Ever wanted to have safe sex but thought that condoms were relatively emasculating? Well with Fist of the North Star condoms, you can engage in intercourse with your lover with all the strength of Ken’s raging fist without that raging fist of a penis impregnating or catching any sexually transmitted diseases.
Of course this is yet another thing that only those geniuses in Japan would be able to think up and is naturally only available to those very geniuses. I wonder how many men have proudly shouted Kenshiro’s infamous catch phrase “You’re already dead” as their partner is climaxing? You can of course purchase these Fist of the North Star branded condoms online here.

Level-5, the Japanese game company behind the Professor Layton series, has just released a completely different kind of game to the Nintendo 3DS eShop for North America and Europe. How different? So drastically, I’m regretting bringing up Layton at all. Oh well, anyway their new game Crimson Shroud is actually based around the concepts of classic table top RPGs as evidenced by the die in the picture.
Crimson Shroud was created by Yasumi Matsuno a developer whose works include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story,and Tactics Ogre, which looking at would have made more sense to bring up in the first place. The game was already released in Japan as part of the Guild01 game pack, but now is available for North America and Europe like Liberation Maiden and Aero Porter from the same pack.
Players can check out the launch trailer for Crimson Shroud embedded below and those wanting to download the game to their Nintendo 3DS can find it for $7.99 (€7.99 / ₤7.19) on the eShop now.
Some unfortunate news has struck the upcoming live-action film adaptation of manga series Attack on Titan. After some internal disputes regarding the script for the film, director Tetsuya Nakashima has quit the project leaving the film’s future in limbo.
Toho the films production company has delayed the film to a vague release in 2014. This is surely disappointing to fans expecting to see the Attack on Titan live-action film in its original release of Fall 2013. Thankfully though there will be an anime adaptation beginning in Spring 2013.

Tecmo Koei have released a new trailer for the face-punchingly awesome Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2. The new trailer for the Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage sequel focuses largely on the gameplay behind the beat-em-up game.
As you can imagine by the Fist of the North star title, the game features a lot of punching people in face very hard until they die because as Ken famously says, they are already dead.

Sharpen your claws because we’re getting closer to The Wolverine!Twentieth Century Fox has revealed a bran new international poster for The Wolverine (featured right).

From director James Mangold, The Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26, 2013.

Tales fans have been waiting with anticipation for news of the franchise’s first venture onto Sony’s PlayStation Vita handheld console. We now have an official Japanese launch date for the upcoming title Tales of Hearts R for the Vita.
Namco Bandai revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump that Tales of Hearts R will hit Japanese shelves on March 27th, 2013 for the price of 6480 yen. Those who purchase the first batch of copies released (within the first 2 weeks of launch) will receive a special code to download the Tales of Hearts R spin-off game called Tales of Hearts R: Infinite Evolve which is described in Weekly Jump as the “infinite evolution 2D action RPG.” Perhaps this means it will play somewhat similarly to Tales of Phantasia?
The Japanese will also be treated to a special edition of the game which will feature a clock app and additional accessories for the game. The special edition will retail for 9980 yen.
It is still unknown whether Tales of Hearts R will make it to the West, but given the Tales franchise’s track record all signs point to yes. We will of course keep you updated as news of a localisation of this title come to light.
