You won’t find many of the finer things Sony announced for their press conferences because, quite frankly, it’s nothing.
Quite surprising when you consider that they had two press conferences.
Announcements
This Tokyo Game Show 2008 story trailer of Level 5′s White Knight Chronicle manages stir interest and excitement for the game. Well, for me anyways. The screenshots and the other videos were alright, but it was this well crafted trailer which did it for me. The PS3 could sure use a solid JRPG like this.
Japanese PS3 owners get to pick this title up on this upcoming Christmas day. The rest of the world will have to wait.
Not a lot of brand new, super fantastic reveals, but a fair bit of impressions and info popped up. If you noticed, there are a lot of fighting game related tidbits below and that’s somewhat on purpose. There was just a lot of talk, info and media of the upcoming fighting games.
As always, more stuff will be tacked on as I find them.
A lot of stuff was released after North America went to bed and throughout today. From Patapon 2′s Engrish demonstration to the unorthodox Noby Noby Boy trailer. My personal favorite: the KOFXII footage. So good.
So check out the collection of the day.
This week’s Famitsu magazine was quite informative. An anticipated fighter gets a release date,
Tatsunoko vs Capcom – December 11th – Nintendo Wii
Really?! For the Wii? I presume it will support Classic Controllers, but what about GameCube controllers? And what about the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions? I know the Wii is selling like rice over there, but c’mon!
White Knight Chronicles: Pulse of the Ancients – December 25th – PlayStation 3
Finally! WKC has a release date. Even if it’s just for Japan.
Level 5′s White Knight Chronicles was first seen over two years ago and it was quite impressive then. However, I don’t know much about it. In fact, all I know is that boasts huge armored mechs, it’s a JRPG and it’s coming exclusively for the PS3. It’s not my fault either, it’s just that Level 5 and Sony have been very hush hush about this title.
Monster Hunter 3 Playable At TGS
The Monster Hunter series is huge in Japan. It sells PSPs like how Wii Sports sold/sells Wii’s in America. Me? I never played a single game from this Japanese loved franchise. I guess fans will be glad to know that the third Wii exclusive installment of Monster Hunter will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later next month.
