Wangan Midnight fans rejoice: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) is now taking the highly-acclaimed racing series from the arcades and your living room to your very own handheld, with Wangan Midnight Portable for the Sony PSP. With this newest Namco Bandai and Genki game, you can experience the BlackBird and the Midnight Blue Devil Z facing off against each other once more in the longest stretch of road in Japan. We'll also see the epic battle in action in the Japanese trailer of Wangan Midnight Portable in the video below.

Not just a mere racing game on the Sony PlayStation Portable, Wangan Midnight Portable aims to bring the high-octane intensity that the anime series and its previous video games offered. Characters from the show make their first-ever debut on the Sony PSP, each with his or her own signature vehicles and personalities - including the mysterious Doctor Tatsuya Shima and his Porsche 911, as well as main protagonist Akio Asakura with his Nissan Fairlady Z S30Z. Add to that already-awesome mix some heated racing action, and you've got yourself a keeper.

Check out the video below. Enjoy!

Here's the latest character artwork update for the upcoming fighting game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 from the official site The Sparking! METEOR. These characters were all created by artist Akira Toriyama and should all be playable when the title is finally released this holiday season.

This batch of artworks focus mainly on Super Saiyan characters such as Bardock and Celipa. There are also some renditions of Freeza's brother Cooler when he's in metal form. Amidst all those powerful beings, there is one character that caught our attention. And he is no other than Mr. Satan himself.

Mr. Satan is considered strong for a human being but will definitely have a hard time keeping up with other Dragon Ball Z characters. So we can't help but wonder what skills and powers Mr. Satan has to offer to DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 players?

Well, if you remember your Dragon Ball Z universe well, Mr. Satan was "indirectly" responsible for destroying the wild and evil Kid Buu. What he did was convince everyone to give power to Goku's Genki Dama. So with this kind of luck and charisma on his side, maybe Mr. Satan does have something new to offer.

We guess we'll just wait for Namco Bandai to release DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 to know once and for all.

If you haven't grabbed Kengo: Legend of the 9 for Microsoft's Xbox 360 yet, a gameplay video might be what you need to decide if Majesco Entertainment and Genki's video game is worth the bucks. Prepare to engage in sword-clashing samurai action set in feudal era Japan because this will be wild.

The video shows how environmental factors come into play. Throw your enemies down the water or slam them to solid walls - the choice is yours. Effective use of surroundings can turn the tide of battle before enemy goons can say "harakiri."

Time to draw blood. Make sure to watch the video of Kengo: Legend of the 9 below.

 

Kengo Zero, or may be more known to many as Kengo: Legend of the 9, first arrived in Japanese shores September of last year. The title is actually the fourth entry in the relatively successful Kengo franchise from development studio Genki.

It was announced a couple of months ago that it will be released in North America and Europe this fall. To help you guys become more familiar with the game, here are a couple of new screenshots for Kengo Zero, straight from its publisher Majesco Entertainment.

Judging from this new batch, we have to say that Genki still hasn't lost its touch in providing gamers with quality titles set in Feudal Japan. Since this is the first time that this particular iteration is gaining popularity in other markets, details are still rather scarce as of now.

We only know that the objective of the game is to become the best damn samurai warrior in the land. There will also be several character customization options as well as a two-player head-to-head mode. For those who care about background stories in any particular game, you are also covered because Kengo Zero also sports an exciting mission mode.

As always, enjoy the screenshots for now until we give you the next update.

If you're going to purchase Lumines Live!, then you may have a chance to save our planet. Apparently, the developer and publisher of the game, Q Entertainment, has hooked up with Live Earth. This organization is dedicated to preserving our planet from global warming and mass climate changes.

To help out, you can purchase the Tokyo Club Mix Pack (also known as the SOS Charity Campaign Pack) for a paltry 350 Microsoft points on Xbox Live between June 27 and July 17. A portion of your purchase will then be donated to "climate protection NGOs and causes."

The downloadable content will net you four new beats and visuals from four DJs, artists, and even VJs. It includes "Heavenly Star - SOS Remix" by Genki Rockets, "House66" by Sugiurumn, "4x4 Bricks" by Techriders, and "Cosmic Humming" by Muku.

If you own Lumines Live, there is no reason (aside from being broke perhaps) not to log on and purchase this pack. Aside from getting the cool skins and beats, you'll be saving the planet in the process. Now that's what we call a perfect combo.

Majesco Entertainment has announced that Genki's Kengo Zero is now slated for a fall release in the UK. Reminiscent of the old Bushido Blade series for the Sony PlayStation, Kengo Zero drops players smack dab in the middle of feudal Japan. The mission? Become the best samurai warrior in the land.

"Kengo Zero's stunning high definition graphics bring the game's nine real samurai to life," said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. "With its 2-player head-to-head mode, attribute upgrades and fighter customization, Kengo Zero gives every player the opportunity to be the fighter they want to be and to test their metal against the very best."
