Way of the Samurai fans, you will be pleased to know that the latest addition to the series, Way of the Samurai 4 is going to be released later this year in September. That makes this a September, 2012 launch. This the European version of the game.

Santa Ana, Calif.

SuBLime’s Summer Manga Releases

SuBLime, I’m guessing the BL is for Boys’ Love, partnered with VIZ Media and Animate Ltd has released two yaoi manga this month which are available in both physical and digital editions.  The two releases, which you can see the covers above, are Three Wolves Mountain by Bohra Naono, a creator of over 20 manga series, and Honey Darling by Norikazu Akira, creator of Twin’s LabyrinthHeart Strings, and Beast & Feast.

Three Wolves Mountain focuses on the relationship between Kaya Susugi and a pair of brothers he meets, Taro and Jiro, who also happen to be werewolves.  The story tells the tale of Jiro, the younger of the two brothers, falling for Kaya and what unfolds thereafter.

Honey Darling has Chihiro finding a new lease on life after finding a stray kitten, but when it becomes ill, his life takes even deeper meaning after taking the kitten to the animal hospital and wanting to become a vet.  Unfortunately, that requires becoming the live-in housekeeper to the handsome veterinarian, Kumazawa.

As can be seen from the covers the manga are in fact “M” rated, so don’t expect these to stay clean.  Interested readers of any persuasion can get the books in physical copies for $12.99 US or $14.99 CAN, or worldwide as digital downloads in PDF format for $5.99 from the SuBLime website HERE.

Labor Day is the story of a thirteen year old boy who is trying to man up and take on the man of the house role, care for his reclusive mother Adele (Kate Winslet), and deal with adolescence all at once. Then, while out shopping for school supplies, Henry and his mother run into Frank Chambers, who convinces them to take him into their home. And then it is later revealed that he is an escaped convict. And, just as these things tend to go, the vents of the long Labor Day weekend will end up changing them for the rest of their lives.

Matt Berry Narrates Worms Revolution

I’ve been playing the Worms Revolution beta, and having been required to sign an NDA beforehand meant I couldn’t discuss the details, no matter how exciting. So I have to wait until Team 17 announce things before I can run my mouth.

One of the first and most exciting things I noticed was the vocal talents of Matt Berry narrating the action and telling you what to do. If his name isn’t immediately familiar, you might remember him as the sleazy boss, Mr Reynholm, from The IT Crowd, or as half the comedy team behind Berry & Fulcher’s Snuff Box.

Berry is perfectly cast: an overly-confident air of undeserved authority shines through his performance, bringing quite a lot of personality to a character who is never seen. He fits the zaniness of the Worm franchise to a tee, just check out the preview below to see him in action.

There’s a lot of awesome in the Worms Revolution beta, but this was the hardest thing to keep to myself. I want to tell you more, but I shouldn’t: I can sense Team 17’s NDA ninjas outside my window. Just know this: it’s gonna be amazing.

Otaku USA replaces Shonen Jump on Walmart shelves

Good news anime lovers out there, there will soon be a way to pick up what seems like the only printed anime magazine in the United States easier than ever. While Walmart used to always sell Shonen Jump on their magazine stands, Viz Media stopped publishing the magazine earlier this year. Now Walmart has chosen to continue providing anime lovers a chance to read magazines related to their interest by stocking Otaku USA.

This is obviously a good sign for Otaku USA and a good sign for anime fans everywhere as the wide-spread sales behemoth will likely boost sales as fans will now have easier access to purchasable issues. Those interested in learning more about what Otaku USA has to offer can do so here.

The Last of Us won’t be released until 2013

There has been some unfortunate news for fans of Naughty Dog, as the Last of Us has been delayed till 2013. This announcement came from Late night with Jimmy Fallon as the developers and Jimmy played part of the game, the footage of which can be seen here. With the Last of Us slated for 2013. Sony’s holiday line up will take a hit, but they still have plenty of titles.

There is a silver lining to the Last of Us being delayed, and that is that Naughty Dog can polish the game, and fix any bugs the game possibly has. So the wait can definitely be worth it, but what are your thoughts on the Last of Us being delayed?
