At long last, Yomawari 3 has released in Japan! (Technically yesterday if you're on the western end of the globe.) Congratulations to the developers! Fingers crossed for a smooth launch, and hopefully news of an English release soon. Here's the final few countdown images, as well as a few additional posts from the devs. As always: Yomawari is a horror series, so please click said links with care.

The official NIS blog posted a Play Report, teasing the beginning of the game.
The official site posted an interview with the game's director, Yu Mizokami.

Promotional art for a mobile minigame made for the upcoming Yomawari 3. It depicts the protagonist with an expression of fear as she shines a flashlight on a faceless monster with many tentacles.

In promotion of the upcoming Yomawari 3 release in Japan, NIS has collaborated with death_co_jp to create a mobile minigame: Search for Mugi who has disappeared into the streets at night! Playable on both Android and iPhone, this minigame also features sound.

You're given two minutes with which to find Mugi, the protagonist's little white cat. You can scroll along your phone's screen to navigate the map, and once you find Mugi you simply need to tap on them to win. The option at the bottom of the screen lets you cover your eyes to hide from the spirits and monsters wandering the streets, as gazing upon them will shorten the time available to you. Lingering too long or being caught means death.

Depending on your time when you find Mugi, you'll get different art at the end. Those who find Mugi within 15 seconds will be placed in a lottery for a chance to win artwork. (Japan residents only.)

The next stream of Leisurely Nippon Ichi episode 71 is announced to air on 4/14. Similar to the previous episode, this one is set to be a special for Yomawari 3, just before its release in Japan. [Info (JP) | YouTube | NicoVideo]

And that's the round up for this week, running a little late! Anything catch your eye? This will be the first time the west has gotten La Pucelle: Ragnarok, as previously it was a Japan-only re-release for the PSP. Rhapsody has gotten re-released in the west before, but... perhaps we should politely look the other way on that one and hope this time will be better.

http://gematsu.com/2015/05/witch-hundred-knight-2-likely-different-story

No real information yet, but it is in development and chances are that Revival is an attempt to test the waters with PS4 for the development of the sequel. All that's known is that it will at least not directly follow Metallia like the first game did. Considering that her story wraps up rather decisively, though, it makes sense.

Also, some new info.
* The game will be running 1080p/60fps. Some screenshot show improved lighting and textures. While I've never been one to criticize graphics, the original game wasn't exactly the prettiest game, particularly when came to the animation of human characters so this is a step in the right direction.
* Metallia mode is not a separate storyline but a new ability given to the Hundred Knight. No exact conditions have been given yet, but meeting the right conditions allows Metallia to teleport in and allow you to cause havoc with a giant AoE spells and a giant sword.
* The game gives you extra sets for your weapon combos which you can switch between on the fly.
* Aside from LE goodies (including a cool looking box), the LE version gets you the giant Metallia sword as DLC.

For those who don't want to go through every individual video, here are all the story character and DLC character exhibitions collected in two videos. The DLC video also includes the Etna's unison attack with Laharl and Flonne's Love Extreme, which were missing from the previous exhibition post. Finally, there's a third video that has the final boss' attack. Naturally, be aware of spoilers for that one.

For a few days, a teaser site was released which was quickly revealed to be an updated port of The Witch and the Hundred Knight. Now according to siliconera, it is confirmed to be coming to the PS4 with enhanced graphics (the official site shows models for Hundred Knight and Metallia, which definitely seem to look and animate better than in the original game) and will have a new mode that will allow you to play as a certain witch.

Whether this is final or not is unknown but yeah, this time the Disgaea trio has been demoted to downloadable. Wonder what this will mean for Disgaea 5's post game? Still, I'm pretty sure those who've been begging for Almaz and Sapphire for quite awhile are now rejoicing. (Still, why is Alex missing from the Makai Kingdom pack?)

A new video showing off 27 minutes of Disgaea 5 gameplay has gone up. It shows us some of the characters specials such as Seraphina, and Usalias specials. It also shows off some of character creation and the new way to boost skills where instead of a percentage it improves the base power allowing you to take a skill from E>A. We also get to see some skits in the game and get a good look at the base.
