Persona 3 Portable, if Atlus chooses to release it here, would be a third version of the game. Seems like a lot of Persona 3, but that’s nothing compared to one Persona 3 uber fan.

While Atlus doesn’t sell character goods in North America, their Japanese shop is filled to the brim with Persona plushies and Jack Frost beer mugs. Seriously!

Remember when Microsoft tried to sell Xbox 360 faceplates? None of them looked as good as this Magnacarta 2 faceplate with art from Hyung-Tae Kim.

Atlus has quite a few releases coming up, one of them being Knights in the Nightmare for DS. And as you’d expect of Atlus, they’re offering a swanky artbook titled “Tome of Lost Souls” to go with it as a pre-order incentive.

Sometimes press copies are bundled with swag. This isn’t anything new, but this is the first (and probably last) time I’ll get barbeque flavored worms with a game. Ignition’s copy of Lux-Pain came with Larvets: The Original Worm Snax, which are, no kidding, dried worms.   If you played Lux-Pain you probably get the reference. [...]

Almost all video game trailers focus on showing a game — that’s the point of a trailer. This clip released by Atlus takes a different approach, it highlights their Atlus Spoils goodies. Most Atlus games these days get the Atlus Spoils treatment with automatically bundled soundtracks and figures given to pre-orderers.   Free stuff is [...]

In less than a month Capcom’s next mega release will be in stores worldwide. A hotly anticipated game like Resident Evil 5 is bound to have a limited edition version, but this game is a special case. Capcom has no less than five Resident Evil 5 limited edition bundles. Each version comes with different stuff [...]

Usually, we don’t post up news about pre-orders, but a plush Raiho is at stake here! In the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2 – Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon announcement Atlus emphasized the initial run of the game which will be bundled with the stuffed Raiho is going to be rare.   How rare? Not [...]

Lots of stuff to justify the extra $30. Purchase the collector’s edition to get a Chris Redfield figurine, a Tricell messenger bag, BSAA patch, pendant of Africa with Kijuju writing, and a steel book case with even more Kijuju writing. Somewhere in the bundle is a game and a bonus disc with a Making of [...]

Later this month Dissidia: Final Fantasy comes out in Korea. It won’t be fully localized like Persona 4, believe it or not there is a Korean text version of Persona 4 there. Anyway, Korea gets Dissidia: Final Fantasy before us. As a bonus anyone that reserves the Korean version gets a Dissidia: Final Fantasy desktop [...]

If you’ve been keeping up with world news you may have heard of the Sichuan earthquake, which devastated a region of China last week. Individuals and corporations throughout Asia have been pitching in with donations including Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong. The branch put together auctions on eBay Hong Kong (which appear to be their [...]

Senjou no Valkyria better known as Valkyria Chronicles in other regions comes out in Japan next week. Sega is kicking off the launch with a promotional swag. If you purchase the PlayStation 3 game on April 24 (the release date) from select retailers like Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara you can bring a receipt to Sega [...]

When Persona 3 FES came out in Japan Konami released a snazzy bundle containing the game, a stuffed toy, poster and audio technical headphones similar in style to what the protagonist wore.   The full contents of the Persona 4 Konamistyle package have not been announced yet, but it will come with the stylish t-shirt [...]

So Big Daddy was walking around on the kitchen table scoping out a giant container of ADAM for his Little Sister when all of a sudden Generation 2 Megatron popped out and said, "STFU! That's my energon, jerk!"  So he blasted Big Daddy, causing him to fall and break his drill.  Big Daddy writhed in [...]

You might have a Phoenix Wright plushie, but only Japan gets Gyakuten Saiban playing cards. Maya, Mia and new characters from the Apollo Justice arc are featured as kings and queens or in Edgeworth’s case the number “3”. Phoenix and Apollo are aces. There is a super neat canon tie-in related to Apollo Justice: Ace [...]

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is old news for Japan and most of the world. It’s on the Japanese PlayStation store for anyone with 4,500 yen ($45) in their account to download. But if Japanese isn’t your forte and you can read Chinese perhaps the Asian version is a better bet. Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong [...]
