Sonic Frontiers wins Excellence Award at the Japan Game Awards 2023

Sonic Frontiers has been awarded an Excellence Award in the 2023 Japan Game Awards, the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association announced early Thursday.

Director Morio Kishimoto accepted the award on behalf of SEGA during a live ceremony, and shared a few words to Sonic fans and the audience.

We just finished the development of the third update for Sonic Frontiers this morning. Thank you for voting for Sonic Frontiers and choosing us to win this honorable award. With this award and future awards, we will continue to listen to the voices of our players to keep evolving the third generation of Sonic.

The ceremony, hosted at this year's Tokyo Game Show, awards several high quality games from a variety of genres released in the past year.

Previously, Frontiers won in the Japan Games Awards’ "Future Division" in 2022, which awards non-released or anticipated works.

SILENT HILL: ASCENSION

About DecaPolice's possible 18+ age rating (TGS info translation)

*Image above is from Level-5's official website's TGS Report Day 1.

So, back in September during TGS, Akihiro Hino (Level-5's President/CEO) had a stage interview with Danganronpa & Rain Code's creator Kazutaka Kodaka.

The video has since been deleted from Level-5's official channel (since they had said they'd only archive it for 3 months).

But I've rewatched that video so many times I can almost rewind a section of their conversation back in my head 😅.

And that section is about Decapolice's age rating.

Basically, what happened was:

Hino: I like the games made by Western people, it makes me feel like we Japanese people should band up and do our best as well.

Kodaka: Speaking of Western, I know Level-5 usually make family-friendly games, but don't you want to try making a CERO-Z (18+) game like them?

Hino: Well, to be honest, it's not a proclamation or anything, but the game we're currently making, Decapolice, might actually be CERO-Z (18+).

Kodaka: Seriously?

Hino: Yes. It looks cute on the outside, but the inside's just messy (dorodoro). It's hard since, when developing it I'm always told "No, you can't. That's impossible for this country and that country." (As in impossible to sell in some countries AKA banned). When faced with that, it makes me feel like, "Well, should we not then?". But still, I want to stay true to Decapolice's original essence as much as possible.

Kodaka: Then, do you like brutal scenes too?

Hino: No, no, I don't really like brutal scenes. But, I made those scenes so they could in turn elevate other better, more beautiful, scenes.

Kodaka: I've played the demo, but it feels like a team game, full of fun and light-hearted.

Hino: Oh no, the actual thing is super dark. It's filled with things like 'revenge', 'karma', etc.

Kodaka: Is that so?

Hino: Yes, this time (TGS) we're pushing it as another one of Level-5's family-friendly game. Although, in the upcoming future we'll be revealing what the game truly is, little by little.

Kodaka: I see, I'm pretty interested now.

And that's it.

I have confidence in my memory & translation ability, and you can also find the same info from both JP & ENG twitter accounts that were watching the interview, all shocked 😂.

Also, this Famitsu news article that basically wrote down their convos (in Japanese & shortened): https://s.famitsu.com/news/202309/23318239.html

One more thing...

I just want to mention that Decapolice's use of puppet forms is because Level-5 wants to sort of 'side-step' the age rating system, by making them cute puppets and dolls.

Here's a link to that bit of info's translation by user @DartsEnthusiast on twitter (they also post the original article's link there): https://twitter.com/DartsEnthusiast/status/1636145350749704194?t=R9lBFMpto7vC6qUjPqAt8Q&s=19

...And with that, see you guys later 👍🏻

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Tales of Arise! Tales of Arise 2nd Anniversary Special Program Announced for Tokyo Game Show 2023

Happy 2nd anniversary, Tales of Arise! Aside from this new illustration released for the game's 2nd anniversary, an online program during Tokyo Game Show 2023, "Tales of Arise 2nd Anniversary Special Program", will be held on Sept 23 at 9:15PM JST, which will look back on the game and "introduce news on apps and goods." We're unsure at the moment if this means an update or possibly just mobile game updates, or maybe related to the Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn trademark...? 

Stay tuned for updates! About the Beyond the Dawn trademark.

A look at "Battle mode" in Sonic Superstars

With the Tokyo Game Show underway, Japanese publications are starting to share new details about the upcoming Sonic Superstars. Here's a look at the Battle mode feature.

Mech parts

Instead of playing as the main Sonic characters in these battles, you'll be able to construct your own Metal Fighter.

Here's a closer look at the Metal Knuckles mech parts, and what looks to be Metal Amy.

This is the mech part selection menu, featuring the Bear Robo-Head. Besides different head shapes, you can choose the part's colour too.

As you progress through the story, more items will be available in the Parts Shop.

Additionally, the medals collected in stages can be used to buy parts for your Metal Fighter.

Modes of play

The battle mode features 4 separate modes of play. These modes are chosen randomly.

Star Collect: Get the most stars to win.

Survival: Survive to the end of the match as cannonballs fall from the sky. The floor will collapse as the match goes on.

Fighting: Attack your opponents with electric attacks. Power them up with items around the stage. Whoever gets the most hits wins.

Race: The first person to reach the goal wins.

Those screenshots give us a closer look at the game's Green Hill and Lagoon City battle stages.

Meanwhile, SEGA of Japan previewed the Sky Temple Battle Stage. It featured Metal Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy.
