Right after giving us a launch window for the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Bandai Namco also unveiled the release date for the fourth (and possibly final) DLC pack -- June 27. New costumes and characters are in (Fused...   read

We shared the news that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 would arrive on the Switch later in 2017 (almost a full year after the original launch), but now by way of the official site we have a more technical breakdown of what to expect from this...   read

There are several Dragon Ball Z characters I automatically assumed would be added to Arc System Works' Dragon Ball FighterZ, one of the greatest visual treats of all time, but it's good to get confirmation of certain key players.  The ...   read

I was a bit dismissive with my last post about Ace Combat 7. The trailer released for E3 was pretty bad, in my defense, but I jumped to some conclusions based on having only played a small selection of the previous titles (6 and Assault Hor...   read

Back before SAO was the talk of the town, there was .hack. All the way back in the early 2000s this PS2 era RPG series leveraged the MMO angle all the way to the bank as Bandai gave us an anime and four games to consume. Along with the Squa...   read

The jaw-dropping Dragon Ball FighterZ (it's good!) from Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue) is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC in "early 2018." It may also come to Nintendo Switch, but if it does, it'll come late. And only if fans dema...   read

Years back, and I mean around five years ago, Capcom and Bandai Namco teamed up for Street Fighter X Tekken. Despite not hitting sales goals the two firms seemed to enjoy their partnership, including the announcement of Tekken X Street Figh...   read

While I haven't played anything from Arc System Works since 2012's Persona 4 Arena and haven't watched a full episode of Dragon Ball Z since VHS was the go-to home video format, I was immediately jazzed for Dragon Ball FighterZ. Some of it ...   read

E3 '17 may be going on as we speak, but that isn't stopping companies from making announcements outside of the event. Speaking of which, Bandai Namco revealed that the .hack//G.U. trilogy, the second PS2 game series in the fr...   read

Start saving up for an impromptu trip to Tokyo. On July 14th Bandai-Namco is opening Japan's largest virtual reality arcade ever, located near the red light district in Shinjuku. They're building new attractions on top of their sold-out VR ...   read

Not content with not just one, but two DLC mobile suits announced  before the launch of Gundam Versus in Japan, Namco Bandai has revealed a third, and oh boy it's a doozy. Gundam Virtue and its pilot Tieria Verde, one of the four main ...   read

Lots of information has trickled out slowly over the last couple of years since Ni No Kuni II: The Revenant Kingdom was announced, but the last piece of the puzzle was an exact release date. Now we know that it will be out in time for ...   read

Between the large inscrutable monsters and the ruined post-apocalyptic landscape, Bandai Namco's Code Vein reminds me of the first Nier (post-apocalyptic world populated by people who are involved with some kind of crazy "kee...   read

Watch the Dragon Ball Z Fighter trailer again. And again! Arc System Works is doing a 2.5D Dragon Ball Z fighting game and hot dang does it look good. Like, "What you imagine in your mind's eye when you think DBZ fighter" good. Dragon ...   read

Does anyone really care what happens in an Ace Combat game? I know there has to be at least one person that is sincerely invested in the plight facing the protagonists of each entry, but I've never been able to even understand what is going...   read

Bandai Namco has announced a new fighting game based off of the Dragon Ball series titled Dragon Ball Fighters. The game will be released worldwide in early 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and is being developed by Arc System Works...   read

Fans of realistic racing sim Project CARS will be happy to hear that its sequel, the creatively named Project CARS 2, will be releasing worldwide on September 22 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. To commemorate the announcement, publisher Bandai Na...   read

Crazy armor designs are my favorite staple of the fantasy genre, so of course I had to post about Gecco's upcoming Siegmeyer figure. I haven't played Dark Souls so I can only assume he is a very fat man inside that fat suit of armor. It hon...   read

Little Nightmares was the best horror experience I've had since P.T. (I haven't played Resident Evil 7 yet to be fair), and I absolutely love watching people play through it for the first time on YouTube. It was short, but I put m...   read

Pokken DX was announced yesterday, slowly chipping away in part at the legacy of the Wii U, but one question was on all our minds -- what about that wacky Pokken controller that was modeled after the one used in Japanese arcades? ...   read

I mean, I put out a wide array of predictions in this post, but given that Nintendo (along with Bandai Namco in this case) is basically pulling out all the stops to erase any Wii U exclusive from existence, this one made perfect sense....   read

Some inquisitive gamers have done a bit of digging through the files on the PC version of Tekken 7 and found a list of potential DLC packs. The absence of Tekken Bowl is going to make a lot of sense now, especially since it is seemingly sch...   read

Tekken is probably my most on-again, off-again fighting game series. I played the first three and Tag relentlessly, but fell off somewhere around Tekken 4, occasionally popping in to see what crazy character entered the fray next,...   read

After over a year of silence, City Shrouded in Shadow has risen from the depths of potential cancellation to reveal new details and a release date in this week's issue of Famitsu. When the game was last heard from, it was in development for...   read

Little Witch Academia is a name I keep seeing pop up on my Twitter feed as an example of an enjoyable anime available on Netflix. It's on my list of things to watch once I actually restart my subscription, something I should probably d...   read
