However, due to the nature of her role in the game, Margaret will limited to use in the ‘Free Play’ game type and must be unlocked through in-game accomplishments. You can check out her character video here:
Persona 4: Dancing All Night will be available in stores on the 29th of September for $49.99 in the America’s and will also be available on the PlayStation Store for the same price. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more news emerges.

The CD Soundtrack will only be available for retail pre-orders and a limited number of launch copies. Unfortunately for our European friends, the release will be digital only.
For those of you that haven’t seen the official launch trailer yet, it’s available here:
Having played Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax in both arcades, and on the PlayStation Vita with the Japanese release; I can vouch that whilst it’s a simple fighter which probably won’t ever be seen making its way into the competitive scene, it’s still a fun niche game for fans of both the anime/manga and fighting game genres respectively.
You can expect a Western Release on the 6th of October and we hope to have a full review out to accompany it.
The recent PlayStation Vita rhythm game Persona 4: Dancing All Night welcomes a new member to the dance crew as Hatsune Miku bursts onto the stage as downloadable content, as announced by Atlus here.
Hatsune Miku will be added to the game via DLC around August in Japan, introducing a new track to the game with her “Heaven feat. Hatsune Miku (ATOLS Remix).” It’d be an easy guess to say that this will be a remix of the song “Heaven” from the Persona 4 soundtrack. There is no news yet as to whether Atlus will be bringing the Hatsune Miku DLC to the west with its upcoming release.
You can expect to be seeing Persona 4: Dancing All Night coming to North America exclusive to PlayStation Vita on the 29th of September, with the game launching in Japan back in June.

Teddie – Persona 4
It’s official; Persona 4: Dancing All Night is available in Japan, and after 24 hours with the game, how are you all enjoying it?
Based half a year after the original events of Persona 4, we find that the town of Inaba is once again being threatened by mysteries that only seem to be occurring at midnight. Thus sparking a new rumor, sharing the same gritty undertone that something more powerful is at play and is having serious real world effects.
“At midnight, if you see a strange video playing on a certain site, you are transported to the ‘other side’ and will never wake up again…”
This time, members of the popular Idol Group “Kanamin Kitchen” are disappearing, so it’s up to the Investigation Team to band together to defeat the shadows once again… through the power of over the top dance battles.
Exclusive to the PlayStation Vita, Persona 4: Dancing All Night is the latest spinoff game for the series, featuring 29 new musical arrangements of the Persona 4 OST. With talent from the likes of Yuu Miyake (Katamari Damacy, Tekken), Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid, Bayonetta), Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill, Lollipop Chainsaw), Shinichi Osawa (aka Mondo Grosso), and even internationally famous artist Towa Tei, we’re more than sure that this game will have you up dancing all night.
Stay tuned for any future news pertaining to the game.
Kadokawa Games has released long awaited news regarding Kancolle Kai, an upcoming PlayStation Vita game based on the massively popular Web Game through today’s issue of Famitsu.
Announced today, we can be looking at a August 27, 2015 release for the game within Japan, with still no mention of it coming to the west.
With the PC Browser Game ‘Kantai Collection’ amassing an incredible three million players, Famitsu reports that it was brought to the Vita to ‘Strengthen the game’ bringing your fleet to a whole new platform.
The game will feature a new strategic positioning system, where instead of being thrown into different maps, you will be given different hexes that you can control, protect and also move. It’s taken a slight change from the web variant of the game as we’re now looking at a full pledged turn-based system, meaning that the Abyssal Fleets will have the ability to move around as well.
Implementations like the Abyssal Fleets being able to attack your home base as well is sure to keep the player on their guard in a way completely unlike the original which was able to be played on a ‘as you want to basis’. The game ends if the main island is invaded; so be at the ready teitoku’s.
As in the web browser variant, there will also be seasonal events too to change things up every now and then, and the ability to select the difficulty of the game when you start.
For more information, be sure to stay tuned on the 9th of July when more is announced through Famitsu.
