Quickies: Two awesome forces one potentially awesome fighter

One of the things I disliked about my hiatus, was that I was entirely out of the loop on some really awesome things underway. One thing in particular was the fantastic  Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena which made the rounds at Tokyo Game Show. The game is being developed by Arc Systems Works, the masterminds behind Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, and the lesser known, but equally awesome Hokuto No Ken. 

As amazing as this concept is for a Persona based fighting game to happen, the story of how it happened is equally interesting.

"It was Atlus who wanted to do a Persona 4 fighting game and contacted us because our specialty is being a fighting game developer," Minoru Kidooka, President of Arc System Works, said in a Siliconera interview.

"It’s a funny story, [laughs] Atlus first contacted us through a general inquiry e-mail at hello@arcsys.com," Kidooka recounted. "It’s rare, but not completely unusual. While we do work with contacts, our front door is also open for all publishers!"

Clearly by happenstance was this event brought up, and now we have quite interesting results. check out the video footage.





 This reminds me of an upgraded version of Jojo's bizarre adventure!!

The sprites are damn sexy, and the backgrounds look gorgeous. the action looks beautifully savage!! The good news is that after location testing, it's been stated on Siliconera that the game will be in arcades as early as next month, and will be available for 360 and PS3 by Summer.

"A bit more surprising is Persona 4 The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena. Atlus is teaming up with Arc System Works for a 2D fighter that will be released first for arcades in Spring 2012, then for PS3 and Xbox 360 in Summer 2012.

Developed by the team behind Arc's BlazBlue fighting series, the Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena has a new story that takes place two yeas after the events of Persona 4. Characters from Persona 4 and Persona 3 will feature in the game."

I'll be talking more about the game as I find out more information, and I'll be drooling over the game for the remainder of this week (lol )

Game On!

Five Days with the 3DS

"I want to get a 3DS for Ocarina of time " She says, as she smiled at me. My current girlfriend is a hardcore Zelda fan. That's just one of the things that has impressed me about her. It was only later on that i realized that she had been playing Ocarina hardcore for years and had scoured all of hyrule and it's outer provinces for every single secret, but I'm getting ahead of myself. This is about her interest in getting a 3DS, and how it ultimately brought me back out of my gaming slump.

Merry Christmas

like her, i am serious about my shawpins

No, I know what day it is. It's been an entire week since the day of Christ's supposed birth, however I am referring to the real Christmas which happens to be the first week of January. This is the best time of year to be a gamer. You're probably reading this and saying to yourself "what the hell is he talking about?" Well let's think about it; The sheer amount of discounted games that are just sitting in bins, and on shelves are mind-numbing!! Games fresh off of the holiday season, are just waiting to be bought and played.


Let me tell you a few of the wonderful finds I've acquired.

Superman has Kryptonite, Green Lantern has the color yellow, Martian Manhunter has fire. Sony apparently has themselves as their main weakness.  Let's look at the news footage, shall we? I'll be commenting as we go...

Site update

No FNF this week, I'm moving this month's up a week in order to make some alterations and checking for consistency in information. I have to do some extensive playing of this month's game in order to ensure that I know what the hell i'm talking about when I do the guide portions.

God forbid I pull a Gaming Bolt and post that Rival Schools is developed by Namco , or some other dumb statement caused by lack of research (and/or caring about anything other than wish-listing for some game that may not ever see the light of day).

Two - I've been fighting with the whole writing thing lately, and to be honest, I was all sorts of stuck on what to write about. the holidays are kicking my arse right now, but I think I got some things to write about now, and I'm cooking up some interesting things.

Three - I'm thinking of making some adjustments to the blog format. Nothing too major, just some additional things to cover besides games, and bgms. working through ideas will have more info on that after the new year.

That's it. I'll be posting up new content soon. bear with me, peeps..

Game On.

So about last month......

da da da daaaaaaaaaa

I'm sure multiple people were wondering what was going on with the state of this blog. I figured i would give you a somewhat detailed account of what i've been doing in the span of last month.
