-

July 13, 2013

Do you like top-down, bullet hell style shooters? what about Japanese anime? than you are in luck! Mamorukun Curse! is just the game you are looking for, and it hits the North American PSN next week!

Originally a Japanese-only game, Mamorukun Curse! follows Mamorukun and several other “Chosen Souls,” on their quest through the Netherworld. They are guided (see: commanded) by Ms Fululu, the wholesomely cute, yet utterly demanding mistress of the realm, who implores our heroes to use their new found Curse Powers to fight their way through, and to seal the gate that separates the Netherworld from the World of Darkness before it’s too late.

You take control of one of these Chosen Souls, in what publisher UFO Interactive (who are well known for Johnny Impossible and Scourge: Outbreak) describes as a “cute ’em up” style shooter. The game has you ducking and weaving around level after level filled with millions of bullets, in three distinct modes of play. It also features competitive online leaderboards, and 66 trophies (including a Platinum).

In addition to the game’s wealth of in-built features, all of the DLC previously available for the Japanese version is being released alongside the game COMPLETELY FREE. This DLC adds:

Alternate Costumes for all 7 characters.
2 Extra “Netherworld Adventures” courses
2 Additional Playable Characters; Nowa and Runiko

mamorukun-curse-announce-03 — Magic Laser Bat-Bullets… Awesome, right?

Over the next few days, UFO Interactive will be releasing new artwork and promotional pictures for the game on their Facebook page, so be sure to check that out. They already have all the character and DLC costume artwork posted, so it is worthwhile taking a look to familiarise yourself with the characters. Also, be sure to check out the trailer below, and get ready to head into the Netherworld.

Mamorukun Curse! will be available to all North American PS3 owners via the PSN next Tuesday, July 16th for $19.99. So for all the Mamorukun Curse! news, be sure to stay tuned to Capsule Computers

With the reveal of the new Pokemon yesterday for Pokemon X and Y, it would make perfect sense to show all those new guys in action as soon as possibly. Which seems to be the idea on developer Game Freak and publisher Nintendo‘s mind as a new gameplay trailer was just released today.

While still a little rough on the graphics side, Pokemon X and Y are still looking fine with the 3D graphics, plus with quite a few Pokemon shown off just yesterday it’s even better seeing them in full motion so soon. While the gameplay trailer is certainly short, only a little more than a minute, it packs plenty to see.

Those wanting to see the trailer for themselves can check it out embedded below. Pokemon X and Y are slated to release worldwide on October 12, 2013 for Nintendo 3DS.

Another Member of the Smash Bros. alumni has managed to reach down, dig deep and pull up the strength he needs to join the fray once again. That’s right, Captain Olimar of Pikmin fame has once again landed his ship, plucked a few worthy comrades out of the ground and is ready for carnage in Super Smash Bros. WiiU and Super Smash Bros. 3DS … Ok maybe not carnage, but he is still ready to fight.

Olimar and his ground-dwelling Pikmin friends look like they retain many of the same skills and abilities they had in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Olimar’s moves are drawn heavily from the Pikmin games, and have him plucking the adorable minions out of the ground and then throwing them at enemies, using them as melee weapons, or by making a chain out of them (Really when you think about it, he isn’t exactly kind to these little creatures).

super-smash-bros-screenshot-02 — No ‘Min left behind… Ok, Maybe a few ‘Min left behind…

With Captain Olimar joining the battle, the roster of playable characters for Super Smash Bros. currently stands at 13. Returning combatants; Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Kirby, Link, Samus, Fox, Bowser, Pit and now Olimar are being joined by newcomers; Villager (from Animal Crossing), Mega Man and the Wii Fit Trainer. While the roster is by no means complete, it is already shaping up to be a stellar lineup for Nintendo‘s beloved fighting franchise.

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU and 3DS isn’t set to launch for quite a while yet, but we will be providing you with weekly updates on the game, so for all the Super Smash Bros. news as it becomes available, stay tuned to Capsule Computers

Over on the pages of Kickstarter you’ll find an interesting project called Darkling Plain. Darkling Plain is interesting because it is a board game in development that uses Augmented Reality technology to create an engaging, interesting and highly visual experience.

According to the page, the Augmented Reality uses the latest in smartphone and other handheld technologies to create the 3D graphics from Augmented Reality card data. Players move tokens that have the AR technology in them and then they will turn into fantastical creatures and the like.

The following is a quote from the Press Release:

“Augmented reality demonstrates the potential to combine the best of both video games and board games,” says game co-designer Stewart Wieck. “Outstanding board games have clean, simple gameplay that leads to complex results and offer an irreplaceable social component, while video games have an undeniable visual appeal and invisibly perform complicated calculations. Darkling Plain combines these social and technological strengths.”

Be sure to check out the Official Site and the Kickstarter page for more info.
