If you didn’t know already, Wayfoward Technologies is currently working on creating a new Double Dragon game under the name Double Dragon Neon. Today the company revealed that the game will be released on the PSN on September 11th and XBLA on September 12th for $10 or 800 MSP depending on your console of choice.

Those curious about the title will be interested to know that our own Double Dragon loving Editor-in-Chief Philip Federico sat down with Majesco Project Manager Pete Rosky at E3 this year and asked him multiple questions about the game while also trying out the game himself. That interview can be found here.

THQ stockholders begin suing THQ over uDraw fiasco

Like vultures circling a dying man in a desert, it seems that anyone with money attached to THQ is going to try and get whatever they can out of the languishing video game publisher. THQ shareholders have filed a lawsuit against the company after an investigation into whether or not THQ misled their investors about the state of the uDraw tablet.

The lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by New York law firm Levi & Korsinsky on behalf of THQ shareholders and the lawsuit states that THQ “misrepresented or failed to disclose” that the PS3 and 360 versions of the uDraw game were not selling. It seems that every time THQ appears to begin catching a break, another heavy blow is dealt against the company. At the moment this lawsuit has not cost THQ anything, though whether or not that will be the case in the next few months can be anyone’s guess.

Although full music games may be on the decline, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still titles of that genre being released. In fact, we just saw the release of a Final Fantasy rhythm game just a few weeks ago and now Harmonix has announced when fans of the genre can download Rock Bland Blitz.

The title has been announced for release on the PSN on August 27th where it will cost $14.99 while the XBLA version shall be released on the 28th for 1200 MSP.

SCE CEO Addresses Second Vita Game Heaven

Back in May, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Hiroshi Kawano told Famitsu that the second Playstation Vita Game Heaven broadcast would be happening in June 2012. The month of June has now passed and there has been no Vita Game Heaven. So, where is it? In the latest issue of Famitsu, Kawano does address the next Vita Game Heaven. He hasn’t given a specific date yet. However, he doesn’t want the gap to be too big. The first Game Heaven was done in March, some four months ago.

He turns his attention to the Tokyo Game Show in September. He has revealed that the focus of SCE will be the Vita. This is excellent news to hear as the Vita is in need of a push in Japan. There are positive signs as the Vita is now constantly topping the PSP in recent weeks and, if the Vita gets the right games (Persona 4: The Golden), then it can boost sales. This will be a lesson learnt from SCE America after their lack of focus on the Vita.

Final Fantasy III PSP To Have English Text

It looks like Square Enix is making the Playstation Portable port of Final Fantasy III import friendly. In a posting by Tales Source (and translated by Andriasang), the publisher is set to reveal English text support in the next Famitsu issue. In order to use the English text, the PSP’s language must be set to English, which should be no problem for anyone outside of Japan with their primary language being English.

This is excellent news seeing that the PSP market is now dead. There have been question marks on whether Square Enix will publish the port outside of Japan, as it has with Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy IV PSP games. The only obstacle would be the cost, but PSP games are usually cheaper due to being an handheld device. However, if you want to import it, then the PSP game will be released on September 20.

UPDATE: The first screenshot of Final Fantasy III with English has been released, confirming that Final Fantasy III will indeed have English as a language option. You can see it below.
