Valkyria Chronicles 3 DLC gets first episode details

by

Valkyria Chronicles 2 came out and its DLC was only extra missions. Not bad, but users missed the DLC experience they had with Valkyria Chronicles (PS3). Thankfully for you, Valkyria Chronicles 3 will bring back the ‘episode’ format.

Episode one will be called “The Restless,” which fallows Nameless leader Kurt and Imca. The episode will feature missions, cutscenes and awkward interactions between both characters. Even has a new sword to unlock. New episodes will be priced at 600 yen ($7), the first one (The Restless) coming out February 22nd.

SEGA still plans on selling missions like they did in Valkyria Chronicles 2. The first will be Disciplinary Mission: Block Their Way. This one has players stopping an army using anti-tank weapons, with a reward of a boost evasion blue ribbon if you succeed. Missions cost 200 yen ($2.40).

Valkyria Chronicles 3 debuts at #2 in Japan

by

The latest weekly sales charts (January 24th-January 30th) out of Japan paint a nice picture for Valkyria Chronicles 3, which managed a series-best debut of 102,779 copies sold, good for second place behind Nintendo’s The Last Story. This was a little better than the first week sales of Valkyria Chronicles 2, which managed around 94,000 last year.

It’ll be interesting to see what SEGA’s future plans are for the franchise, with Sony’s new PSP system lingering on the horizon.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 already did a Toro tie-in, and SEGA has something new planned for the extended version of the game. They added two more weapons, the Nyackle (pun on knuckles, nya is the sound of cats) and Mr. Television grenade.

  • Nyackle: Will be Toro and Kuro on your knuckles, when you attack they will say stuff.
  • Mr. Television grenade: Is the TV set from Toro Station, you will be able to throw it and make it rain washtubs.

Not only that, you will also be able to get a Mr. Television room decoration. Check out the photos of the items being used.

by


Oh God, SEGA stop the brown war games! Check out the cover art for the Valkyria Chronicles 3 soundtrack, so mainstream! I’m being sarcastic, it looks great.

You will be able to buy (and by buy, we mean import) your copy on February 23rd for ¥3,045. The soundtrack will span 2 discs and include 37 well-crafted tunes. Check out the product page here.

SEGA cancels Thor PSP game, no one cares

by

SEGA has just revealed that the PSP version of their upcoming Thor game,  Thor: God of Thunder, will not be released.

The PSP version of Thor was being developed in-house, but don’t fear, the development has been moved to the 3DS. But with such short notice on the change, I think this game will probably be rushed… just like SEGA’s other Marvel movie games.

Crush being ported to the 3DS? [Update]

by


Crush is one of the most underrated SEGA published games this generation. It was released on the PSP and received no hype, which is too bad. It is a great game that EVERYONE should play.

It seems that SEGA will give the franchise another chance, posted at GoNintendo, SEGA will be porting the PSP title to 3DS. I think that Crush would be prefect for the 3DS, with its touch pad and 3D visuals. Filing it as a rumor till we get a SEGA go ahead that it’s official.

We have been told by SEGA that this is indeed true, no press release or details to share right now.

Four Valkyria Chronicles 3 Trailers

by

Here are four new trailers for Valkyria Chronicles 3, each trailer highlights one of the three groups in the conflict. The East European Imperial Alliance (the bad guys), The Principality of Gallia (The good guys) and in the trailer you see above The Nameless. (The group you will be playing as in VC3)

The fourth trailer details some of the features you will get to use in the nameless barracks such as tank building and weapon modifying.

In my opinion this one looks like the best game in the series yet, far better then Valkyria Chronicles 2 at least.

Hit the Jump for the other three.

SEGA premiering Thor: God of Thunder at the VGAs

by

Every time I turn on the Video Game Awards on Spike TV, I always feel ashamed. The show is cheesy and the reveals are always over hyped. Regardless, I always miss that SEGA doesn’t do this sort of stuff, even if it is cheesy. SEGA is now jumping on the ‘first reveal’ VGA bandwagon,  they have a lot of great stuff coming out they could show… like Phantasy Star Online 2..

What will they show? Thor: God of Thunder. Oh, great. Why does SEGA of America advertise their horrible games like Iron Man and now this one, more than they do great games like Yakuza 4, Vanquish or Phantasy Star titles? Then they ask why they don’t sell.

Show will air on Saturday, December 11 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT. Put it on DVR, you will want to fast forward a lot.

Valkyria Chronicles 3: Meet two new characters

by

First we have Valerie on the left, she is known as No. 12. If you didn’t know, all Nameless Squad members are given numbers, thus the name of the squad being ‘Nameless’. She used to be a historian and was doing research about the truths of the Darcsen Calamity and tried to trespass historical ruins. Now she is in the Nameless squad.

On the right we have Felix, known as No.21. He has the over protective big brother attitude, you probably seen many anime characters like that. He has leadship abilities and a strong passion for justice. He used to be in a proper army but when he filed a complaint against a commanding officer he was shipped off to the Nameless squad.

Check out the source link for more stuff like information on special abilities and weapons.
