We Shall Have Bleach: Soul Ignition...but

It's going to be called Bleach: Soul Resurrección. And guess who's bring it over here? NIS America. They are slowly but surely becoming my favorite publisher. The fact that they are bring this over is great news itself. But even better is the fact that we get the option of choosing the Japanese voices. Johnny Yong Bosch is an awesome person, but I can't bare to hear his voice anymore. (Nolan North too) They are in nearly every form of media I recently purchased. Whether it be a main character of Random Guy B, they're in there somewhere. Anyways, visit the official site here!



Screenies!

    

Bleach: Soul Ignition Release Date, Screens and Info

PS3 anime title Bleach: Soul Ignition is scheduled for a June 23rd release in Japan. The picture above also confirms Ichigo's Final Tensa Zangetsu Bankai Form as playable. The official site also updated with a few more details:

• High-quality PS3 videos with full animation
• The Arrancar Arc
• A multitude of of characters
• Seamless gameplay with no frame rate slowdown
• Simple controls anybody can pick up and play
• An original anime introduction video made by Studio Pierrot

The game's theme song is "Melody of the Wild Dance" by SID which you can take a listen to below.

Bleach: Soul Ignition is a single player game, but the site also mentions PSN support. I'm thinking either score ranking or DLC characters -_- Other than that, I'll end with new screens.

I'm Really Trying My Best...

...to like Naruto Shuppuden: Kizuna Drive. The main concept of this game is teamwork, but this game's CPU AI tells me something completely different. I'm at the point where this game is unplayable unless I find other people to play with. Enjoy the opening movie while I rip this game apart.

This game started off pretty good. I was enjoying the whole fact of working as a team until I got to later missions. I made it to Scenario Mission's Chapter 5 and have been stuck there for 4 days now. Chapter 5 consists of a battle against Shukaku (Gaara's Tailed Beast). As soon as the fight starts, 99 percent of the time Shukaku will fire a huge Chakra blast out of his mouth. What do you do? You GTFO the way! So I (controlling Naruto) run immediately to left to avoid the blast. The rest of my team, Hinata, Neji, and Rock Lee, are STILL F*CKING STANDING THERE. I watch in pain or should I say RAGE as their health meters decrease. Hinata, who is supposed to be the support character (Healer), is in a world of her own. when I walk up to her to heal me, she walks away......She doesn't even heal other characters. WTF GAME?!?!

One more mission to add to my fury. in Free Mission, there's a Rank C mission called Bonds. I had no choice but to use a support character (Sakura), to at least TRY and beat this mission. The goal of the mission is to survive for  7-8 minutes and have at least 100 "Kizuna Points", points that you receive for teamwork, which is something this game is lacking. Sakura, IMO, is one of the best characters in the game. Not only is she really powerful, but she's an amazing healer. She totes a healing jutsu as well as the ability to place healing tags on the ground. All of her abilities are thrown out the window once you start this mission. As soon as this mission starts, There's a few bombs scattered around. Kakashi immediately walks over one. -_- It was a pain in the ass to keep him and the rest of the team (Yamato and Shikamaru or Chouji) alive. They never ran over the healing tags to heal themselves and when I ran up to them to perform the healing jutsu, THEY F*UCKING RUN AWAY!!!!!!!! I did managed to beat the mission though. I reached the goal of 100 Kizuna Points, but I received a penalty for having a KO'D teammate...Today is my last day trying to beat these difficult missions like the Chapter 5 one mentioned above. I'm going to try and find real humans to play this game with or I'm going to say screw it and go play God Eater, which is probably better.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift II Goodies......For Japan

Besides releasing tons of crap anime-based titles, some Japanese developers really do care about their fans. If not giving them anime-based items for use in-game, then their giving them beautiful artwork. Might be considered a little risqué, but it's definitely a nice bonus for those who pick up the game in Japan. If CSII is released in the states, we probably won't get these goodies since we got shafted out of the fan limited edition AND special edition.

Here's a peek at what Japan is getting below. These are all based on which retailer they decide to purchase the title from.

 
 

 

 

 

Some Hearts Were Broken

Arcana Hearts that is! Aksys announced Arcana Heart 3 will be released this Spring only on the Playstation Network. Xbox 360 owners will partake none of its chocolates. Arcana Hearts was released on both consoles in Japan. The price has yet TBD, but it better damn well not be over 30 bucks. I was looking forward to a physical copy. Just miiiiiiiight have to import this one.

Geohot Has A Rap

Good luck in court man. I don't think it'll help your case, but it did give me a haha.

This is How You Sell a NGP!

Mmmmm Gravity Daze!

BlazBlue Continuum Shift II Trailer and 3DS Details

It seems the only difference between the PSP and 3DS version will be that the 3DS will show a command list on the bottom screen. In other modes it'll show a status including the player name, play time, etc. In the mean time, I'm still waiting on Platinum the Trinity....

New PSP, "NGP", Revealed!

Sony Revealing Next Generation Portable

I guess that means it is the PSP2. Only question now, is what it looks like. I think Sony chose the right time to reveal this new portable. The Nintendo 3DS smoke seems to have cleared a little. I guess by making this announcement so soon means that they are going to blow Nintendo and Apple out the water? Maybe we'll just see alot of previews for future games at E3. I only expect to see a few in the next couple of hours. Maybe like three major titles. Since they are announcing the PSP2, why not go ahead and announce that Final Fantasy VII remake! Here's the supposed look of the handheld:

I doubt that's the actual look, being that the Playstation Phone previewed by Engadget has the same look.

Malicious Update 1.01 Available

The 1.01 update is available for download. I just downloaded it and the game seems to run alot smoother. The controls are MUCH better too!

Bleach: Soul Ignition Characters Revealed?!

"des", who is a huge contributer to all things imports, might have uncovered all the playable characters in the upcoming Bleach: Soul Ignition. While searching through the demo's "soul", des found over 650 entries that included loading screens, cutscenes, stages, and even models. But most importantly he found the possibility of 21 playable characters.

And most important to me, is the fact that Grimmjow and Ulquiorra are on the list of playable characters! Overall, it's great news for Bleach fans. At first, it seemed like only a handful of characters would be playable but I guess not. I had second thoughts about importing when I played the demo and then thought how limiting the game would be with a few characters and that hack n' slash gameplay. More characters and hopefully more gameplay styles based on the chracters fighting abilities shouldn't condemn this game to just a button masher.

I love Amy Hennig! Naughty Dog plans on doing alot with Uncharted 3 and I promise you, they will get it done!

Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy Jump Festa Trailer and Square Enix's Stupidity

Alright. As much as I'm hyped for this game, I really do wonder why Square won't release this game on PS3 with stunning HD visuals and more playable characters. Then again Square doesn't like money. You don't like money. I don't like money. Who needs it?! The first Dissidia was reported to have been downloaded illegally 5.2 million times in Japan. Thats 40 bucks times 5.2 million copies. That's roughly around 208 million US dollars (17 billion yen). Who cares about Aeris dying? Square is killing themselves.

Hungry Square? Not for profit at least..

Bleach: Soul Ignition Demo Now Available

On the Japanese Playstation Network. If you don't have a Japanese account you'll have to make one to play. Probably worth it if you're a Bleach fan!

Hyperdimension Neptunia's U.S. Trailer

NIS America finally released a English trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia. I'm glad we'll get the Japanese language tracks as a bonus because those English voices are shitty. I'm pretty sure that their are people out there that can voice act better than this. We need you!!!

New Little Big Planet 2 Story Trailer

The game has finally gone gold and a demo will be available for download on the Playstation Network today!

Rurouni Kenshin: Saisen Trailer

It's nice to hear "Freckles" again but I'm sorry. This game looks like crap. I can't fully agree with that statement yet until I play it though. All the major playable characters are there and that Street Fighter art stroke looks mighty nice. The gameplay looks similar to the Hitman Reborn Battle Arena series on PSP and those games are just OK but not great. Saisen comes out next year on March 11th.

Bleach: Soul Ignition Demo Gameplay

At Jump Festa 2011, some lucky fans received codes for the demo that's being released next week. So here's what you'll be playing if you decide to download it.
