Our Ink-Demon Got Patched!

Acquire wasted no time to get things patched up in their art style hack&Slay / Jump&Run game sumioni.
So in the upcoming days the players of that game are able to update their version for free.

This so-called patch adds two modes to our black and red friend, Ranking Mode and Gallery Mode. Ranking will let you compete against other players in terms of time and skill in dodging enemy blows. Those with the most speed and those with the smallest amount of damage will get into the top seats of those leaderboards.

A release date was not given but here are some screenshots for you to look over, so savor them for the time being until XSEEDGames releases the game here~

Sumioni will also challenge your desktop!

But also on your PC if you want to have something on your desktop until the game's released here!

XSEED Announces Sumioni: Demon Arts

Aaaaaaand we're back with some excellent news! XSEED, our beloved publisher of titles like Trails in the Sky, Corpse Party and Fishing Resort officially announced its next localization today. This time it's all about "Sumioni: Demon Arts". Never heard of it? Well, that's not surprising, since it's a Playstation Vita title and isn't even out in Japan yet.
From the looks of it, Sumioni will be one of the launch titles for the western PSV release!

Sumioni presents the PSVita's new features, specifically what you can do with the touchscreen, and how it can benefit Games. This example featuring the Ink Demon (who looks pretty cool!) shows expertly how to involve touch controls in your games to create a unique feeling, rather than just adding them for the sake of it.
Sitting in the camp of "traditional" controls, I can't help but be excited about that game.
Thanks to XSEED it will eventually appear on my doorstep - in a language I can understand!
