[Games] Chrono Trigger DS! (or better??)

ahhh my friend just showed me this! Square Enix has put up a page with a countdown of sorts (?) with a ticking clock in the style of the Chrono series’ clock that’s used for the “C” in Chrono. On the left side is the Nintendo DS logo. Popped on over to IGN to see an article on it, and they wonder if it’s a remake of Chrono Trigger possibly in 3D like what SE’s been doing with the FF series lately (probably the likely thing), but they also mention that a true sequel to Chrono Trigger may also be a possibility. Don’t really know much as of yet, so what “ctds” turns out to be will probably be announced at E3!

Update: It’s good ol’ Chrono Trigger with added dual screen/touch screen functionality, and a new dungeon? Also wireless play? Hmmm wonder what that’s all about. Performing tech attacks with a friend through wireless co-op? via IGN

 

[Games] Shura, Ashlotte and Setsuka screenshots

Have a look at some new in-game screenshots of the two new guest (?) characters Ashlotte (designed by Tenjou Tenge/Air Gear artist Oh! Great) and Shura (designed by Gantz/HEN artist Oku Hiroya). Setsuka also confirmed as a returning character.

 

 

 

 

 

[Games] Speed Racer vs…. Ryu?

Hmm well we don’t know yet, but it could happen! Kotaku has pointed out that Capcom will be making another cross over game a la Marvel vs. Capcom, but this time it’s with anime studio Tatsunoko, who brought to us the likes of Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Macross/Robotech, Casshern and Karas, among others.

 

 

 

 

[Games] Two more Soul Calibur 4 guest characters

Yay more new “guest” characters to be introduced into Soul Calibur 4. Announced within the past week are Ashlotte, a character designed by the awesome artist Oh! Great (of Tenjo Tenge and Air Gear fame, as well as a number of hentai mangas under his belt), and Shura, designed by Oku Hiroya (author and artist of Gantz and Hen mangas). I’ve read people complaining about how they will tie these new characters into the main SC4 storyline, if at all? I’ve heard the Soul series has one of the best stories in a fighting game, but I haven’t even played (extensively) any of the Soul games, though I’ve owned Soul Calibur 2 and 3. Personally I don’t really care. I think these guest characters are a fun idea, and as long as they are fun to play with, then all is well with me.

 

[Games] Sagat and M. Bison join in on the SFIV fun

So I guess I wasn’t too late to the party when I posted back about Vega and Balrog making the SF4 roster. I’d written then that I wasn’t sure whether any of the other “Four Kings” (the main four bosses of the original SF2) had made the cut since I hadn’t been keeping up with it closely, though there was no doubt that they’d be in there for sure. Well here’s definite confirmation now, as these shots show. It seems from various places that the release date for this is sometime in mid summer. Good stuff! More shots after the jump.

 

 

[Games] Cross Edge - RPG collaboration inspired by wet dreams

Saw this via Kotaku, coming this September for the PS3 is an RPG developed by a collaboration of six of the biggest names in gaming on the other side of the Pacific. The game is called Cross Edge (X Edge), and it’s being developed jointly between Capcom, Bandai Namco, Nippon Ichi Software, Gust and Idea Factory with lead development being handled by Compile Heart (who made Agarest Senki for the PS3). As such, the game will feature characters from each of the developers’ biggest games including Darkstalkers/Vampire Hunter, Ar Tonelico, Disgaea, Spectral Souls, Mana Khemia 2 and Atelier Marie, with possibly more to come.

 

 

[Games] Balrog/M. Bison & Vega/Balrog in SFIV

Say what now? lol Oh right Japanese and International character names were changed around (just for those who didn’t know). Just saw this over at Hobby Channel, but it seems a couple of new (old) additions have been made to Street Fighter IV. Two of the original four bosses in the Street Fighter II series (nicknamed the Big Four; Literally “The Four Heavenly Kings” in japanese) Balrog and Vega (M. Bison and Balrog in Japanese version) will be making an appearance in the game. I dunno what new characters have been added since the last time I wrote something about SF4, so I dunno what the count is at now, but of course the more characters the better. I think they need to add more new and original characters though. I also don’t know if the other two bosses Sagat and M. Bison (Sagat and Vega in the Japanese version) have or will be announced yet, but I think if Balrog and Vega are in, they should be following soon after. Some screenshots after jump.

 

[Ero] Otome Function lookin good

[Games] Angol Fear comes to town

Well here’s a bit of interesting news. A recent announcement for more new appearing characters (not necessarily brand new) in the Soul Calibur IV universe comes word that a brand new character guest designed by Yoshizaki Mine, will be making her debut. Her name is Angol Fear, and she is some kind of cousin to Angol Mois, from the anime and manga series Keroro Gunsou (Sergeant Keroro), by the same artist.
