Checkpoint: K-ON! PS3, Tokitowa, DC, BlazBlue

A release date has been set for the PS3 version of K-ON! After School Live!! - June 21, 2012. This will be a remastered version of the 2010 PSP rhythm game, with enhanced HD visuals, support for 3D stereoscopic output, Ad-hoc multiplayer for 1-to-5 players, and the ability to share its save data with the original PSP version.




The lovely fantasy RPG Tokitowa has revealed a few more of its heroines, thanks to Famitsu posting a pair of images - one artwork and one screenshot - for each of them. You can read a few translated words about the new heroines on Andriasang, and the new visuals have also been added to the game's local gallery. Tokitowa is planned for a PS3 release in 2012.




The first two D.C.: Da Capo eroge will receive "Blu-ray Disc game" editions this summer, according to publisher Carnival's website. The two visual novels were originally developed by Circus and released back in 2002 and 2006 respectively, and later ported to the PS2. They also received a PSP version bundling both titles in 2010, based on the edited PS2 versions, and even DVD versions playable on DVD players - which is what these "Blu-ray Disc game" editions sound like, too. Except, of course, in HD.




Will Atlus make a BlazBlue RPG? That's what was asked of Toshimichi Mori, a developer from Arc System Works (who made a fighting game based on Atlus' Persona 4 RPG). So the idea was - could this go the other way around, as well? i.e. Atlus making an RPG based on Arc System Works' BlazBlue fighting games... The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind...
