MaiMai English release in September 6th

At this moment, we don’t even know where the game is released in English language in September 6th as the Locations page is missing. It will take the developers some time to add that page to the English site of the game. One more update from this game is that it will feature songs from other Sega games that was recently announced in September 10th. This features the songs from Rhythm Thief, Virtua Fighter and Feel the Magic. Those songs will be under Extend Genre. Hell, the update was already released today but damn, I need to some time in researching on where this game be found around my country as I believe that there may be an Asian release of this game with the Western release being unlikely to me.

Arrival of Iphone 5 and Ipod Touch 5th Gen Part Two

Now, about the Ipod Touch 5th Gen which is comparable to Iphone 5, the Ipod Touch 5th Gen will be released in multiple colors. There will be features that are also used in Iphone 5 but Ipod Touch 5th Gen will come with The Loop. Well, The Loop, huh? That should be a feature for Iphone 5 in the first place in addition to Ipod Touch. Well, whatever, this accessory can somewhat decrease a security a bit but you can somewhat wear it on your hand while holding the device.

Unfortunately, unlike Iphone 5, the Ipod Touch 5th Gen will be using A5 DUAL-CORE. How do you like that when Iphone 5 uses the A6 SOC when it looks like the new chip?

Another downside is that the Ipod Touch 5th Gen will be released sometime in October compared to Iphone 5 so I may have to wait even longer or so.

Arrival of Iphone 5 and Ipod Touch 5th Gen

Yesterday, Apple announced the new Iphone and Ipod Touch as well as the new ITunes which is version 11.

If the previous models were not light enough, they have come up with such a remarkably thin and light design but then, it’s nearly impossible to make a device that thin and light without sacrificing features or performance. From the interface of IOS 6, it may seem to be the same but having to make things clean and modern like trying to make things fast is like sacrificing the visuals already.

For Iphone 5, it contains the usage of nano-SIM card, which is 44% smaller than the micro-SIM cards. They also developed a unique cellular solution for it. Previously, there’s one voice chip and one data chip for the previous models but for Iphone 5, they are merged into one whole chip which can save some space needed for other stuffs. Also, the Lightning connector which is intelligent and reversible and 80% smaller than the 30-pin connector. In addition, the 8MP iSight camera has even more features like panorama and dynamic low-light mode and yet it’s 20% smaller. Finally, the new A6 chip is up to 2X faster than the A5 chip but 22% smaller. With all these features being small, the Iphone 5 is overall lighter than Iphone 4S.

This year, there will be new EarPods from Apple which may look different than the earpieces of Apple we’re currently using. Furthermore, the Apple EarPods can provide stronger protection from sweat and water and they’re remarkably stable in the ear but the thing is, can the wires for this be even longer?

In addition, the Iphone 5 will have the ultrafast wireless adapter that doesn’t sacrifice battery life but what about the adapter that connects to the Data Network which can be costly? What’s also new in Iphone 5 is the widescreen resolution mixed with Retina Display similar to Android devices. So in the future, the games will be using widescreen mode for Iphone 5 and Ipod Touch 5th as well as Android devices with widescreen resolution as if the games will not be compatible for Iphone 4 and Ipod Touch 4th Gen and below. You can try to squeeze the 4:3 game as if the whole game is suited for 16:9 display while it can be compatible for Ipod Touch 4th Gen and Iphone 4 as well as the newer versions of IOS devices but who knows. Due to the use of widescreen display, the devices will be in widescreen and you get to watch widescreen videos without the worry of letterboxing. Unfortunately, the resolution is still not enough to match today’s standard HD resolution, 1280X720 so you’re better off watching on today’s notebook computer or Ipad devices if you will. You can also watch HD videos without pixel-loss on Android devices with HD resolution.

Using LTE wireless technology, it is able to bring about the faster wireless connection. In addition, Iphone 5 can support more networks globally. That includes advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. The Dual-band 802.11n can accelerate the Wi-Fi speed of up to 150Mbps. Even better is the even longer battery life of up to 8 hours of browsing on a cellular connection, up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 10 hours of video playback time. What about the games and other apps that take a whole lot of the battery life?

(Sigh), when it comes to taking pictures with the camera technology, the noise is freaking everywhere. I can use the Webcam for video capture which is fine after making things sharper with proper Focus adjustments but even then, the noise is still there. Can the Iphone 5 and Ipod Touch 5th Gen reduce the noise? And best of all, you can capture a 1080p video to be displayed on the TV.

For the Lightning connector, it is somewhat thinner than the 30-pin Adapter we have been using but if you still want to use the old connector for Iphone 5, you’re going to need the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter for this.

Other features may include AirPrint, AirPlay and Built-In Apps for Iphone 5. For the improved Mail, you can see more portions of the messages thanks to the widescreen support on Iphone 5 and Ipod Touch 5th Gen. You can view the attachments from the messages but be careful, there are technical factors for the attachments. You can add photos or videos to emails but for videos, they may be too large so what’s the freaking point of adding videos as the attachments. There’s also the ICloud support for Mail but I don’t happen to be receiving lots of mail on that account so I’m already sticking on to Hotmail and AOL accounts on my Ipod Touch.

The Iphone 5 will be available in September 21st.

Idolmaster Shiny Festa September Update

There is a new feature called Star of Festa Mode in which this five day event is locked until you earn enough fans and improve your idol unit rank. Well, this one may seem to be easy enough because it’s a different game than the original Idolmaster series where you have to manage the idols you want and besides, the games are in Japanese entirely.

According to the details from Famitsu magazine, each day in this new mode has three songs to play. The third stage is an idol battle where your idol unit group will battle live against other idol groups but who knows what’s with Project Jupiter nowadays after getting out of 961 Productions due to finding out the tyrant and nasty actions of President Kuroi. If you defeat the rival idol group, you’ll get the business card as a reward. The mode takes place over five days where votes are cast on which idol unit is the best so your job is produce well and make sure you can defeat the weaknesses that are going at you and other fans.

Playstation Vita Cover Obtained

No new games to buy yet for the console but I do have just obtained the plastic cover for the console similar to the cover for the Playstation Portable but upon applying it, I just realized that the cover is not as good as the previous cover I have.

Meanwhile after purchasing this, I got a Perfect Grade for Nekomimi Switch in Hard Mode in Project Diva Arcade but this is not the first time I got one though. The two previous Perfect Grade occurrences happened to me when playing Project Diva F on the Vita and those were in Normal Mode difficulty. I still have a long way to go after completing all the songs in Normal Mode. In the meantime, you can try various challenges in Project Diva F but be warned, some of the help items are brutal enough that you will be graded down for using them no matter how well you’ve done to the song.

DJ Max Mobile for IOS

There are previous versions of DJ Max Mobile series released for Korean cellphones and this year, there will be the upcoming IOS version. What kind of gameplay will this be and will this be released in Korea first this fall? Right now on YouTube, there is only the teaser trailer video and it doesn’t give us whatever details unfortunately.

Now, there is already a game on IOS by Neowiz Internet called TapSonic which contains DJ Max series songs which are ridiculously difficult depending on the songs and the K-Pop songs in which I may appreciate of normally. For this year’s update of the game, you’re able to play a different song everyday for free tree times so the next day you play the game, you’re given another different song and each song as part of some event will be given three attempts. It may increase some kind of replayability. Unfortunately, the feature as part of the update that allows you to increase the music points by completing three stages and then tweeting for example to get the points is gone. Interestingly enough for westerners, there may be western songs as well in TapSonic.

So for DJ Max Mobile for IOS, I may guess that the gameplay will be based on the original DJ Max series, DJ Max Technika series or both but we’ll get to find out more after this article.

Dreamy Theater Extend for Playstation 3 Update

Well, it’s kind of shameful that the previous Project Diva games didn’t seem to make it to the Asian Playstation Network so that the sales can be boosted that way and in fact, it should be the same for the Playstation 3 versions. If Project Diva F had made it to Asian PSN, who knows if the Playstation 3 version will?

According to Siliconera, the game for the Playstation 3 will be released on September 13th and include the live mode where you can rotate the camera and six modules taken from Project Diva Arcade. Just like the previous Dreamy Theater series, you’re still going to need the original game on the PSP, PSP console, Playstation 3 console AND your Playstation Network but what’s the point since the Dreamy Theater games are on Japanese PSN?
