Namco Bandai announces 3 games for the West this year

Namco Bandai has announced 3 games for localizations and releasing this year ( they confirmed more game announcements still in-coming soon )

1- Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 for PS4, Xbox One and PC Releasing this Fall

2- Saint Seiya: Soldier’s Soul for PS4, PS3 and PC Releasing this Fall

3- Project X Zone 2 Releasing this Fall for 3DS

Project X Zone was a huge waste of potential, I hope something goes right with the second.

I'm looking forward to project x zone2.

I played the demo and had no idea what I was doing lol. Surprised it's getting a sequel though, that's cool.

@Slashkice: Or God Eater.

Although, I did like Project x Zone for the fanservice aspect and the strategy battle aspect, it just took time to get used to and afterwards got kind of tedious but it was still a good 7 game for me.

Besides, I'll take any game that keeps Sakura Wars in relevance. ;_;

Oh yeah i want them to bring God Eater 2 to PS4 over and would love to see Tales of Zesteria on PS4.

Plus we may just may get a new Star Ocean game as Square Enix are teasing for a game to be revealed next week

Mehlicious.

I'm hoping we hear something about Tales of Zestiria soon. (Still want it on Steam. Hell, I paid money just to say that it should be on Steam)

That Saint Seiya feels like it's using the same engine as Xenoverse.

@anthonyautumns: Both games are from Dimps. That should explain enough.

this game?

ps4thegamers i love anime i love anime games

microsoft what are u doing where are u where arare u lookat the ps4

Cool, a new Project X Zone. The first one was cool. Enjoyed the battles and strategy even though the strategy aspect was easy. Some of the later battles just dragged on waaaaay too long though.

Whatever happened to the North American localization of Tales of Zestiria? Last we heard it was planned for summer 2015.

Were did you hear this? I just hope they learned some lessons about annoying characters and inconvenient save points from Last Hope.

@Postosuchus: They're probably keeping quiet because they don't know if they want to release the game on PC or not. Hell, Rise of Incarnates is still in early access, so they probably won't make the decision too soon.

Are those games?

@flashn00b: I certainly hope the existence of a PC Zestiria isn't dependent on that game! If anything Xenoverse's performance should provide encouragement; as I recall that title was the top seller on Steam until Skylines came by and knocked it off.

@Postosuchus: Knowing Japan's lack of faith in PC gaming, PC Zestiria will most likely depend on Rise of Incarnates' success just as how Disgaea on Steam depended on Cladun X2's success. Don't forget that Bandai Namco Studio hasn't developed anything on PC prior to ROI. Also, why would a Dimps game decide the fate of a BNS game on Steam?

1. Meh

2. Meh

3. Interesting

A new Project X Zone would be interesting.

Doesnt look like games I'd play.

Really? i had a lot of fun with it...sure it was repetitive but i thought it was very fun to play it once in a while...i mean it took me months to finished it.

Anyway, i'm very interested on Saint Seiya, hopefully they fix all the flaws that Brave Soldiers had, i mean it was a good effort but it felt rushed and it lacked so many things, it was a proper fanservice game but the franchise deserves more, so i'm really excited to see what are they doing with this new game.

Also Project x Zone 2 ? count me in, i really liked the first game.

I just realized they haven't announced anything regarding Tales of Zestiria. Hmmm.

Big pile of meh. But Saitn Seiya atleast shows Scamco is willing to support Steam. Gives me confidence that the next Souls on PC will be well optimized, like DS2

preparing for the shocking news of the ps4/pc version coming to the west

@deadline-zero0: Knowing how well Rise of Incarnates is doing on Steam, a TOZ PC announcement would indeed be shocking.

Not sure what RoI has too do with this. All of Namco's latest console games have been coming to Steam, with ever increasing quality of port. Xenoverse can go all the way to 4K and 60fps, while the console versions are stuck at 30.

Now Saint Seiya is coming too, even with an xbox version missing.

Plus, there's this

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/tales-of-zestiria-leaked-for-steam-31871583/

@deadline-zero0: That's what I am assuming will happen. Personally I hope that is true. The more Japanese games show up on PC, the better it is for me in the long run.

The PC support is nice

@deadline-zero0: Rise of Incarnates is from the same developer as Tales. Those Namco games that were previously on Steam are Namco games in the same sense that Tomb Raider is a Square-Enix game, whereas Rise of Incarnates is a Bandai Namco game in the same sense that Square-Enix is a Final Fantasy game. Unless we're suddenly saying that FFXV will be on Steam based on how well Life Is Strange does...

Also, Bandai Namco Studio (the guys who made Tekken, Tales of, and other franchises they want you to forget about) hasn't done anything on PC until RoI. If Nippon Ichi Software's Cladun X2 is of any indication, a Japanese dev's first PC game can easily be their last. More likely than not, Saint Seiya is heading to Steam because Dimps was more than satisfied with how well DB Xenoverse did.

Yeah Project X Zone was good. Blab is full of it as usual when discussing anything 3DS related. :)

I'm semi-interested in Project X Zone 2. Fan service galore.

Whatever happened to that other Namco X game?

@finalstar2007: God Eater and Zestiria will probably both get announcements within the coming months.

As long as Zestiria gets a US release date on PS4, I'm happy. The last Tales game on PS3, Xillia 2, ran poorly with a lot of pop ins and memory lag.

That's a lot of crap.

@finalstar2007:

No tales of Zestria? I thought that was coming out this summer? :(

(to be fair i still need to beat xillia (1/2 way done), Xillia 2, Symphonia chronicles collection, and Abyss. I don't own graces f and I am near the end of Hearts r. Hearts R is amazing by the way... )

Never understood the appeal of Naurto or dragon ball z. They look so blocky and badly animated. Maybe it's because I was over 20 when they came out , but they look like crap shows and crap games.. I thought they were just a kids cartoon... you know like pokemon :P

Yay?

Project X Zone 2 excites me, I really liked the last game on 3DS, never played Namco x Capcom before it. Anyhow, I've mixed feelings on this, not much of the roster excites me, and people in the first game like Frank West or the Resonance of Fate characters are missing. Still, maybe I'll come to like this roster, or maybe they'll add more before release. I will say, they really missed out if they're not thinking of putting Bayonetta, partner her with Jeanne and maybe Rose or Rodin for support would be cool. Sega could also allow for use of the Persona characters since Atlus is now a subsidiary. That'd be really cool.

I dunno how far we are from Project X Zone's release, but i'd like to think that Monolith Soft should joke about including stuff from Company of Heroes and Impossible Creatures.

only thing I care about on that list is naruto. Games are simple but pretty and fun.

Hell, Bandai won't even localize One Piece: Super Grand Battle X and the Dragon Ball game developed by Arc System Works, and those have me more interested than that Naruto game.

Just announced btw lol Star Ocean 5 for PlayStation 4 and 3

And yet Tekken has been heavily hinted for PC, like all fighters.

Namco, like many big publishers, can be quite dumb, but they're massive support to PC is obvious. Besides, RoI is a F2P fighter (according to wikipedia), so i don't see a correlation.

Also, NIS's Claudian X2has nothing to do with it.

And like i posted, there was Steam Database file, which tend to be correct.

Still mad over no Shin Gundam Musou having no Vita version. **** you Namco.

@deadline-zero0: One could say that Cladun X2 has nothing to do with Disgaea, and yet it's the very reason why the Disgaea franchise will never be on Steam. Should Rise of Incarnates fail, it will be very likely for Bandai Namco Studio to give up on PC gaming because they would fail to see why Steam is profitable like how NIS gave up on the platform.

@flashn00b: So you have no proof that NIS gave up on PC because of Claudian X2, just because.

First off, we don't know if Disgaea will end up on PC.

Second, you seem to be forgetting that Namco has, unlike NIS, foudn major sucess on PC and is releasing more and more games on the platform, with better and better optimization. This is has a publishers, so why would they not do it with one of their biggest franchises?

And thrid, like i said, Steam database entry

@deadline-zero0: Isn't the lack of sales since the 40% off on December 2012 enough proof?

Publisher =! Developer. Our best bet at getting a Bandai Namco Studio game on steam is to support a Bandai Namco Studio game already on Steam.

Basically fanservice, but yeah.

Now I wonder if I should get Hyrule Warriors.

I just hope that shocking news isn't "the game will be no longer be released on west".
