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.
Love Plus Arcade has been announced and they will be holding location tests this weekend on the 24th and 25th. No details on how the game will play or if it’ll have a sensor to measure your heart beat like that other Konami love sim arcade game.

See: Kevin Butler at E3
Today I was wondering why the gaming threads on 2ch were talking about some things that Kevin Butler said at E3 which I don’t remember at all. Then I realized that Impress AV watch had quoted Kevin Butler saying the following:
「ひきこもりでも大画面があれば楽しい。それこそが“ゲーミング”。夜中にゲームをクリアーし、トロフィーをゲット！ でもそれになんの価値もない。それこそが“ゲーミング”。楽しいじゃないか! 友達が素敵な彼女を作ったって? 大丈夫、君は負け組じゃない。ほら、”ゲーミング”があるじゃないか!」
Translation:
Even if you’re a hikikomori it’s fun as long as you have a large screen. That’s “gaming”. You completed the game in the middle of the night and got your trophy! But there’s no value in that. That’s “gaming”. That’s fun!
Your friend got an awesome girlfriend? That’s fine, you’re not a loser. You’ve got “gaming”!
Sure don’t remember him saying anything like that in the vid!

I don’t know if Neptune is supposed to represent an existing hardware or if she’s a new original character, but I sure hope she’s supposed to be the Sega Neptune.
From the French Bread blog
I’ll be announcing this on the homepage over the next days, but we’ll be recruiting people that can help with art for our next project.
We’ll be looking for anybody that likes 2D fighting games and likes drawing, and plans to go into the industry in the future or is already currently working in the industry. The character size will be pretty big, so it pretty much doesn’t feel like pixel art anymore, but it’s not done and coloured in photoshop either, I’m not sure how to explain it.
We’ll welcome people that are able to draw to a reasonably well and are motivated, even if they don’t have any prior experience. We’re currently aiming to have the game released in the arcades first (as opposed to release as doujin game before hitting arcades). People who are interested please send an email to French Bread ;; Somebody help us! Lets beat that hateful Blazblue together!
Looks like they really are going into high res sprites now!
They’re actually going to sell this as a full priced game at 7,329 yen (US$79). There will be a limited edition version of the game that comes with a nendoroid and will sell for 11,529 yen (US$124).

I guess they could have done this on the DS.. also it’s being developed by Gulti.

It was posted here but it has since been removed.
