This post is sort of a work-in-progress once again! As some of you may have noticed, we’re starting to add Europe and Canada to the list. I think that we’ll limit things to Amazon though, otherwise things will start to really get out of hand. If any of you have suggestions or ideas for the format of this post, let me know!

Curve Digital has published a couple of developer videos for Nova-111. Both have been posted below.

On Twitter, UFO Crash Games shared news about plans for a FullBlast patch. The upcoming update will address “some minor bugs” as well as glitches.

UFO Crash Games said in its Twitter message:

It’s not yet known when the update will be available, but it’s likely coming soon.

We have more footage from the English build of Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. Watch the latest video below.

Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut previously came to Europe on August 27. This Thursday, North America will be getting the game as well.

The official Q.U.B.E. Twitter account confirmed a few days ago that the game’s launch is scheduled for September 10:

During PAX Prime 2015, off-screen footage of Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode was recorded. Check it out in the video below.

If a listing on Nintendo’s website is accurate, Poncho is due out on the North American Wii U eShop this coming Thursday. A September release window has already been confirmed, so this date may very well stick. We’ll let you know if anything changes with the game’s launch.

Towards the very end of August, the Genei Ibun Roku #FE website was updated with two new staff blogs. Art director Fumitaka Yano and Hideo Minaba from CyDesignation both discussed the designs of Mirages. While battling, the main characters merge themselves with Mirages, who take the appearance of characters from the Fire Emblem series.

We now have complete translations of the two blog posts. You’ll find them after the break.
