Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is to be released in November by SEGA UK.

So we're not going to be waiting 2 years this time (and those thinking of getting it from the US can now hold back because of that).

Possible Senran Kagura Shonovi Versus Kickstater for a physical edition?

http://www.marvelousgames.com/forumIn/t ... /#post-819

From what I know I doubt that can happen (they did say that they will try and get physical versions for other titles released in the future but at the moment they can't since they've never tried the Vita and it's risky). I also noticed the fans on PlayStation EU Blog are also upset with the digital only decision.

I do hope that Estival Versus (the PS4/Vita title out in 2015) will get a physical release. I can bet Deep Crimson will get a physical release given Burst did (and sold well).

Re: The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thr

A lot of new information were currently shown in private for those who attended certain SE events. Here's the round up of the footage shown (like DOOM, recorded footage was not allowed):
Square Enix held a Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix fan event in Los Angeles earlier today. The event began with Livan playing Kingdom Hearts songs like "Kairi" and "Hand in Hand" on a piano. Surprise guest, Kingdom Hearts composer Yoko Shimomura joined him for duets of "The Other Promise" and "Dearly Beloved."

All the way at the end was a little teaser for Kingdom Hearts III. Tetsuya Nomura, Kingdom Hearts series director, said it was too early to show worlds, but wanted to show fans something new. We were not allowed to record any footage from the teaser, which opened with concept art for Heartless in the upcoming game. One enemy looked like a souped up Blue Rhapsody Heartless with flames around it. Another enemy looked like the Soldier Heartless type with angel wings. A new enemy, a large Heartless with a bull-horned helmet, looked like a knight. There was also a tiny Archer heartless holding a bow with a quiver on his back. Some of these were sketches, but others like the Knight Heartless were 3D models.

A clip of Sora wearing his Kingdom Hearts II costume was shown next. He had the Oathkeeper keyblade in his hand which could transform into a gigantic gun. When fired, Sora would rock back a little bit and a star-like projectile fired from the bazooka-like weapon.

The next scene showed a town with white houses stacked on top of each other and huge windmills. This town seemed grand and tranquil, not unlike Twilight Town, but instead of a sunset palette the buildings were primarily white. A plaque underneath said "Cable Town" and the camera zoomed into one of the buildings. Doors opened and the camera panned horizontally by chess pieces (one of the pieces had Mickey’s head on top) and a chess board. The scene switched to Sora entering the room and walking towards the
More Kingdom Hearts 3 details will be revealed in 2015.

In other news, rumours have appeared that Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD Remaster and HyperDimension Neptunia games will be ported to the PlayStation 4 based on listings in Europe via USK and online shopping websites.

I hope this is the right place to ask this - I'm really interesting in picking up Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax - but I would rather order it from a website that operates in the UK to avoid a massive import charge. I did some searching around and found - http://www.genkivideogames.com - but has anyone here used them before? Also, does anyone know any other UK-based companies like them?

Hmm... the postage doesn't look that bad when it comes to multiple orders but the prices are quite high in a similar way that United Publications (UK that is) has their prices (I'm guessing the Import VAT is included in the price, hence why Dengeki Bunko is like what £51.99?!). They have Initial D Extreme Stage so I might try them out.

EDIT: And they have the Japanese Senran Kagura games, interesting.

They do seem to be new (actually they've been around since 2005..) hence the lack of games in their catalogue but there is a request option.

I think I bought a PS2 from them once (needed a specific model to replace another and they were the only people who had stock in the UK). They were fine, no complaints.

PortStation 4, amirite?

I'll probably pass on FFX, since I don't like either of them. I'll have to see how many Neptunia games are bundled together, though.
