Katrielle Layton is starring as the protagonist in Lady Layton. It’s a significant change for the series, as a female is taking the lead role.

As for why it was decided to have Katrielle featured in the new entry, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino told Famitsu this week that roughly half of the franchise’s user base is female. Even though there might be a feeling that men do not connect with male characters with the same going for women and female characters, Hino still hopes to appeal to the latter demographic. With drama series, main female characters were able to become big hits after women responded well to them.

Hino also mentioned to Famitsu that Lady Layton has various chapters with their own stories. The overall structure can be compared to that of a television series.

Nintendo has a few things in store for Gamescom 2016 later this month, aside from playable games. The company has now shared a bit more about its plans.

Pokemon developer Shigeki Morimoto, Splatoon developer Hisashi Nogami, and a developer behind Dragon Quest VII will all be appearing as guests. Tim Feldner is set to moderate the Nintendo houseparty on stage which will feature guests, signing session, live demos, contests, and more.

A select group of fans will be able to try out Zelda: Breath of the Wild at Gamescom. To have a shot at playing the demo, you’ll need to win a spot in the current contest (until August 8 for those in Germany, Austria or Switzerland) or win in the Pokken Tournament, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 8 tournament at the Gamescom. Players who are victorious in the tournaments will also receive a trophy.

With Dragon Ball: Fusions having just arrived in Japan, Bandai Namco has made another video for the game showing off some of the different fusions. View it below.

In 2017, Story of Seasons (otherwise known as Bokujou Monogatari) will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Marvelous has now opened a special website for its Japanese audience here.

Bokujou Monogatari was previously known as Harvest Moon in the west. However, after Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning, the series switched names to Story of Seasons, and was directly handled by Marvelous / XSEED in territories outside of Japan.

Natsume always held the rights to the Harvest Moon name, and started making its own farming titles beginning in 2014 with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. The company will also be bringing out Harvest Moon: Skytree Village later this year.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 has just a little more ways to go before its ready for release. Today, Inti Creates introduced a pair of new characters: Asrock and Jibryll. An official update on the two should be shared soon, but both are confirmed to be new bosses in the game.

Here’s a look at both:

Asrock’s stage was actually shown during yesterday’s episode of Denjin Getcha. You can find that recording below, along with another look at the opening stage.
