Check out everything Destructoid did today After 17 years,Dragon Ballreturns to the big screen with a brand newZmovie entitledBattle of Gods. The film was announced last summer, but I can guarantee that unless you hit upDragon Ballfan sites hardcore, you were completely unaware, as was I until a few weeks ago. With the March 30 release date approaching, I’m getting psyched by re-watching the trailer and gathering as much info as I can, feeling slightly annoyed by Funimation’s silence on localization prospects....

Sorry America, no butt for you Nintendo has done a fantastic job supportingFire Emblem: Awakeningso far, withnew DLCdropping so frequently it’s hard to make time for it all. However it was yesterday’s map release that caught the eye ofNeoGAF board member YoshiRider123, who noted that a particular scene had been censored as compared to the original Japanese release.

It looks like it could be good for a lark....

Aliens Crucible: AnimationsfromDannyonVimeo. If ever a video was more perfectly timed to scorch a fanbase’s soul, it’s this one. In the fallout of theAliens: Colonial Marinesdebacle, demo footage of Obsidian’s cancelled Aliens role-playing game,Aliens: Crucible, has risen from obscurity.

With Gearbox’s “effort” falling way short of the mark, all hope for a great mainstreamAliensgame rests on the shoulders of Creative Assembly, and its as-yet unrevealed project....

But probably not the games you want Ah,Touhou Project. The hyper-popular series of bullet-hell shooters has long been a Holy Grail of sorts for non-PC-owning otaku, and the efforts to get games with theTouhoubrand on various consoles have been mighty indeed. Those efforts may bear their fruit this year, though, as the PS Vita and PS4 seem set to see a pair ofTouhoutitles released this year, in keeping with some plans announced by Japanese company Mediascape last December....

‘More than a man’ Aksys has released an incredibly brief teaser trailer for its upcoming action gameMagus, co-developed by Black Tower. I mean brief. There are more logos than footage. Magusis headed exclusively to PS3 early 2014. In it, you play as Magus, who looks more bland than a defaultSimscharacter. Apparently he is a god, just released from imprisonment, seeking revenge. Maybe he is the god of space marines. This looks very much not great....
