Price and date not confirmed. Might have other characters becoming usable in the future too. Will also add an option to change the in-game BGM and a model viewing mode where you can view the in-game models.
Somebody is trying to register “Otoko no ko” as a trademark
Where Otoko no ko means cross dressing men. The company is Mirai Shonen, they’ve done some moe mags and some mobile games previously.

Black Rock Shooter anime… I guess it didn’t manage to pave a nice and easy road for TGS
Urotan’s Strike Witches manga on hiatus
Monday, July 26th, 2010
Urotan’s official Strike Witches manga had started on Comp Ace a while back but was already on hiatus.
Urotan has posted a notice on his site:
I’ll just report about what has been happening recently
It has been really disorganized right from the start when I took the job, and against my wishes I wasn’t given a chance to do any preparations in advance and they abruptly did that announcement notice about the manga even though everything was in a bad state.
Even then I wanted everybody to enjoy the manga so I desperately worked myself to death to get that first chapter out.
But under those adverse circumstances that single chapter was the limit.
Right now I finally got to get into direct contact with the anime staff, and I have currently established a good relationship with them.
But on the topic of continuing the serialization, I really want to do it but the various problems that came up previously has left a significant psychological exhaustion on me, and I have decided that as my mental state is currently still unable to return to normal, I have to temporarily give up on continuing the manga.
Right now I am just extremely regretful that I am unable to deliver an enjoyable manga to everybody at the current optimal timing.
What happens after this is currently undetermined, but right now I only hope to get a little time off.
I’m really sorry to have gotten everybody concerned and worried for me.

MBAACC has finally been completed and they’re slowly working on the new 2D fighter, it’s still in planning stages and the pic above is the characters they’re thinking of for the new game.
They’re still deciding on the cast so it can be expected to change a lot. The game is in the early planning stages and it’ll be a very long time before the game will even be officially announced, much less completed.
Narita is still recruiting new dotters.

The new Maritan book will come with a shooting game by French Bread. They’ve apparently been slowly working on this for 4 years, a demo is available at the bottom of the website linked.

Everybody has probably already forgotten about the horizontal shooter Lunaria by now but they’ve been slowly working on the main game and they plan to release a new demo at the coming summer Comiket.
Lastly they also hope to release a demo for Nichijou sekai no reigaisha which is a horizontal scrolling action game that will resemble Valis.

Touhou 12.8 Yousei Daisensou
Friday, July 23rd, 2010
ZUN has announced on his blog that he’ll be releasing Touhou 12.8 “Touhou Sangetsusei – Yousei Daisensou” at the upcoming summer Comiket. The art is by the Touhou Sangetsusei artist Hirasaka Makoto, and in the game the player will play as Cirno and freeze incoming bullets instead of dodging them.
I guess Cirno is the strongest and there is no need to dodge bullets at all.
