Ignition’s President Ajay Chadha told us at E3 they have a host of new IP in development. Maybe Dragon’s Crown is one of those titles.

Typical Japanese game trailer. Very shounen-esque with a great cheesy J-pop soundtrack blaring in the background. Time Hollow gave me a similar vibe when it was first announced. This…

Brownie (noun) – in folklore these helpful and hardworking elves do chores at night. Brownie Brown’s name is derived from these mythological creatures.
 
Before Brownie Brown opened its doors in June 2000 Shinichi Kameoka worked at Square on the Mana series. The studio’s core staff were also part of the Legend of Mana team. However, Brownie [...]

SNK did a decent job of distilling the action part of Metal Slug into a portable game. Metal Slug 7 is exactly what you would expect from the series: fast and furious 2D shooting. SNK stuck to their formula by keeping Metal Slug 7 a 2D platformer without shoving any forced touch screen control. [...]

We had our eye on Ignition since we knew they were going to publish Lux Pain. Today they officially announced the parasite searching adventure will come to North America in March 2009.

There is a canned “interview” with SNK floating around used to promote the US version of Metal Slug 7 which Ignition will release on November 18. SNK describes some of the missions in combat school, outlines the new slugs, but doesn’t say anything substantial like outlining the differences between the Xbox Live Arcade release. [...]

Ignition Entertainment isn’t just publishing AQ Interactive’s games. They also picked up Tornado from Success. While Tornado has no set release date in Japan I have a build of the US version in my possession. It’s pretty much complete with English text and all too. In Tornado you control Toki, an environmentally friendly space [...]

Ignition Entertainment aka AQ Interactive’s new best friend will take care of publishing Blue Dragon Plus in North America and Europe. While the game was released in Japan just a few weeks ago to dismal sales we’re not going to see Blue Dragon Plus this year. Shu’s quest to quell mysterious cubes is slated [...]
