A listing on TegraZone (Nvidia’s Android store) lists The Conduit as ‘TBA’. Representitives for Nvidia have also confirmed The Conduit is in development for Project Shield but didn’t supply anymore information outside of naming High Voltage Software as the developer.

Polygon (who made the discovery) asked both SEGA and High Voltage Software for comment but neither company have responded.

Edge Investigate What the Japanese Critics Are Saying About Yakuza 5

Thursday, January 10th, 2013

Edge have run an interesting feature discussing the critical reaction to Yakuza 5 which was released in Japan on December 6th 2012:

“A massive game then, full of quirky and unique content, with a compelling tale tying it all together. As the current generation of consoles finally seems to be coming to its close, it’s a shame that even with such glowing praise in its native Japan, there haven’t been any plans announced to release in the west what what could be one of PS3′s last major Japanese exclusives. “In terms of volume and quality of content, this is the high point in the Yakuza series. A definite ‘buy’,” says Impress Watch. Would that we could.”

Yakuza 5 is still without a Western release date as is the HD re-release of Yakuza 1 & 2. Get your act together SEGA!

Spiral Knights To Add Partner Characters Called Battle Sprites

Thursday, January 10th, 2013

Spiral Knights, the PC exclusive MMO from Three Rings is to receive an update this Spring which adds partner characters called Battle Sprites to the game.

Here’s some more detail from the SEGA Blog:

“E-Class Battle Sprites are companions: think along the lines of a robotic pet who will follow you around, only if your pet could also shoot fire or improve your ability to withstand onslaughts of lasers. The Battle Sprites will evolve, level-up, and gain new skills: they can add additional firepower to your party, or help by buffing you against enemy fire.”

There is no hard release date other than “Spring” at this time. More info as we get it.
