Time Travelers, Now Multiplatform, Detailed

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 06:48 AM PDT

It’s been a while since Level-5 let the public have a peek at Time Travelers, the 3DS adventure game penned by Jiro Ishii of 428 fame. Famitsu magazine let out some more details this week, and the biggest news for net-forum console warriors may be that the game’s no longer a 3DS exclusive — instead, it’ll be coming out sometime in 2012 for the 3DS, PSP, and Vita.

Time Travelers is set in Tokyo circa 2031, a place where a lot seems to be happening all at once. 18 years previous, a massive explosion — whether it was a natural phenomenon or a terror act was never determined — literally ripped a hole in the skyline which still exists today. A space elevator shoots into the sky from the harbor, and holographic advertising lines the streets. The story is centered around Mikoto Shindo, a girl with natural time-travel skills that gets involved with thwarting the plans of Skeleton, a new terrorist group that kicks off the game by hijacking a downtown bus.

The adventure, which will feature full voice work and full 3D visuals, also features the following characters:

- Hina Fushimi, a TV personality who chases after the terrorists in hopes of landing a job as an investigative journalist.
- Yuri Fukase, Mikoto’s classmate whose cold standoffishness hides a secret behind his past.
- Soma Kamiya, a police detective who’s force to do Skeleton’s bidding after they take his family hostage.
- Hyugo Shindo, a former first-class scientist who now mainly uses his name to bilk investor money for imaginary time-machine projects. (Whether he’s related to Mikoto has not been revealed.)
- Ressentiment, a 30-year-old college dropout who has yet to find a real job and instead patrols the streets as a would-be costumed superhero.

Check out last year’s trailer for Time Travelers, back when it was still 3DS only.

Poor Valkyria Chronicles II Sales Mean No VCIII for the West

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 06:36 PM PDT

Valkyria Chronicles III

Don’t expect to see a localized version of Valkyria Chronicles III: Unrecorded Chronicles in North America or Europe anytime soon.

Sega’s Hiroshi Seno has revealed to GameSpot that the publisher has no plans to create an English version of the RPG for western markets. That’s thanks to the overall lack of popularity of the PlayStation Portable (which the second and third VC games were made for) in those regions and the poor sales of the second game.

Valkyria Chronicles II was released last August to fairly strong reviews. Its predecessor wasn’t a huge seller on PlayStation 3 in North America but was much beloved by those who did play it. A fan campaign did manage to lead to a sizable jump in sales, though not enough to convince Sega to create another console title.

Valkyria Chronicles III

Valkyria III was rumored after URL registration were discovered last year. Sega teased it was coming and then accidentally confirmed it ahead of the official announcement last September. It was released in Japan this past January, earning a 36 (of 40) score from Famitsu.

Seno said Sega may release a downloadable version of VC for Vita, but again, that does fans in the west no good if the game isn’t localized. Knowing fans of the series — and the fan campaign that ensued with the first game is the perfect example of this — it wouldn’t be surprising to see an attempt to change Sega’s mind.

Age of Wulin (CN)

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 06:36 PM PDT


So, after the previous tour of Shaolin, this time I will be taking a tour of Wudang. If you noticed, the Wudang clan in Age of Wulin uses dual swords as the main weapon starting off. The weapon itself is 1 item, not 2 single swords by the way. I don’t think I came across a game where Wudang utilized this weapon (heavy 2-handed sword is actually a legit weapon according to Wudang lore, another branch of Wudang), but I am kind of lazy to dig further into the history books. And oh, both males and females characters are accepted into Wudang.

Wudang is a huge place, with cliffs and more cliffs going up to the skies. Much space is still rather empty, but all these will just give Snail Game more creativity in placing new NPCs, Miracle Encounters and quests as the game development progresses. I am touring Er Mei clan now, and if you think Wudang and Shaolin is huge, Er Mei will be bringing “huge” to the next level…
