the top of an ally tower and a sample of the game’s English voicework.
Also if you happen to stick around to the end, you’ll notice a certain female character taking the spotlight who we’ve already found to be a female version of Laharl, though exactly how this change occurs is still unknown.
Soccer fans around the world have been clamoring for the release of the latest PES game; Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, and now Konami have answered their wishes. We now know that PES 2014 will be launching September 26th. Including soccer teams from around the world, including the Chilean Premier Division, PES 2014 looks like it will shape up to be the most true to life experience for soccer players everywhere.
The development team have been working hard to make PES 2014 the ultimate soccer gaming experience. The team have managed to rework the entire framework of the predecessor, in order to recreate the ebb and flow of a real-world soccer match. Everything from the look and feel of the players, to the impact a crowd can have on a game will all be included to best create an immersive true to life environment for players.
The centre of the game definitely revolves around its unprecedented physics engine. The game uses what is dubs its “Trueball Tech,” which allows the ball to act as its own entity. In previous installments, the ball was tied to the actions and movements of a player. This is no longer the case, and now the user can control the weight and movement of the ball by using the players. This will result in a more, free and true to life experience than ever before.
PES 2014 will be available in Australia on September 26th, on Xbox 360 and on the 27th on PS3. A demo will be launched shortly for both platforms that allows players to see a true representation of the game prior to its launch. A whole wealth of DLC options will be given to players who pre-order the game too, so be sure to check out your local games shop to find out what bonuses they will be offering. For all the PES 2014 news as it becomes available, be sure to stay tuned to Capsule Computers.

The Call of Duty franchise is without argument one of the biggest in gaming today. It constantly breaks sales and pre-order records, as well as maintaining millions upon millions of active players every day. No matter what your thoughts are on the franchise, it is definitely a powerhouse.
The franchise’s latest installment; Call of Duty: Ghosts is soon to release, but with the impending jump to the next-generation of consoles, and the fact that these new consoles can’t play current-gen games, many gamers have been worried that they would be forced to purchase an additional copy of the game once the new consoles launched. However, the guys over at Activision have quelled those concerns (at least for Playstation owners) by introducing the Call of Duty: Ghosts Upgrade Program.
The completely optional program allows owners of the PS3 version of Ghosts to upgrade to the PS4 version for a meager price of $10. The promotion will run for a limited time, and is sure to ease the minds (and wallets) of many CoD players who weren’t keen on buying two copies.
Details on the promotion are scarce (such as how long the limited time will be), but we will be sure to keep you informed as the information comes to light. So for all the Call of Duty and Upgrade Program news as they become available, stay tuned to Capsule Computers.

First Cowboy Bebop, then Samurai Champloo, then Kids On The Slope and now…well now is Space Dandy’s time to shine! This week a little bit of key information on Shinichirow Watanabe and BONES‘ new Sci-Fi, action, comedy was released. Fans of Watanabe’s work had already decided that they were going to watch it as soon as he put his name to the series but now with a little bit more info released it may pick up some newer fans. Allow me to take you through it. Dandy is an alien-hunter and the titular character of the series, his job as an alien-hunter is to seek out new races of aliens before anyone else can, once he does he get’s an awesome reward. He’s like Nature’s Bounty Hunter. Together with his vacuum robot QT and his idiot alien friend Meow who he met in his travels, he combs the galaxy encountering new friends and enemies as well as planets and their odd inhabitants.
Dandy’s age is, so far, unclear but we can all kind of guess that he’s somewhere in his late 20’s, early 30’s. He’s said to not care about little things and believes that his dream lies somewhere in the universe. On first glance he seems like a typical Watanabe protagonist. QT, his robot friend, believes that he is of high-power but in reality he is just a normal vacuum cleaner robot who takes pride in what he does and is fairly serious. Meow is labelled a “dimwit alien”, he’s not any evolution of cat even though he shares many of the animal’s traits and is named “Meow”. He’s carefree and seems like he was raised with no constraints. It was also revealed that Yasuyuki Okamura will perform the series’ theme songs which will be called “Viva Namida” and “Healthy Merci”. Space Dandy is set for release sometime in January of next year, expect lots of info to be released in the coming months so keep your eyes on the site.
