Fans of NIS America’s release of Natsume’s Book of Friends (Natsume Yūjin-chō) will be happy to hear that the company has just released the third season of the anime. This heartwarming anime has had four seasons produced in Japan and NIS America owns the license to all of them. A few months ago NIS America released the first two seasons of Natsume’s Book of Friends in one collection, but it’s worth noting that this one only contains the third season.
Anyways, Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 3 has been given the Premium Edition treatment which contains the thirteen episode season on both Blu-ray and DVD and a hardcover art book all contained inside of a collectable slip cover case. The third season sells for $69.99 and is available at various online retailers including NIS America’s own online store.
Yes, Pokemon fans, after a good wait, the legendary Meloetta is now available for download in specific locations worldwide. Those who have a copy of Pokemon Black/White or Black 2/White 2 can download this legendary at EB and Target retail stores Australiawide, and participating JB Hifi stores in New Zealand. Those in the states can simply visit their local Gamestop for a download as well – as we did mention this event is worldwide.
If you need a refresher, here are some details about the new Poke:
Meloetta is the rare and powerful Melody Pokémon that keeps opponents on their toes with its one-of-a-kind ability to alter Formes in the middle of battle. Players who attend the retail distribution event will receive Meloetta at Level 50 in its Aria Forme, in which it fights as a Normal- and Psychic-type Pokémon. If a battle calls for a change of tone, Meloetta can switch to its Pirouette Forme and become a Normal- and Fighting-type character—the first-ever Pokémon with such a type combination.
Meloetta changes Formes using Relic Song, a special damage-dealing move that can only be learned when Meloetta is added to your party and listens to the music of a guitar player at Café Sonata in Castelia City. When players receive Meloetta at the distribution, however, it will already be outfitted with a suite of powerful moves—Close Combat, Teeter Dance, Psychic, and Round.
Of course all you need is a DS/3DS system with the mentioned cartridge, an in-game Pokedex, and no more than 11 wonder cards. Simple enough, right? To get to know Meloetta more, you can also download the Pokemon TV app that recently launched on the Appstore and Android and enjoy the animated short Meloetta’s Moonlight Serenade. This event is live now and only goes until April 19th, so plan a trip and grab this new species while she (or is it a he?) is available.
Today it was revealed via the Japanese magazine Famitsu that Tecmo Koei will be releasing a downloadable demo for Dead or Alive 5 Plus when the game is released in Japan. It is currently unknown whether this demo will be released in the West at the same time, but considering Dead or Alive 5 Plus hits stores in North America on March 19th which is only a day before it’s Japanese release date of March 20th, the odds are pretty good.
Famitsu did not detail what type of content will be included in the game, but it was said that the demo will feature online play and gamers can transfer data from the demo into the full game.
Today it was revealed via a scan in the latest issue of Famitsu and spotted by Tale Tale Source that MarvelousAQL is currently working on two pieces of DLC for their recently released Vita exclusive, Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus. Considering the successof the title so far, this comes as no surprise.
Anyways, the scan shows that two characters are coming to the game in the form of DLC, the first being Daidouji who appeared in the first Senran Kagura title and debuted a couple of weeks ago in the Senran Kagura anime and Rin who was a secret character in Senran Kagura Burst. They will be released at the end of March and will cost 600 Yen each or 1,000 yen total.
Yes, we are getting closer to the March 18th release date for LEGO City Undercover, and things are still looking quite promising. Today, a new television commercial (or a more simple trailer, if you will) has rose up to show off some of the gameplay – as well as detail just what players can expect.
The main protagonist, Chase McCain, will have over 100 vehicles at his disposal as he fights crime, and will be able to utilize disguises as he hunts for enemies “undercover”. Check out the clip below, and note that the Wii U version is headed to stores soon so keep an eye out for this lovely little romp in the future.
EA Games have released a brand new trailer for the upcoming action shooter blockbuster known as Fuse. The latest trailer focuses in on the game’s main protagonist the charismatic Dalton.
From what you can see in the trailer Dalton likes to crack a joke or two in between ass-kicking sessions. He prefers to charge in head-first kick some ass and ask questions later. He is the leader of the elite team of agents tasked with discovering the Fuse compound, a role he takes on despite his questionable past.
Be sure to get to know Dalton in the trailer below. Let u know what you think of Dalton and of Fuse in the comments section.
Nintendo and Capcom are looking to make Monster Hunter fans even happier, as the online community is sure to get a boost now that cross-region play has been announced. This little feature will be downloadable shortly after the game’s launch, allowing Aussies, North Americans, and our friends in Europe to all play together in up to four player battles. Of course downloadable quests will also be offered, with the first launching on March 23rd – the day of the release.
The same launch update will also include off-TV play, letting Wii U players take the hunting to their Gamepad screens. Sure, we still have a couple of weeks to go, but this news is certainly getting us more excited about the first big release for the platform of 2013.
In case you haven’t been to the store today or checked any of the digital download services available to gamers nowadays, then you may have missed out on the fact that Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider has hit store shelves pretty much worldwide.
To go along with the game’s release across the globe, the company released the below “Day One” trailer which actually is an extended version of the basic television commercial. Anyways, we’ve already reviewed the title and found it to be quite an enjoying game and you can read more about what made it such an enjoyable title here.
Today Square Enix and Eidos Montreal have revealed that a franchise that has remained in the shadows for many years will finally be appearing once again sometime next year. These companies have revealed that the next Thief title has been announced and will be coming to “high end PCs and next generation consoles” sometime in 2014.
Little is known about the title at this time, however the game will take place in a city called The City where the rich live luxurious lives and the poor suffer from sickness and famine. Players will step into the boots of Garrett who is a master thief with the ability to freely choose his path through the game’s levels and how they will approach each challenge. To go along with this announcement, the company decided to give everyone a brief message from Garrett.
Time has moved on. Power has shifted. New greed replaces the old.
But to remain free in the city of chains – that is still the greatest prize.
First I stole to survive… then I survived to steal.
I am one man; I hear your secrets, see your hidden truths.
I am the shadows, the dark and deadly, the velvet night. You will not see me coming.
