Tecmo Koei’s Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice Of Arland, the latest in the long running line of JRPGs, hits the PSN Store in Europe today for the PS Vita exclusively. The game is a port of the PlayStation 3 title Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice Of Arland, which Tecmo Koei describes as a ‘fan favorite.’

To spur people into getting the game early, a bonus costume pack will be made available as DLC for a very limited time.

Atelier Meruru is the third and final game in the Arland saga. The PlayStation Vita version of the game includes brand new costumes, an all new ending, powered up, tougher boss battles, all the DLC from the PS3 version, new illustrations, expanded gallery features and PS Vita exclusive touch pad functionality. Additionally, save data from the previously released PlayStation Vita game Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland can be used to unlock bonus items in this game.

The title releases exclusively in Europe, and only on the PSN Store.

Tecmo Koei Releases Videos For Toukiden, Dynasty Warriors 8, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z And More

If you believe or not, Tecmo Koei are one publisher that are churning out one quality title after another and at E3 they were doing just that. They have released brand new information on several of their upcoming games like Toukiden, Dynasty Warriors 8, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, and Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland.

Toukiden feels a bit like Soul Sacrifice and is developed by the team that created Dynasty Warriors. The game is exclusively coming on the PlayStation Vita later this year. Check out some screens and the E3 video below.

Dynasty Warriors 8 features new enhancements to story mode, new scenarios, an all-new ambition mode, new and returning characters. I never quite understood this series but the fans seems to be loving it (We are on the 7th sequel!).

When you have a legendary producer in Keiji Inafune and a talented team looking after Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z:, things cannot go wrong. This different take on the Ninja Gaiden franchise pits a cyber ninja against zombies. The game releases next year on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland adds new elements of land development to the RPG and simulation game system, providing additional depth and gameplay in this anime-style adventure.

Tecmo Koei has announced its lineup for the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2013, and will feature some big name games based on popular franchises, with a few new IPs also to debut.

The biggest would be Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, developed by Team Ninja alongside comcept and Keiji Inafune, which will present a cel-shaded zombie hack and slash experience with a cybernetic ninja protagonist (so essentially Ninja Gaiden on crack). So far, Yaiba is scheduled to release in early 2014 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate will also be showcased alongside Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland, Dynasty Warriors 8 and Toukiden. It has also confirmed DOA 5 Ultimate for release on September 6th for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Another interesting title is Toukiden, developed by the Dynasty Warriors team that will focus on a demon slayer in an ancient, fantasy Japan setting. Key figures from Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja will also be present during the convention.
