Groove Heaven
Hey, this is out today! I thought it looked interesting when it was released in Japan as Peakvox Lilirhythm, and I speculated that Teyon could potentially publish it here. That’s the kind of spot-on industry analysis you can expect from Tiny Cartridge.
I still have no idea if this is any good, but I love experimental rhythm games, and for $4 I don’t mind taking the risk!

Just 17 more days, guys. I’m hoping I’ll have my town in order for you to visit by then.

New SMT IV trailer teaches the Samurai Way
Shin Megami Tensei IV’s samurai don’t seem too traditional, based on their “way” shown here. I don’t recall any Kurosawa films in which the samurai vanquished demons, recruited navigational AIs, or downloaded demon fusion apps.
Nice English voice acting, though!

Animal Crossing’s Rover on edge
This is the just the first part from Dan Zazzera’s three-page “Restless Rover” comic, which takes you through the anxieties and internal chastisement the cat suffers whenever he meets a new Animal Crossing player.
The comic is featured in the recently published and shipped Animal Crosszine. You can buy a digital copy right now, and physical editions will probably be available for sale again next week.

eShop sale for The Denpa Men
This week’s list of 3DS downloadable releases in the U.S. is weak, but there’s a decent sale for Genius Sonority’s whimsical RPG The Denpa Men that cuts its price from $9.99 to $7.99. Now’s a great time to pick it up if you haven’t yet, as its sequel releases in a week and you can carry over your hero’s data.
Meanwhile Wii U’s Virtual Console is holding a buy 2 Kirby games get 1 free sale, and Europe’s 3DS eShop gets a demo for Project X Zone.

Are you ready for this? A Game Center CX-themed Animal Crossing: New Leaf room
I can hardly type this post, that’s how much my hands are trembling right now… It’s so beautiful… The jacket, the dry erase board, and even the area for filming episodes… My mouth wants to scream with endless joy, but the only thing coming out are ellipses…
There’s more info on how you can visit this virtual room once you have a copy of the game over at Sweetiebel.
Speaking of the show, the Last Continue GCCX team recently put out another fan-translated Game Center CX episode — it’s the Super Metroid finale! The group is also looking for some help, so you should volunteer if you have the skillset and are a decent person.

This custom Twin Famicom looks sharp
I’ll typically take matte surfaces over gloss for my consoles all day errday, but this commissioned paintjob by Zoki64 is foine.
Type of system that turns heads as it walks by, a glance and a smile thrown over her shoulder when she catches you gawking. Type of system you bring over to show off to your friends, only to have them talk behind your back about how she’s way out of your league and comment, “I’m not even sure what she’s doing with him/her.”
Type of system next-gen consoles hide their men/women from, knowing she could steal away their partners with minimal effort, on some ol’ Jolene shit. Like, damn, custom Twin Famicom, don’t do’em like that. Don’t break Xbone’s heart after all it’s gone through to find happiness, just because you can.

Anamanaguchi’s new album streaming on Youtube
I stream like 80% of the music I listen to at my desk on Youtube, so it’s awesome that Anamanaguchi just threw Endless Fantasy on there for anyone to listen to for free!
If you prefer reading about chiptune stuff over listening to the music — or maybe you’re into reading about chiptune junk while listening to it — there are two articles I haven’t read but will link anyway: The Charms of Chiptune (New Yorker) and Anamanaguchi - The Ninja Turtles of Rock (Polygon).

Altered Beast welcomed to its doom the 3DS
Hey, it’s another classic from Sega enhanced and thrown onto the eShop — Altered Beast! The game will add a lot of the features we saw in 3D Sonic the Hedgehog, like a CRT emulation mode, button remapping, options to play JP/Western versions, depth and zoom 3D options, etc.
Sega will put out 3D Altered Beast next week to Japan. There’s no word about a Western release, but the publisher has announced that it’s bringing 3D Space Harrier to Europe, so maybe the rest of the series is on the way too.
Thanks to Super Walter and Brother Brain for the GIFs from the 16-bit edition!

Spelunker on Wii U VC
Here’s the big news everyone’s going to be talking about on Twitter today: the NES version of Spelunker is being released on Wii U Virtual Console. Not Spelunker HD, as released on the PlayStation Network, but Spelunker One.
This is truly the next generation of ways to play crazy hard platformers from 1985. And unlike some other world-changing video game news announcements, we have a firm release date and price point: May 30 for $4.99. You can also yell at it. Not to change your TV inputs or anything, but just out of rage.

Freedom Wars for PS Vita
After teasing this as “Panopticon” for the past two weeks, Sony has revealed this original property as Freedom Wars, a 2014 game that looks pretty interesting despite its boring title.
Dubbed a “recovery multiplayer action” game, Freedom Wars looks like more than just another urban/dystopian Monster Hunter clone based on this NeoGAF-translated press release:
“The player is a criminal in a post-apocalyptic near future, sentenced to a million years of hard labor, fighting for his freedom. By completing missions where you rescue civilians and allies who have been captured by huge enemies known as Abductors, you can reduce your sentence. The game supports a maximum of 8 players at a time in both co-op and competitive modes, and supports Adhoc and Wi-Fi Online functions so players all over the country can play together. The game will also support the GPS and Near capabilities of the PS Vita to enhance the gameplay experience.”
