Nobuo Uematsu works on unique game, "I Won't Forgive You"
Don't know who Nobuo Uematsu is? Chances are, you've heard music by the man. Largely responsible for Final Fantasy's most memorable tunes, the revered video game composer is teaming up with AQ Interactive on a sound novel game called Anata wo Yurusanai, or I Won't Forgive You. According to 1UP, "players will hold the PSP unit vertically and use the analog nub to search, take photos, tail a suspicious person and perform surveillance."The game is scheduled for a November 15th release in Japan. A US release is unlikely.
Vampire Rain downpours July 3rd
Well, if you're a little pissy about not getting the demo in your area, at least you won't have to wait long for the retail to be released. Microsoft just sent out a release stating that Vampire Rain will be shipping July 3rd for $59.99. Not only that, but a Fan Site Kit can be downloaded at the www.vampirerain.com. So, does the idea of merging Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series interest you, or does it run a little dry?
Vampire Rain demo available in Canada & Mexico, not U.S.
The Vampire Rain demo was first released in Japan on Tuesday, and we suspected that it would become available in North America shortly thereafter. Well, we were right and today it is, but unfortunately for some (or rather, most), it's only available in two thirds of this continent. While being available in Mexico and Canada, as well as portions of Europe, Asia, and Australia, the demo is not on Marketplace in the US. Quite frankly this is quite odd, and we hope the rest of you get your hands on it sooner rather than later. We guess we can get you "exclusive" hands on impressions later today, if we aren't too busy.
Bewitching images of the Bullet Witch comic
Our man, Godfree, sent us some new images of the upcoming Bullet Witch comic. Atari seems to really be pushing this game and is now offering the comic to anyone who pre-orders Bullet Witch. What we've seen of Bullet Witch looks decent, but the comic threatens to be more interesting than the game itself. We're wondering if Atari and Prima -- the comic's publisher -- are planning to create an actual series or just leave it at one promotional comic book. Bullet Witch has an interesting concept, so hopefully they'll turn it into a full-fledged series. Hit the "read" link to see more full size images.[Via Gamertag Radio]
Bullet Witch to miss Halloween
Bullet Witch is a game that we've been marginally excited for in the past. A run-and-gun 3rd person action game, Bullet Witch, was once a Japanese game without an American publisher. That is, until Atari announced it would publish the game under the new policy of diversifying their lineup. That, however, was way back in August, and not much has been said since. Until now: EB now has Bullet Witch listed for a February 2007 release. Granted, EB and their ilk don't always have the most accurate release dates, it's nice to see Bullet Witch on the radar. Then again, once Lost Planet comes out, we may not need another 3rd person action game.[Thanks, delerious]
Ding, dong, the Bullet Witch is published
As part of an ongoing initiative to bring us games with "mass market" appeal, Atari has agreed to publish Cavia's Bullet Witch. The agreement was made with AQ Interactive, the game's Japanese publisher. Atari noted that the deal signifies the beginning of an ongoing relationship between the two companies. Nique Fajors, Atari's vice president of sales and marketing said of the deal: "We are very pleased to announce this partnership with AQ Interactive Inc. and look forward to working with them on Bullet Witch and beyond. To offer an engaging and unique title such as Bullet Witch to kick start our partnership underlines Atari's commitment to bringing interesting and different titles to gamers all over the world."Good news indeed. Now how about a release date? Oh, and, Atari, there's this other game that could use a US publisher, too. Could you handle that? Yeah, that'd be greeeeat, thanks.
Bullet Witch blows things up real good
Xboxyde has a new and very long gameplay video from AQ Interactive's Bullet Witch. I'll say one thing: inanimate objects run in fear from the Bullet Witch. At least they would if they weren't inanimate. After the less than impressive E3 video, this one shows a much better looking game with some impressive gunplay and bigger 'splosions. The video is highly reminiscent of Otogi on the original Xbox, which isn't a bad thing at all.The game will hit Japanese shelves on July 27th. Any would be importers out there?
Bewitching Bullet Witch screens
Xboxygen has a bunch of screens from AQ Interactive's twice-delayed third-person shooter, Bullet Witch, currently scheduled for Japanese release July 27 (Will retailers bother to put it on display?). I know the 360 needs all the help it can get in apathetic Japan, but how about giving gamers who actually give a witch a chance to play this game sometime soon.[Thanks Dionysos]
