Manga with saucy female content is nothing new at all. Ditto for erotic games. But a manga about female erotic game makers making shojo erotic games?
Battle of the manga titans! Konami has announced a 3D PSP "action" fighting title featuring characters from Kodansha's Shounen Magazine and Shogakukan's Weekly Shounen Sunday.
The official Japanese website for Level-5's PlayStation 3 RPG White Knight Chronicles has updated with a manga ebook prequel set 10,000 years before the events in the game.
Everyone's favourite upcoming goofy Hollywood flick Dragon Ball is apparently getting a slightly reworked title: Dragonball Evolution. This isn't yet confirmed by studio 20th Century Fox, but URL DragonballEvolutionmovie.com redirects to FoxMovies.com.
Japanese Wii owners will soon be able to get their manga on without even turning their heads away from the TV screen. Welcome to the future, don't forget to eat and sleep.
Not rock-the-foundations-of-gaming stuff, but Naruto fans might be interested to know that the demo of Naruto: The Broken Bond, is up on Xbox Live. I think Major Nelson forgot to mention this. Anyway, it clocks in at 765 MB and lets you take a peek at the latest installment of the anime action adventure game, which drops Nov. 18 in North America and Nov. 21 in Europe. Fahey took a look at a video and weighed in with his impressions back around E3 timeish.
Dragonball Teaser Trailer [Trailer Addict - Thanks wwm0nkey!]
Recently Ballantine Books sent me a copy of the new Phoenix Wright manga, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Official Casebook Vol. 1 The Phoenix Wright Files.
The nearly 300-page book is packed with 21 short stories by two dozen artists and writers and wraps up with authors' comments, translation notes and a sneak peek of volume 2.
The book is an enjoyable romp through the strange, flashy-dressing world of OBJECTIONS! and turnabouts. What it isn't is a book that recreates the fun of playing the game. The storylines certainly ring true and the art is a fun collection of different styles, but maybe they should have taken the Choose Your Own Adventure path.
If you're a fan of the game franchise then it's probably worth picking up, but others may find it a bit on the dry side.
We first heard of the DS version of manga/anime To LOVEru last spring. To LOVEru follows the adventures of a high school boy and an alien girl named Lala who one days appears out in his home of nowhere buck naked. The game is rated 15 and up. Hit the jump for one of its touching mini games. Titled To LOVEru Waku Waku, the game is out in Japan later this month.
To get everyone ready in Japan for Soul Calibur IV, Namco Bandai released a manga explaining how to play and features like character customisation. Above is the manga as it originally appeared in Japanese. Think of it as an instruction manual you'd actually read. Below, there's a "scanlation" version kindly translated by website Otadesho. Take a look, it amused us.
