Namco begins its promotion for God Eater with this 15 seconds TV commercial. The game will only be out February in Japan but you can check out the demo now.

Great start for DSi LL with more than 100,000 units sold on its first week, which also saw the return of Pokemon and Tomodachi Collection to the top two spots. PSP holds up quite well though, selling more than 30,000 units but the same cannot be said of PSP go, which continues its free fall to only around 6,000 units. Armored Core Silent Line Portable is the best PSP debut this week with around 18,000 copies sold.

Note: Charts will be updated with more figures when they become available, view the Top 10 after the jump, ranking in full can be view here.

Set in a high school this time (though you still gets to take the girls to shopping malls nearby…), Kenka Bancho 4 features an arrogant Yuta whose sole purpose of entering the school is to beat Akutsu, the most feared and respected gangster around. But time is not on Yuta’s side as Akutsu is about to graduate in a year’s time and he must battles hundreds of gangster wannabes before the final showdown. Publisher Spike announced on the official website today that the fight will starts on February 25th in Japan.

Things are certainly not well between supporters of Sabakuha and Tobaku as shown in the latest trailer of From Software’s latest port for PSP, Fu-un Shinsengumi: Bakumatsu-den Portable. The game with it’s character designed by MGS designer Yoji Shinkawa will be out early next month in Japan.

If you haven’t been following Senjou no Valkyria 2 (aka Valkyria Chronicles 2), this trailer should give a better picture of what the game is about. Otherwise check out the video about the crazy powerful artificial Valkyrias after the jump, some tough battles ahead folks :) The release date is January 21st in Japan.

Next Thursday will see three big PSP releases (not as big as New Super Mario Bros. Wii obviously :) and Weekly Famitsu has given their verdicts of the games. Both Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next Plus are equally good according to them, as the panel gave them an impressive 34/40. PSP2 get an extra 1 point compare to the first game while Gundam vs. Gundam is 2 points better than the original. Fans of Tokimeki Memorial 4 (screen above) will be pleased to know that the game receives 33/40 from the four, who also gave Mario’s latest adventure on the Wii a perfect 40/40.

Cyberconnect2’s long in development ARPG .hack//Link gets a two-page feature in the latest Weekly Famitsu with news of its final release date, which is March 24th in Japan now, a small delay from the original February release. Besides information on the pre-order gift and collector edition, the good news for us is that we can check the game out tomorrow, as the demo will be made available at the official website (12pm Japan time).

The next company to give its series the 3D fighting treatments is Falcom, who is set to announce Ys Vs Sora no Kiseki this week based on early leaks of the latest issue of DengekiPlayStation. As the title suggests, the game will features characters from two of the company most popular series, those confirmed so far appeared to be Adol, Dogi (screen with them in Ys Seven above) and Olha for Ys with Joshua, Tita and Estelle representing Sora no Kiseki. They will be featured in the story mode and up to four characters can join a battle. The game will come out sometime next year in Japan.

Falcom latest loves for PSP doesn’t ends there as the company also announce the port of Ys: The Oath in Felghana to our system next April. Hope both of them will come to US eventually but at this moment, I will be happy to see both Ys I&II Chronicles and Ys Seven get translated.
