January 11, 2013

If you were concerned that Capcom’s… Capcom Arcade Cabinet… wasn’t going to be released in the West then you can now breath a sigh of relief because today the company has announced that it is indeed coming to the States and elsewhere for the XBLA and PSN.

Currently there are barely any details about the release, as Capcom withheld the release date and the pricing of the package, but they did say that they would reveal everything on February 7th. It is worth noting that Capcom did confirm that Black Tiger will be included in the release, though currently that is the only game confirmed to be included in this release.

Today it seems that the online retailer Rightstuf has decided to sneak out some of NIS America’s big news on their own. The reason for that is the fact that they have posted a listing for Hanasaku Iroha, now under the name Hanasaku Iroha ~ Blossoms for Tomorrow, to be released by NIS America on Blu-ray and DVD on April 9th.

The listing goes so far to provide information and images for the anime’s premium edition, which can be seen below. The anime will cost $69.99, though is currently available at a discount pre-order price. It is worth noting that this release only contains the first 13 episodes of Hanasaku Iroha, so expect a second set to be revealed sometime later this year.

The story for Hanasaku Iroha ~ Blossoms for Tomorrow follows Ohana Matsumae, a sixteen year old girl who has to move out to the countryside to assist her grandmother with her hot spring inn. The series originally aired back in 2011 and was streamed online via Crunchyroll.

While in the closed beta, the title has garnered $1.8 million through user-funded support. Such figure is quite remarkable for an indie company based out of New Zealand.

The story continues to build as you learn the truth behind your exile. Chris Wilson – producer at Grinding Gear Games – had the following to say regarding the open beta:

We’re excited to have reached the point where we can finally throw open the doors and invite everyone in. We have one of the best and most supportive communities on the Internet, and their input has been invaluable in making Path of Exile what it is.

Perfect World Entertainment have just revealed an all new class for their upcoming MMORPG Neverwinter; the Great Weapon Fighter. This class is most proficient when wielding massive two-handed swords and are a hard hitting melee class with tons of health. Usually found in the midst of the battle, Great Weapon Fighters have high survivability and deal high amounts of damage, combining two different roles usually found in MMORPG’s and hopefully streamlining the process.

These brave warriors use abilities such as Wicked Strike, Reaping Strike, Reaver and Spinning Strike (all of which can be watched in the trailer down below). Always the first into the fray and always the last to leave, Great Weapon Fighters are just one of the many classes that will be available in Neverwinter.

Neverwinter is coming to a store near you sometime in early 2013 exclusively for the PC, with a world designed from the ground up to enhance your MMO experience. Play with friends or adventure alone, the choice is yours.

It appears that the Steam Box gaming device from Valve is still going to be a thing that will exist at some point. For those of you that don’t know what the Steam Box is, it is essentially Valve’s way of making PC games available to the lower-class console plebeians that exist across the world. If you still don’t know what this means, it means that this device will make PC games as easy to access as console games.

In an interview with The Verge, Gabe Newell talks about the Steam Box and what it will be able to do. Make sure you head on over to their site for the full interview on the devices future.

Inu x Boku – a 2012 romantic comedy anime series by David Production (April 2013, DVD & Blu-Ray, Dubbed)
Niseomonogatari – part of the popular monogatari series, aired in 2012 (Part 1 May 2013, Part 2 June 2013, DVD, Sub-Only)
Hiiro no Kakera – a 2012 anime adaptation of popular otome video-game (April 2013, DVD & Blu-Ray, Dubbed)
