Meet "Asrock," The Puppeteer Boss

Earlier today, a special live stream was hosted on Nico Live that exhibited several upcoming game titles in Japan. During this show, new Gunvolt 2 footage was shown off by Keiji Inafune of Comcept and Yoshihisa Tsuda of Inti Creates. This footage featured the stage of Asrock, the puppeteer boss, a character that we'd formerly known very little about. You can watch it for yourselves below courtesy of Kira A, who uploaded the gameplay to Youtube.

The entire stream was, of course, in Japanese, but Zoram was kind enough to provide me with details on what went down during the broadcast. He plans to also subtitle the video later on, but in the meantime, you can read his general analysis of the stream below:

Check Out The Famitsu Gunvolt 2 3DS Theme

This week's issue of Famitsu is featuring something pretty special for Gunvolt fans: a code that can be used to unlock an exclusive Gunvolt 2 theme on the 3DS theme shop! This theme shows GV and Lumen on the top screen, and Copen and Lola on the bottom screen. It also includes the song from Copen's intro stage in Gunvolt 2.

Gunvolt fan Tavi was kind enough to record video footage of the theme and send it to me. You can check it out for youselves above! Thanks a ton, Tavi!

Inti Creates Releases Info on Three New GV2 Characters

Inti Creates has released information on three new characters from the Gunvolt 2 official game art. These characters include Nowa (now known as "Nori"), Copen's sister, and the blue-haired operator boy. I've reproduced their character bios and such below for the sake of convenience. Hit the jump for the full lowdown!

Check Out Video Footage From The Gunvolt 2 Demo! *UPDATED*


Ready for something really exciting, folks? Earlier last week, I talked about a new Gunvolt 2 demo that Inti showcased at one of their public events in Japan. This demo showed off some really cool stuff about the game that we'd not known about before. As you may recall, though, at the time, I could only supply a list of the new details that were revealed. I couldn't provide any actual video footage because I had no means of retrieving any.

That's now changed, however! In a surprising turn of events, the GV2 demo footage that Inti showcased at their event has been converted into video! What's more, good ol' Zoram sent me a translation document for all character dialogue in the demo! Wasn't that nice of him?

You can catch the video footage on NicoNico right here. Word of note, though: you need a NicoNico account to watch videos on the site. Not that that's a huge deal--you can sign in easily via any Twitter, Facebook, Google, Nintendo Network or even Line account.

UPDATE: Gameplay footage now on Youtube:


And, of course, you can find the character dialogue translations below. Yeah, I know, not as convenient as subtitles on the actual video, but the dialogue is pretty easy to follow nonetheless. Hope you folks enjoy it! It's super cool stuff!

The Muses of Gunvolt 2 & Copen's New Abilities

So, as some of you may have noticed yesterday, Inti Creates released a bunch of new information about Gunvolt 2 via several Japanese game media outlets yesterday. The info mainly concerned Lumen and Copen's newly-revealed Muse, "RoRo" (the red fairy girl from the Gunvolt 2 poster). There's also some information on Copen's weapon copy system. I daresay that the English Inti Creates website plans to cover this news eventually, but I'm taking the liberty of posting the news anyway for those who want the earliest scoop. After all, I daresay that there are a lot of people out there itching to know more about these new characters and the Copen's play-style!
Massive thanks to Zoram Selrof for translating this stuff!

Among the most important details that were announced, Copen was confirmed as a new playable character, and we received a new release window for Gunvolt 2.

Dengeki Nintendo Character Profiles: Acura

Time for some more Acura info! Wow, Inti sure likes that guy a lot, don't they? There's probably more backstory info about him than any other character in Gunvolt, even GV himself! But hey, I'm certainly not complaining; Acura's a super neat character!

Again, many thanks to Zoram Selrof for the translation! If you wish to compare this EN translation to the original Japanese text from Dengeki Nintendo, see here:

"Acura's Story" (From The Dengeki Nintendo Magazine)


Inti Creates is no stranger to releasing side-story content for their games. For Gunvolt alone they've released two drama track CDs (with another coming soon), a side-story that was expanded upon every week for a couple months (which is also scheduled to continue), and a short epilogue in the official Gunvolt soundtrack that narrated Acura's fate following the true ending of the first game.

Suffice to say that Inti's been very generous with behind-the-scenes story information, particularly regarding Acura. And surprise surprise, they've recently published another bit of Gunvolt side-story content exclusive to the Japanese Dengeki Nintendo magazine!
