As you may know, Aksys is currently celebrating the third anniversary of the BlazBlue series in North America but it also happens to be the fourth year that the series has been in existence worldwide. Today Aksys Games announce that throughout the series’ lifetime they have sold 1.7 million copies of the game worldwide.

Of these worldwide sales, 800,000 of them happened to be in the United States alone. While not overly impressive compared to the numbers that Street Fighter’s recent releases have pulled in, this is still rather great news for a newcomer to the fighting game scene. Especially one with what began as a niche fanbase that has slowly grown over the years.

While Namco Bandai is already offering a neat Wizard’s Edition exclusively through their online store, ClubNamco, they are also offering a few pre-order bonuses for those who don’t feel like buying the special edition but still want to get the game’s standard version.

Today the company revealed that there will be two special pre-order bonuses depending on the store you pre-order from. If you happen to pre-order the game from Amazon you will get the above “Griffy” familiar which has a few special abilities and wasn’t added to the Japanese version of the game.

However pre-ordering from GameStop in the U.S. or EB Games in Canada will net you an even better bonus. Anyone who pre-orders from these stores will be given the steelbook case which can be seen below, featuring exclusive artwork. While the decision on which to pick up still lies with the consumer, I can tell you that those steelbook editions will probably be very popular when the game is released on January 22nd next year.

If you were concerned about the fact that there hasn’t been a new chapter for Bleach appearing in Japan or anywhere else, well there is a good reason for the missing release. Today it was revealed on the Japanese website Yaraon that due to some issues with Tite Kubo’s health, he has momentarily put the manga on hiatus.

To recover from his sickness he is expected to take a few weeks off from the manga, though it is expected that he will be returning with a new chapter around August 20th. With Bleach in its “final story arc” it is certainly an unfortunate time for Kubo to fall ill, however the author’s health is obviously top priority and we wish him the best of luck with his recovery.

Rambo The Video Game is coming along nicely, but to make sure that players haven’t forgotten what the character is all about Reef Entertainment has made highlights reel trailer showing off what makes John Rambo, well Rambo.

Now, the need for a reminder of what Rambo is about seems a little silly as he’s one of the best known action heroes in movie history.  But, seeing is definitely the ideal way of remembering he who is Rambo as well as he’s arsenal of weapons at his disposal.

In addition to the trailer, a set of three environment screenshots have been released showing off some of the places Rambo will be taking his enemies apart, though they are pretty drab without the hustle and bustle of people to kill with knife, bow, and gun.  Hopefully, they’ll push it and he’ll give us a war we wont believe.

Be sure to check out the Rambo highlight reel trailer embedded below and the environment screenshots in the gallery below.
