Just out of the presswire, it looks like Namco Bandai won't be the only publisher with a four-game booth. At least, that's what the announcements have been telling us so far.

Lately, several gaming bigwigs in Japan have shown growing concern that the West is outstripping development from their end.

Square Enix to the rescue! Squeenix prez Yoichi Wada suggested that to remain competitive against Western companies, gaming companies in Japan should consider forming an alliance.

According to Sony's TGS 2008 line-up Dissidia: Final Fantasy is listed as both a UMD disc and a downloadable game on the PlayStation Store. Let's hope this is true, and that it'll be available for regions other than Japan as well.
