Did you have fun playing Dragon Ball: Raging Blast? Good, because Raging Blast 2 is on its way to a PS3 and Xbox 360 near you and features over 90 playable characters, including some that have never be seen in a video game before. And if that doesn’t satisfy your Dragon Ball needs Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team is making its way to the PSP. More »

If you don’t know what Persona is, it would behoove you to do a quick Wikipedia search, read up about it, and then scour Ebay for copies of all the games. If you love Japanese RPG’s and you don’t know what Persona is, this blog post just might change your life. You could also skip the whole eBay thing and just wait for July, when one of the best RPG’s I have ever played gets released on the PSP! More »

Alas, my very first portable gaming system. Although I’ve been playing games since 1984, I never was fortunate enough back then to get a regular black and white Gameboy, especially not the Neo Geo pocket or Atari Lynx. Don’t know what these things are? If you don’t that’s fine, just keep it to yourself and don’t ask me what Moses was like during his teens. More »

I have nothing else to wish for this Christmas and I felt my heart thumping when I saw pictures of the life size Gundam in Japan. And since I love gundam so much, why not. It’d be kinda useless but I want one anyways. It looks like it has a lot of space inside so maybe it could make a nice room. Or some sort of tree house. I heard that the head can move too. Sounds like a really cool gimmick. More »

From Rekuru:

This console generation, home to high definition gaming and wii-mote waggling, genres like shooters have seen an explosion of interest with games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Gears of War, Resistance: Fall of Man, Killzone 2, Halo 3, and much more. While that’s all well and good for shooter fans, there are some gamers that have been all but left in the cold. Let’s face it, not everyone enjoys shooting things in the face. What about RPG (that’s role playing games for the uninitiated) enthusiasts? This generation, there has been very little in the way of RPG’s and while the future release of Final Fantasy XIII may help change that much like it’s predecessor VII did for the Playstation, it still doesn’t change the fact that there is a major RPG drought at the moment. What’s a gamer to do? Enter the Nintendo DS. More »

Although Alexa already mentioned this new piece of hardware, I again wanted to draw attention to something that is both a blessing and a curse to the world of gaming. 1up.com has posted a gallery of them comparing the new Nintendo DSi XL to other portable devices. More »

From Wirebot: Just two days after Japanese business newspaper Nikkei Shimbun published a rumour that Nintendo will update their current DSi with a larger 4 inch screen, Nintendo announced the DSi LL. This update was planned after customers wanted a larger screen. More »

Atlus has spoiled gamers with artbooks, plushies, and soundtrack cds with their lineup of video game releases. Now they will do the same for the rerelease of the Shin Megami Tensei Persona game on PSP (originally released on the PS1 in 1996). The soundtrack of the game is redone by Shoji Meguro, famous for the soundtracks of Persona 3 and 4. More »

With all this talk about Final Fantasy 13, how about Final Fantasy 14!! Haha, it’s funny that this is even being mentioned since 13 hasn’t even come out yet. I guess Squenix thinks we can drool over two games at once. They think too much of us!

Even though the economy has been pretty bad, things are pretty good here for Ningin and our parent company. So we’re looking to do some expansion. One immediate expansion that we have in mind is a new gaming site which we hope to launch in the next couple of weeks. We’re going to have both paid blogger positions and a couple of internships which won’t be paid. More info after the jump. More »

The hit anime Toradora will be invading the PSP on April 30. It is already available for preorder; however, most have already been taken. The game storyline is said to be completely different from the anime and novel; however, the anime voice actors will be the same.

In addition to the game, an extra DVD will be included that features a director’s cut version of a Toradora! Anime episode, the original novel and manga. Also a feature called “Motion Portrait” will be applied and the characters will be displayed with animations in the conversation parts. So no more single screen expressions! More »
