There’s a bug (apparently!) in PS Vita exclusive Moero Crystal that is rendering characters without their underpants.

In the dark future of Omega Quintet the world is being overwhelmed by an evil force and the last vestiges of humanity—some 20,000 souls—huddle together for survival. Time for an idol group dance number!

Hey, JRPG fans! Compile Heart just announced Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force. This PS4 exclusive is another collaboration between artist Yoshitaka Amano of Final Fantasy fame, composer Nobuo Uematsu also of Final Fantasy fame, and writer Toshiki Inoue, who has written a bunch of TV anime and tokusatsu shows. No word…

Update 5/28/2014: Monster Monpiece is finally out in North America (Europe gets it next week), and the sentiment in this Japanese preview still holds: It's a great game, but damn that embarrassing girl-stroking mechanic.

Galapagos RPG, a new "niche" Japanese game brand, teased its first project.

Screw the West! This new role-playing brand certainly does not explicitly say that, but you have to admire a tagline that says it's aiming at a specific type of player in Japan. A niche within niche!

It's called Monster Monpiece, and it's a card-based game. That's fine and all until you realize that it's from Compile Heart, the folks behind Hyperdimension Neptunia. Oh, and that you have to stroke your PS Vita to play it.

Last year Aksys Games gave many Western gamers their first encounter with character pillow covers and breast mouse pads with Record of Agarest War. Unfortunately the game packed with these goodies wasn't particularly good. Second time's the charm, right?

On July 29, PS3 title Hyperdimension Neptunia was released in Japan. Late last week, Record of Agarest War 2 hit Japan. Hey, wait a sec... There's something familiar, and it's not just the game covers.

Some cosplayers make their own costumes. Some buy them. The price range for costumes can go from affordable to totally not.

A video game about the game industry? That could be pretty boring. Inside baseball. Zzzzzz. It would need something to sexy it up!

The North American trailer for Compile Heart's breeding RPG Record of Agarest War knows its audience, and with blurred nudity and a borderline money shot, grabs them by the...well it isn't the throat.

Aksys Games has launched a placeholder website for Record of Agarest War, the "soul breeding" Japanese strategy RPG that is completely distracting me with its teaser image. What were we talking about again?
