Didn’t follow Bleach: Soul Carnival 2 close enough to know what are the new stuff in Sony’s side-scrolling action game based on the popular series. But if you played the first game, these 80+ screens should tell you what are the upgrades. Three more days to go before its simultaneous UMD and PSN release in Japan. There’s an Asia version which Play-Asia says is in English, which I am pretty sure it’s a typo since none of the Bleach games on PSP have been translated so far. If anything, it should be Chinese since the first game also came in that language.

I posted the screens to the profiles page, view it here.

Bleach fans will recognize Neliel, Aaroniero and Dordoni in this latest Shonen Jump (click for large view) scan for Bleach: Soul Carnival 2, which will be out in Japan next month. Also shown are the heavily expanded accessory shop which allows players to increase the characters’ abilities. Play-Asia has the game available for pre-order at $48.90.

Sony opens the official website of Bleach: Soul Carnival 2 with this short trailer which shows us glimpse of the CG (of which there will be plenty from the TV series) and “High Speed Action” gameplays.

First shown in Bleach: Heat The Soul 6, SCEJ has now officially announced Bleach: Soul Carnival 2 for PSP this winter in Japan based on scan of the latest issue of Shonen Jump. However, not much details are being revealed about the side-scrolling action game featuring super-deformed version of Bleach characters but new super huge enemy and new moves for your characters are confirmed. Click on the image above for larger view.

Bleach: Heat The Soul 6 owners should have know this already but here’s the first actual report of Bleach: Soul Carnival 2 in Shonen Jump (click for full view). A demo version of the side scrolling action game was included in the Japanese release of HTS6 last month.

Play-Asia added a bunch of new items to their PSP category yesterday. Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days will apparently come out in August for $34.90 only (should be $30 at Amazon then). Bleach fans who missed Bleach: Heat The Soul 5 might want to check out the budget re-release version, which is only $30 now. My only purchase from the update will be the recently announced Boku no Natsuyasumi 4: Seitouchi Shounen Tanteidan, Boku to Himitsu no Chizu, which will stay in Japan forever and is $49.90.

Update: Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days cover added, click for larger view.

Shonen Jump had their last report (click on image for full view) on Bleach: Heat The Soul 6 before the game went on sale this Thursday in Japan. More characters get announced and if you still have the save data of the previous games in your memory stick, they will each unlock a character for you. Also announced in the report is Bleach: Soul Carnival 2, sequel to the side-scrolling action game that features super-deformed version of the characters, only one tiny screen is shown, so will have to wait later for more detail. Also, this probably just made the decision for me to get the game :) It’s $54.90 at Play-Asia and $52.99 at YesAsia.

Update: New Story trailer added.
