Japanese blogs have picked up on an interesting discovery on Namco Bandai's TGS site.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
Laced Records has teamed up with Bandai Namco for the release of a triple vinyl-set featuring music from retro-classics Tekken Tag Tournament & Tekken 4.
TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
Metacritic reveals the past year's best and worst videogame publishers (based on their 2018 releases) in their 9th annual Game Publisher Rankings.
I want Tales of Graces for the Wii U. Originally released on Wii in Japan, but was riddled with game breaking bugs. Namco Bandai wasn't pleased with Nintendo and their Wii console (probably because the ability to patch games on the Wii, is almost non-existent), so they updated the title (Tales of Graces F) and launched it on the PS3.
A digital release would be just as good (less risk involved), so whatever's best for their portfolio.
