Last week, Namco Bandai held a Global Gamer Day press event in Las Vegas. At the event, the company made a number of announcements from an enhanced version of Dark Souls for PC to Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for consoles, as well as localizations of more Japan-centric games like Ni no Kuni and One Piece: Pirate Warriors. Siliconera was at the event, and we scoured the floor for information on these games. Yesterday, after the press embargo on the event lifted, we were able to present our findings. Here’s a rundown of the stuff you may find interesting:
