In a recent interview with MVC, Sega Europe’s SVP of commercial publishing John Clarck talked about SEGA’s PC business and how it shaped the company’s future. Interestingly, he also commented on their desire to deliver Japanese content from the entire group within SEGA.
Nintendo has released a new trailer for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, which details the game’s combat system. The video is narrated by a certain “DJ MasterSeal”, who will apparently be talking about Mirages in more detail in a future video. In the current one, he talks about the concepts of Mirage Masters, their creative potential called “Performa”, the game’s Action Bar, Session Attacks and more. You can find the video below!
The team trailers for King of Fighters XIV continue with the Team Yagami trailer. Team Yagami features Iori Yagami, the decidedly unfriendly rival of Kyo Kusanagi, and Vice and Mature. A team combination that is reoccurring throughout the KOF series. Like Kyo, Iori is sporting a new costume coming from KOF XIII (did he join a motorcycle gang?), but the same applies to his two companions! The team embodies a theme of classiness, edge, and brutality. And, for story and gameplay purposes, Iori’s flames are back.
I’d like to take a moment to note that several game conventions and fighting game tournaments will be hosting playable builds of King of Fighters XIV, and demo builds have already been tested in America and Japan so far. Upcoming events include Stunfest 2016 in France this weekend, Combo Breaker in Illinois next week, and CEO 2016 in Florida during June.
Anyway, check out the team trailer below.
During the latest SEGA Central, SEGA Europe Community Manager Dan Sheridan answered another batch of #AskSEGA questions from the fans. When asked by Suketodara whether or not they’re planning to bring 7th Dragon III Code: VFD to Europe, Dan answered:
Right now there are no plans to bring 7th Dragon to Europe. However, we know that there are European SEGA fans who are keen to see a release. There’s nothing we can confirm today, but we are looking if it’s something we can make happen.
SEGA of America has recently announced their DLC plans for the upcoming Summer 2016 3DS title 7th Dragon III Code: VFD.
Similar to Etrian Mystery Dungeon, there’s an assortment of quests that offer specialized rewards and unique challenges (besides loot and experience boosts) for players. While these quests are paid DLC there is also a free DLC piece featuring the Nagamimi doll, a talking bunny plush that provides joy and justice. The pricing schedule for the other pieces of DLC are also provided, alongside the release date for each of the DLC. Atlus stresses that not all DLC can be readily accessed from the beginning of the game and progressing through 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is essential (some content is only available post-game, too). There are no plans for release in Europe announced at the moment.
In a recent blog update on the official Persona 5 website, a PR manager for Atlus points out the website has been updated with character profiles for the three new female characters that were recently revealed. While the information in the profile for the characters is the same as the one we’ve already talked about earlier, we do get a few screenshots of the characters and their Personas, which we’ve included below.
Persona 5 will be released on September 15, 2016 in Japan. While the game is confirmed to be heading to the West, a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet.
Atlus recently published character class trailers for the Cestus and Masurao classes of Etrian Odyssey V. Let’s take a look!
The Masurao is an option for the Therian race. They are an offense-oriented class that draw from their sword techniques to attack the enemy. They’re also often the first to attack. Besides their fighting capabilities, the Masurao also possess unique skills – such as one that allows your party to encounter rare enemies.
Nintendo has released two new trailers for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, the crossover JRPG for the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei series, showing the music videos for Kiria’s song “Reincarnation”, and Tsubasa’s song “Feel”. Both songs feature English subtitles. You can view them below! However, the Reincarnation trailer that Nintendo provided has audio that is out of sync. We corrected the problem in the version posted below.
Atlus U.S.A. has distributed a new trailer for the character of Velvet ahead of the upcoming release of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir outside of Japan. We’ve attached a small gallery of images, the trailer itself, and a press release to the bottom of this article. This completes the character trailer series for the game, but perhaps we may see different trailers in the future.
SNK-Playmore uploaded a trailer for King of Fighters XIV featuring Team Japan to their YouTube account. Team Japan is one of the icons of the King of Fighters series, with a lineup that rarely changes and led by series protagonist Kyo Kusanagi.
