Later this week a new anime series is set to begin in the popular late night anime slot, noitaminA. That anime series is Natsuyuki Rendezvous and there is now a preview trailer for it.

Natsuyuki Rendezvous is based upon the manga of the same name created by Haruka Kawachi which ran in josei magazine Feel Young. The story follows a love triangle revolving around a flower store, that just so happens to involve a ghost. The series will feature Yuya Matsushita’s song ‘See You’.

Kingdom Hearts 3D is nearly here, and Aussies and New Zealanders alike can now rest easy knowing that an official release date has came their way. On July 26th, Dream Drop Distance will hit the platform down under, marking the debut of La Cité des Cloches (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and The Grid from Tron as visitable worlds within the Kingdom Hearts series.

Of course there is much more than those locations for players to look forward to, as Sora and friends will all be back for a brand new tale which is looking fantastic. Those of you in North America can expect the game to “drop” a few days later when it hits shelves on July 31st.

Ouya: The $99 Console Powered by Android

The spark that may light a fire in indie game development has a funny name but should be taken seriously. The Ouya concept is a $99 console that will run on Android. According to a post on Angel List, any developer will be able to publish their work and it will be accessible on the Ouya platform. This means that Android game developers will no longer be restricted to fitting their games into a smartphone or tablet, now they can create games for hardcore gamers playing at home on a TV using a controller instead of virtual buttons on a touch screen. Not only that, but the games will be inexpensive if not free which is more than enough reason for all of the broke gamers out there to use this console.

If you’re looking for proof that Ouya is a serious endeavor, consider the people behind it; Julie Uhrman, formerly a Digital Distribution VP of IGN Entertainment, now the founder and CEO of Ouya. Yves Béhar is onboard as an advisor and possibly designer. His current role is the Chief Creative Officer of Jawbone, a company that specializes in wearable technology and more recently portable speakers. Ed Fries is also behind the project and is known for his work as VP of Game Publishing for Microsoft during the days of the original Xbox.

I’m sure we will be seeing more on the Ouya very soon. Whether or not to get excited about a cheap game console that will massively support indie gaming and possibly change the way the console market works is up to you.

Although the PlayStation Vita probably should have been released with actual support for PSOne Classics, it seems that Sony at least knows when they will actually add it into the handheld. While no firm release date has been given, they did state that Firmware Update 1.8 will implement the support.

Andriasang reports that the company has not yet said how much of the library will be supported or if they will all be available right away. All that has currently been said is that Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy VII will be available immediately. So, at least they are adding in something that should have been done a long time ago. Vita ho!
