Today Koei Tecmo announced that the upcoming remasters Ciel Nosurge DX and Ar Nosurge DX are coming later than expected.

Both games were going to launch in Japan on January 28, 2021, but will instead release over a month later, on March 4.

The platforms are still the same, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The reason provided is the usual, to improve the quality of the final release. Producer Akira Tsuchiya also conveyed the team’s apology to those who were eagerly awaiting the remasters.

If you’re unfamiliar with the original games, Ciel Nosurge was the first game created by Gust for PS Vita after the acquisition by Koei Tecmo. It’s a life simulator in which the player had to help a girl named Ion regain her memories. 

The game shares the setting with the more well-known Ar Tonelico even if it’s not a direct sequel or prequel. It was originally released in 2012 exclusively for the PS Vita.

Ar Nosurge continued the series in 2014 for PS3 and PS Vita, shifting the genre to JRPG.

Ar Nosurge was actually localized in English between 2014 and 2015, while Ciel Nosurge never landed on the western market. At the moment, we don’t know whether the DX remasters will be localized or not. 

If you want to take a look at Ciel Nosurge DX and Ar Nosurge DX, you can enjoy a trailer and gameplay.

The post Ciel Nosurge DX & Ar Nosurge DX for PS4, Switch, & PC Delayed by Koei Tecmo appeared first on Twinfinite.

Cloud Imperium Games released a new video of its growing space simulator Star Citizen.

Following a look at the refinery deck introduced in the recently-released version Alpha 3.12, the video showcases a deep dive into the development of the game through 2020, including most of the major features that were added during the latest year.

A lot of progress was certainly made on quite a few fronts, as you can see below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total just passed $338 million, and it’s currently at $338,060,337

The number of registered accounts has also recently passed 2.9 million and it’s currently at 2,921,783.

As usual, you should keep in mind that it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including Free Fly events like the one held at the beginning of the month.

Today Azur Lane publisher Yostar hosted its special Christmas livestream including a lot of new info about the next few weeks.

First of all, we get to see the Christmas skins that will be made available tomorrow (Dec. 22), including Marblehead, Saratoga, Cooper, Jenkins, Hamman, and Minneapolis.

Next is a brand new Iron-Blood focused major event coming on Dec. 29, titled Inverted Orthant.

The new shipgirls will be elite destroyer Z24, elite carrier Weser, elite light cruiser Nürnberg, elite destroyer Z28, super rare submarine U-37, super rare heavy cruiser Prinz Heinrich, and super rare carrier Peter Strasser.

We also get to see the New Year skins, also coming on Dec. 29 and featuring the new shipgirls heavily. Among them are Hartsuki, Z28, Z24, Nürnberg, Weser, U-37, Prinz Heinrich, Peter Strasser, Asashio, Haruna, Odin, Champagne, Tirpitz, Richelieu, and Jean Bart.

On Jan. 12 the Japanese servers will also get the Pizza Hut collaboration skins for Fubuki, Belfast, and Hornet. This isn’t yet confirmed for the western servers.

Below you can see the trailer of the new event, all the relevant images, and a preview of the Operation Siren feature, which will also come tomorrow alongside with the new Guild System and the Ashes shipgirls.

Video games are a form of entertainment, but often their influence can extend far beyond the screen of our consoles. Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima had that effect in a rather unexpected way.

Back in September, a typhoon toppled a torii (the iconic sacred gates of Shinto shrines) at Watatsumi Shrine on the real island of Tsushima.

One of the priests at the shrine launched a Campfire campaign (basically the Japanese version of Kickstarter, as reported by Famitsu) to gather funds for the Torii’s restoration.

The campaign was launched less than a month ago (on November 27) and currently has 20 days to go. Yet, its original target of 5,000,000 yen (just north of $48,000) has already been overtaken four times with 20,177,777 yen donated at the moment of this writing by 1,513 supporters.

Below you can see the Torii in its original condition and after it was toppled, as portrayed in the Campfire campaign. Torii are most commonly seen at the entrance of Shinto shrines to help mark the transition from the mundane world to consecrated soil. If you have played Ghost of Tsushima, you have likely seen and crossed quite a few.

Announced at The Game Awards just over a week ago, Back 4 Blood is a new co-op shooter game from Turtle Rock Studios, best known for releasing the ever-popular Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 soon after that. Even to this day, L4D2 continues to be one of the best and most enjoyable co-op zombie shooter games to play on PC, and with Back 4 Blood, it’s clear that Turtle Rock is finally ready to refine that formula even further and take things to the next level.

I got a chance to check out the closed alpha over the weekend, and right off the bat, it certainly looks and feels like L4D2. The satisfying chunky gameplay is still intact; landing headshots with guns feels satisfying, as does lobbing off zombie heads with a machete or spiked bat.

The closed alpha gave me access to four different characters, each with their own passive perks to cater to different play styles. Evangelo is the slippery one; he moves fast, and has the ability to slip out of an enemy’s grab every few minutes. Holly specializes in melee combat, Walker is a tankier character with extra HP and extra ammo capacity, while Hoffman is more of a support character who can carry extra support and offensive items.

They all feel distinct, and even without any semblance of a story, they already feel every bit as charming and personable as the cast of L4D2.

Following yesterday’s announcement, Clouded Leopard Entertainment and Nihon Falcom released the first screenshots of The Legend of Heroes; Hajimari no Kiseki for Nintendo Switch.

The Switch version will release in Japan in summer 2021 alongside the PC version via Steam.

The game was originally released in August 2020 only for PS4, and has not been announced for the west for any platform just yet.

You can check out the screenshots in the gallery below.

The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki brings together the protagonists of the Trails games in a three-pronged JRPG with a story told through alternating points of view.

Yesterday, we also saw the reveal of the character designs of the hero and heroine of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki.

Switch fans in Japan can also expect The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV on March 18, 2021.

The Bigger Game – ARK: Survival Evolved

Xbox Games with Gold Predictions

It’s almost time for the offical announcement for what free games will be offered to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers for the very first month of 2021. And while we wait for that announcement, we have some Xbox Games with Gold predictions that have a solid chance of being included on that list.

For the previous month of December 2020, the free Games with Gold titles included The Raven Remastered and Bleed 2 for Xbox One players and Saints Row: Gat out of Hel and Stacking for Xbox 360.

Usually a larger Xbox One titles headlines the list every month, and for January 2021 we suspect that game will be ARK: Survival Evolved.

It has been a wild week, to say the least, for Cyberpunk 2077 and its developer CD Projekt Red. Reports of egregious performance issues on base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles warranted an apology from CD Projekt Red, which in turn resulted in a wave of refund requests and Sony even delisting the game from PSN. Well, the team at CD Projekt is hard at work on fixes for the game, and have just released Hotfix 1.05 on PlayStation and Xbox. PC versions of the game will follow shortly after.

This latest fix resolves a variety of visual, performance and quest breaking bugs that have been cropping up since launch. You can find the full list of fixes here, but here is a taste of what the hotfix entails.

Quests

Jackie will no longer disappear in The Pickup or The Heist.

Fixed an issue preventing players from landing the helicopter in Love like Fire.

Fixed an issue with Takemura not calling in Play it Safe.

It’s no longer possible to trigger the same dialogue twice in Big in Japan.

Fixed an issue with Delamain appearing upside down at the end of Don’t Lose Your Mind.

Saul now correctly reaches the van in Riders on the Storm.

Gameplay

Improved the reaction times of NPCs taking cover.

Corrected the number of shots needed to kill civilians from a distance while in combat.

The Bigger Game – Dark Souls: Remastered

PS Plus Free Games Predictions

It’s almost that time for Sony to announce what free games will be offered on PS Plus for the very first month of 2021. While we wait for the offical reveal, we have a few PS Plus predictions as to what games will be included for fun in the meantime.

For the current month of December 2020, the PS Plus free games were Just Cause 4, Rocket Arena, and Worms Rumble. All three games will continue to be free to download for PS Plus subscribers until Jan. 4.

Usually a larger game headlines the list, offering some bang for your buck so to speak, with last month’s being Just Cause 4. For January 2021 we suspect Dark Souls: Remastered would be a perfect AAA inclusion for PS Plus predictions.

Capcom is continuing its series of trailers dedicated to the weapons of the upcoming Monster Hunter game Monster Hunter Rise.

The first trailer we see today is dedicated to the powerful Great Sword, while the second showcases the game’s complex technique for the Switch Axe.

You can check out both trailers below.

“Overwhelming, devastating power. The Great Sword delivers meaty chops with incredible force. Charge its attacks for even more damage!

“Power Sheathe” is a silkbind attack comprised of a quick Wirebug-assisted dash and a sheathing motion that boosts your attack for a short time.”

Today Square Enix announced the Japanese release date for its train simulator Densha de GO!! Hashirou Yamanote-sen.

The game has been recently released for PS4 in Japan, and it’s the latest entry in the popular Densha de GO!! franchise.

It lets you enjoy running around Tokyo with a lineup of local trains on top of the Narita Express rapid train to the airport.

The titular Yamanote Line is one of the most iconic train lines in Tokyo, well-known for the green and grey livery of its cars and for running in a circle around the downtown area.

You can check out the trailer below showing the opening cutscene.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Densha de GO!! series, it’s a popular franchise of train simulator games that debuted in Japan all the way back in 1996.

Originally, it was produced by Taito, so it passed into Square Enix’s portfolio after the company’s acquisition in 2006.

Prior to the PS4 launch, the franchise hadn’t received a console release since the latest Nintendo DS game in 2010, with two arcade launches since.

Today D3 Publisher revealed a new trailer of its upcoming JRPG Maglam Lord.

The trailer focuses on introducing the characters of the game, including the demon lord (in male and female forms), their assistants, and the heroes that will fight by their side or better, will wield them.

We also get to see weapon customization and gameplay mechanics toward the end of the trailer.

You can enjoy it below.

Maglam Lord is developed by Summon Night 5 studio Felistella, while the scenario and the world view are by Summon Night series writer Kei Miyakozuki.

The character design and illustration are by lack, who is known for having worked on Fate/Grand Order (for instance, the art for Izou Okada).

The soundtrack is by Puresound, which worked on the Summon Night and Metal Max series.

The main theme is by Chiaki Fujita of Sing Like Talking, who previously worked on the theme of Summon Night 2.

[This article contains major spoilers for Attack on Titan season 3.]

With the final season of Attack on Titan now underway, it’s a good time to take a quick look back at the season that preceded it and how it elevated what initially appeared to be your run-of-the-mill action shounen anime to a true narrative powerhouse. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not exactly an expert when it comes to anime. I’m not well-versed in the ins and outs of what makes an anime series tick, and hell, I’m not even a fan of the genre in general.

At first glance, Attack on Titan seems to embody almost everything I hate about anime: it’s extremely over-the-top, it’s overdramatic, and everyone’s always yelling and crying all the time. If it wasn’t for the beautiful soundtrack and the exceptionally well-choreographed action, I likely would’ve dropped the series long before the first season even ended.

By the time I got to the third season, though, I was convinced that Attack on Titan featured a wonderfully intricate plot that could easily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with something like Game of Thrones… pre-season 6, that is.

It’s not a stretch to say that Attack on Titan has seen a noticeable dip in popularity as the series has progressed. The gap between its first two seasons stretched on for way too long, and by the time the series found its footing again, there were newer and bigger series to check out.

Following yesterday’s announcement at Jump Festa, today Bandai Namco released the first screenshots of the upcoming additional content for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

We get to take a look at the new DLC featuring Paikuhan as a playable character on top of Bardock and Gine’s costumes from the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie.

The set also includes Gine’s tail and wig to complete the getup.

The free update includes a Janemba CC Mascot. This is not all, and more will be announced at a later time.

Update and DLC will come in the spring of 2021, despite the fact that the game is now over four years old.

It feels like it’s been an awfully long time since we’ve had a proper Nintendo Direct. Instead of their usual lengthy video formats, Nintendo’s been taking a different approach this year by scattering their new announcements.

If the lack of a true Direct has been giving you the blues, this fan project will be sure to put a smile on your face.

Switch Stop on YouTube knew just how much people are infatuated and excited by the prospect of new game announcements in Nintendo Directs, so they came up with a creative way for people to make their own dream presentation.

The entire project takes place on YouTube. You start by making your first choice: which Smash Bros. character reveal should your Direct open with, platforming icon Rayman or Super Mario RPG’s very own Geno?

You click your choice to move onto the next video, which will present you with two new choices, which will take you to another video where you’ll make even more choices.

After you’ve picked your four announcements, you can sit back and watch your very own Nintendo Direct unfold with fan-made trailers and everything. It looks very official!

At the end, you’ll be graded on how good your Direct was. Did it have a healthy combination of new games and nostalgia? Did it end with a memorable announcement? You’ll get a score out of 10.

There are 16 total outcomes for your presentation, so you’ll need to play more than once if you want to see all of the possible fan trailers. My first presentation scored a 9/10, so I’ll be sitting here waiting for Nintendo to call me to ask for help with their next official Direct.

Paris in Microsoft Flight Simulator has a few dedicated landmarks, but it isn’t exactly exceptional. Third-party add-on developer Orbx is aiming to fix that.

Today the developer revealed that its TrueEarth team is developing a package that will surely enrich the city.

This should serve as a perfect complement for the recently-released Paris Orly airport.

Below you can check out a description, feature list, and gallery, keeping in mind that it’s a beta build. The release of the package is planned for January.

“Paris, the capital of France, has been one of Europe’s major centres of diplomacy, finance, commerce, fashion, science and the arts for the past 300 years. Paris, known for having beauty, elegance, and for being a boldly romantic city is transformed for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Our TrueEarth team, led by the legendary Tony Wroblewski, have packaged together 200 Points of Interest (POI) with 15 high-detail POIs. These carefully selected hero-asset POIs allow you to get up close and explore, whilst still maintaining excellent performance across the city.

Pokemon have been painted on airliners’ liveries for a long time, including ANA’s iconic and long-gone Pokemon Jets.

Lately, they’ve been more common on manhole lids, but a new Pokemon airliner has just been launched.

Miyazaki-based regional airline Solaseed Air just painted one of its fourteen 737 aircraft (specifically the Boeing 737-86N with registration JA812X for the planespotters out there) as “Nassy Resort in Miyazaki” portraying Exeggutor and its Alolan version. “Nassy” is Exeggutor’s Japanese name.

The choice of pokemon isn’t random, as Exeggutor is associated with the city of Miyazaki, which also has the famous Poke Lids portraying the cute coconut critter.

The livery was inaugurated yesterday, December 19, at Miyazaki Airport with a dedicated ceremony, and it’ll remain in service for about a year and a half. It even comes with matching headrest covers inside.

Perhaps less glamorous but no less cute are the Exeggutor buses. Those visiting Miyazaki will be able to ride three “Nassy Resort Buses” operating in the city and in the nearby Nobeoka and Miyanokojo.

Below you can check out a few pictures of the vehicles and their inauguration ceremonies, which came with the press release.

While players aren’t exactly waiting for Master Chief in Fortnite anymore, considering that he’s already there, Grif and Sarge from Red vs. Blue are rather eager to receive his visit.

Ina new trailer, we get to see a funny skit with the two popular multiplayer caricatures as they work with two new faces to prepare a welcome worth the Chief.

I wouldn’t know if I’d consider the attempt successful per-se, but the video is certainly funny.

You can watch it below.

Master Chief’s iconic suit joined Epic Games’ popular battle royale shooter back on December 11, following PlayStation icon Kratos.

Fortnite is currently available for basically every platform with a chip inside excluding iOS.

The game is currently deep into Season 5, which started this month and will end in March.

If you’re eager to fly the Bombardier CRJ in Microsoft Flight Simulator, Aerosoft released more goodies today.

First of all, we get a new volume of the manual, and more precisely part 2 of the operating manual, which looks really detailed, with a lot to learn to operate the aircraft correctly. You’ll have to log into the Aerosoft forums to download it, but it’s worth it if you’re interested in beginning your studies ahead of release.

That being said, Aerosoft intends to also release a series of video tutorials hosted by a CRJ pilot with thousands of hours on the aircraft.

Speaking of videos, another clip from the beta test was also released today, courtesy of Flyer0245. We see the basic features of autopilot being used in flight, including heading, altitude, and vertical speed modes.

Today, during the Gran Turismo Sport Nations Cup, Gran Turismo 7 producer Kazunori Yamauchi talked about the future.

Yamauchi-san mentioned that Polyphony Digital always pursues the best and don’t want to make concessions on anything. This is no longer just Yamauchi-san’s own way of thinking, but the mindset of all 200 or so staff at the studio.

In Japan they say “Divinity comes to reside in the details” and Yamauchi-san believes that it’s true. How much attention you pay to the fine details, how you hone things to perfection, and applying incredible amount of attention to this is Polyphony’s production style.

Quite interesting is the fact that Yamauchi mentions 200 or so staff at Polyphony Digital. The latest official figure was 170, so it’s quite possible that the studio may have staffed up to tackle the final stretch of development of Gran Turismo 7.

Later in the stream, Yamauchi-san mentioned that the developers at Polyphony have watched the growth of the drivers in the Gran Turismo Sport competitive scene over time, and they always exceed expectations and continue to move ever forward. And even for the Gran Turismo development team, this made them realize that they must also continue to grow and improve themselves toward the future. The GT Sport competitors gave them the courage to do so.

You can watch both clips below.

Today Mages announced a new visual novel dedicated to the popular manga and anime The Quintessential Quintuplets.

To be specific, the game is tied to the upcoming second anime season The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬ that will air in January and it’s titled “Go-Tobun no Hanayome: Natsu Omoide Mo Go-Tobun,” which translates as “Five Equal Brides ∬: Summer Memories Are Also Split in Five Equal Parts.”

I guess you could adapt the title to The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬: Summer Memories Are Also Quintessential.

It will be released in Japan on March 25 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The standard version will cost 7,800 yen plus tax, the limited edition (including five drama CDs) will be priced at 10,800 yen plus tax, while the download version will cost 7,000 yen plus tax.

The theme song will be performed by the voice actresses of the quintuplets themselves.

You can check out the trailer of the The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬ below.

Crossovers are always a relevant way for free-to-play games to draw in players (and their money) and War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is no exception.

During a livestream hosted today from Japan, Square Enix announced a collaboration with the popular JRPG NieR: Automata.

The crossover will start on December 23 in Japan, and will bring 2B and 9S as ultra-rare characters.

The event will end on January 5 and will also feature Adam and Eve as bosses.

At the moment, the event has been announced only for Japan, considering that the western servers are a bit behind in content. At the moment, we don’t know when it’ll come west, but it likely will at some point.

You can check out the trailer below.

If you want to learn more about the game, you can check out our interview with global version producer Hiroki Fujimoto.

Today Nihon Falcom hosted its Falcom Day 2020 Winter and announced two new platforms for the recent Trails game The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki.

The game will be released for Nintendo Switch and PC in summer 2021. The publisher is Clouded Leopard Entertainment.

Of course, for the moment this announcement is related to the Japanese market, but it’s quite likely that the game will come west for the same platforms at some point, on top of PS4, which was the original platform when the game launched in Japan and Asia back in August 2020.

The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki brings together the protagonists of the Trails games in a three-pronged JRPG with a story told through alternating points of view.

Earlier today, we also saw the reveal of the character designs of the hero and heroine of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki.

Switch fans in Japan can also expect The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV on March 18, 2021.

On the PS4 side, a remaster of the PSP classic Nayuta no Kiseki, titled Nayuta No Kiseki Kai, which will also come in Japan in 2021 for PS4.

2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the foundation of Nihon Falcom, and the popular JRPG studio surely seems to be determined to make it a year to remember for the fans.

Today Nihon Falcom hosted its Falcom Day 2020 Winter and Dengeki Online revealed the illustrations of the hero and heroine of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki.

You can check them out below, drawn by Katsumi Enami, known for his work on Zero no Kiseki, Ao no Kiseki, and more recently, Onee Chanbara Origin.

At the moment, not much is known about the two characters. The hero works as a “spriggan” (which is a sort of underground problem solver) running an agency named Arkride Solutions Office in the cosmopolitan capital of the Republic of Calvard.

The heroine is a student who visits the hero’s agency with a request and a junior of Renne.

During the playoffs of the Japanese national cup hosted at Jump Festa, Bandai Namco announced the new DLC characters for Dragon Ball FighterZ.

The new fighters are Super Baby 2 and Gogeta SS4. Super Baby 2 will be released on Jan. 15 while Gogeta SS4 will come at a later and yet unannounced time.

Those who purchased the FighterZ Pass will be able to access Super Baby 2 on Jan. 13.

You can check them out in action below.

We also learn that Dragon Ball FighterZ shipped 6 million units including both retail and digital downloads. To celebrate, all players will receive a new color for Vegeta and lobby avatars, which you can see below.

The previous update was at five million copies as of May 2020.

Today, during the celebrations of Jump Festa Online, Bandai Namco shared news about Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

First of all, the game has now passed 7 million copies shipped as of today including physical units and digital downloads. The latest update was at 6 million units back in May. That’s certainly not bad for a game released in 2016.

That’s why it shouldn’t surprise that it’s still getting new content, which is the topic of the next piece of news.

A new free update and a new paid DLC are coming in spring 2021.

The DLC will include a new character, Paikuhan, on top of Bardock and Gine’s costumes from the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie.

The free update will include Janemba turned into a healing mascot. The developers have promised additional details, so there’s likely going to be more on the menu.

You can check out the announcement slides below.

Can a the trailer of a military flight simulator make you cry? DCS World developer Eagle Dynamics set out to test that.

The studio has always proven itself capable of delivering rather amazing trailers and this is no exception, celebrating 2020’s achievement and teasing what is to come.

Combine what is essentially fighter jet (and prop) porn with the beautiful music by the masters of epic at Two Steps from Hell, and an uplifting message at the end of a trying year, and you may very well have tears streaming down your face by the end.

Incidentally, the music is by the same people who made the legendary launch trailer of Mass Effect 2 as impactful as it was. Good times.

The trailer also provides a tease of an Apache module for those eager to bring the iconic attack helicopter out for a spin.

You can check it out below.

If you’re unfamiliar with DCS World, it’s an absolutely gorgeous free-to-play sandbox combat flight simulator that offers a giant lineup of DLC aircraft for those who want to expand the experience.

It’s a trailerception at Atlus West, as they released a new trailer of the upcoming Persona 5 Strikers, but it’s a special one.

Basically, the video doesn’t focus as much as showing the game, but it features the English voice cast as they react to the announcement trailer.

I’m not sure why they’re so surprised, considering that the trailer leaked several days earlier, but it’s still nice to see for those who enjoy the English voice-overs.

You can check it out below.

The western version of the game developed by Koei Tecmo as a sequel of the original Persona 5 will finally be released for PS4, Switch, and PC on February 23, 2021.

If you’re unfamiliar with Persona 5 Strikers, you can read an official description below.

Back in 2019, SimulaM’s upcoming game “I Am Jesus Christ” created quite a stir on the press, but over the following year the game has made progress.

Now, it got another trailer just in time to celebrate Christmas, showing more of what we can expect from the game.

The developers have not rested on laurels, having posted regular devlogs on their YouTube channel, and they’re now preparing to hit Kickstarter, with more information coming down the line.

Whether crowdfunding will manage to bless development with the gift of money or not, history will tell. In the meanwhile, you can go back to that cold night over 2,000 years ago with this new trailer.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, which will come to PC via Steam, you can read an official description below.

While Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting new airport add-on at a breathtaking pace, most of them are in North America and Europe.

Aerosoft just announced the upcoming release of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (WADD) in Bali, which is certainly a nice break from western countries as we head toward a more exotic destination.

It’s the second-busiest international airport in Indonesia and it’s known for its stunning terminal built to resemble traditional Balinese architecture.

Ngurah Rai sees a lot of airline traffic from basically all over the world, and it can easily accommodate the largest airliners like 747s and a380s, not that there is many left of those flying nowadays.

You can check out the first images below, including handy comparison with the rather mediocre default scenery.

When Sakura Revolution: Blooming Maidens launched in Japan a few days ago, western fans found themselves locked out.

A persistent maintenance message signalled that Sega had IP-locked the game only to fans playing in Japan.

Of course, crafty players managed to play via a VPN, but that’s always a bother.

The issue lasted only a few days as the message has now disappear and western players have been allowed into the game.

No official announcement has been made by Sega, so we don’t know why the lock has been removed. We also don’t know if this is permanent, so keep in mind that this may change at any time before you invest in the game.

The game can’t be downloaded from the mobile stores in the west without going through a couple of loopholes. iOS users will have to make a Japanese account, while Android users can use QooApp.

Of course, the game is available only in Japanese at the moment, and there is no information about a western release of Sakura Revolution: Blooming Maidens just yet.

You can check out the latest trailer below.

Bandai Namco released a brand new pair of videos about the upcoming MMORPG Blue Protocol, showing new actions.

The first action is the Assault Action and can be used by melee classes. The damage dealt varies according to the height from which you drop on the enemy.

The second is Dodge Attack and lets you avoid and quickly attack again.

You can check out both videos.

Today, during a broadcast from Japan, Sega showcased new gameplay and info about Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.

First of all, we get to see a brand new version of the original cinematic trailer of the game with added vocals improved character models,

You can check it out below. It definitely looks impressive.

Sega announced Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis a few months ago. It will basically be a new game operated in parallel with the original Phantasy Star Online 2.

Next, we get to see the main visual art:

Today Bandai Namco revealed the trailer of the next DLC characten who will be launched for the fighting action game Jump Force.

It’s Yoruichi Shihouin from Bleach, and apparently she’s as electric as ever. She will be released in 2021.

You can check her out in action in the video below, alongside gameplay recorded by YouTube user GamersPrey.

Today, during the celebrations for the online Jump Festa Level-5 presented new trailers about its upcoming mecha game Megaton-Kyuu Musashi.

First of all, the game has been confirmed to be coming for PS5 as well on top of PS4 and Nintendo Switch, but a release date has not been announced just yet.

We also get the reveal of three new characters, Momoka Saotome, Kota Akutagawa, and Takumi Kindaichi.

Last, but certainly not least, we get three new trailer. One gives a general overview of the game. The second showcases the customization system. The third shows off battle gameplay.

You can watch them all below alongside images of the new characters from the official site.

Today the house of Mario and Zelda aired a special Nintendo Direct broadcast featuring the upcoming theme park attraction Super Nintendo World.

The attraction is introduced directly by Shigeru Miyamoto, who provides a good look at what we can expect. It looks pretty neat.

It even comes with interactive features that link up with your smartphone.

Of course, we also see a gift shop with plenty of merch to syphon every yen out of your wallet.

There are the inevitable cafeteria and pop-corn available in Caramel Peach and Mushroom flavors. Interestingly, Miyamoto-san says that walking around while eating may seem rude. This is actually a little-known fact about Japan, where you really shouldn’t do that as it may bother others around you. Theme parks are indeed the exception to this unwritten rule.

Lastly, we hear that plans are in place to open Super Nintendo World at the Universal Studios parks in Orlando, Hollywood, and Singapore.

You can watch it below.

With the upcoming Bombardier CRJ add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator coming soon, Aerosoft is showcasing more about the aircraft package.

First of all, we get two more screenshots showcasing the approach phase from outside and from the cockpit.

You can check both out below.

Today those who like to add more airports to their low-cost routes in Microsoft Flight Simulator have two more choices.

By low-cost, I don’t mean that the add-ons are cheap, but simply that they’re two hubs popular among low-cost carriers.

PilotPlus released London Southend and JetStream Designs released Paris Orly.

Today third-party add-on developer SimWorksStudios released a new trailer of its upcoming add-on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The Zenith CH701 STOL won’t likely fulfill your airline captain dreams, but it’s certainly well-suited for explorers.

As the name suggests (“STOL” stands for “Short Take-Off and Landing”) it’s capable to take-off in 20 meters and land in 30. That’s basically a postal stamp.

You can check out the trailer below, made by the cinematic wizards at
AviationLads.

The add-on releases on Dec. 24 and it’ll be available at the developer’s own store and Orbx.

It’ll even come with its own airfields and bush trip.
