"Drops on 'Hyper Multimedia Music Magazine'"

"Hyper Multimedia Music Magazine" has Drops on the cover of its current issue.

Darn you people! You never gave me a copy of the previous issue for my birthday! Yeah, that had Tamura Yukari-san on the cover! I guess you people will not give me a copy of this issue either, huh?

"Well, if 'Newtype U.S.A.' only includes DVDs with subscriptions now, you could always try an issue of Anicolle Dragon." - The Natsume webmaster.

What does that tell you? =P

"'Magna Carta's' PS2 Voice Actors"

Old news, but Phoenix has made a thread regarding the voice actors for the PS2 port of "Magna Carta".

That's a list if I may say so myself and I can't wait for the game.

"'Yogurting'"

Old news again, but you can now check out "Yogurting", a Korean mmorpg with techno. Special thanks goes to Cafeh2.

Korean animation schoolgirls + techno = that's it! I need to sign up!

It looks fun. Also, early on, I didn't like Falcoon-san's art, but now, even though his art can be inconsistent at times, I think it's okay.

"Miura Rieko to be Naked for a Photo Book...Again" - This is only for those 18 years old and older obviously.

Old news, but Sankie Sports has reported that Miura Rieko will pose naked in another photo book. A week from today, you can catch her picture in "Gekkan (Monthly) Miura Rieko". If you recall, she appeared naked in "Hugs", which was published three years ago.

Uh, I can come up with a witty quote here, but since I am not like that, I will not do so.

"New 'Neo-Geo Battle Coliseium' Bits"

The names of the new guy and girl respectively are Yuki and Ai. Also, the new characters are "Garou Densetsu's" Tung, Asura of the "Samurai Spirits" series and the pair of "World Heroes" characters: Fuma and Hanz. There are eight slots left and it will most likely happen that most of those eight characters behind the slots will be announced later this month.

Source(s): The Madman's Cafe

Tung and Asura are great choices, especially since I never had the chance to play as the former. I still see no signs of a "Ryko" character, but if I have to guess, Temjin will be the only character of the series because up to this point, there are no huge guys yet.

"Possible 'Melty Blood Act Candenza' News Bits?"

"Mai and Athena Pinky: st. Dolls"

To celebrate 10 years of "The King of Fighters", an announcement of Pinky: st dolls appears and the ladies who will add the task of having a Pinky: st doll of themselves to their lists of merchandise of themselves are Mai and Athena. To get one of these, you must buy "2003", the "1994" remake called "KoF 1994 Re: Bout" and "Maximum Impact" though and you better buy them quickly because once the dolls are gone, they're gone.

Why couldn't I have been nearly broke at a better time? I'd rather buy the dolls themseleves though.

"'Capcom Fighting Jam' Roster"

The confirmed characters you have heard up to this point are part of the roster of the game. That's it. So, if you haven't heard by now, the characters will be listed by saga. For "Street Fighter II", you have Ry, Guile, Zangief and Vega. For "Street Fughter III", you have Chun-Li, Yun, Alex and Urien. For "Street Fighter Zero", you have Sakura, Karin, Rose and Guy. For "Vampire", you have Felicia, Anakaris, Demitri and Jedah. For "Warzard", you have Mukur, Leo, Hauzer and Nool. Oh and for "Capcom Fighting All-Stars", which only got as far as tests, you have Ingrid only. One has to keep in mind that each character will play by their saga set. So, that means the "Street Fighter Zero" characters will play in V-ism mode, a mode from "Street Fighter Zero III", the "Street Fighter III" characters have the ability to parry, and I'm sure you have the idea already. The page of the game can be found here.

That's it? Ick. Well, here's to hoping that the game will amuse me in a good way.
