Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Collector’s Edition For Europe

Namco Bandai Games UK recently tweeted two pictures which showed the contents for the different collector’s editions of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. Online retailer Amazon will carry the “Will of Fire” edition while Zavvi will have their own version, which is named “True Despair”.

Seeing Spike from Ape Escape hula hoop into Dante from DMC is the kind of wackiness you’ll see in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. However, Sony’s mascot fighting game was a capture the flag game two years ago.

"Eventually [SCEA] decided on a PlayStation All-Stars type game – a broad concept of let’s take all of these great PlayStation characters and PlayStation universes and bring them together into a single game. And then it became a question of what kind of game do we want to bring these characters in," said Omar Kendall, Lead Game Designer at SuperBot Entertainment, to Siliconera. I asked Kendall about SuperBot’s origins and what other game concepts they had in mind other than a fighting game.

"There were all sorts of little gameplay demos and prototypes. When I talk about the last version of the game before we settled on the current incarnation was this 4v4 capture the flag kind of game. It was a class based game where you had fast runners who were good at capturing the flag and taking the flag back to base. You had defensive dudes. We were taking PlayStation characters and using them like archetypes," Kendall answered.

Just five months after The Little Battlers eXperience launched in Japan, Level-5 released an improved version called The Little Battlers eXperience Boost. Then The Little Battlers eXperience Explosive Boost came out on 3DS eight months later.

Ah, perhaps fans are waiting for The Little Battlers W Boost. That could explain the low sell through rate for the PSP/Vita sequel.

It's been a while since we've heard from Negiman, the leek shaped who hero fights to save Tottori Prefecture and maybe the world! But, a year to the month later, the GAINAX (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, FLCL, Gunbuster, Medaka Box) co-produced independent tokusatsu film star is back!

"Negiman" is produced by the former staff of the legendary DAICON FILM and the present members of GAINAX. The director of "Negiman", Takami Akai directed the DAICON's last film "The Return of Yamatano-Orochi" in 1984.

Tamashii Nations 2012: D-Arts Exhibiton

Yes another surprising reveal from the Tamashii Nations 5th Anniversary event, this time it's D-Arts White Knight Chronicles! The White Knight Chronicles games on PS3 received mixed reviews. However what attracted many to the RPG's in the 1st place were the knights themselves! So if you dug the designs and thought articulated action figures of them would never be made, Tamashii has just granted your wish!

On display now at Tamashii Nations 5th is the D-Arts Hakumen figure from BlazBlue! It doens't appear to be articulated, so we aren't sure if it's a D-Arts/Figuarts ZERO prototype, or meant to have articulation cut in later for the regular D-Arts line. Nonetheless, hurray, D-Arts BlazBlue!
