Following the trend of streaming trailers in anticipation of their official unveiling at Tokyo Game Show 2011, Level 5, known for their Professor Layton series, has started to stream a trailer for their joint production with Studio Ghibli, Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joo.
The trailer shows off prpecisely 100 seconds of RPG goodness, giving Ghibli and Level 5 fans enough whimsical imagery to beat a fairy to death with. The game is indeed beautiful and is said to tell an equally beautiful story (Studio Ghibli is said to be handling that part).
Ni no Kuni is set for release on the Playstation 3 in Japan on November 27th, 2011. You can check out the trailer below and let us know what you think of it in the comments section.
Rather than release a small teaser for each character, Capcom has decided to go completely over the top for the latest cinematic trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken. The video is similar to the one released a few months ago which introduced Poison and Hugo. In the video from Famitsu we see two of the more portly fighters getting into confrontation with one another after Street Fighter’s Rufus mistakes Tekken’s Bob Richards for Ken Masters.
After they fight into the restaurant we also see the big Russian Zangief get a little bit of screen time himself. The fight all takes place inside Tekken’s Marshall Law’s Diner, though he wasn’t actually shown. If Capcom can make interesting story cinematics to advertise the game, perhaps they could actually make legitimate story for this title as well.

If you took part in the Gears of War 3 beta back in April then you may have unlocked a gold plated retro lancer. But if you only sampled the beta and didn’t unlock the skins, or just never took part in it then don’t worry, you will still be able to get yourself a gold weapon in the form of a gold plated chainsaw death machine and hammerburst if you play online during the game’s launch week.
The US Air Force is sponsoring “Gears of War 3 Golden Wings Week” which will be between Spetember 20th until the 26th and anyone who goes online will unlock the Golden Lancer and Golden Hammerburst weapon skins. Which means if you unlocked the Golden Retro Lancer in the beta then you will be decked out with three golden weapon skins. Of course there are also thousands of launch events taking place all over the world at different retailers for midnight releases if you feel like bonding with fellow Gears enthusiasts.
With all of the releases on portables as of late, Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures kind of snuck up on us. If you are unfamiliar with this latest entry into the famous Mama series, this game has players take control of either Mama’s son or daughter and perform outdoor tasks for both Mama and Papa. Mini-games are the most prominent element of Camping Mama, and players will have to build fires, cook food, and interact with the elements as this happy family enjoy the outdoor life.
Other features include:
• Based on the best-selling Cooking Mama franchise that has sold more than 8 and a half million units in North America alone, Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures allows players to explore the camp site and island as they play a mix of stylus-based cooking, crafting, treasure hunting, and action mini-games in the signature Mama format.
• Play through 38 levels with 100 brand new mini games as Mama’s son or daughter with either Mama or Papa on hand to provide guidance.
• Participate in activities including rock climbing, swinging on jungle vines, spelunking, rowing a boat, tree climbing, and more.
• Use items in mini-games to survive in the woods – craft a fishing pole to fish, sharpen knives and axes with stones you’ve collected, make a fire to cook shellfish you’ve caught, cook the eggs collected from captured chickens to eat, set up your camping tent to sleep in, construct a net to catch butterflies, and much more!
• Experience nature in a variety of settings, such as the Forest, Mountains, and Seas in day, night, snow, and more!
• Find treasure that you can use in further adventures, or even to decorate your camp.
• Collect insects, fish, treasure, and more, and then survey your collection in your scrap book. Aim to find everything!
• Perfect mini games you’ve unlocked in Challenge Mode.
Personally, seeing another Mama game come out is fine by me as these titles appeal to all audiences due to the addictive gameplay elements within and are great for introducing the little ones to gaming in general. You can check out the very jolly trailer for the game below, and Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures launches on the DS September 13th, which is tomorrow for those keeping track.
Those hoping to play some more games with everyone’s favorite electric yellow rodent should be glad to hear that Nintendo is working on yet another PokePark title for the Wii. Andriasang reports that the latest issue of Coro Coro Comics has some details about the title, named PokePark 2 Beyond the World. It will be released on the Wii this Winter in Japan.
The first PokePark title was released in December of 2009 and had players playing as Pikachu on a mini-game filled island with other various Pokemon. The game will feature four player multiplayer as well as other main characters to play as instead of Pikachu. I’m sure there is no doubt that this game will end up being released in the West as well, as everyone here loves Pokemon.
We’ve seen a few screenshots and learned a little bit about what the game will be like when it is released sometime in the future. But now we finally have a gameplay trailer for Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy and I can probably speak for most Final Fantasy fans when I say that Theatrhythm looks like it will be a great experience.
The game will be focused around rhythm gameplay, where players will have to use the touchscreen to input taps and swipes at the right times. The highlight of this footage is the fact that there will be footage used from the original games during some of the songs which is a perfect way to get fans interested and definitely strike the nostalgia chord.
