Konami launches Cloud gaming for arcades

It's announced that Konami's Cloud gaming service for arcade games has begun since yesterday in Japan.

The service, called e-AMUSEMENT CLOUD, lets you play selected arcade games from home using PC, including playing against players in the game centers from around the country via Internet. Whether you play in the game centers or at home, the data will be saved in the Cloud.

Two games, a mahjong game and a Japanese chess game, are supported at launch.

First gameplay of 4 new characters in DBFC

Four new characters were announced for Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, and there was already a location test. But this's the first gameplay video of them.

The video was from last night's Denjin Geccha where the game producer from Sega (red shirt) and planner from French Bread (eyeglasses) came to promote the game.

These characters will be added via an update in June.

[Video] P4U2's new character Ken Amada & Koromaru

New character Ken Amada and Koromaru (counted as one character) from Persona 3 was announced for P4U2, and Atlus has posted an intro video yesterday. Additionally, a video introducing Golden Arena Mode is also posted. The mode will let players fight and grind for EXP (and level up) to strengthen the character's parameters or unlock new skills (max 4, old ones can be discarded). Approximate 150 skills will be available. Some rare or exclusive skills can also be obtained by defeating a boss character or increasing rank of Social Links.

Persona 4 Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold (also officially called P4U2) will be released on August 28 for PlayStation 3.

Niitsuma's tweet hints about new fighting game?

From Ryota Niitsuma's latest tweet.

Some people in my company said "If you're talking about working with licensed stuff, it's this guy*." Come to think about it, so I'm the only one who worked with Shogakukan**, Shueisha***, Tatsunoko Pro, Marvel? (laugh)

Is this a hint of something? Well, we'll just say new Fate/Stay Night fighting game with Marvel engine. This wild guess comes from the fact that Capcom made Fate/Unlimited Codes (and Tiger Colosseum) and new Fate/Stay Night anime (remake) is coming this Fall. And it makes sense.
