Idea Factory’s new otome title, Arcobaleno! captured my attention the minute I saw it. I’ll admit I haven’t really played too many otome games, but how often do you see such nice-looking cover art?

Sega squeaked out one more Bayonetta trailer before we get our hands on the game at E3. The clip shows some of her other weapons like missile launchers and an enemy witch just as agile as Bayonetta.

In addition to Mobile Light Force, Final Fantasy VII was also rated by the ESRB as a PlayStation 3 and PSP game. That makes it a candidate as a downloadable PlayStation Classic on the PlayStation Store.

An online enabled version of Gunstar Heroes will arrive on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade right after E3. The game hits PSN on June 11 and XBLA a day earlier.

What’s your guiltiest gaming pleasure? The one game you absolutely adored, but can’t believe you actually enjoyed?

Nikkei Net reports that Nintendo plans to release a new Mario game in the second half of the year. No specifics were mentioned. Should we get excited?

NIS America is shuffling Phantom Brave: We Meet Again’s release date from June 16 to August 4. The extra time will be used to add a Japanese voiceover option to the game.

The system has a pop up 3.8″ screen with the buttons underneath it, similar to a Sidekick. It’s 43% lighter than the PSP-3000, has 16GB of flash memory, bluetooth support, and no UMD drive.

Square Enix announced Nier this morning, but didn’t divulge details. This trailer shows a lot more of the game, introduces the hero who looks like a Viking, and the shadowy creatures he fights.

Xseed just unloaded their secret titles. Atlus? They’re waiting until June 2nd to tell us their plan for 2009. In an e-mail with the subject “Atlus + E3 2009 = Win” they tease “other surprises?”

Not sure if this is spoiler material, but Square Enix announced three “secret” characters in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Secret is in quotes because they have been sort of revealed and they won’t surprise you.

First revelation from this batch of Tales of Vs. media is you can create a match with four of the same character. Since this is a fighting game it isn’t a complete surprise, but seeing four Lukes on the screen is still funny.

I’m desperately trying not to voice my actual thoughts and think of something insightful to say about this trailer, but I really can’t.

The sequel to Nanashi no Game, Nameless Game: The Eye, includes the RPG of the dammed and a cursed platformer that sort of looks like I Wanna Be The Guy.
