Platinum Games will give fans a Bayonetta 3 update during the year

My Nintendo News

Famed Platinum Games video game designer Hideki Kamiya recently participated in a Hamster Games Arcade Archives stream. Mr. Kamiya was asked about his busy schedule and the projects that he’s been working on including Bayonetta 3. He told Hamster boss Satoshi Hamada that he hopes he can give an update on the highly-anticipated game at some point during the year.

Hamada:I believe that you’re very busy with new projects?

Kamiya:Well, I suppose… we’ve been working on new stuff like Bayonetta 3, not that I can say too much… but I hope we can give an update during the year.

Hamada:I see.

Kamiya:– and give updates on a few more unannounced projects too. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say that, but I said it anyway.

FMA visual novels in English

Note: For other FMA visual novels translated to English, go here:

Phantomphobia – Outsider

Phantomphobia – Truth

Bluebird’s Illusion is a fan-made visual novel released in 2004 by a Chinese group of fans called Neoland OceanX.

The game is set in the universe of Fullmetal Alchemist and mixes elements from the anime and manga, although the events presented are a kind of “alternate story”, in which Edward has managed to restore his brother’s body and is working for the military as a colonel.

Although there were projects to translate this game before, there was no complete English translation up to this point. This is my personal effort to put a remedy to this.

An Open Letter to Defenders of John Kricfalusi

InYourFaceNewYorker's Blog

The following is an open letter to defenders of John Kricfalusi as well as those who’ve minimized his actions, particularly Ron Cicero, Kimo Easterwood (directors of the documentary Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren and Stimpy Story), and Kricfalusi’s old friend Chris Gore, who made some appalling remarks on the Film Threat podcast:

To those who’ve heard about, read about, or otherwise know about the recent revelations about John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren and Stimpy, having had a “relationship” with former childhood fan, Robyn Byrd, starting when she was 14: If you call what happened “consensual” and “not as bad as Harvey Weinstein, because she lived with John K., because therefore least it wasn’t rape,” then you don’t know dick about what’s going on. You also don’t know dick about the concepts of consent, abuse, and underage grooming.

I can’t speak to whether it was Robyn or one…
