Namco Bandai has absorbed the developer of the Tales RPG series.
Tales Studio, the developer responsible for the Tales series of RPGs since 1995's Tales of Phantasia, has been closed by parent company Namco Bandai. Although a reason wasn't given, Tales Studio has been having financial problems for some time and bankruptcy rumors have been floating around throughout 2011.
Make Room for Aeon, Cervantes, Xiba, and Yoshimitsu!
Namco Bandai has now let gamers know that Aeon, Cervantes, Xiba and Yoshimitsu will be coming to Soul Calibur V. Cervantes and Yoshimitsu are series favorites and look very different this time around. Yoshimitsu has a new mask and Cervantes' spell from the evil sword Soul Blade has been broken, altering his appearance. Aeon is a new character, a lizardman with wings who can spit fire. Xiba looks like a staff-wielding character that's a cross between Kilik, Talim and Maxi.
Now they can be bought individually.
Fans of the Sly Cooper franchise were delighted when The Sly Collection came to retail. It featured the three PlayStation 2 games remastered in HD and with Trophy support among other features, some hidden from players up until that point. Well, if you haven't picked up the collection yet, here's another way to get your Cooper fix.
As with other high profile fighting games, Soulcalibur V will get its own branded fighting stick.
Hori announced on Facebook today that Soulcalibur V will have a fighting stick peripheral made. Hori is making the Soulcalibur V Joystick and it will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in January 2012. No pricing or information was included but a screenshot was made available. Hori is known for making quality arcade joysticks and they usually make one for each big fighting game release.
