Ryouiki Zero and MBA Complete Form

So as of the 27th of October (yeah, last week) Fly Systems has transferred development works for Magical Battle Arena to a new circle called Ryouiki Zero. Whether this new circle is a direct subsidiary to Fly-Systems, a totally different group, or Fly-Systems themselves disguised under another name is not known. It sure does seem to have close affiliations to Souwer Cherry and Pandadanpa though; both are close partners with Fly-Systems. In that light, guess says Ryouiki Zero at the very least aren’t strangers to Fly-Systems.

Along with the transfer, news for the next major release of Magical Battle Arena were also spilled, named Magical Battle Arena Complete Form. This one sounds more like a bundled release of Magical Battle Arena with Lyrical Pack along with all the patches and the 5 extra download characters included rather than being a major expansion release, but alas it wasn’t without any updates at all. It is revealed that Complete Form will include one new character; StrikerS Fate. Aside from that, it also includes several new moves for the returning characters and uses a new network system for its multiplayer mode. No further words about whether the character list is finalized or would there be more new characters to expect other then the non-loli Fate.

Here are some images of the grown Fate T. Harlaown in MBA Complete Form.

Magical Battle Arena Complete Form is scheduled for this coming Winter Comiket in December.

A Lyrical Pack

This is just awesome...

Yes, expansion pack! Yes, more characters! I’ve always been dreaming about seeing Hayate’s intercontinental spells of mass destruction in this game lol. This will be soo much fun…

Here’s the official demo:

29th December is the date.

EDIT: go here for the download.

License renewal and game completion

Woke up early today to get my driver’s license renewed today. It got expired 2 months ago actually, I forgot about it since I rarely drive lol. Now I got a C level (Competent) drivers license~ farewell to my trial period P license~ /o/

Had to get ready earlier and have my picture taken for the new license since I don’t have any pictures of myself, or I don’t know where they went, haha. Had the photograph shop person did a Polaroid for me since I don’t want to be waiting a whole day for a piece of photo.

That rest of the day was mostly assignments, animes and Magical Battle Arena. Finally completed the entire game that night when I unlocked the third and last unlockable character. It seems that all three of the unlockable characters are potentially cheap in the wrong hands >__> Scratch that, everyone in there are potentially cheap in the wrong hands… -.-;

Magical Battle Arena

A friend came over today and to his pestering, I finally installed Magical Battle Arena. It was great, exactly what I feared… I need to be doing my work!!! orz

Anyway, it was good, albeit quite hard at the beginning, but I eventually got the hang of it. My friend had a harder time with it though since he had to play on the keyboard while I used the game pad during 2P.

For those who don’t know, Magical Battle Arena is a shooting beat’em up of sorts that somewhat resembles Dragonball Z Budokai. Main attraction to this game for me is that it’s a 3D beat’em up with Nanoha and Fate!!! I’ve always been craving to cast some Starlight Breaker and do all those crazy stuff in the Nanoha series. But that’s not all to it, there are lots of other characters from other series and games as well like Cardcaptor Sakura, Slayers, Mahoujin Guru Guru and Hoshizora no Dioskroi.

True enough to the list of characters available, the game is very… err… large scale. With explosions engulfing more than half if not the entire battlefield (which also are very huge) every so often and there are tremors everytime someone do some beam of doomxorz. It’s like a Godzilla war lol

Me as Nanoha getting nuked by Lina

Well, it’s great fun but the story mode gets quite difficult at times, like when you have to face 5 or 6 opponents alone, sometimes even with enemy reinforcements but only 6 enemies can be on the field at once.

Comiket 74

It’s Comiket 74 from today till 2 days later~ moar things will be out nao. Among the things I am looking forward the most for this time are Touhou Chireiden, Magical Battle Arena, Tokkyu Tenshi, Touhou Hisouten OST, those new stuff by Lolita Neurosis, by Silver Forest, and also by IOSYS. lol, seems like Soul Saber 2 was renamed to Madoka.C.E after all. I don’t have any reviews for any of them since I don’t have them at hand yet.

We did some revision in my Japanese class today since we will be having our term exam next week. Doesn’t seem like it would be too much trouble… I hope it won’t. Just another Saturday I guess… watched some stuff, played some stuff. Day ended :|

Oh, some extra news:

These aren’t really the latest news in the world but I’ll just mention them anyway. Parasite Eve 3 and Final Fantasy XIII Agito will be out for the PSP in the future. In a way, this is quite a good thing as the original plan for Agito was for the Japanese cellphones, which will guarantee it never getting into the English market so with it now on the PSP, there is a good chance. More like, it definitely will now lol.

Hmm… ok, time for bed, nites.
