New outfits for the Phantom Thieves If you’re knee deep inPersona 5but feel like you haven’t accomplished much yet, I feel you. It’s a long ass video game, made even longer when you’re compelled to re-run dungeons to level up and wander around Tokyo aimlessly trying to court someone. But if you want to take a little break from the grind, you can do that by smiling and laughing at the swimsuit outfits for each of the Phantom Thief crew members, which is out now by way of free DLC....

Retro-Bit has announced that the next in their line of retro reproductions/reissues/special editions is 1995’sMajyūō(sometimes translated as Majuu Ou). Previously only released in Japan on the Super Famicom, Retro-Bit will be localizing the game for the first time in an official capacity. It’s being localized asMajyūō – King of Demons, which feels pretty appropriate. This is perhaps Retro-Bit’s raddest deep cut yet. You play as Abel, who is trying to save his daughter from demons....

Now we know his true purpose....

Chris Remo over at Shacknews brings uswordof an impending slice of drama that has made me giggle like a school girl with a vibrator for the last couple minutes.

yawn I’ll level with you — there’s nothing going on today. Granted, it’s Saturday, and the industry news bear generally hibernates. For whatever reason, though, today is exceptionally slow. Truth be told,this guide(found over at wikiHow) on how to make a PlayStation 2 memory card holder out of LEGOs probably wouldn’t have made it to the front page otherwise. Because let’s be reasonable here — the PlayStation 2 itself does a pretty good job of holding your damned memory cards....

New episodes on Saturdays More Ace Attorney is never a bad thing, especially since we see so little of it in the west in terms of physical game releases. Thankfully Capcom has gotten wise over the years though and has made some of it more accessible, including the anime series that is now officially available outside of Japan. It’s streaming on the Crunchyroll service, and the inaugural episode is live now....
