Gundam Breaker 3 (PS4, PS Vita)


The Asia version is going to include English subtitles! I played some of the first Gundam Breaker game in raw Japanese, it's a lot of fun. You fight other mobile suits and pick up their parts to customise your own mecha, and can use whatever you loot to make all sorts of crazy things!

And to celebrate, they've made the iOS version temporarily free! (Info)

I already own this game on Xbox 360, it's a pretty fun game.

Flowers -Le volume sur printemps- (PC)


One of the rare moment when JAST decide to release something on Steam. It's a yuri VN by Innocent Grey - whose other games (e.g. Kara no Shoujo) have been released in English by MangaGamer.

The demo for Flowers is live: http://store.steampowered.com/app/445440/

So far, folks aren't overly enamoured with what they've seen of the translation. I've had a brief look and it's got obvious typos and is just... kind of soulless. Let's see whether JAST can get it all fixed and ready before launch, this demo hasn't done them any favours so far.

Pokemon special Nintendo Direct:


Watch it on the Nintendo website.


  • Happy 20th Anniversary of Pokemon being launched in Japan
  • Pokemon Sun & Moon will come out late this year
  • Pokemon Sun & Moon will come out in two more languages than previous Pokemon games - Simplfied and Traditional Chinese
  • Pokemon red / blue / yellow will be on Virtual Console tomorrow
  • Pokemon red / blue / yellow on VC will be compatible with Pokemon Bank, so you can put them in there from the VC versions of the Gameboy games, and take them out in other Pokemon Bank compatible Pokemon games.


So now I guess everyone can catch MissingNo and corrupt all their later Pokemon games!

Pokemon Yellow Special Edition 2DS

It's like a brand new 20 year old gameboy. :P

I think it should come preloaded with Tetris and some Game & Watch as well!
