Support the mechanical troops with a new Steel Battalion shirt, a metal tribute to Castlevania, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 walks the runway in this week's Non-Gaming Game News.
Vomitron pays tribute to classic NES titles—through metal
It's not a surprise that there's a metal tribute to the first Castlevania, it's a surprise that there aren't more of them. Experimental metal act Vomitron kicks off ten years together with their track "Castlevania," which mixes in some of the themes from Kinuyo Yamashita and Satoe Terashima's score. The song is from their album No NES For the Wicked which has tracks made in homage to Double Dragon, and The Legend of Zelda II.
You can check out the rest of the album on Vomitron's page (album cover art NSFW).
SOVTT: Support Our Vertical Tank Troops with this Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor shirt
This just went up over at the Capcom store recently as part of a promo deal for the upcoming release of Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor for Kinect. If you're so inclined, you could get the shirt for $10 off if you preorder the game.
In other fashionable news...
If you've got a new Spring/Summer collection of menswear to show off, what better way to do it than by draping them over the characters from the 25-year-old RPG franchise? Yeah, I'm not sure what the thought processes are that led to Prada choosing the characters from Final Fantasy XIII-2 to virtually model the menswear line, but we'll get to see some of the cast from the game showing off the clothes in the April 12th issue of Arena Homme+.
Lightning, Noel, Snow, Sazh and Hope will get to strut their stuff in a 12-page spread featuring text by journalist/author Steven Poole who wrote Trigger Happy as well as contributing to EDGE.
