Namco Bandai Brings Home Clash of the Titans

Released in 1980, Clash of the Titans is one of my favorite films of all-time. Combining the amazing effects of Ray Harryhausen and some fine storytelling, it stands as one of the best fantasy films ever made. So, imagine my horror when a remake is announced. Oh yeah, and there's a tie-in game too. Fortunately, the game does have some potential - it's being developed by Game Republic, best known for the PS3-exclusives Folklore and Genji: Days of the Blade (yes, the Giant Enemy Crab game). The game promises "vast landscapes of swamps, mountains and the underworld", with two modes of play, allowing players to follow the film's plot or deviate and battle some original bosses created for the game. Multiplayer is also promised. Namco Bandai will be publishing the title, which is set for release in Spring of 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Namco Bandai Adding More Virtual Console Arcade Games Than You Can Shake a Joystick At-- in Japan

Since Nintendo surprised everyone at this year's Game Developers Conference with the Virtual Console Arcade, Nintendo has gone on to release... six titles. Ultimately, it seems to have simply made the queue for waiting on something good to come out even bigger. However, releases have come a bit more frequently in Japan, where they presently have 34 games to purchase, many of them from Namco Bandai (whose offerings make up fully one-half of the Western VC Arcade lineup, in case you were wondering). What's more, according to Andriasang, they still have five games left from the initially-announced wave of titles. The publisher has managed to get out approximately one a week in Japan, which has led to 25 Namco Bandai arcade games being available in total. Evidently, they figure that's close enough to allow them to announce the next batch of 20 VC Arcade titles they plan to introduce.
