Last week we revealed that Winning Post 9 was the game teased by KOEI Tecmo Japan. Coming from the mind of Kou Shibusawa Productions, the highly anticipated (in Japan at least) racing series returns in full form. Since the announcement more information has come out about the title along with a teaser trailer showing some ingame footage.

You can check out some highlights pointed out below:

–Racing scenes have dramatically evolved.
–The bonding element between jockey and horse has turned into commands.
–“World Suitability” is a new element that displays breed suitability in Japan, America, and Europe.
–In Rival Showdowns where enemies are also backed by strategies, the racehorses’ fighting spirits will fluctuate depending on the outcome.
–“Rival Showdowns” are showdowns such as Mejiro McQueen vs. Tokai Teio that show the scenes and rival trends of the battle, and include new elements like fighting spirit.
–Rivals are not limited to horses. Unique characters will also appear.
–Horse owners, animal trainers, and jockeys will all appear as part of the rival camp. Use bond commands to secure your victory.

The official website has also been updated with news issues adding further details on what the game will offer and how it will play. For those non Japanese reading folk, Google Translate does a decent job in having you covered. You can find the four (as of time of writing) issues here!

The game though unlikely to make it’s way to the West, will be releasing March 2019 for PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. The former two you’ll be able to import the game for due to region free, while Steam naturally being a digital storefront will be easy to access from. It is unknown if any form of English support will be featured however.

Here is the teaser trailer as well:

Nintendo Switch Online Service to add Ninja Gaiden and 2 other NES games this December!

It’s that time of month again where Nintendo releases 3 more NES games to their Nintendo Switch Online Service. This being the last of the currently announced titles to come (though they said much more to come in 2019), we will be enjoy our third game from KOEI Tecmo on the service.

Ninja Gaiden (NES) will be releasing on December 12th along with two other titles (Adventures of LoLo and Wario’s Woods), making the three promised titles from KOEI Tecmo available for everyone with it.

KOEI Tecmo launched Mighty Bomb Jack in last month’s additions to the service, and Solomon’s Key back in October. Who knows if we will be treated to more KT retro goodness in further releases, but considering their strong relationship with Nintendo we are very much hoping.

Right now you can enjoy Tecmo’s Bowl, Solomon’s Key and Mighty Bomb Jack (just to name KT’s games) on the service, and soon to have a very hardcore Christmas with Ryu in his original glory.

Check the trailer showing off the trio of releases below:

KOEI Tecmo shows up at The Game Awards with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 exclusive to Nintendo Switch!

As most of you may be aware, The Game Awards are currently live (as of time of writing) and during the awards a rather interesting IP popped up as a ‘World Premiere’. The title in particular is Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance 3, being developed by Team Ninja and KOEI Tecmo, to release in 2019 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

It has been known for a long while now that KOEI Tecmo has been working with a very popular western license, and this looks to be it. Showing itself off as a mix of brawling and RPG, just like it’s predecessor titles. Though this time Activision is no where in sight (for the best we’re sure).

You can read the official information for the game below:

MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order brings together Super Heroes and Super Villains from across the Marvel Universe to battle for the limitless power of the Infinity Gauntlet, one Stone at a time. This unprecedented team of characters must use their unique superpowers to defeat the mad cosmic tyrant Thanos and his ruthless warmasters, The Black Order. The game will feature an original story and a playable cast of dozens of Marvel Super Heroes, including the Avengers, the X-Men, and—for the first time in series history—the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The new game features the same kind of action-RPG gameplay that made the franchise such a hit over a decade ago. In MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order, up to four players can drop in for co-op battles in a variety of ways: They can play online*, link up offline via local wireless or pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend to join the team. With another pair of Joy-Con (sold separately), four players can team up on one system. In addition to the series’ traditional perspective, the new entry will let players select a dynamic, zoomed-in heroic view, allowing for a more immersive play style for single-player or multiplayer when using multiple systems.

Keep an eye out on our site for more information, trailer and game page in the coming days!

When KOEI Tecmo first announced another new release of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, they noted how the Switch version of the game will be taking advantage of a new “Soft 4D” technology, exclusive due to the use of both motion and HD rumble.

KOEI Tecmo Japan have now released a new trailer highlighting this feature greatly showing off what you can get your hands on with the title. With both the Switch’s “Soft 4D” mechanics and the PS4’s VR Paradise, you’ll see a lot of both old and new things in this beach volleyball romp.

You can view the full trailer below:

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet will be arriving on March 14th 2019 for both PS4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan. Again no news on any localisation, but the title should offer (at least in it’s Asian release) english support for those whom wish to import. Keep in mind though that the PS4 version is censored while the Switch version is untouched as of writing.
