Do you miss the days where there is always a weird looking creature in your JRPG party instead of just all regular humans, chosen people or l'Ciels(whatever the hell that means)? Here is the new playable character Pinpin, the bear, cat, looking thingy with a sword on his head, voiced by Shimoda Asami, the voice provider of Kagamine Len/Rin.
The weapons characters used are not generic weapons that can be bought from stores, so you can't change it. However, you can upgrade it with Weapon Points, or WPs.
Basically, instead of buying weapons, you will upgrading them.

The producer of the anime confirmed that there will be an Attack on Titan game coming to consoles in 2014 (by consoles it can means handheld too though), and it's not the previously announced visual novel by Nitro+. What's more is that he said that in Anime Expo, so does that mean it's coming to the west?

You think taking 10 episodes for Goku transforming into super saiyan is long? This girl waited 10 years just to be the main character, and we don't even know is it a game or not. Heck, I won't be surprised if she is not even the main character.

Also, ACIV is getting a manga. AC is really getting some nice treatment in Japan, and yet they still refuse to make Japanese AC game.
Remember Level-5's character poll? Well the wallpaper with the winners on it is out. You can download it in here:
