    Yakuza 5 Hitting North America in 2015

    Holy fuck, I was one of those people who thought this would never get localised. TAKE BACK THE DREAM. Unfortunately, I'm not as hype as I should be (beat the game already with the external Chinese guidebook). Still hype though and definite day 1 purchase.

    Valkyria Chronicles is on Steam!

    Seems like it's doing pretty well for itself, which is fantastic. Still holding out hope for VC3 though.

    Valkyria Chronicles coming to PC?

    So... Confirmed? https://twitter.com/SEGA/status/526884918677471232 Hopefully if this does well, they'll bring over the third game as well, which I hear is really good.

    Smash Bros. Director Justifies "Clone" Characters, Dismisses Complaints

    You know the drill guys: new Sakurai interview, new shitstorm. I agree with him actually. Just remember these characters were getting in the game, clones or otherwise.

    Games that penalize you for playing a certain way

    I thought that playing lethally in Human Revolution was penalising actually. Lethal takedowns were noisy compared to non-lethal when functionally they are the same and they didn't give as much exp. You also miss out on a tonne of exp if you start shooting since you don't get stealth bonuses...

    Games we want but aren't holding our breath for

    I'd love to see a continuation of Freedom Force, personally. That's my go-to for series with unresolved cliffhangers. Zero Escape 3 has me worried. Uchikoshi promised he would get it out eventually, but if he continues not to get funding, then I don't think it will be in the form of a game...

    Well Liked/Reviewed Games...That You *Didn't* Enjoy.

    RAGE - I quite liked the gunplay, but the scarcity of bullets made me scared to shoot anything. Maybe the ammo situation gets better later on. Didn't get too far. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Same old AC gameplay, and the ships got really monotonous halfway through the game. Not to...

    Game music that makes you want to kick some ass!

    Yakuza's long battle themes do a pretty good job of hyping you up. They kinda have to be, considering the nature of the games. I only included 3 and onwards' because that's when I felt the music got good, but I'll chuck in these two as a bonus.

    Xenoblade Chronicles' Shulk Joins Super Smash Bros

    I think my one real disappointment with his moveset is that his Monado Arts aren't properly represented. Monado Purge, Eater and Cyclone could have easily been made into specials. Oh well, can't get too greedy I guess.

    Shulk in Smash

    Just got announced during the Japan only Direct. Miiverse explanation: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlkeWRiCQ So basically we can take this as confirmation that the leak is totally true, even though there was very little doubt in the first place. That being said...

    Hyrule Warriors Direct: Do Not Pursue The Demon King!

    To be fair, it's pretty likely he'll be getting more movesets, and there's a precedent of melee based characters getting magic oriented weapons (Link's Fire Rod and Zelda's Wind Waker).

    Minigames from HELL that you finally completed

    Yakuza 2. Albatross Akagi. Let's see if I can describe this adequately. You're in a golf range and at the end of the range is a windmill-like spinner with 4 targets on the circumference, 2 worth 100 points and 2 worth 50 points. You're given 10 shots and you have to score 800 points. In other...

    Super Smash Bros. 4's New Challengers Are Fire Emblem's Robin And Lucina

    I found it odd that despite being the first character revealed in the trailer, Lucina really didn't get to show off many moves at all. Being a clone character might explain it though. Still steadfast in my Xenoblade faith though. HOLD ON TO THE DREAM.

    Super Smash Bros 4: Captain Falcon, Chrom (kinda), Lucina, and Robin: Confirmed.

    Looks like I'm buying my brother P4U2 then. Fuck. The fact that Chrom didn't get a newcomer splash screen seems like he's going to be a alt for Lucina, or at least featured in Robin's final smash. We'll have to wait for POTDs for clarification.

    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is region free.

    Just to clarify, the press release implies the JP version is locked, but the English version is not. Of course this won't matter for most of us so yeah, great news. Doubtful that Atlus will pull what they did with the first P4U again. They were surprised at the extreme backlash and said that...
