SEGA of Japan’s arcade-exclusive game Shining Force Cross Elysion has received a version C upgrade which means SEGA have decided to plug that with a new trailer. The game is a sort of LAN RPG made for multiplayer; check it out:
Three Rings’ PC MMORPG Spiral Knights is hosting a special Kataclysmic Confrontation event that runs until February 13th. Check out the full details below:
“What: Kataclysmic Confrontation is a new event for Spiral Knights – it will run for a limited time, and, as with all invasions of phantom felines, will return in the future! Due to the excessive danger of the Black Kat invasion, these missions are only available for Knights who have achieved rank 4-1 and up.
Event Goals: The object of the event: to collect Ancient Page tokens from Black Kats. Ancient Page tokens will be awarded either as daily Prestige Mission rewards, or as drops from individual Black Kat monsters via missions from the Arcade.
Meow? The villain of this event – the Black Kat! This is a new monster type equipped with a power ability to snub any food you offer it … and curse your immortal soul! Seriously though, the Black Kats deliver curse damage, so watch out for that. They can be randomly found in place of any Spookat-type monster in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 level of the Clockworks.”
There is also new gear, armour and furniture to be bought from the game’s Montague, within the Moorcroft Manor. As you can see above, it appears that some Metal Sonic-themed armour is one of these items available.
Those lucky Japs and their Phantasy Star! The PS Vita version of Phantasy Star Online 2 launches in Japan this month and there’s a new trailer to celebrate. Check it out below:
Phantasy Star Online 2 for PS Vita is not scheduled for a Western release. However, the PC version is still making its’ way here, but doesn’t have a release date at this time. We assume it should be sometime this year.
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.
