Sorry, we never put in a button configuration option :<

For those of you who are still interested, here's all the recordings of the NorCal Install livestream from when I was playing/talking about the game: http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/302267946 http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/302268195 http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/302269879 http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/302270984 http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/302272895

Some more screenshots have found their way to the interwebs, courtesy of some Japanese web store I've never heard of. Check out that link for more gameplay screenshots featuring Rikuo, Hagoromo-Gitsune, Tsurararararararara and others. Particularly hype is that it looks like the full VS screen is finally revealed: That's a whole lot of yokai... ( ゜３゜)

It's on the PS3 as well: http://www.konami.jp/products/nura_ps3/

That first screenshot on the Konami page looks like it's actually of the pre-fight animation... The Japanese in the middle means "VS"

A fighting game based on Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan made by ARC System Works!? It's like we've entered a parallel dimension where inexplicably awesome things happen on a daily basis! More screenshots at the official product page Some of the gameplay details leaked(?) from this page on Rakuten: Assemble teams from from over 100 different Yokai. There seems to be two different classifications: Aide and Underling Being pitched as a Team vs Team game, where using your Aides and Underlings well is vitally important Max 4 players, offline or online When you defeat an online opponent you get one of their yokai(!) More official info is forthcoming...

You seem to be under the impression that game developers in Japan do things other than work. I kid though, they do happen sometimes and as Token White Guy they are very entertaining to watch. Off the top of my head, the single most hilarious thing I saw was one of the interns get tricked in to asking one of the office ladies why she wasn't married yet. She was livid, he barely escaped death at her hands >_>' Sadly, they don't usually get that rowdy, but that doesn't mean they aren't interesting XD

I am pretty sure everyone on the team suggested it at least once due some controllers having really, um, special d-pads. Promotions for everybody! Yup, Arc's token white guy. They have a different ideas about community relations in Japan so I have to break out of my cage if I want to troll post on Dustloop.

:O

Well If you need motivation just remember that I didn't get to go to the panel either

Indeed. Generally speaking these are the sorts of questions that are likely just going to turn in to wastes of time and make a room full of rabid fans try to hate you to death. I would recommend avoiding the following questions: Questions about future games: If the game has not been announced before the Q&A section starts, the odds of anyone talking about it are slim-to-none. It would be great if we could announce our upcoming titles early without totally ruining our sales numbers down the road, but that's human psychology for you. Questions about story: Most story related questions are not going to get answered for a couple of very practical reasons. First, the question may actually not have an answer at all- that page of fictional history could very well be yet unwritten. Secondly, even if there is an answer, I'm certain the Dynamic Duo would prefer question be answered in the proper narrative context. I know it is maddening, but try to enjoy the mystery :3

The schedule on the first page has been updated with the panel times. Other events are either undecided or not ready for the public just yet.

Hi. I wish I knew why DL decided to stop notifying me when people posted in this thread, quite a bother! With Fanime right around the corner this is the last call for questions! If you've been holding out on me now is the time to let me know what topics you want to hear covered at the panels! I live a couple of minutes from Shin-yokohama at the moment, yes, but sadly there is no Fanime anywhere other than San Jose
