Namco Bandai To Exhibit New Releases At Anime Expo |
Ó
"Up in the sky - a man in a plane -
Baron von Richtofen was his name
Eighty men tried - and eighty men died
Now they're buried together in the countryside."
If you recognized this as "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron" by the 1960's pop group, The Royal Guardsmen, you're either a lot older than most readers of this blog - or you must really kick butt at Trivial Pursuit.
Gross historical inaccuracies aside (the real Manfred von Richtofen was neither an evil villain nor a "chivalrous knight" of the skies - he was simply a loyal soldier who happened to do his job exceptionally well), Charles Schultz' playful take on the Peanuts character Snoopy pretending to be a World War I flying ace, dueling with the "Bloody Red Baron" in the war-torn skies over France ca. 1917 was beloved by two generations of children.
Game developer Namco Bandai's introduction of this legend to a new generation in its coming PSP/PS2 release Snoopy vs. The Red Baron may be old news (you can read about that one here), but they'll be exhibiting several other new titles at the upcoming Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. The expo will take place June 1st to 4th and Namco Bandai will be occupying Booth #111.
Additional upcoming releases planned for the exhibit include Mobile Ops™: The One Year War, Naruto™: Ultimate Ninja, Zatchbell!™: Mamodo Fury, .hack//G.U. Vol.1: Rebirth™,One Piece™: Grand Adventure, One Piece™: Pirates' Carnival and Eureka Seven™ Vol. 1: The New Wave, Xenosaga® EPISODE III: Also sprach Zarathustra, Tales of the Abyss™, and the eagerly awaited Pac-Man World Rally™.
You can check out some screenshots from PMWR below...I don't know about you, but to me they bear an uncanny resemblance to a game that was pre-loaded on my old i-Mac, Cro-Magnon Rally.
