Game software maker Sammy Co. has announced through Enterbrain Inc.'s Famitsu magazine that their popular fighting game sequel, Guilty Gear XX is scheduled for release on the PlayStation2. No details are given on the port.

The title is scheduled for release in Winter of 2002.

(Yomiuri News) Japanese manga Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's artist Hikaru Shimabukuro- known for his popular series "Seikimatsu Leader Takeshi", was arrested today under charges of engaging in underage solocitation.

Shimabukuro is suspected of his conduct on November 12th of last year with a 16 year old high school student at a hotel in Yokohama city, paying 80,000 Yen (approximately 800 dollars) for the act. Shimabukuro met the girl through an online dating site with his cellular phone, faking his name and pretending to be a computer specialist.

While the author's site is currently still available, his Profile page has been changed to a dog drawing. An archive of his portrait is available Here. (Warning: While not pornographic, the photo contains explicit material.)

I haven't been checking Final Fantasy:Unlimited's site since the series ended, but apparently, they're still updating. Not only does the site have 2 new wallpapers, but a new online novel depicting the story after the past chapter is about to start. So if you're interested, check out the site.
