Right as I publish this, The Drop goes up and announces Stranded: A Mars Adventure and Slain: Back from Hell are both out next week.

Lots of localizations this week. First up is Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers, the localized title of Dynasty Warriors Eiketsuden, releasing on the 31st of Janurary next year for North America and the first of Feburary for Europe. The game will be a digital only title on Vita as well as PS4.

Second is A Rose in the Twilight, the spiritual successor to The Firefly Diary. The game has no solid date outside of Spring 2017. NIS America is selling a physical limited edition with soundtrack, art book and stress ball.

Third is Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku, also from NIS America. The game also has no solid date outside of spring 2017. The Vita version will be digital only, and unfortunately NISA isn't making a physical special edition for this one.

Fourth is Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy, the sequel to Operation Abyss. This one is also coming spring 2017. There will be both physical copies and a special edition as well, with poster, soundtrack, artbook and file folder.

Spike Chunsoft have announced a remake of their classic 'sound novel' Kamaitachi no Yoru, aka Banshee's Last Cry, for the Vita to be launched on the 16th of Feburary next year in Japan. Notably, extra scenarios will be contributed by the writer of Higurashi When They Cry, Ryukishi07. No localization info is available just yet, but Aksys Games did handle the iPhone port of the original a couple of years ago.

SPL have announced they're porting Beatshapers-developed #KILLALLZOMBIES to Vita for release sometime later this month. The game promises two modes, twelve weapons, 100 perks and a constantly changing battlefield.

Sony Japan have announced a Vita Minecraft bundle for their market to release on the 6th of December. The bundle comes with a special themed Vita, the Vita version of Minecraft with a bunch of DLC included, a Vita theme and the box. It'll retail for 27,700 yen.

Dates! Battalion Commander and The Keeper of 4 Elements, supposed to be released a little while back, have now joined #KILLALLZOMBIES in a 'late November' release window. Volgarr the Viking released by surprise this week in North America, $9.99 with PS4 crossbuy. Wanted Corp released this week too in both North America and Europe, $11.99 normally but it has a PS+ discount.

And finally this week, the developers of GameMaker Studio have announced the newest version of the software, Studio 2, won't support the Vita export module that the current version does, citing mainly business reasons for not creating it. That's it for this week.

Man, I'm really down about that GameMaker announcement, it's what I use to make my games. I wonder if enough people poked someone like Gio Corsi on Twitter, he could get them to reconsider. Anyway, videos. I'll try to have a video on Wanted Corp ready in the next couple of days. I also have a backlog of stuff I'm going through for An Idiot Imports, so if I have nothing to put up by then you can expect one or two of those. Like, subscribe, comment and share the video around if you liked it. See you next week.
