Following its debut in Japan this past February, the PS4 version of Nier: Automata launched in North America and Europe on March 7 and March 10, respectively, which was followed by the PC version on March 17.

Fire Emblem Warriors Will Feature New, Twin Protagonists
Fire Emblem Warriors will follow original twin protagonists named Shion and Lian.
The new, blonde heroes will join Chrom and Marth, according to Weekly Famitsu (via Gematsu). Fire Emblem Warriors will reportedly focus on playable characters from Fire Emblems Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates.
The series' weapon triangle will be present in Fire Emblem Warriors as well. That means, for instance, a swordsman will deal more damage to an axe-wielder, while an axe-wielder deals more damage to a lancer.

A Visual History of Wonder Woman’s Costumes
Wonder Woman is one of the most iconic heroes in comics, and it doesn't hurt that she also has one of the most distinctive superhero costumes. But even so, her look has evolved quite a bit over the years as she's made the jump from comics to TV to film and her general role within the DCU has evolved.
With Gal Gadot's Diana Prince taking the spotlight in the new Wonder Woman movie, we thought it would be fun to break down the evolution of Wonder Woman's costume, ranging from her Golden Age debut to her most recent adventures. Click right on the gallery below to see for yourself.
It's shaping up to be a very good year for Wonder Woman. Early buzz indicates that the new movie is the best of the DC Extended Universe to date, and we'll see Gal Gadot's WW in action again in November's Justice League
PlayStation 3 Has Ceased Production
Production of the PlayStation 3 has seemingly ended in Japan.
Gematsu reports the official PlayStation website page for the 500GB version, the only model currently that was in production in Japan, lists shipments now as “Ended.” We have contacted Sony for official comment.
The PlayStation 3 originally released in Japan on November 11, 2006, and in North America on November 17 (PAL territories saw the system launch on March 23, 2007). The launch also saw Sony playing catch up to Microsoft’s Xbox 360, which released a year prior on November 22, 2005.
