NIS America bringing Neptunia MK-II, Clan of Champions, Disgaea 3 Vita, more to US
NIS America hosted a special press event at the Tokyo Game Show to announce a slew of new titles for the PS3, Xbox 360, Vita and mobile platforms.
First up, the publisher will be bringing Disgaea: Netherworld Unbound to Android devices in late 2011. It is basically an Android version of the original Disgaea game, but it also allows players to purchase extra characters, items, and features. The Disgaea series will be coming to another handheld device as well, the PlayStation Vita. Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention will arrive in Spring 2012 and is said to feature new characters, stories, items and a Vita-specific control scheme.
NIS is also teaming up with Keiji Inafune, creator of Mega Man, and Acquire, the developers of Tenchu, to bring Neptunia MK-II and Clan of Champions to the US. Neptunia will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, set for release in spring 2012. Clan of Champions, as it is tentatively titled, has no release date yet, but it will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. JRPG aficionados, REJOICE!

New Releases: Gears of War 3, Persona 2, Kirby Mass Attack, More
Are you ready to finish the fight with the Locust and the Lambent? I hope so because Microsoft and Epic Games plan to release Gears of War 3 in three different configurations this week: a standard edition, a Limited Edition and a $150 Epic Edition. A Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 console bundle is also on the schedule.
Atlus is making a different hugely anticipated game available this week with Shin Megami Tensei Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP. Innocent Sin was originally released on the PSone in Japan, but has never made it to America until now.
Rounding out this week’s big releases is a pair of DS games: the crazy platforming of Kirby: Mass Attack and and monster-raising of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2.
Check out the full list of the rest of this week’s new releases after the break. (more…)

Mortal Kombat becomes best-selling game in series history
Mortal Kombat has had a nice little run since its April release. There’s been good reviews, a good reception from the gaming public and good sales. How good? With three million copies sold worldwide, the PS3 and Xbox 360 title has become the best-selling entry in the entire Mortal Kombat series.
“All of us at NetherRealm Studios are very excited that players have embraced Mortal Kombat. The game was a labor of love for us and we could not be more pleased with its performance,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “Fan reaction to this latest installment has made all of our hard work worth it.”
So what are you waiting for Ed Boon? Bring on Mortal Kombat 10!

Ninja Gaiden 3’s TGS trailer is red all over with new details
Ninja Gaiden 3‘s “Consequence” trailer is heavy on blood and disembodied voices crying out in lamentation. We see Ryu Hayabusa grunting around in pain while gallons upon gallons of blood, explained to be the blood and hatred of all he has slain, course through his arm. I almost want to see him use it to arm-wrestle with Nightmare from the Soul Calibur series.
In addition to the trailer, a multiplayer mode was announced at a pre-TGS event, set to pit would-be ninjas online against each other with the end goal of surpassing Hayabusa. I’m going to name my ninja Lag, because we all know that lag kills (cue the crickets).
It was also announced that two “play styles”, Ninja and Hero, will be featured in Ninja Gaiden 3. “Ninja” is the traditional style and the same way you’ve been playing the game for the past few iterations, while “Hero” will allow players to auto-block and auto-dodge if they just want to focus on the narrative.
So watch Ryu get a cursed arm capable of throwing a fastball from hell in the trailer above. Ninja Gaiden 3 is due in early 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Battlefield 3 TGS trailer focuses on the vehicles of war
Japan’s aversion to first person shooters is pretty well known, so EA and DICE took a different tack when developing Battlefield 3‘s Tokyo Game Show trailer. Instead of focusing on the street level battles between soldiers like many of the American trailers do, the Tokyo Game Show trailer puts a heavy emphasis on Battlefield 3’s vehicles. Jeeps, helicopters, tanks, fighter jets… they’re all here.
So what are you waiting for? Drive up to the top of this article and check it out.
