You can now put down a digital pre-order for Yakuza 5 on PSN for Playstation 3. The game releases later this year (still no firm release date) and a pre-order will guarantee you an exclusive theme for your PS3 dashboard. Hooray.
Also confirmed for the Western release of Yakuza 5 is all the Japanese DLC, included with a purchase of the game as standard. One of these packs is called, “Another Drama” and features detailed sub-plots for each of the 5 playable characters.
Hucast’s next Dreamcast release is the vertical-scrolling shooter Ghost Blade and after a serious set-back when the previous programmer left the project, the game is now set for a release this year on September the 17th.
You can pre-order the game now. A standard and special edition is available with the standard simply featuring the game and a manual while the special edition also includes the game’s soundtrack on a separate disc.
Valkyria Chronicles’ upcoming PC release was recently announced but now we have the full details as to what this version of the game will include and how it’s priced.
The game is available to pre-order digitally for £14.99 which is considerably cheaper than a boxed PS3 copy. It will release on the 11th of November and pre-ordering will also get you 10% off the price.
The game will also include all the DLC that was released for the PS3 version as standard. This includes Hard EX Mode, Edy’s “Enter the Edy Detachment” mission, Selveria’s “Behind Her Blue Flame” mission and an additional six challenge missions.
Well how cool is this!? A special edition of the Wii-U version of Sonic: Lost World has surfaced called Sonic: Lost World Deadly Six Edition and it contains DLC that adds NiGHTS into Dreams boss battles!
You can see the NiGHTS characters in action in the new UK trailer below:
I think it’s brilliant that Sonic Team are still so enamoured with the NiGHTS franchise that they’re still referencing it even today. How about a new game now eh?
SEGA have dropped a lawsuit on THQ over money they were owed from Steam pre-orders of Company of Heroes 2.
There were 20,755 pre-orders for Company of Heroes 2 registered through Steam from September 2012 to 24th January 2013. This generated revenue of $1,345,301.29 with Valve taking a 30% cut of those sales. This left THQ and Relic Entertainment with 70% which amounts to around $941,000.
SEGA claims it’s owned $508,877.85 from those pre-orders as Valve paid THQ after 19th December 2012, the day it filed for bankruptcy protection.

KTX Software Dev’s Leona’s Tricky Adventures has failed to meet its’ Kickstarter goal. The indie Dreamcast title is now looking for funding via its’ own website which also offers standard versions of the game for Dreamcast and Amiga which are due for release much sooner than the special editions.
The Kickstarter campaign’s exclusives are also available in much smaller quantities via the website as well. These will release a little later than the standard versions.
If you still want to fund a cool-looking indie title for the Dreamcast then you might want to put some money down here.
