How about that new Xbox, eh? In case you've been hiding under a rock for the past three days, Microsoft announced its next home console, dubbed the "Xbox One". Equipped with a brand-new Kinect, a new controller, and a heavy l...

For a good while, I've been in the mood to play a new One Piece game that uses the same system as One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. Unfortunately, the sequels known as the One Piece: Unlimited Cruise games never ...

No, not the first Xbox, or the Xbox 360. The third of Microsoft's consoles has opted to dial down its numbering by three hundred fifty-nine while dialing up its hardware. And it's called the "Xbox One", which means that...

And who said it was a bad idea for Sony not to show the actual PlayStation 4 hardware at their initial announcement? Now they have something to talk about hours before Microsoft is due to announce its next Xbox, as well as s...

Well, right on the heels of Guilty Gear's glorious return, Arc System Works wants to let fans of its younger child, BlazBlue, aren't about to be left in the cold. But rather than a new BlazBlue game, Ranga-rockers and th...

Despite all the hype about bringing Earthbound Papas and Yoshitaka Amano on board, Compile Hearts' next PS3 RPG, Fairy Fencer F, looks exactly like all of their other games. I can't say I'm all that surprised, though I am a l...

Acquire has finally dropped the first gameplay trailer of its new PS Vita RPG MIND≒0 (a title that plays havoc with search engines and blogging software, I'll have you know), and I really hate to say this, but it ...

See that sweet scene up in the header? That's the frankly awesome-looking character-select menu from Dragon's Crown, a game worked on by Vanillaware and its lead artist George Kamitani. Cool menus like that don't come from ju...

It's only been a few long hours since Masoukishin 3 was leaked in Famitsu, and Namco Bandai has already uploaded the first trailer for Super Robot Wars OG Saga Masoukishin III: Pride of Justice. Overall, the full bodied robo...

It's saddening to admit that because of my age, the arcade boom in the west was long over before I was playing games. The idea of hanging out in a smoky room filled with bleeps and hums may not be too appealing to most people...

Listen up, people, there's a new game publishing company in town, and they intend to bring us new products that will put a big smile on our face! Anyways, that's what Jack Niida, Hiroko Kanazashi, and Nao Miyazawa intend...

There's no need to hurry, because the DenLiner is busy with unloading its new screenshots. As a word of warning, most of Kamen Rider Battride War's new images are shot in an unimpressive manner. Now don't get me wrong, I...

I am feel ashamed that I've never gotten the chance to go to the arcades like most people in my age group. Instead of hearing me whine about a great era that I missed out upon, let's rejoice over the idea that 100 Yen: The Ja...

You know how all those band anime or other performance/sports shows all have their protagonists listing their ambition as "Going to the Budokan"? It's a popular cliche, seeing as the Nippon Budokan is perhaps Japan's most ic...

I wasn't all that surprised when Atlus announced that they'd be giving the original Etrian Odyssey the remake treatment. Truth be told, I had been hearing rumbles and whispers that this might happen for quite some time. ...

Looks like the folks at Compile Heart aren't content with just making Neptunia games for the rest of their days. Their next big project, currently being called Galapagos RPG, is supposedly being designed for a different audi...

Oh, is it already time for another new Dragon's Crown trailer? Yup, looks like it. The hooded Elf gets the spotlight this round, with a minute long video displaying her acrobatic prowess. While she looks to be primarily a ra...

Every time I write something about the Neptunia franchise, I'm always a little bit taken aback by the fact that these games have made it this far. Having only played the first entry, I imagine they must be getting better wit...

Time to rejoice Atlus and Vanillaware fans, because Dragon's Crown has a release date! We knew the price ($49.99 on PS3, $39.99 on Vita), we knew the people (Vanillaware and Atlus, naturally), and now we know the time. I...

Devil Survivor Overclocked has certainly seen a rocky release here in Europe, finally landing in the laps of desperate Atlus fans well over a year after the rest of the world. What's more, the eventual launch was hampered wit...

Few, that was a close one. For a second, I was worried that the supporting Riders were only going to be AI characters in Kamen Rider Battride War. Thanks to this new trailer, players will be able control their favorite secon...

As a massive MegaTen fan, I find it my personal duty to inspect media tie-ins where available and determine if they're worth my time -- or anyone's. There's a great MegaTen track record already with the decent Persona: Trinit...

This slipped under Japanator's easily-distracted radar array last week - why, oh why did we hire cats to man the monitoring stations? - but it's pleasant to know either way: NIS America has, after a long enough del...
