Bandai Namco is the latest publisher to announce its lineup of games for Tokyo Game Show 2018, which will take place in just a few weeks, from September 20 to 23.
As far as Nintendo Switch games are concerned, Bandai Namco will show off Kamen Rider: Climax Scramble, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun, Chou Tousouchuu & Chou Sentouchuu Double Pack, Tales of Vesperia Remaster, Digimon Survive, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Neko Tomo (this will also be on Nintendo 3DS) and Pro Yakyuu Famista Evolution. All of those games will be playable on the show floor, except for Digimon Survive, which will only be shown off in video form.
Bandai Namco’s lineup also includes several games on non-Nintendo platforms as well as a whole slew of mobile games; if you’re interested, you can see the full lineup on the TGS 2018 section of their website.
Atlus published the latest character-focused trailer for Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. This one is all about Persona 4’s Chie Satonaka:
A new fortune cookie is now in the mobile game which is packed with “grandiose” furniture and clothing. It’s available all the way until December 2.
Nintendo has posted another update to the Smash Bros. Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time around, we have an introduction to Ike.
Here’s the overview:
The latest patch for Pokemon Duel is now available to download. It features the start of the Alola Festival and unspecified bug fixes.
The adventure game Ary and the Secret of Seasons was just announced for Switch last week. At the Indie Mega Booth at Gamescom, some extensive footage was shown during a Twitch live stream. Watch the recording below.
Koei Tecmo added a web page for its appearance at the 2018 Tokyo Games Show. Here is the lineup according to translations from Gematsu.
A web page on SNK’s Japan website has a countdown clock and below it the tagline “A new dawn rises.” Given the URL includes the text “snknewgame” it’s safe to expect a new title to be announced when all is said and done. There’s no guarantee it will hit a Nintendo console but, given the recent releases of their 40th Anniversary Collection and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, it’s not unlikely. The clock strikes zero next Monday at about 10pm EST.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Persona Q2 hold on to their positions while Yo-kai Watch 4 appears for the first time.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 9 and August 22.
During the week of August 20, My Hero: One’s Justice was the best-selling title of the week in Japan. According to Media Create data, between the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions, it sold roughly 40,000 copies.
Switch is actually where a majority of sales came from. Media Create has the Switch version at 24,626 copies sold while it moved 16,026 units on PlayStation 4.
Dengeki chimes in with some extra information as well. My Hero: One’s Justice managed to sell through 75% of its initial shipment. It also did better than the 3DS title My Hero Academia: Battle for All, which sold just over 5,000 copies in its first week and a bit of 30,000 copies in total.
