The Pickford Brothers said this morning additional content for Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint was on its way. In addition to content and game modes already available to buy in-app, more content will drop “in the coming months.” This is to celebrate the fact that the game, which is free-to-play, has now hit 100 five-star reviews, as well as other critical success in other countries’ app stores. You can buy it from iTunes for either iPhone or iPad here.

Capcom has announced Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition will get a Version 2012 update. No more details were given other than more will be coming soon, and that it will be playable in major Japanese cities by the end of the summer. To be clear, it isn’t a new edition of SFIV, just an update. We’re pretty sure we heard producer Yoshinori Ono say at EVO overnight there’d be an update due sometime between autumn and winter that will help balance the game. This is probably it.

Thanks, Andriasang.

From Software’s announced in Japan that it’s to delay Armored Core V into January 2012 from a previously-confirmed October launch.

AC5 was already down for a 2012 launch in the west by its publisher Namco Bandai.

Thanks, Andriasang.
