Keiji Inafune met with Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu earlier today to discuss a few items pertaining to Azure Striker Gunvolt.
According to the game’s official Twitter account, Gunvolt will be modified in the US version once again so that the character’s braided hair will be kept in tact. This was originally removed from the Japanese version – as shown above.
Inafune-san and Aizu-san also discussed the character design of Gunvolt for US version. #gunvolt

Inafune-san concluded that Gunvolt keeps "braided hair" in US version too. Because he emphasises the design. #gunvolt

The Azure Striker Gunvolt Twitter account also touched on Gunvolt’s midriff:
As for the "bare midriff", leave the Gunvolt's separate clothes design as it is, we decided to make him wear the black skin tights. #gunvolt

After initially pulling the plug on the 3DS version, Renegade Kid now hopes to bring its survival horror title to Nintendo’s portable once again. If the game’s Kickstarter meets its minimum funded goal of $580,000, backers will be able to choose the 3DS version as their platform of choice for download codes.
Cult County does have a ways to go before it reaches its Kickstarter target. The campaign has just 16 days to raise well over $500,000.
Nintendo could be planning a Mario Kart 8 Wii U Premium Pack for Europe, if the image above is to be believed.
French website Gameblog reports that the bundle will be available on May 30 – the racer’s release date. It’ll include a black 32GB console, GamePad, a copy of Mario Kart 8, and a free 7 day trial for Wii U Karaoke.
A price point of €299 is expected for the Mario Kart 8 Wii U Premium Pack. An official announcement should be made soon.
Some interesting things in this video. It’s mostly stuff we’ve seen before, though we do get a (very) brief look at Mario Kart TV, and there’s also a mysterious star count towards the end after one of the races is finished.
Thanks to PS4forever for the tip.
