Lots of good stuff in Namco Bandai's early 2012 lineup photo

Namco Bandai has a lot of cool stuff lined up for the first half of 2012. We have here a handy list of what to expect and when to expect it from the Japanese publisher.

At the top of the list you'll find Soul Calibur V, which I've been enjoying quite a bit these past couple of days. It will be released on Feb 3.  Later next month you'll see all of their Vita titles drop, including Touch My Katamari, Ridge Racer and Shinobido 2: Tales of the Ninja. I'm fully ready for Tales of Graces F to drop on PS3 this summer.

There's a few that aren't dated yet. The Tekken game for Wii U is in the works, as is beautiful JRPG Ni No Kuni. Inversion isn't done yet?

Check out the full list after the jump. See anything you like?

Really would be stronger if you'd indicated these were PAL dates. Naturally some people are already confused...

Armored Core V is my most anticipated game on this list with Nino Kuni right behind it. I gotta say though that out of all the publishers in these industry, Namco Bandai are without a doubt the best.

Didn't know Tales of Graces F was delayed until this summer.

@Nic128: I don't think it is.

February 3rd would be a Friday, rather than Tues/Wednesday, so it sounds like this is the European Release list rather than the US one.

Tales oF Graces F is my most wanted game on that list!
"Enthusiasm"

cmon bamco localize more of your OWN IP first please!

still wishing for more bamco PS3 game localized (i am not gonna wish for psp stuff because it is to big of alist and will be very painful list because sheer amount of unlocalized stuffZ)

my wishlist for future localization:

-Gundam EXTREME Versus PS3
-Idolm@ster 2 PS3
-Tales of Xillia PS3
-2nd SRW OG PS3
-maybe Gundam senki and Gundam unicorn PS3 or that haruhi PS3 game will be nice too

bamco also announcing tokitowa imagepoochxVofanxSatelight PS3 JRPG for this one I hope bamco is not the one localizing instead they allow other publisher like NISA (like how they allow NISA localizing Ar Tonelico) to localize because that way more chance getting an artbook filled with VOFAN stuff + DUAL voice option :P

at least one piece musou already confirmed:P
