Bravely Second will be playable at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix announced during a live stream event held just a short while ago. New jobs and a new asterisk holder will be featured at the expo next month.

Tokyo Game Show 2014 runs between September 18 and September 21. The first two days are business days, while the latter two are reserved for the public.

Hyrule Warriors has almost arrived overseas (well, close enough)! To prepare yourself for launch, check out this video covering the title’s origins, gameplay, pre-order bonuses, several other tidbits, and more.


It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Not too much has changed in the top five, though Hyrule Warriors has finally exited following its release in Japan.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Persona 5, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS top the latest list. For the full lineup, head past the break.

With more and more Kickstarter campaigns popping up these days, it would be tough to cover them all without overloading the site. And thus, the Kickstarter roundup was born! We’ll be posting these each weekend (assuming I don’t forget… haha) so that we can bring the latest Kickstarter efforts to your attention.

Here’s today’s roundup:

Three different companies contributed to Hyrule Warriors to make the game possible. Omega Force and Team Ninja, two subsidiaries under Koei Tecmo, created the project directly. Nintendo also helped out in some capacity.

But what exactly was each company’s function? We now know courtesy of producer Yosuke Hayashia, who divulged to ONM this month:

Omega Force were kind enough to create the “basic Dynasty Warriors style gameplay”, Team Ninja made the “one-on one” and “boss battles” sections for us, and Nintendo gave us the “understanding required for the Zelda series”. As we were using the Zelda IP, Nintendo did detailed checks at the beginning of development, but what really stood out from a developmental perspective was Nintendo’s constant encouragement to “take a freer approach in the creation process”.
