Dragon Ball Fusions has been getting updates recently for its upcoming Japanese release, and Bandai Namco has released an updated version of the original trailer that shows some of these off. These include different fusions, Street Pass, and the cameo of Akira Toriyama character Arale. You can check it out below:

It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart! The top few spots are mostly the same, but Zelda is back up a couple of spots.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between June 16 and June 22.

Update: Here’s a trailer for the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack and OVA:


Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will launch on September 30 in the west, Inti Creates revealed at Anime Expo today. You’ll need to fork over $14.99 for the download.

Alternatively, you can spend $30 on the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, which has finally been confirmed for overseas territories. The package will include both games in the series – Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 and 2. As expected, Yacht Club Games is publishing.

A rating in Australia originally confirmed plans to have the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack in the west. That means it should be released in North America as well as PAL regions.

Also announced today is a special Azure Striker Gunvolt anime OVA for this winter. However, we don’t have specifics just yet.

More:

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were featured with some new footage at the Pokemon National Championships in Hong Kong today. Aside from showing the Professor Kukui/Rockruff clip from Pokenchi, Rockruff and Komala were shown battling.

At the moment, only an off-screen recording has been posted online, which we have below. If an official upload comes in, we’ll update this post.

A few days ago, SEGA launched a 7th Dragon III Code: VFD on the North American 3DS eShop. A bunch of footage of the download can be watched below.

Puzzle & Dragons X launches in Japan later this month. With its release just a few weeks away, Famitsu has another article on the game this week with the latest details.

This week’s information starts with introduction of facilities in the Water City, the first city you start the game from. There are many civilians and Dragon Summoner Guild members on the island. Their conversations may change depending on story progression.

The facilities include:

1. Dragoza Communications Place

Players can trade monsters and guild cards, and receive presents from friends. It is also possible to trade between God and Dragon Chapters, so it is implied that it will be possible to trade rare monsters that are exclusive to each version.

A guild card contains the player’s max damage ever dealt to a monster, how many monsters they’ve befriended, play time, number of times they’ve used the Stone of Life, and a comment from the player. When you obtain someone else’s guild card, they become available as Puzzle Friends.
