Other available themes include Baraduke, Bravoman, Cosmo Gang the Video, Dig Dug, Dragon Buster, Galaga, Namco Classics 1-5, New Rally-X, Rolling Thunder, The Genji and the Heike Clans, The Legend of “Valkyrie”, The Return of Ishtar, The Tower of Druaga, Wonder Momo, Xevious, and Yokai Dochuki.

Disney Magical World 2 Enchanted Edition pre-orders

The official boxart for Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition has been revealed, and pre-orders are starting to go live.

Bandai Namco announced the game during a Nintendo Direct last month. It’s an updated version of the 3DS title that came to 3DS in 2015 in Japan and 2016 in the west.

Bandai Namco today revealed PUI PUI Molcar Let’s! Molcar Party!, a party game for Switch based on the Japanese stop-motion short anime series. A release is planned for December 16 in Japan and Asia. English support has been confirmed for the Asian release.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set Switch review

System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2021
Developer: CyberConnect2
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot again has Goku and co.’s adventures and sagas represented, but this time in a much different format that hasn’t felt this fresh and exciting in a long while. Having put almost 100 hours when it initially released at the beginning of 2020, the semi open-world take felt like a modern day Legacy of Goku mixed with the design philosophy of One Piece: World Seeker, but done so in a way that still retained the essence of the IP and left no shortage of fights for the player to enjoy and reach higher power levels with. The Switch version undoubtedly sees a few technical downgrades compared to other platforms, and it was a bit jarring at first, but after having settled with the game for quite some time now, it’s arguably Bandai Namco’s most competent Dragon Ball port yet, making for a really great DBZ experience that can now be played at home or on the go.

Super Robot Wars 30

Super Robot Wars 30 was announced in a Japanese Nintendo Direct earlier this year. Very soon after the reveal, Bandai Namco followed up by confirming plans to release the game in Asia. It’s especially noteworthy since that region will have English support.

Play-Asia has now opened pre-orders for the Asian version of Super Robot Wars 30. You can reserve it here.

Since Switch is region free, you can play through the game without any issues. Bandai Namco hasn’t any plans to bring Super Robot Wars 30 to the west on Switch, so the Asian version will probably be your only way to play in English on the system.

3D platformer The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem arrives on Switch today, and alongside the game, Bandai Namco have shared a new launch trailer. Check it out below the break.
