National Geographic : Panda: Total Panda-Monium

4:00PM Luke Plunkett | Like we said, we popped in for tea and biscuits at Namco Bandai HQ today. What’d we see? A ton of stuff. What’d we do? Well, I played the best game Namco Bandai had on show. And it wasn’t a Tales game. Wasn’t a Dragonball game, either. It was this. I love my cute, stuffed panda. But I love National Geographic Panda. Picture Nintendogs. But with giant pandas.

Namco Bandai Editor’s Day: And the Rest…

3:00PM Flynn De Marco | While there was a lot to look at at the Namco Bandai Editor’s Day, there were a couple things that were announced that weren’t available for checking out. First up is Naruto: Ultimate Ninja. The game will be rendered in full 3D including all the backgrounds and the battles. It will be an exclusive to the PS3 platform as well as the first Naruto game to be presented in full 3D. Next we heard about Namco’s answer to Nintendogs, National Geographic Panda. Raise and train your own panda with its own distinct personality right on your DS. While Naruto isn’t exactly my thing, something about that Panda game has me a little intrigued. It would be awesome if you could train it to maul your enemies, but I suppose that isn’t exactly National Geographic’s MO. Too bad really. You can check out the press release for both games after the jump. More »
