**Take your pick from these two Ni no Kuni deals!**

You can buy the heavily discounted Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for PlayStation 3, now just $39.99.

Or you can import Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no Madōshi for the original DS, which is also $39.99 right now — it plays just fine on U.S. systems, and comes with the magic book. Plus, there’s a fan translation project for it that hasn’t died yet.

[Update: Dang, apparently shipping costs from Play-Asia are nuts, like over $20 :o/ ]

There’s the option to buy both, too, but then you’re not saving much money today…

IMAGE VIA Unfocused Mind

Dragon’s Crown screens are blowing my mind

The last few minutes have just been a stream of semi-angry IMs to Eric about how crazy great these screens look.

“this art my god”
“how is this a screenshot”
“THIS GAME”

This game looks better every time I see it.

Dungeons & Dragons games collected on PSN/Xbox/Wii U

Yeah, another trailer, but I’m excited about this! I have not played these Dungeons & Dragons brawlers, because they were never in my local arcades and I don’t have the Japanese Saturn collection.

But I sure do like Capcom arcade brawlers of this era, and I’m a big George Kamitani/Vanillaware fan. Really looking forward to this on XBLA, PSN, or Wii U. I don’t really know or care which I’ll get it on. It’s coming out on all of them.

Dragon’s Crown trailer

Creepy Renaissance-esque dudes! Incredibly intricate shading! Also some butts! Dragon’s Crown looks like the absolute business. I’m so glad to see Vanillaware drift all the way into arcade-style stuff.

This comes out July 25 in Japan, and I’m seriously considering importing. Don’t need much language skill to hit stuff with a sword.

Bit.Trip Presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien trailer

JC has already played a little of this, and he tells me the game is amazing. We won’t have to wait for long to find out if he’s a liar — Runner2 releases on Wii U’s eShop and Steam tomorrow! You can preview the game’s music, download its soundtrack, and put in a preorder for the PC version right here.

Why you shouldn’t dump your PS Vita

As worrisome as PS Vita’s future looks at the moment, now’s not the time to throw your system in the bin (in fact, never is the time when you should leave your handheld in the trash). There’s still Dragon’s Crown to think about, after all! Don’t these screenshots look amazing, like a modern day version of the old Dungeons & Dragons arcade games?

And here’s the new Dragon’s Crown trailer from the Vita Heaven event again in case you missed it this morning. There’s no released date for the PS Vita and PlayStation 3 game yet, though. :o/

Trailer for Youkai Watch (Ghost Watch), a promising new “cross-media franchise” (games/anime/manga) from Level-5. I am sooo hyped for this. Check out the ghost cat! The ghost kappa! The ghost old-lady-beard thing!

The publisher hasn’t revealed an expected release date or even a platform for this yet — maybe PS3, PS Vita, Wii U, or…. 3DS? Checking out the seven seconds of game footage around 1:14, it looks maybe too advanced for a handheld? There’s always hope that, like Ni no Kuni, there will be a portable version, at least (and, hopefully, unlike Ni no Kuni, that one would released outside of Japan.).

Gaijin Games’ brainstorming session for Runner 2, its new Bit.Trip Runner follow-up! … for XBLA and PSN.

I hope you’ve got an Xbox 360 or PS3 because Bit Trip Presents: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien expands on the original awesome game with HD graphics, 10+ new abilities for Commander Video (and other playable characters), unlockable outfits, difficulty modes and checkpoints, and more. Hopefully Anamanaguchi will make a return on the soundtrack, too?

You can follow Runner 2’s development and see its concept art (very different style from the Bit.Trip series!) here.

Anyone out there playing Fret Nice? I’ve been waiting for the guitar-driven platformer for quite some time now, but because it’s for the PlayStation 3, and all my Rock Band gear is for the Xbox 360, I’ve yet to experience the final product. An XBLA version has been promised, though no release date has been given.

Minna de Spelunker Black for PS3. Apparently the first PSN Spelunker game wasn’t frustratingly unfair enough, so IREM came up with a sequel in which you can’t see shit.

The sequel has the same four-player split-screen mode as before, so now you and three friends can each not see a portion of the screen!

Wonderful Katamari Forever trailer. I love just about everything about this trailer (except that it’s for a PS3 game, and thus a cruel taunt against people with normal amounts of money), but I think what I love best is that there was someone at Namco producing little animal puppets and stages for this, and rolling a little Prince around. That was somebody’s job.

Katamari Damacy Tribute trailer. What’s more notable than the PS3 game itself is that it features cover versions of the original Katamari soundtrack from a bunch of cool artists. Check out that snippet of “A Crimson Rose and a Gin Tonic” by YMCK!

Also, the talking animal pictures. I love it!
