Azure Striker Gunvolt is coming out in Japan on August 20. Siliconera reports that the North American launch will take place “in the weeks that follow, if all goes as planned.”
At the moment, Inti Creates is currently working on plans for a potential European release, which may include several languages – unlike the North American version.
Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu has also commented on the decision to have partial voice-acting for Azure Striker Gunvolt in North America. This edition of the game only has voices during the action portions. There will not be any voices during conversations.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Games is cooking up a patch for Amillo. The first update will improve the game’s frame rate, address bugs, and more.
Here’s what’s planned for the patch in full:
1) Frame Rate issues (more to do with audio asset loading than framerate)
2) Terror Bug in 3-1 (aka sometimes no Worm Boss in 3-1)
3) Bonus 2D levels scoring (some levels are impossible to get achievement Gold at the moment)
4) Progression to 100%. Items 2-3 and some level scoring prevent completionists from getting 100% on the game
5) Some optimizations that should help when running off external USB drives
6) 6-1 missing cube fix (shouldn’t have that missing icon at all – there is no hidden cube in this level
7) Improve colour and sharpness
Fuzzy Wuzzy Games will also address “a few other things we’ve noticed from user comments on Miverse and Twitter.”
Amazon currently has The Legend of Zelda Box Set on sale for $80. By purchasing it now, you’ll save $80 from the MSRP.
It’s important to note that this is a lightning deal. Today’s sale will only be live for a few hours, or until stock runs out.
