Review by Matt S. In the grand scheme of things, the complete re-development of the original Senran Kagura Burst is about as pointless as a game development project gets. The original Senran Kagura Burst, on the Nintendo 3DS, was a side-scrolling brawler that was equal parts pure controversy (because games…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Newly released in English via Asian PlayStation Network stores (grab it on the Hong Kong store if you’re keen), Bullet Girls Phantasia is a new release that is legitimately mind-boggling in how spectacularly pervy it is. And yes, it’s also quite enjoyable, in that same B-grade…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Fate/Extella Link released in Japan today, and with it came some costume DLC. Costume DLC that makes the main game all the more worthwhile. We are, of course, talking about swimsuits. Related reading: Our review of the original Fate/Extella on the Nintendo Switch. The swimsuit DLC…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. NISA has released a trailer revealing two new characters to join the SNK Heroines roster… and revealing is the word for them. The game just keeps doubling down on that fanservice. The two new characters are Sylvie and Zarina. Sylvie is token “cute” and wears what…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dark Rose Valkyrie was meant to be a relatively serious take on Compile Heart’s usual modus operandi. The house that built Hyperdimension Neptunia, Omega Quintet and Fairy Fencer has always been polarising, and that’s for a simple reason; this studio loves showing off the panties of…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. I’ll admit that I had put Fire Emblem Heroes down over the last few months. I love the game (really love it), but I’ve just not had the time to dedicate to it. So naturally Intelligent Systems comes up with the perfect way of forcing me…
Read MoreList by Matt S. You may have noticed that we reviewed quite a few fighting games this week. A new Guilty Gear, Street Fighter and Injustice game, to be precise. In addition to that, on the Nintendo Switch there was an old King of Fighters game released as a Neo…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you search on DDNet for a review of Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni-, you won’t find one. The PlayStation Vita game was refused classification down here in Australia by our delightful censorship board, so none of us got to play it. Related reading: Here’s Matt’s reaction to…
