No Gon, sorry

A group of hackers with plenty of time on their hands have discovered a slew of unannounced Tekken Tag Tournament 2 characters hidden on the fighter’s disc. Newcomers include Dr. Bosconovitch, former boss Unknown, a skinny version of Bob, the inappropriately dressed Miharu, Lilli’s butler Sebastian, and the stylish Violet. While...

What the...?

Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s elaborately named social network tie-in, World Tekken Federation, won’t cost you a penny to access – assuming you purchase a copy of the upcoming game. The online destination will allow you to link up your PlayStation Network account and peruse gameplay statistics in real-time. It’ll launch alongside...

All laid out

Namco Bandai has released a brand new Tekken Tag Tournament 2 trailer outlining the fighter’s various pre-order bonuses. If you’d rather not get distracted by the presenter’s sultry pout, the offers include two new characters, a Snoop Dogg stage, four exclusive music tracks, and a set of revealing costumes. The bonuses vary...

Excitement levels increasing...

Namco Bandai has released a new GamesCom trailer for Level 5 and Studio Ghibli's upcoming video game collaboration, Ni No Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch. Two demos of Ni No Kuni have been showing at this year's Gamescom: 'An Errand for Father Oak' and 'Eruption Interruption', the first of which Push Square was...

It's rather snazzy

Namco Bandai has released the opening cinematic for its upcoming PS3 brawler, Tekken Tag Tournament 2. While plots have never been the focal point of any beat 'em up, this video serves as a reminder for why we're fighting in the first place: to win the coveted Tekken Tag Tournament. The sequel's due out next month on PS3.

K.O.

Namco Bandai has revealed its first quarterly financial report, sadly showing the disappointing sales of their latest update of the Soulcalibur series. On the 30th June, Soulcalibur V's sales were reported to be standing at 1.38 million copies. Soulcalibur IV accumulated 2.3 million sales in eight months, a million more units than Soulcalibur...

Suits you, sir

If you’re not entirely sold on Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch’s uber-cool Wizard Edition, then perhaps you’ll be tempted by GameStop’s equally attractive steelbook. Simply pre-ordering the Level-5 RPG at the US mega retailer will reward you with the gorgeous box embedded to the right. Don’t fight it, you know you want...

Study hard

Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s training mode, Fight Lab, looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. In this short trailer, publisher Namco Bandai introduces a wealth of interesting ideas – including rampaging chickens, giants and dancing bears dressed as ballerinas. You really couldn’t make it up, could you?

Firing blanks

For a game all about precision, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 really is a rubbish shot. The shooter, which was originally due out in August, was pushed back until October earlier this month. But now it won’t see the light of day until January 15th 2013, distributor Namco Bandai has announced. UK marketing and PR director Lee Kirton...

Yup

It’s been a while since we last got a look at Namco Bandai’s Monster Hunter-inspired handheld sequel, God Eater 2. Many assumed that the title had switched platforms to Vita (or 3DS), but according to a feature in this week’s Famitsu magazine, it’s still in development for PSP. There have been a few changes since the game’s last...

Tekken Tag and Ni No Kuni Confirmed

The Eurogamer Expo, which happens to be the UK's biggest gaming festival, is just over two short months away. As the roster of playable games and events continues to expand, Namco Bandai fans have some news to celebrate, with confirmation that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will...

Stick it

Namco Bandai has released a larger shot of Hori's upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2 arcade stick. The peripheral will hit shelves on the 13th September, the same day as the game's release in Japan. It will retail for ¥14,800, which roughly translates to £122. Will you be picking one up?

Could it be magic?

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a JRPG from Level-5 and Studio Ghibli that, for those aware of the project, is undoubtedly one to watch. In fact, in our Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch preview we said that its 'beautiful art style, empowering soundtrack and colourful overworld make it one of the most exciting...

Pandas in speedos

Namco Bandai has announced that those who pre-order Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will receive the the 'Big Bikini Bundle' DLC package, which includes over 100 swimming costumes for your fighters to adorn. Series producer, Katsuhiro Harada, confirmed via his Twitter account that this will include all playable characters on the roster,...

Combo breaker

You’re never going to be this good at Tekken Tag Tournament 2. In addition to showing some lingering close-ups of the game’s cast, this brand new trailer focuses on some pretty outrageous combos. Sure, you can dream – but we doubt you'll be able to juggle Kuma for 15 seconds in real-life.

Staying relevant

Tekken honcho Katsuhiro Harada has not forgotten about Tekken X Street Fighter. Chatting with Eurogamer.net, the developer revealed that while the game is not currently in full production, it is being designed with current consoles in mind. He said: There are still a large number of players out there with a PlayStation 3 who are...

Ice queen

It's been four long years since Level-5 announced its Studio Ghibli collaboration project, Ni No Kuni, during an interview with Japanese Famitsu magazine. In the time since then, Namco Bandai has been working hard to bring it to North America and Europe. So how are things shaping up so far? It was expected that a partnership with Studio...

With boxing gloves, obviously

We could tell you about the four or so other characters Namco Bandai announced for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 this evening, but they all pale in comparison to Alex. The trailer below shows the often overlooked dinosaur kicking the stuffing out of Kuma. Honestly, that’s all you really need to know.

Are you sitting comfortably?

After some speculation, Namco Bandai has officially confirmed that it’s taking PlayStation 3 owners on a trip to the fantastical world of Rieze Maxia, as the hotly anticipated Tales of Xillia is finally set to journey overseas. The RPG – which released in Japan late last year – explores the escapades of Jude...
