More Ultimates revealed for Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony

The best thing about Danganronpa games is the cast of characters you meet.  NIS is giving us the next round of Ultimate Students participating in the killing game! Upupupu!

K1-B0 (AKA Keebo): Ultimate Robot

85915e1a-816a-4bc4-9dc9-f3c87ec35140

Equipped with recording functions and hyper-advance AI, Keebo can learn to be a real boy! Unfortunately, it doesn’t help him pick up queues from human interaction which in turn, leads to him making comments that get him in trouble.  Keeba is earnest, proper, and is sensitive about the issue of “robophobia”; he won’t hesitate to call out robo-discrimination!

Gonta Gokuhara: Ultimate Entomologist

Raised by a pack of wolves for ten years after getting lost in a forest, Gonta learned to speak with animals and insects. After reuniting with his family, Gonta decided that he must always act like a true gentleman since he spent his childhood in the forest.  He has a hard time talking with students his own age.  Gonta is gentle by nature; he has never killed a fly!

Shuichi Saihara: Ultimate Detective

Another detective is in the midst of a game! This should definitely get interesting.  Shuichi is an apprentice detective with a variety of small jobs under his belt; mostly finding cheating couples. However, he did solve a murder before the police did and so he was named, “Ultimate Detective”.  Although, Shuichi doesn’t believe in his ability.  “Shuichi’s insecurities tend to make him rather timid, but he is quick to act in situations where his keen intuition is needed.”

Tsumigi Shirogame: Ultimate Cosplayer

A true Cosplayer, through and through, Tsumigi loves making costumes but hates seeing her costumes on people who don’t truly appreciate the art.  Tsumigi is reserved, studious, and kind until Cosplay and Fandom are mentioned; she then becomes outspoken and passionate!   “She has a tendency to completely ignore those around her when she’s especially deep in thought. She also has a habit of referencing anime, video games, and manga over the course of a normal conversation. “

Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy: Game Concept, Battle System, and Strengthening!

I’m sure you have heard a little bit about NIS America’s upcoming title Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy, but didn’t really understand much about the game play.  Lucky for us! NIS is revealing the Game Concept, Battle System, and Strengthening!

Game Concept

A normal student at Hinowa Academy, you are selected to join the Xth Squat for the special forces.  Rampaging Variants are attacking Tokyo, and of course, you have to stop them!

Battle Systems

Unity Skills
Unity Skills are special skills that can be unleashed when all team members cooperate. There are three types of Unity Skills: BRAVE, MAGIC, and ACADEMY. Time your Unity Skills correctly to maximize their impact!
XTND Skills/Spells
A brand-new feature added on Operation Babel, which further empowers skills and spells by allowing players to equip them with special items. Regardless of a team member’s Blood Code, the equipped item can use these abilities given by these special items.
The Rise & Drop System
Just like in Operation Abyss, the more battles you survive, the more dangerous the labyrinth becomes. With the Rise & Drop system, players have a good understanding that incoming danger also means potential rewards
Strengthening
Heal, cure, and level up.  Same with most RPG games.  Heal your team, and gain EXP which can earn you awesome things! In the game you can level up your Blood Codes and unlock new spells.
Create stronger items by combing all the junk material dropped in battle.  Items become “Codes” which you can use to create stronger weapons, or buff up your favorite weapon.

Silver Case for PS4 has some new chapters

Two brand new chapters are coming to SUDA51’s classic game, Silver Case.

Whiteout Prologue:

Whiteout Prologue is a short-but-sweet prologue that occurs years after the events in The Silver Case, and links the story and builds up the lore to SUDA51’s episodic sequel, The Silver Case: Ward 25.

Yami:

a slightly larger scenario that takes place months after the last chapter of the game, serving as a conclusion of the initial game. This occurs during the Placebo section, where you see the murder mystery investigation from the viewpoint of freelance journalist, Tokio Morishima.

Are you a fan of visual novels? Will you be adding Silver Case to your collection?
