Those interested in the subsequent release of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch enough to be interested in the Wizard’s Edition that they have announced for the game may be even more interested to hear that those pre-ordering in United States may be able to get even more. Ninostarter is a program currently running that was started by Namco Bandai to track the amount of people pre-ordering the Wizard’s Edition of the game through the clubNamco website.

So, the question is how does it work? Well, it’s pretty simple. Every pre-order of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – Wizard’s Edition made on the clubNamco website fills the bar until reaching a pre-order goal, which leads to a new bar and a new goal. However, the added content is only being added to those getting it in the United States. Pre-orders must be received before August 31st to count towards the promotion, so if you or a players you know would be interested in the Wizard’s Edition in the United States be sure to pre-order HERE or follow the Ninostarter progress HERE.

Today Tecmo Koei revealed a new gameplay trailer to show off their recently revealed tag-team gameplay mode which will be returning for Dead or Alive 5. In this trailer we are shown a number of combo attacks that players can perform with proper character switching and juggling techniques.

It is also worth noting that two characters have also been revealed in this trailer, Jann Lee and La Mariposa, also known as Lisa from past games. It is interesting to note however that Tecmo Koei only acknowledged Tina and Jann Lee’s existences in the trailer although Tina was previously revealed during E3, so perhaps this is not the last we’ve seen of Lisa before the game is released on September 25th.

Does the real money auction house and number of other issues revolving around Diablo 3 make you cringe for a simpler but equally enjoyable dungeon crawling experience? Well hopefully by the end of the Summer this year you will have a new alternative because Runic Games’ Torchlight 2 is still planned for a release sometime this summer.

Speaking with Joystiq, Runic president Travis Baldree has stated: “The end of summer is September 25th or something like that, right? We’re still trying to get it done for summer. It’s a big game and we’ve still got some polish to go.” So with summer already a month in, this gives Runic a little over two months to release the game and save gamers from Diablo 3 hell.

A Taiwanese teenager has died at an internet cafe after playing Diablo 3 for 40 hours straight.

The 18-year old only identified by his surname Chuang, booked a private room at an internet cafe in Tainan, southern Taiwan on July 13 and played for nearly two days without eating.

An attendant found the teenager in the room resting on Sunday, and woke him where he stood and soon collapsed after taking a few steps.

The teen was pronounced dead shortly being taken to a local hospital.

While this is a tragic incident, it is unfortunately not the first. In February earlier this year, a Taiwanese man from New Taipei, was found dead at his computers after playing Diablo 3 for 23 hours.
