Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R Heading To Vita

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Did you realize Arc System Works had another fighting franchise? Many new players were probably introduced to them through Blazblue and its various sequels but their last generation darling, Guilty Gear, is about to make a resurgence in a huge way. Announced at the Tokyo Gameshow was a port of the upcoming Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R for the PlayStation Vita.

As Joystiq points out, Accent Core Plus R, shouldn’t be confused with the HD port of the original Accent Core Plus, which is scheduled to hit XBLA/PSN in Japan sometime next month. This next Arcade iteration is powered by SEGA’s new  RingEdge 2 board. The original Accent Core was released to home console in 2007 for both PS2 and Wii.

Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus R will be released next year in Japan. No word on a North American release just yet.

Metal Gear Social Sneaks Card Battles Onto Your Phone

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Metal Gear is no stranger to add genre mash-ups. Whether it’s Solid Snake appearing in Super Smash Bros Brawl or Hideo Kojima’s digital card game MGS ACID, Snake isn’t confined to one particular gameplay style.

This is certainly true of Konami’s latest Metal Gear title, Metal Gear Social, which the company describes as a mobile game sneaking game with a card collecting element. The gameplay in Social is divided into two distinct sections: The first has the player controlling Snake as he sneaks from one side of the map to another, similar to sections in Peace Walker. The other has Snake battling bosses in a more open environment using collectable cards, which he collects by performing steal maneuvers in the first section.

No word on whether or not the game will involve microtransactions for these in-game cards or whether the game will be purchased for $0.99/$2.99 or a similar price. As with anything this niche, no word yet on a North American release.

3DS Circle Pad Goes XL

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Jason Bassett

In a move that’s not surprising in the least, Nintendo looks as though they have announced a brand new Circle Pad Pro for the Nintendo 3DS XL. Information is scarce, there is no release date or price (sound familiar?), but there is a mock up of how the add-on will look like.

Nintendo introduced the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro back in 2011 and was released in February in 2012 Stateside. The new model seems not much removed from it’s predecessor, which in my mind, is a good thing. Take a look at the screen below.
