Distant Worlds, the touring symphony of music from the Final Fantasy series has a date with Toronto, hitting the Sony Centre on Saturday, November 27 2010. Arnie Roth will be conducting the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony through the 2-hour program featuring the compositions of Nobuo Uematsu, whom the event lists as being in attendance to boot.

If you’re in Toronto and interested, more information can be found here.

Your Taito Fun Fact

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: Bus, Space Invaders, Taito — Jamie Love @ 3:25 pm

Taito
I happened to be revisiting Taito’s page on Facebook today and was reminded about this picture of one sweet bus parked outside their Ebina Development Center that I’d seen earlier this month. Apparently there are two of these, used to take employees to and from the train station.

I’m pretty sure the streets here in Toronto would be a lot more fun with a few of these kicking around, but I’d also go for a Capybara themed ride if someone can make that happen.

Forests Of Eternity – The Art of Etrian Odyssey

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: Artbook, Atlus, DS, Etrian Odyssey III, Forests of Eternity, Pre-Order Bonus, RPG, The Drowned City — Jamie Love @ 3:20 pm

Following the tradition of Atlus spoiling their fans comes Forests of Eternity – your 60 page full-color artwork pre-order bonus for the upcoming DS RPG Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City. Atlus mentions that the book offers up character designs and concept art from the entire Etrian Odyssey series.

While I haven’t been keeping up with Etrian Odyssey much over the last month, I’m glad to see another artbook on the way, especially from the publisher responsible for my much cherished Knights in the Nightmare Tome of Lost Souls.

Etrian Odyssey III is set for release on September 21, 2010 btw.

Check out the full image here, or catch a virtual sample of the book over here.

Your Recommended Dose of Otomedius Excellent

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: Konami, Otomedius Excellent, SHMUP, Xbox 360 — Jamie Love @ 1:56 pm

At some point since E3 Konami has added a few precious art assets into their E3 press offerings for the Xbox 360 shmup surprise Otomedius Excellent – I know they weren’t there at the time because there’s simply no way I wouldn’t have posted them.

Anyway, since this will not stand, you can catch your semi-inappropriate dose for a game I’m exceedingly stoked about after the break, along with a video glimpse that has been around since E3 proper, just for good measure.

Deep Black

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: 505 Games, Biart Studio, Deep Black — Jamie Love @ 10:48 am

Proving that there are more titles in development than any one person could ever keep tabs on, 505 Games has announced plans to publish an underwater third-person action shooter for the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360, titled Deep Black, in the first quarter of 2011. For some reason the two screens available made me think of Dark Void underwater, and maybe how much developers seem to love playing with water in general.

The saga of underwater science-fiction is in development by Russian studio Biart, and if you’re interested in some idea of what it may look like in motion, their site has a video for a third-person shooter titled Underwater Wars (U-Wars), which I’ll go out on a limb and assume is the same game.

Biart was also responsible for Reef Aquarium on the PSP, so just for kicks there’s an extra dose of water-logged trailer to be had after the break.

Bite-Sized Bullet News – More Soldner-X 2

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: DLC, eastasiasoft, expansion pack, Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype, The Last Chapter — Jamie Love @ 8:48 am

Eastasiasoft has announced that the PlayStation 3 exclusive shooter sequel Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype is in fact not the final prototype, revealing plans to add a downloadable expansion pack to the title.

Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype – The Last Chapter will make a bid for your interest via three new stages, a new story ending, added challenges and trophies along with another difficulty mode, and a new soundtrack, with a release planned for the last quarter of 2010 – which gives me time to still try and catch up on a game that got lost in the shuffle of other releases for the last two months.

Trailer Park – The Last Story

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: Mistwalker, Nintendo, The Last Story, Wii — Jamie Love @ 8:19 am

Shocking coffee spilling early morning revelations occur as Nintendo offers up the first video glimpse of Mistwalker’s The Last Story – also known as one of two Japanese Wii RPG’s that need a fancy North American date.

Despite the long wait for footage, the game’s still carrying a 2010 release date for Japan, and you can catch a peak at a very fluid looking battle system after the break.
