Various fighting modes have been revealed for Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho, Sega’s upcoming Yakuza spin-off. There will be three modes: Submission Battle, Tag Match, and Team Battle. In addition, players will be able to create their own characters and take them into the ad-hoc duels. Apparently, none of the modes will feature life bars, which developers say will enhance the overall atmosphere. No idea how players will know if they’re winning or losing as of yet.

Massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) Final Fantasy XIV will include a fatigue system that will prevent players from gaming into the long hours of the night. This new system will force players to play for a shorter period of time, allowing casual players to be on par with hardcore gamers. It will provide full experience for only eight hours a week. Once the eight hours are done, the amount of experience gained will decrease over seven hours. After that, the player will not gain any additional experience. The idea of playing an MMORPG for only eight hours a week may turn fans away from Final Fantasy XIV.
Upcoming Yakuza Playstation Portable spinoff Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho will feature nightlife minigames, which include games like UFO catchers or part time jobs. These were common in the series, but part time jobs seem to be a new feature. The part time job minigames will consist of button commands, which will effectively make these a series of rhythm games. Apparently, these will also fund the players’ nightlife activities, meaning they can’t just slack off and go to the karaoke or massage parlor all the time. List of activities and screenshots after the jump.
Twinkle Queen, the new Milestone crossover fighter featuring characters from various visual novels, will incorporate elements from many other established fighting games. The game will be a 2-on-2 fighter, allowing players to switch out characters throughout fights, including while being hit, blocking, or during a combo. While attacking, players will also be able to tap forward twice to dash out of an attack animation and continue a combo. The most risky gameplay feature lets players tap forward in order to cancel out an incoming attack and counterattack immediately. More after the jump.
