Following the rumours of a second season of the Medaka Box anime earlier today, news has leaked from the forthcoming edition of Weekly Shonen Jump that the rumours as a matter of fact are true.

It has been 3 years since the manga series begun serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and as such the editors at Jump saw it fit to confirm that there will in fact be a second season of the anime adaptation of the manga.

We reported earlier today that there were rumours that the anime series will return for it’s second season in Fall 2012, those rumours have now been confirmed and the anime series will take a short break during the Summer and return for the Fall.

Square Enix revealed today that the soundtrack for the environmental puzzle game, Quantum Conundrum, which will be released on PC’s on June 21st and consoles later this year, will be recorded by none other than Chris Ballew who happens to be a two time Grammy nominated songwriter. He also happens to be the lead singer for The Presidents of the United States of America.

As to what inspired Crhis to work on the soundtrack for Quantum Conundrum he had this to say: “I like making music for kids because I admire their inventive imaginations, and as an adult I nurture that same creativity in myself. The gameplay, humor and art style in Quantum Conundrum embodies that same sentiment.” Those who are curious about what the soundtrack’s album cover will look like can see it to the right and also probably notice its distinct similarities to another album cover involving a baby and some money.

The XBLA exclusive Trials Evolution is just absolutely mental, there isn’t really another way to describe it, though you probably already know all about Trials Evolution unless you own a PS3. One of the best additions to the recent Trials Evolution was its heavily revamped track creator/editor system, as the variety and freedom within the editor is so large that the developers Red Lynx have admitted being impressed with the creativity of the community. All this newfound editor power has allowed players to come up with some of the most potentially crazy tracks possible.

Ubisoft recently announced that there have been over 100,000 player made tracks uploaded, so obviously something is enticing fans to continue to experiment with it. To showcase the potential of the editor and the creativity of the community Ubisoft has released a player generated tracks trailer.

Check out below the break to see some of the insane tracks that people have come up with;

PS: May involve dragons…

Hope you have some money set aside for surprise release dates because XSEED Games revealed today that their first person dungeon crawler Unchained Blades will be released on the PlayStation Portable next week on June 26th. Those of you who have been keeping up with the game may remember that a 3DS version is being developed as well, however at this time that version of the title only has a release window of “later this year.”

Now Unchained Blades follows the story of a man named Fang, who just happens to be a dragon that has lost all of his powers. As players follow Fang’s journey they will encounter a number of allies including mystical beings such as a medusa priestess, a phoenix maiden and more. When Unchained Blades is released it will cost $29.99, but before you get ready to pick up your PlayStation Vita, Unchained Blades will not be compatible on the Vita at the moment as they are waiting on Sony.

UN-GO Release Delayed by Siren Visual

In some unfortunate news, Siren Visual announced, along with their acquisition of Black Rock Shooter, that they will be delaying their release of the anime series UN-GO. 

Previously they announced that they would be releasing UN-GO on the 23rd of August, 2012, that release is now delayed for an indeterminable amount of time. Siren Visual’s representative in charge of their official facebook page suggested that the series may be released in October instead, but could not give a solid confirmation of that.

The reasoning for this delay is the fact that Siren Visual are acquiring an English dub for the release, which was originally scheduled to be simply a sub-only release for the company. They have chosen to delay the release in order to be able to provide a more complete release of the series, due to the uptake of previous sub-only releases not being on par with their expectations.

We will be sure to keep you up to date with Siren Visual’s release of UN-GO and get back to you once we have a solid release date for the title. Be sure to let us know what you think of this delay in the comments section below.

A leak on the Xbox Live Marketplace earlier was picked up by several internet gaming communities and websites, a listing revealing a HD port for the Sega Dreamcast classic , Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Adventure 2 last saw a port on the Nintendo Gamecube by the name of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

In the image above you can read some details of the release, further to this was a release date of 3 October 2012. Sega has recently been releasing some of their Dreamcast library on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, which included Sonic Adventure DX.

A HD port of Sonic Adventure 2 shouldn’t be too surprising to anyone, but it has yet to be confirmed by Sega. That said, it will be awesome to have one of the best 3D Sonic releases as a digital title.

Earlier today Siren Visual sent shock waves across the Australasian Anime Fandom when they announced that they have acquired the license for the critically acclaimed Black Rock Shooter anime series.

The announcement was made through the company’s official facebook page with a few details given on the nature of how and when they shall release the Black Rock Shooter series.  They plan to release the series in September on DVD, with pre-orders for the release now available. It is unknown whether they will also release the series on Blu-Ray but one could imagine that it’s highly likely considering that is was released on both formats in Japan. So far it is also unknown whether it will be a sub-only release or if it will feature an English dub.

The series wrapped up airing in Japan earlier this year, in which it aired in the popular late-night anime slot ‘noitaminA’. What do you think of Black Rock Shooter being licensed by Siren Visual for distribution? Let us know in the comments section below.

Will Medaka Box Get a Second Season?

The rumour mill is rolling again today, this time for the Medaka Box anime series, which is set to wrap up in the next few weeks. Crunchyroll posted an interesting article earlier today in which they hint at a second season for Medaka Box coming in Fall 2012, with the series taking a break through Summer 2012.

Crunchyroll of course streams the series and as such their words hold more weight in this rumour. Though at the end of the day this still remains a rumour, which even Crunchyroll themselves acknowledge in their article.

Personally I believe this is a series that needs a second season. The manga upon which it is based is miles ahead of where the anime is up to and there is a lot of plot that will be left hanging with the end of this first season. So I for one hope that a second season does come to fruition because there is really a lot more that this series has to offer than what it’s first season has shown us. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.
