The guys at FinalFantasyXIII.net got their hands on the latest issue of Shonen Jump and we now have new scans for Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PS3). From the looks of it, the Japanese gaming mag made a feature on the Espers, putting Alexander and a Chocobo taking center stage.

We can now officially say that Bleach: Soul Carnival 2 will indeed be coming to the PSP, thanks to the confirmation sent out by SCEJ themselves. Scheduled for release this winter, Sony Japan's latest PSP offering hit the latest issue of Shonen Jump via scans.

Hot on the heels of last week's Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep scan from Famitsu which featured the addition of Lilo & Stitch, Shonen Jump also has their own Birth By Sleep scoop in the form of the PSP title's Japanese release date.

This Thursday, Japan will wake up to greet Namco Bandai's Tales of VS to sprinkle more joy onto their PSPs. But before that, Shonen Jump's latest issue dishes out one last barrage of info that's sure to get all you fans excited. This issue gives out the official announcement of a special website for players. What's it for? Why, for the "SP Battle", of course! And more, much more.

While the Japs await the September release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force 4 in their region, a scan from the latest Shonen Jump magazine reveals some more info for the upcoming title. Hit the link to find out what's in store.

Three more characters from various Tales titles are coming over to join in on the adventure in Tales of VS. Who could they be? You don't need to think about it long and hard. They are Kohak Hearts from Tales of Hearts, Farah Oersted of Tales of Eternia and Caius Qualls from Tales of Tempest.

Wow, there are lots of new game announcements (leaks?) in this week's crop of Japanese gaming mags. We've seen God Eater and Minna no Sukkiri -- both for the PSP. Now here's one for the DS: a new Final Fantasy game laid bare in the new Weekly Shonen Jump issue. Yes, this is the new game that Square Enix has been teasing us about for the past few days. Details and a scan after the jump.

In a week filled with industry news, we ended up with a rather sparse recap of the big PSP-specific news that graced the QJ.NET PSP blog. The PSP Go -- or rather, retailers who are feeling a bit miffed by Sony's decision to go download-only for the Go -- was there to pick up the slack. Game-wise, we got a couple more updates as Capcom gears up for this week's Monster Hunter Freedom Unite release as well as more import news and some pre-order goodies for Dissidia, as if fans didn't have enough reason to buy it. Read on for the rest of the PSP Weekend Warrior!

Thanks to Japanese magazine Shonen Jump, we finally gain a peek at the first screens of Bleach: Soul Carnival 2, at least via scans. Still carrying a TBA release date for Japan, and no word on whether it will even cross to Western shores, I say this is still a cool treat, especially for Bleach: Soul Carnival fans.

Did you know? There will be a new Naruto Shippuden game coming out for the Wii. Thanks to the latest issue of Japanese magazine Shonen Jump, we finally have a confirmation - as well as details - on the new Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3.
