The title Infinite Loop makes perfect sense because it’s exactly what the PSP game does. The scenario loop system rotates through conversations and events until you pass them correctly. Good thing this isn’t an RPG.   Infinite Loop forgets combat…

Europe has been getting games from Nippon Ichi, mostly due to a strong relationship with Koei. They published the sudden influx of Gust RPGs, Grim Grimoire and soon Soul Nomad and the World Eaters. Unfortunately for the creators of Dynasty Warriors…

Don’t think Nippon Ichi has forgotten about the PSP just because they are developing DS titles too. On July 24th they will release Infinite Loop: Kojou ga Misete Yume (Infinite Loop: The Ancient Castle Seen in a Dream) in Japan.…

< Spencer’s note: In case you forgot about Mana Khemia: The Alchemists of Al-Revis it comes out today. We covered it before, but we’re trying something new, a liveblog style introduction to Mana Khemia to give you a feel for…

With Tori no Hoshi: Aerial Planet on the horizon it looks like Nippon Ichi is finally moving away from the PlayStation 2. In their next fiscal year (April 2008 - March 2009) their focus is the PSP, PlayStation 3 and the…
