At the Tokyo Game Show last month, Capcom announced that an anime is planned for Monster Hunter Stories. This will debut in Japan sometime next year.
A new piece of information about the anime has since surfaced. Specifically, it’s now confirmed that David Production is behind the show. This team is perhaps best known for working on the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders anime.

At the end of the Ace Attorney 6’s Tokyo Game Show trailer, we got a glimpse of Apollo Justice at the very end. It turns out he’ll have quite a big role in the game. As revealed in this week’s issue of Famitsu, Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice are featured in Ace Attorney 6 as dual protagonists.
Famitsu also says that the game is set in both Japan and “Kurain Kingdom.” Prosecutor Payne (Gaspen Payne) will meet Phoenix here. In Famitsu’s article, it’s mentioned that the country features an undefeated prosecutor as well.
Earlier today we reported on quite a bit of new material regarding Medabots 9, including a new trailer and the opening of the official website. The folks over at Siliconera have translated the character profiles found on the website. Here’s some insight into a couple of the main characters:
Tenma Wakakoma
Tenma the protagonist isn’t too audacious, and he isn’t that experienced when it comes to Medabots, but he gets enrolled into an elite academy, where he finds some unwanted attention. It doesn’t take long for people to notice his abilities, and he joins an “exploration club” at the school.
