Famitsu is the place to go if you want play the demo version of God Eater now. The 140Mb demo include a tutorial and five missions with data transferable to the actual game when it’s released next February in Japan. Click here and scroll to the middle of the page (click on the link in the blue box) to get the demo.

Kshatriya, Providence Gundam, Apsalus and Dendrobium are the new Mobile Suits being revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu for Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next Plus. Game is looking more and more awesome :) Play-Asia now has the Asia version $10 cheaper at $54.90.

So this is what SCEJ has been teasing for in the last few days, 1 Million Ton’s Bara Bara (not sure about the title :) is another quirky looking title from Acquire (who did Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman: What Did I Do to Deserve This? with Rideon). The game requires players to “attack huge battleships and destroy it piece by piece” according to summary posted by the Japanese blogs. The visuals look fantastic, as shown in the countdown site.

I missed this one in the content listing but another new game that get announced in the upcoming Weekly Famitsu is Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid 2 (the first game is called Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce in the US, screen above). Not much details at this moment but the game will apparently comes with support for Infrastructure Mode, new monsters and an “Overdrive System”. No release date is given but I am guessing Spring 2010, the same time when the first game came out earlier this year (to great reception in Japan).

This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu shows The Eye of Judgement: Shintaku no Wizard (The Eye of Judgement: Wizard of Oracle?) among the content list. Got pretty excited for the PS3 version but didn’t buy it, hope to check this out when it came out. The genre listed is obviously TCG (Trading Card Game), more information when they become available. Plenty of other PSP games listed in the content but most of them strategy guides for recently released games.

Update: The game will be out in March 2010 and you can expect a demo soon.

Square Enix reveals the design for the special edition PSP-3000 that will be bundled with Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep when it’s out in Japan this January. What do you think? Simple and nice for me. The bundle will cost ¥ 22,000 in Japan. Play-Asia currently have the game itself available for pre-order at $59.90.

The latest Shonen Jump (click on image for large view) reveals that three of the character in The Six Paths of Pain are playable for Naruto Shippuuden: Narutimate Accel 3, with the rest playing the support role. Again, the release date is December 10th in Japan. Play-Asia also has the Asia version for $5 cheaper ($49.90).

Things are getting more and more competitive at the top as we drew near to the holiday season. Only Persona 3 Portable managed to stay at the Top 10 for PSP this week, with an impressive number of more than 46,000 copies sold. The PS3 version of World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010 took the top spot this week, will be interesting to see how the PSP version, which has been doing well before, do when it came out this December.

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.

Plenty of updates to the Senjou no Valkyria 2 (aka Valkyria Chronicles 2) official website, including videos of the original game’s main character, Welkin, Alicia and Cordelia. More videos after the jump, such as gameplay videos showing the BLiTZ System, which Sega says is now “seamless”. I still find it weird that soldier continue to shoot at empty air even after the enemy is dead…
