Dungeon crawler MIND≒0 (said “Mind Zero”, looking at the Japanese) is headed to Vita on August 1. Siliconera reports the RPG is a collaboration between Class of Heroes developer ZeroDiv and Acquire. Although it’s only been confirmed for Japanese release, it’s notable because it’s the first Acquire game to release since the Way of the Samurai and Sumiomi developer was snapped up by GungHo last year. GungHo also recently picked up Grasshopper Manufacture because it has about a gazillion bucks.

Mind Zero developer Acquire is up next in this week’s issue of Famitsu. The mag has published some chunky character art and one – count them – gameplay screen. The characters seem new though so that’s something to get excited about if you’re keen on the game.

Acquire’s action epic, Way of the Samurai 4, has finally been confirmed for a long-awaited US release. XSEED will deliver via the PlayStation Network on August 4 for $40, according to Destructoid. This latest entry in the franchise has some neat elements; it’s open world; it has online versus multiplayer; it allows for character customisation; and you can even populate the world with AI-controlled custom enemies. We’re expecting it in Europe in October, thanks to Rising Star.

This trailer probably won’t win any prizes for communication, but rhythm action strategy hybrid Orgarhythm has my vote for most beautiful promo of the year so far.
