Spike Chunsoft releases first episode of Dangan TV for Danganronpa’s 10th Anniversary

As part of Danganronpa’s 10th anniversary, Spike Chunsoft has released the first episode of a new Youtube series called Dangan TV: Hope Keeps on Going!

The first episode is hosted by Megumi Ogata [voice actress for Makoto Naegi, the main character of Danganronpa 1] and also features Yoshinori Tersawa [series producer] and Kazutaka Kodaka [series creator and scenario writer] riffing on the development of the games. If you’re a Danganronpa fan (and who isn’t?!), it’s worth hearing tidbits about how Kodaka came up with the concept behind the trails and how the original title was “15-Year-Old Massacre Something Something”.

Danganronpa is sort of a weird chimera game made of a visual novel, courtroom trial, and random mini-games. The story is fantastic.

It’s also available on mobile, so you have no excuses.

Apple removes over 3,000 games from the Chinese App Store missing licenses

In an earlier post, I mentioned that Apple was looking to close the loophole that allowed developers to sell monetized games on the Chinese App Store without having a license. Let’s say that the loophole has now been closed.

Today, Apple showed off the firepower of their fully-armed and operational battle station removed more than 3,000 games from the App Store that failed to comply with the order requiring developers to have a license.

Normally, the App Store removes around 200 games per day, so this is a bit of a big deal.
