Looking back, we probably should have figured this out when he first appeared in the E32007 trailer. I mean, it all seems obvious now, right? Did you get it yet? Hm? It also seems really, really dumb. Mr.33cm's name has at last been revealed in the pages of this week's Shounen Jump. We'd heard varying hints: weather related, fiery, etc....

Famitsu is out in that part of the world it comes out in, and some neat new things are shown off in this weeks issues. Costumes, Creatures, Special Moves, it's all here. First and foremost you'll notice another feature on recently revealed Bartz Klauser and ExDeath of Final Fantasy V. In fact, a battle between the two is the focus...
Whew, uploading 23 scans is a pain in the ass. Though I guess it's not as bad as actually scanning all 23 images to begin with. Hahah, what a sucker. I mean, thanks to some lucky fan at TGS who was gracious enough to scan all of there, here's most of the booklet handed by SquareEnix to attendees of this...

So, we're just gonna stick three games under this category for now. Some new info escaping the armored walls at Tokyo Game Show today. This time in video form. A fan has managed to sneak a decent quality capture of trailers for KH:358/2 Days, KH:Birth by Sleep, and PE:The 3rd Birthday out of the Closed Mega Theater. Link >> TGS'08...
So, I'm listening to 1upYours at the moment, and since they got into the Closed Mega Dreadnaught and I did not, you're going to have to take their word for it on this one. In addition to new and extended scenes, it was announced at the end of the trailer that an additional Short Film is being created for the...

There's not a ton of news left from SquareEnix at TGS this year. DQIX has a trailer, but it's cell phone quality so I'm not posting it. The Last Remnant also has a trailer, but I don't care about that game (hahah!). So, until the trailers from the Closed Mega Theater leak out, or unless something great happens at the...

LittleBigPlanet is beyond awesome. I've played some amazing levels in the beta and even tried my hand at re-creating the infamous Nibelheim incident from Final Fantasy VII. But something was missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. That is, until now, as it looks like SquareEnix has read my mind. Link >> 01 | 02 | 03 |...

As promised at E3, The names of the male and female leads of Final Fantasy Versus XIII have been revealed. I don't know how I'm going to stretch this into a complete news post, but we so rarely get a chance to use the versusXIII category that I'm going to try anyways. Our dashing, princely young lead goes by the...

Announced earlier today via Famitsu and being demoed in Japan as I type this (literally), a new Crystal Chronicles title with quite the twist: It can be played on Wii & DS...at the same time! Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time will release January 29th, 2009 in Japan, but the most interesting part of the game is it's dual...
You have no idea how tired I am. I'm in the middle of a 3 day binge of sleepless nights, WipEout HD, and begging for LBP beta keys. But this isn't about any of that. Somewhere in between all that haziness, it was announced Dragon Quest IX heads to JP Retailers in March 2009. Which I suppose falls into that...
