Konami releases DANCE aROUND, the successor to its former dance game DanceEvolution, today. DANCE aROUND uses a pair of cameras to track the player's movements and compare them to those of the avatar. The game displays special markers that tell players to repeat the previous action or perform a mirror position. There are three game modes: Training (you can play for six minutes without a song limit), Light (you can play two songs with the first one up to LEVEL 6) and Normal (you can play two songs without LEVEL limit and if you pass both songs and your total score exceeds 200 points, you can go to the EXTRA stage). You can also choose between two different avatar styles, which are displayed during the game. In the NORMAL style, the avatar on the screen dances as it is modelled. Beginners can therefore easily have fun dancing by simply imitating the avatar's movements. The Performance style is for those who want to move freely with their own original choreography. Only the player's arm and leg tracks are displayed in the centre of the screen, and the avatar reflects the player's movements in real time in the preview window. Unlike DanceEvolution, which used realistic avatars, the avatars in DANCE aROUND are anime-style characters.

Announced in January 2021 and postponed several times to meet the demands of players, Gundam Arsenal Base is finally released today. It is already available in some game centres since February 17th. Gundam Arsenal Base is a game from Bandai's card game division. This is an RTS in which the player commands a unit of 5 mobile suit in order to destroy the mothership of his opponent. At the beginning of the game, MS and pilot cards can be purchased. The MS and pilot cards are inserted in 2 rows in the dedicated slots on the control panel with the MS on top and the pilot below. They are classified into 4 categories: Common, Rare, Master Rare and Perfect Rare. The player uses a touch screen to give orders, he does not directly control the MS so he has to build his team intelligently and get MS out of the base at the right time. The player has to take into account the type of pilot chosen and the abilities of the MS. There are three types of pilots: "annihilation" (priority to the attack), "suppression" (priority to the mothership and the base) and "defense" (priority to the base). There are also 3 types of MS: "short distance" (good for close combat), "long distance" (which allows to fight at distance) and "mobility" (which allows to move quickly). In addition, MS can use "abilities" and the extra super skill "tactical" skill when the "SP" gauge is full. In summary, the target is determined by the pilot and the type of attack by the MS. When the player creates his deck he has to think about the launch cost of each MS because if he only takes MS and pilots that cost too much, he may end up in a situation where he cannot get his MS out. SEASON:01 includes cards from the following series: Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Mobile Suit Gundam UC, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded OrphansGundam Build Divers Re:RISE. Maps from other series will be added in future seasons.
