Tekken 6 is coming bundled with an exclusive stick if you want to shell out $150

We must admit, they do look rather neat. The question is, what looks neater — hot Namco Bandai girls or hot Tekken sticks? We couldn't possibly choose. Thanks Joystiq for the photo.

Namco Bandai have just announced Majin: The Fallen Realm at GamesCom in Germany

The game from Game Republic is said to have a "Last Guardian feel". Majin is a gigantic beast with which a small thief must work alongside in order to solve puzzles. It's expected to release in Spring 2010. More when we know about it.

It's a little known fact to some readers, but we're pretty in love with Namco beat 'em ups

Now, we like all the beat 'em ups (even though we're a glutton for punishment), but we'll always have a special place for the Tekken and Soul Calibur franchise. So, you can imagine the yelps of joy emitted from our mouths when we see this wonderful looking little Soul Calibur Broken Destiny pack for Korea —..

Namco Bandai have started the hype train for their appearance at GamesCom in Cologne, Germany next week

Apparently they are bringing eight games, obviously including Tekken 6 and Katamari, plus some "major exclusive new announcements". Namco Bandai are penciled in for a show on Wednesday, August 19th, so we're guessing the announcements will be made then. Any hopes, dreams, wants? How..

Ahh Noby Noby Boy, the game that we just assumed everyone had downloaded to their PS3 because of the decent reviews and amount of coverage it gets

Sadly, seems like not everyone has been giving it to GIRL. Despite a potential 24 Million install base, Noby Noby Boy has gone on to sell just 100,000 copies. Perhaps that's a lot for a game that's about a worm eating people to add length to GIRL but, we..

This may be Tekken 6, but Paul Phoenix is still pulling those same moves from the original Tekken

Albeit with a better framerate.

This is so awesome but at the same time we feel terrible

We'd forgotten that Tekken 6 was coming to the PSP. But it's so awesome that it is. Because we'll be rocking some King on the train. Anyway, the handheld version of Namco's weapon-less brawler will have "pretty much everything [from the] console version," said PR man Arne Cual-Pedroso. Including DLC. Namco's Idolmaster features $100..

Katamari Forever launches in Japan tomorrow

And according to andriasang.com that's not the only thing. A demo for the anticipated game will hit the Japanese PSN store to commemorate the release (and hopefully push a few more sales). Remember, those of you who have, erm, "acquired" a Japanese PSN account can download the demo and get an early glimpse at the game.

Those of you hotly anticipating the once-XBOX 360 exclusive Tales Of Vesperia will be pleased to hear that a demo is hitting the Japanese Playstation Store this July 13th

There's no word on what the demo will offer. The game is scheduled to release this Fall.

Releasing in Japan on July 23, Katamari Forever - the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive - will be getting its very own soundtrack

It'll cost ¥3150 (USD$33) for the 2-disc set with 36 tracks. When the soundtrack includes chiptune, we think it might be worth an import.

This is the debut trailer for Namco Bandai's upcoming PSP title God Eater

It looks a lot like Monster Hunter to us. What about you guys?

Namco reckon that the traditions of unlocking characters in fighting games as you play them are now totally outdated

Speaking with Videogamer.com, director Katsuhiro Harada explained his reasoning:“Why we locked the characters originally was that in the arcades, it was kind of to extend the life of the game by gradually unlocking characters. And also with the home versions as well, because you can..

How do you make your Playstation 3 exclusive remake of a bizarro title even better? You  demake the music of course

Gone is Katamari's Japanese jazz and instead we have Katamari Forever's 8-bit chip-tune. We've embedded two videos in this post. Can you tell which music is from the remake?

Following the announcement of that wonderful Tekken 6 arcade stick bundle earlier this morning, we're sure there's little surprise that a good number of you have stuck in preorders for Namco Bandai's upcoming beat-em-up

But what date will the game be available for you to pick up? Namco Bandai say October 27th. Launching first in North America "with the European, Japanese and Asian release to..

Much like Street Fighter IV's themed fighting sticks, copies of Tekken 6 will be bundled with wireless Hori fighting sticks and an exclusive art book

The bundles will be available for $150 in the USA. No word on whether the bundle will make it to European shores. Namco Bandai also confirmed collaboration with webcomic Penny Arcade. The "Samurai" pack will include a playable Cardboard Tube..

You know what, Tekken has got to a point where its biggest hook is how ridiculous it is

So it totally makes sense to get female anime clothes designers working on the the latest iteration of the franchise, Tekken 6. In the above image, you'll note Jin wearing a wonderful white, erm, jacket-robe-type-thing. We're sure that's a term used in the fashion industry.

Already available in the Japan, Namco Museum Essentials is coming to North America this July

Including Pac-man, Galaga, Dig Dug, Dragon Spirit, Xevious, and a new 1080p "re-envisioned" Xevious: Resurrection, you'll be able to compete in leaderboards and earn Home rewards for good performances. Namco Bandai will also be launching a new destination within PlayStation Home simultaneously..

Here's a new trailer for Katamari Damacy Tribute

As you can see, there are sock puppets in it. We're really not sure there is anything else for us to say.

Former XBOX 360 exclusive Tales Of Vesperia has been dated for Japan on Playstation 3

The game features a new character and will retail for ¥7,800 (US$79) on September 17th.
