The Nintendo Switch version of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix will be out in English on 15th May. The catch? It'll be out di

The Fate/Stay Night universe is known for many things. Legendary heroes, heartbreaking storylines, and of course, extremely detailed cooking sections. For that third element, they turned it into an entire manga and anime. Now it's going to be made into a game. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OntAkbR-aGc&w

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the original PlayStation, which originally launched in Japan on 3 December 1994 and changing the landscape of the gaming industry forever. Sony's first console is currently the fifth best-selling gaming console of all-time (including handhelds), with over 102.49 million units sold to

Sega shocked veteran fans of the Yakuza franchise when they revealed last month that the next entry will feature turn-based JRPG-inspired combat rather than the series' now-iconic fluid and fast-paced brawler action. In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu (via Gematsu), Yakuza 7 (whose title could be translated as eith

It's 26 August again, my friends which means it's International Dog Day! Here at Kakuchopurei, we want to celebrate International Dog Day by sharing with you guys our favourite barkers and woofers from films and video games.

Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Musical Action Adventure When you think of the term "spoiling the market", you think lazy spin-off titles and offshoots like a lot of Final Fantasy mobile games out there. But you also think of other titles like your Auto Chess games in Dota 2; an offshoot of a mod that is so addictive

Check out the first half of all the 61 titles below. And if you've already seen all the games here, you can see part 2 here instead. 1. Bloodroots (PS4, Nintendo Swi

We love it when there are so many video game outlets saying their various two cents on a particular title. Especially with one 5 years in the making from the company that created Bubsy 3D and then the Syphon Filter series as an apology for the former. We gave Days Gone an above average score; it's a fun and incredibly

A Video Games Chronicle interview has shed new light on what Platinum Games has been up to. You know, those guys in charge of the best damn action games on the planet like the Bayonetta series and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Here are the best bits from said interview: Bayonetta 3 will see a change in design pr

Way before From Software loved testing and torturing players with the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games, they had a hand in creating some of the most beloved action game since the late 90s. Okay,  we lied. They're not beloved, but more like "tolerated" and "garnered a cult following". From Software aren't like Capcom

I'll just say it: Katana Zero and Cadence Of Hyrule. That's all you need to get my seal of approval for today's indie announcements. Peace out. ... .... Okay, fine. I'll talk about the other indie game highlights from the latest Nintendo Direct video. Keep in mind that some of these games are also available on PC, P

In case you couldn't tell from the Kakuchopurei Instagram page (yes we have that, please follow us kthanxbai), I was down in Tokyo for the JAEPO 2019 game festival arcade esports extravaganza. And there are tons to do if you love games, arcade games, cosplay, anime, and the culture. Like, a TON. There's a number of ar

It's been more than a decade since Kingdom Hearts 2 and fans have long wondered how the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3 will differentiate itself in terms of gameplay. In an interview with IGN, Kingdom Hearts 3 co-director Tai Yasue elaborated on the new gameplay features set to be introduced in the long-awaited sequel. Che

It’s time to make merry, grab some Steam discounts, and hammer out those "Best of 2018" lists. As my fellow Kakuchopurei pals dig out their Year of the Dog highlights, I’d like to spend this time sniffing out five positive developments from the industry so far. It’s all too easy to count our losse

I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix. As it stands, the motley of games on the mini retro console is, how shall I put it, lacking. I'm not saying I know better, but as some

I used to slag on virtual reality, since the concept sounds like a big gimmick. But then we see games like Moss, which can change our perceptions by a tiny bit. Immersion is important in games, and if it's pulled off right, your VR game is made all the more entrancing. What used to be exorbitantly-priced is now mad

Two upcoming Inti Creates games are now available in demo form via this week's Steam Next Fest.

Taiko No Tatsujin is a rhythm game franchise by Bandai Namco, where players beat a taiko drum in time with the music.
