Publisher XSEED Games has announced the localization of several anticipated titles for this year on multiple platforms. The games coming our way are Senran Kagura Reflexions, Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal, and Fate/Extella Link. In addition,...

Ever since XSEED released Ys SEVEN on PC, my gut feeling was telling me that Ys: Memories of Celceta would appear on it one day. As the company unleashed its mystery stream, we can now rejoice about 2018 being the year where people get...

You know you're in for a better year when you go through two Falcom-themed months. Zwei: The Arges Adventure came out on Wednesday, and XSEED's PC port of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is unleashing its glorious S-Craft on a...

Well, people. It turns out that NIS America's PC port of Ys VIII isn't the only Nihon Falcom title launching in January since XSEED plans to release Zwei: The Arges Adventure on the 24th.  As we get to see more of the action ...

Most people are familiar with modder Durante for his work on the PC ports of Dark Souls and Deadly Premonition. The man took rather lazy ports and turned them into the definitive versions of their respective games with a little love and car...

XSEED's mystery announcement may not have been related to The Legend of Heroes: Trails series, but that wasn't stopping me from considering the possibilities of an older Falcom title crossing the pond. Lo and behold, my intuition was correc...

In case you're up for catching yet another planned stream from a publisher that may or may not actually deliver, XSEED is hosting a "mystery stream" on Thursday with an "announcement incoming." The stream will be held at XSEED's Twitch chan...

XSEED Games, publishers of Summertime fan-service shooter Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, have released a trailer showcasing a guest character who has joined the mammoth cast of bikini battlers, and it's none other than Nitroplus mascot ...

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash may not be the best game in the Senran Kagura series, but it is one of the better spin-off titles. And like the rest of the series, its guest character DLC is now available for purchase.  Honoka, Ayan...

From the very moment I began at the title screen, this game would echo questions through my mind. I'd question the mental construct of "life or hometown"? The dilemma of who is “best girl” and if love can truly bloom on the wet-...

As we enter a new season, I'm still rejoicing over the West getting blessed with five Falcom titles. During this great period, I was waiting for XSEED to spill the beans about Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection's release date. Lo and b...

Gaming's official belly dancer, Shantae, has made quite the name for herself over the last decade. Beginning as a late era Game Boy Color title, the series has spawned several sequels on various platforms and garnered a cult following. The ...

During 2015, I managed to start my relationship with the English Ys PC games. From there, I fell in love with Falcom's other works. With XSEED bringing Ys Seven to Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store, it felt like I would witness another ...

Is it just me, or is XSEED on a roll with their Falcom PC games? From the looks of it, I answered my own question since Ys Seven hits Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store on August 30. While I missed out on the original PSP game, I messed ...

To this day, I'm impressed with the way how XSEED treats Falcom's titles. One good example is the effort they put into The Legend of Heroes Trails series since they continue to improve it, such as the Trails in the Sky games getti...

Nihon Falcom's beloved PS3 and PS Vita RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel made its way to Steam and GOG today. It's going to be $40 normally, but for launch week, it's down to $36. The early sales are encouraging (it's charting ...

Earlier this year, I watched through the three currently available versions of the Fate/Stay Night series. It was pretty interesting throughout, and kept my attention (Rin is best girl), but each "season" was littered with issues. A stylish...

I don't know about you, but summer has been a great season for Nihon Falcom's titles. XSEED's PC port of Ys Seven is on the horizon, and Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection is making its debut in the West. Now we can complete this glori...

Back when XSEED Games announced Trails of Cold Steel I and II for PC, I was hoping for them to could give Falcom's other Sony console-exclusive titles the same treatment. At the end of their Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection stre...

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, the upcoming summer-themed shooter Senran Kagura spinoff, will be jiggling onto PS4s this summer.

My honeymoon period for reviewing games just ended. After two short games, one great and the other average, I now know the horror of slogging through a soulless role-playing game. While constantly longing to play other games like Breath of ...

Localization is the process of adapting incidental details of a work to better fit the region it is being exported to. Sometimes it is done inelegantly, like when Pokemon's Brock holds a handful of onigiri (rice balls wrapped with dried sea...

Here I was starting to think people take game roles more seriously when this new Akiba's Beat story trailer came along and slapped me in the face. Its predecessor, Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed, also had a pathetic English dub, but si...

When I search for headers, I Google the name in Japanese to get unique screens (but that's my secret; don't tell anyone else). What came up for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold 2 was a lot of romancin'. Like those heroines, the PC ...

Update: XSEED and Marvelous Europe have confirmed to me that the Australian version will indeed launch in the same time-frame as the European summer release. I was just being silly after all. Summer is the season for beaches, peaches, ...
