Last week we heard about Crimson Shroud, one of the many games being crammed into Level-5’s Guild 01. Today we have details about, Liberation Girl, Yasumi Matsuno’s contribution to the package.
Matsuno’s previous work includes Ogre Battle 64, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and MadWorld.
Read on below for new Liberation Girl details.
– Control high school girl Shoko
– Shoko is the president of Japan
– Shoko boards her Liberation Machine “Kamui” so she can free Japan from an occupying nation
– Saizou Kira, the former top assistant to Shoko’s dad, helps out Shoko
– Saizou was the president before Shoko
– Saizou became Shoko’s assistant after Shoko’s father’s death
– Saizou lends support from the mother ship during combat
– Shoko’s mech is 11 meters tall, can transform between flying and robot forms
– The machine will only execute attacks if Shoko is pilot
– Shield Bullet: An energy field that surrounds the Kamui. It can be used as bullets for attacks and as a shield for defense.
– Bomb Attack: The primary weapon on the Kamui. It can send out a lock-on attack and a laser. As you execute consecutive strikes on your foes, its strength and frequency increase
– Special Attack One: Tokkou: This special attack is for use against large enemies. You enter a special attack mode which requires that you slide the touch pen on the lower screen.
– Special Attack Two: Katana: This attack can strike all enemies in a wide range. You have to build up your katana gauge in order to use it.
– Liberation Girl has the backing of some major names. In addition to Suda 51, who’s serving as director, the game has animation from bones, character designs from Yusuke Kozaki (No More Heroes), mechanical design direction from Shigeto Koyama (Heroman), and ship design by Mahiro Maeda.

Atlus just dropped off this email confirming a reprint for Radiant Historia. If you have a 3DS or a DS, you won’t want to miss out on this game again. It’s been a hit among critics/fans, and prices for it have been as much as $100 or more.
You can pre-order Radiant Historia on Amazon/Amazon.ca/EBGames.ca.
We know of just one title hitting the Nintendo Download services next week. We’ll find out about the full list on Thursday.

As far as we know, Tecmo Koei is still preparing Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge for the launch of Wii U. It doesn’t sound like Team Ninja is looking to rush the game out the door, though.
Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi told IndustryGamers that the studio is looking “to take some time to figure out how to make Ninja Gaiden 3 innovative and fit with the hardware.”
He said:
“Right now, we want to develop for Wii U, but we need to take some time to figure out how to make Ninja Gaiden 3 innovative and fit the hardware. We’ll think about Wii U and see how we can implement new features instead of rushing it.”

Guinness World Records has sent out a listing of the top 50 video game endings. 13,519 fans participated online to determine the results.
You can find the listing in the new Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition book, which is on sale now.
How do you folks feel about the results?
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada isn’t sure about which Wii U feature he’s most looking forward to working with. That’s because he (along with his team) has been “in the research phase” of investigating the console’s hardware.
Harada told Nintendo Gamer in its February issue:
“We’re still in the research phase of the capabilities of the hardware so we’re not sure about which aspect is really going to stand out. We probably won’t understand that fully until some time next year.”
Keep in mind that this interview was conducted in late 2011. I’m sure Harada’s team has made some progress on Wii U since then. I wonder if he’s still working on that new Tekken project for the system…
