Atlus’ Japanese YouTube channel recently uploaded the Persona 4: Dancing All Night trailer for Yu Narukami – The MC Himself. This trailer came out unexpectedly fast, considering the Rise trailer was uploaded earlier this week, but…no complaints from me.
No additional costumes in this trailer, but we do get a dual-performance cameo from Yosuke. As was probably expected, Daisuke Namikawa reprises his voice role as Yu.

Yakuza Zero will receive a companion app for the Vita, as with Yakuza Ishin. Siliconera recently put out an article detailing some of the features available to the Vita app. As it is, the Yakuza games are well known for their generous assortment of minigames, and the Vita app will be upholding that tradition.

Atlus has produced a trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night centered around the pop idol Rise Kujikawa. The trailer features several voiced lines from Rise and a mix of dialogue and groovy gameplay. Viewers also get to see a handful of character costumes, too. It’s fairly likely that individual trailers for other characters are due in the future, so these should be interesting to see.
Gematsu, when publishing an article about this new trailer, also linked to a version of the trailer with English subtitles, which we’ll reproduce after the break. It’s a little more than a minute long. Be sure to check it out! The game has not been given a concrete release date in North America, but it is still tentatively scheduled for this year.

Producer Kazuhisa Wada has shared new information about Persona 4: Dancing All Night by answering fan questions on the official website. It’s in Japanese, but Siliconera has translated the Q&A for English readers.
Regarding the game’s release, the game will released both in physical and digital copies as well as music and costume DLC. There are no plans for a demo on the PlayStation Store but one may show up at events.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night’s story takes place shortly after the end of Persona 4 Golden. Nanako is supposed to play a big role, but while she can dance she won’t be doing any fighting. Curiously, a fan asked if Hanako Ohtani will be dancing, but Wada answered no.
To play the game you must time your button presses to notes that will move from the middle of the screen to one of six areas. Type of notes will require either a simple button press or a longer hold. Touch controls were mentioned, but it’s not clear if there are just part of the control scheme or if the game can be played entirely using this method. Wada said a tutorial video will be revealed to help explain the gameplay. The game’s difficulty settings are: Easy, Normal, Hard, and All Night. The difficulty is quite flexible, Wada explained you can make the game even easier on story mode or those looking for a challenge can unlock rewards for full-combo scores on songs. Outside story mode, players can earn new songs by playing “Free Dance” and view character models in some kind of gallery mode. Wada mentioned that each each character will have many costumes to wear and you can see the effort put into each one this way.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night releases in Japan on June 25th and is tentatively set to release in 2015 for North America. The game will only be available for the Playstation Vita, but the Q&A mentioned the game will be compatible with the Playstation TV.
The recently-finished Persona series livestream hosted by Atlus has proven to be eventful especially for those awaiting Persona 5 news, treating fans not only to more footage of animated cutscenes, but also first looks at main characters and gameplay. Bolstering the Persona 5 preview momentum is an article from Siliconera announcing that first print copies of Persona 4: Dancing All Night for the Vita will include a Blu-Ray disc with content previewing Persona 5.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night releases in Japan on June 25, 2015. Persona 5 is also tentatively set to release in 2015 for both Japan and North America, so it appears we may be looking at a Q3 2015 or Q4 2015 release window for Persona 5.
In the midst of Persona 5’s big debut, Atlus have not forgotten about its other Persona title coming to Vita: Persona 4: Dancing All Night. During the 30+ hour Persona Channel stream, Atlus shared new information about the game’s release date and limited editions. Also, Atlus put out a new trailer showing off new music and characters who will appear, which you can watch below.
Sega has announced the new Project Diva F 2nd DLC for February. The new DLC that’s already available today for the US includes the Rhythm Game Song “Rolling Girl” by wowaka and the three costumes “Chinese Debut”, “Mikudayo” and “Rolling Girl”. Additionally, two skins, “Kaito (Flower)” and “Crimson Leaf”, have also been made available (these are free for the first 39 days after release). As usual, this DLC will probably be available tomorrow for the EU.
Another batch of DLC will be released on February 17, and includes the Rhythm Game Songs “Change Me” by shu-t and “Yellow” by kz(livetune) together with the Costume Modules “Sweet Pudding” and “Yellow” for Hatsune Miku and “Lin Xiao-Mei” for Meiko.
Sega has announced on the official Playstation Blog that Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax will be localized for PS3 and Vita this Summer!
Sega has announced the latest batch of DLC for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd, which will be made available this week. The update contains two Rhythm Game Songs: Sekiranun Graffiti by ryo and Ai Kotoba by DECO*27. It also contains another set of Costume Modules (six in total). This time around, there are costumes for Akita Neru, Yowane Haku and Kasane Teto. These are actually Vocaloids that aren’t in the regular game but are available as DLC. Aside from them, Meiko also gets one new costume while Hatsune Miku gets two. Sega is again selling a bundle of these costumes but these don’t include the Miku DLC (one of which is the “official” costume for Sekuranun Graffiti, while the other is the Type 2020 remake as seen in the featured image of the article). Five downloadable skins (only free for the first 39 days after release) have also been made available.
The DLC appears to be available now for the US and presumably tomorrow for the EU, but if you’re interested in buying the DLC, it might be worth noting that Sony will be providing a one-time 10% discount code in a total cart purchase to everyone impacted by the PSN outage at the end of last year. The discount code will be valid from January 23rd until January 26th. I believe this also applies to any Project DIVA F 2nd DLC, so if you’re thinking of buying the Song Club or even Costume Club Season Pass or any individual costumes or songs, you may want to wait a few days before purchasing the DLC.
