Narisokonai Eiyuutan: Taiyou to Tsuki no Monogatari

That’s a nice scene for Narisokonai Eiyuutan: Taiyou to Tsuki no Monogatari there (not really sure, but should be something like Story of a Failed Hero: A Tale of Sun and Moon). It’s Irem’s new RPG for the PSP which got announced in last week’s Weekly Famitsu. Still has very little idea about the story, will surely come back to this once I have more info.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Not exactly new but here are the screens that Square Enix willing to release for Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. VideogamerX have what appears to be a cam recorded gameplay here. With Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on the DSi set for February, I am going to make a wild guess that we’ll get Birth by Sleep in September :)

Update: IGN has the single player gameplay footage here.

Ken To Mahou To Gakuen Mono

Ken To Mahou To Gakuen Mono was out almost four months ago but that didn’t stop Acquire from bringing it to their TGS booth. Check out this amazing looking giant poster (click on the image for full size view). Despite poor Famitsu review, the game still sold more than 30,000 copies and I think we might see a sequel soon.
