de NG:DEV.TEAM unveils NEO XYX

NG:DEV.TEAM unveils NEO XYXNG: DEV.TEAM has unveiled its next Neo-Geo MVS game: a vertical maniac shooting game named NEO XYX. To finance the title, the development team imagined a quite original system: the game development budget will depend on the number of pre-orders. If the budget is low, the game will be released in January 2013. By cons, if they collect a lot of money, stages will be longer, there will be more midboss, more game modes and game size will also be greater. About gameplay, the score system is based on medal chaining and a mild rank system. Furthermore, the player will be able to collect bombs to help him in his task. There will be 6 levels with varied and colorful settings, 6 endbosses, 16-bit hand-drawn graphics (dot graphics). NEO XYX will be the first Neo-Geo game to use a vertical screen (TATE). It will however be usable on horizontal monitors thanks to an option to switch between vertical (TATE) and horizontal controls (YOKO). The limited edition MVS cartridge is limited to 50-75 units worldwide. Pre sales get an early bird discount of 9% / 40 EUR (€ 399 instead of € 439). The limited edition package will include a shockbox, a 12-page full colour game manual, 2 posters and a soundtrack CD. As with all NG: DEV.TEAM games, the cartridge will feature a USB port to update the game. NEO XYX can be pre-ordered on NG: DEV.DIRECT. The status of the budget can also be checked there.

be Initial D 4 in Belgium

Initial D 4 in Belgium5 years is the time needed for Initial D 4 to come to Belgium. It's the last game in the series to have been translated into English. Adapted from a manga by ShÅ«ichi Shigeno, this Sega racing game immerses you in the universe of illegal mountain races on Eurobeat music. Unlike most arcade racing games, this one offers a role play side as each race is preceded by a short sequence where your opponent talks to you. Each duel earns you points thanks to which you can improve your car (if you own the game card) with genuine parts from 5zigen, BN Sports, Border, Bozz Speed, Charge Speed, Enkei, C-West, Jun, Cibié, RS Watanabe, ... If the game seems quite technical at first and the mountain course tricky, you will progress very quickly. Will you become a pro drifter? Besides the story mode, there is a "Time Attack" mode and an "In-store Battle" mode allowing you to confront the other player even if he's in the middle of a a race. The machine is located at Jeux Américains mobile arcade which is currently in Charleroi. It will be in Tournai in September and in Liège in October. This is the European cabinet with Initial D 4 version 1.5 software. For now, the card readers/dispensers are turned off, but we are assured that they will be available in a few weeks. For fans of Japanese cars (Mazda RX-7, Subaru WRX, Toyota Trueno AE86, Lancer Evo, ...), the anime is available in English through Funimation. The first episode of the fifth season will be available on Perfect Choice Pay-Per-View channel on November 9th. Let's drift!!!
