From Cinelinx:
In this year’s Bandai Namco booth tour (which offered a peer at two games I nominated for E3 Best Of Show: Ni No Kuni 2 & Dragon Ball Fighter Z) I got hands on time with a sequel to one of my favorite games of the last several years: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It’s sequel Ni No Kuni 2: The Revenant Kingdom had different demos split up per console. Check out my my first impressions below.
On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, Game Informer features editor and JRPG guru, Kim Wallace, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss the JRPGs you need to play—whether you're a hardcore fan or entirely new to the genre. From Dragon Quest XI to Chrono Trigger, the duo details why turn-based games still have a place in modern video games.
US PSN is having a Flash sale this week. This is in addition to the Double Discount sale that is currently on-going as well as the promotional Totally Digital sale.
That was fast, August barely even started
I hope this month gets another flash sale cuz this one is disappointing especially in comparison to last month’s flash sale
Wow The Crew 2 is already in sale? Just like the last NFS.
I guess this gen Forza Horizon is the best by far and perform the best as well, and GTS is the best sim yet.
Perform the best in terms of what?
Cause GT still has the sales record. Unless you count GTa5 has racing.
Gary "Dominoid" Sheppard from GameGrin writes, "The first Ni no Kuni was one of my favourite JRPG titles of the last few years. With elements of traditional and modern RPG games, some beautiful Studio Ghibli artwork, and an engrossing and entertaining story, it had me hooked from the outset and I really loved it. It wasn’t expected to be any more than a cult hit, but with worldwide sales of 1.4 million between the PS3 and DS versions of the first game, it turns out that there’s a much more widespread appeal than Level 5 initially expected, especially in the west, where this is a niche genre. Given the unexpected success of the first game, it’s understandable that we’ve had a wait of about five years in the west for a sequel. Was it worth half a decade of waiting though? Let’s talk about that."
Looking forward to this. First one was a bittersweet masterpiece.
Me and my PS4 ready for this one the first was great I'm looking at this one to be just as good. Day 1 PS4.
So excited for this, put about 100 hours into the first game
Ni Nu Nah Nahh!
I really enjoyed the first one, and I am surprised that they didn't port it to PS4 when they had the chance. Either way, I'm really looking forward to this game.
