"Sayonara NEC"

Aside from chips and the like, NEC is no longer in the game industry. They have sold their holdings in NEC Interchannel, their publishing house, and last remnants of what was once a huge gaming group. Interchannel will bring out "Clover" a computer visual novel. The PS2 original contents will include an extra scenario, and an original event in CG. Incidentally, this may mean that "Black Matrix OO" for the PS One is the final NEC game of all time. "Clover" will be released on the 26th of August 26th at 7,800 for the limited edition (with audio drama C.D.), and 6,800 for the standard edition.

"'Girls Bravo' Fog Situation"

Many people have wondered about the fog case from the anime of "Girls Bravo". The topic has been so hot, one Japanese fan refered to this series as "Steam Girls". According to the series's character designer Makino Ryuuichi, the effect was requested by Fuji, the channel showing the series, due to regulations. This effect will not be shown when it's released on DVD.

"'Full House Kiss'"

Capcom has a page up on their ren'ai game, "Full House Kiss". The game will be 6,800, the game will be out on the 22nd and the game will be for the Playstation 2. A note to keep in mind is that Sasaki Nozomu plays as one of the guys of the game and so does Koyasu Takehito.

It may not be "Girl's Side II", but Capcom sure found a way to get attention for this game in Nozomu-san and Takehito-san. The art looks more like that of "I.N.V.U." if you ask me. Yeah.

"A New Hayashibara in the Family"

Hayashibara Megumi gave birth to a baby girl on the 28th of last month in a Tokyo hospital and both of them are doing fine. She stated in her official page, megumi House, that during pain and complication states, she would have conversations with various characters she played as so that she would gain strength to pull through. There's no word yet on what the popular seiy named the child.

My money is on Asako. Hee! Oh and omedet gozaimasu Megumi-sama! By the way, I'd appreciate it if someone would find an actual quote of Megumi-sama's character conversations. Maybe a site like 2ch or some other site might have more information.

Well, the sprite looks good. I can say that. Might as well pick her first since I never got the chance to test with "All-Stars".
