Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a wicked-fun game that keeps getting wickeder and fun...ner (damn it). Japan just got a free DLC pack that lets the Persona 4 characters dress as the familiar faces from the first three Persona RPGs. Check 'em out:

For the first time in franchise history, Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy XV simultaneous around the globe. "Up until now in previous Final Fantasies, we've never attempted a complete global worldwide release with them," game director Hajime Tabata told IGN. "It's always been the export model, where it comes out in Japan first and is then exported to other territories. We're not doing that this time; we want to go full global release."

It arrived just a couple days ago, and I could not be more pleased. Here's a quick on boxing video of my Yarn Yoshi amiibo.

Western gamers won't be looking at those in Japan with envy as they wait for Final Fantasy XV to be localized. Nope, Japanese gamers won't be getting preferential treatment this time around, as FFXV will be getting a simultaneous release all across the globe sometime next year.

Carl Williams writes, "Scrolling shooters are a staple of videogames. Dont believe me, just go look at the catalog of games from the first days of videogames. Asteroids was a shooter, so was Raid on Bungling Bay. Defender- yep. On the NES there were countless titles such as Gradius, Guardian Legend and more. Scrolling shooters in general are retrogaming and are going to be around in the future, that is for sure as indie and homebrew developers are picking up the slack left by the professionals. One console that was left in Japan and certainly not on the radar for most gamers in North America is the NEC PC-FX. Anyone remember this one? Anyone?"

Davis from Denkiphile: "With few Japanese titles on the PC market, Japan-centric gamers must hold onto PC releases dearly regardless of technical mishaps. As a result, weve had both a shortage of Japan developed PC titles and a massive influx of ports lately that have missed their mark. With several titles on Steam recently, Idea Factory is definitely part of this trend. With their latest title, Fairy Fencer F, which was originally published by NIS America several years ago, the company continues its onslaught on PC gamers. Worry not, though, members of the master race, this is a quality port."
