These Mugen Souls trailers may just overwhelm you

If Mugen Souls’ moe characters and visuals weren’t enough to overwhelm you yet, then perhaps the different features talked about in the two trailers released today by NIS America will be able to finish the job. In the first video found below we are treated to some customization footage that allows players to not only change the costumes of the main cast but also create their very own peon from scratch.

Below that video a number of the game’s features and overwhelming damage levels are shown off. Those interested in picking up the title should note that Mugen Souls is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and is set to be released on September 18th.

Sleeping Dogs gets an action packed launch trailer

With the release of Sleeping Dogs less than a week away that means it is time for the standard launch trailer release for the game and today Square Enix has chosen to abide by this tradition and has released the below action packed launch trailer.

As you can see in the trailer below, undercover cop Wei Shen will have to balance his morals as a police officer between staying alive inside one of the most fearsome criminal organizations in the world. Players will be able to experience viscious hand to hand combat, brutal gunplay and more things that we can mention in one sitting. Those looking to pick up Sleeping Dogs can do so next Tuesday when it is released on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Wings: Director’s Cut Kickstarter

Players who remember Wings, the WWI fighter plane shooter from 22 years ago, may be interested to hear that Cinemaware is interested in bringing the game back and better than ever.  Their hopes are not just to re-release the game with a makeover of graphics, but to add much, much more to the game.  New missions, new story elements, enhanced animations, art and sound and additional music tracks are planned to add to the package if Cinemaware can find the funding on Kickstarter.  But, fans of the original needn’t worry as the style of gameplay and structure will remain the same.

Pledge amounts vary in reward from a copy of Wings: Director’s Cut on the system of their choice, PC, iOS, or Android; to a collection of digital books related to the game, to a physical replica of the 56th Aerosquadron Journal as seen in the game, all the way to a ride in a WWI-style biplane.

Angry Birds Seasons gets a new Pink Angry Bird

If you ever thought that the Angry Birds game needed a more feminine looking bird to take down those nasty pigs well… you are about to get that bird. Today Rovio revealed that a cute pink bird, so far named “Pink,” will be added into the Angry Birds Seasons version of the game.

The company revealed the existence of this bird through a cute little trailer found below where we see Pink blowing bubbles while also hating on those egg stealing pigs. Currently it is unknown what Pink’s abilities will be, though they probably will involve bubbles of some sort. The exact release of this pink bird update is currently unknown but exciting nonetheless!

New Rayman: Legends character revealed as Barbara the viking

If you thought that Rayman: Legends would have an all male cast again then you were wrong, because today Ubisoft released a new trailer showing off a new female warrior called Barbara. As you can see in the video below Barbara looks like a viking warrior and wields an axe.

Currently there are only a few details known about Rayman: Legends, though it is worth noting that the Wii U is the only console that the game has so far been announced for, though with more information promised at Gamescom, we only have a few more weeks of waiting to learn if picking up a Wii U will truly be necessary to play this gem of a game.

Jet Set Radio HD grinds into view in September

After carrying around a Summer 2012 release window nearly the entire way through the summer season, Sega has finally given more specific release dates for Jet Set Radio HD. We say dates considering the fact that each version of the game will have pretty much a different release date.

Those who are members of the PlayStation Plus crowd will get the game first on the PS3 on September 11th while everyone else on the PS3 will have to wait until September 18th to pick up the title. PC and 360 gamers will have to wait a day longer to get the title on September 19th, though the Vita version of the game has actually fallen into the “Fall” release window with a date of October 16th. All versions of the game so far will cost $9.99 or 800 MSP once they are released.

First promo shown for new Hayate the Combat Butler anime

If you happen to visit the official web page for Hayate The Combat Butler’s new anime project then you will see that the series has been given its very first promotional video, or for those a bit lazy they can check out the promo video below.

Now before fans of the series start to pick apart the various inconsistencies with the anime promo and the current manga series, it is worth noting that Hayate the Combat Butler: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, as the series is called, is an original story that does not directly base itself off of the storyline currently occuring in the manga, although Kenjirou Hata, the manga’s creator, did create the concepts for the anime itself.

From what we’ve been shown in the below promo, it appears that the storyline will take place while Nagi still possesses her mansion and all of her riches, however it apparently will introduce Ruka Suirenji, an idol songstress, much earlier in the story.

Need for Speed Most Wanted Multiplayer Teaser Trailer

EA have just released the latest Need for Speed Most Wanted Multiplayer trailer.  As the trailer is just a teaser (full trailer will be released on the 14th of August) there isn’t much to go on but will certainly get your motor running if you’re a Need for Speed fan that also enjoys competitive on-line racing.  What will make Need For Speed Most Wanted multiplayer successful?  Should customization come back as it was with NFS Underground or should Most Wanted be all about good old fashioned high octane racing without the hassle of customization?

Which would you prefer?  Check out the trailer below and let us know what you would like to see in Need For Speed Most Wanted Multiplayer.
