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.
