Do you like airplanes? Do you like anime stereotypes? Then The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is what you’ve been waiting for! XSEED released the above trailer, featuring lots of awesome planes, and lots of inexplicably young people flying them. Well, not inexplicably — though the details may constitute a spoiler, there is a really weird explanation for everyone’s age. Beyond “it’s anime.”
The Sky Crawlers will be one of the first Wii releases of 2010 — it’s due out on January 5.

XSEED’s Half-Minute Hero is all about compressing game genres, including RPG, RTS, and shmups, down into 30-second increments. So it’s only appropriate that a price drop on the game is also under a strict time limit, as it is with this Amazon Deal of the Day. For today only (or until Amazon runs out), the game is marked down to $18.98.
Sure, it would be even more appropriate if the sale only lasted half a minute, but then we wouldn’t have time to write this post about it and tell you. Our post would look more like this: “hey guys haflmintue hero on sale cheap amazonlike 19 bucks”

Ignition Entertainment has somehow done it again: snagged a Marvelous game out of XSEED’s announced lineup. Arc Rise Fantasia, which XSEED announced plans to localize in late 2008, and which was still in XSEED’s slate as of E3, has been picked up by Ignition Entertainment for release in summer 2010. The turn-based RPG is developed by Sands of Destruction’s imageepoch. New screens (in our gallery) accompany the announcement.
When Ignition picked up another previously-announced XSEED Wii title, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, XSEED told Joystiq that Marvelous was taking proposals from publishers and made the final decision to go with Ignition well after XSEED began promoting the title. At the time, we thought that was an anomaly.

AQ Interactive’s Korg DS-10 Plus will make its way to North America, XSEED announced today. The update to the original DS cart (which was already super complicated) adds even more stuff for the wannabe mixer on the go — specifically, twice as many analog synthesizers (now up to four) and drum synthesizers (now up to eight), the ability to use twelve tracks and real-time editing including “per-track MUTE/SOLO built into the SONG mode and EDIT/PLAY enabled for all modes within the SONG mode.” DSi owners will also get the added perk of an extra two effects layers.
The improved synthesizer suite will also have wireless functionality, allowing up to eight systems to play together or share samples and Daft Punk songs with each other.

Okay, so it’s pretty clear all of us are going to buy Half-Minute Hero. The only questions left are: when? And how? XSEED’s bringing the clever micro-RPG game to retail stores on October 13th, with a digital PSN release to follow one week later on October 22nd. “Timing is just off for whatever reason,” we were told by a PR representative.
Half-Minute Hero’s bite-sized gameplay makes it an ideal game to throw on your Memory Stick. But, will gamers have the patience to wait an entire week for the PSN version? By our calculations, you could play Half-Minute Hero over 25,000 times on UMD before the PSN version comes out!

Click to see full bento box. Warning: may cause incredible jealousy and/or hunger.Making a video game is no easy task. XSEED’s Christine Nakashima had been working long hours on the Wii game, Little King’s Story. Thankfully, someone noticed her effort! Her sister stayed up late one evening, making a Japanese-style “bento” box for Christine, featuring various characters from the game. Perhaps we have a bias for looking at adorable things … and then eating them, because this looks far more appetizing than Little King Story’s other food promotion.

Hopefully the decision to ship
JU-ON: The Grudge on
Rocktober October 13 — as
revealed by Nintendo — won’t prove an unlucky one for publisher XSEED. Yes, the game will be met at retail by the likes of
Brütal Legend and
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, but the “haunted house simulator” possesses something those games don’t (we think): The ability to kill you one week after you play it. Oh, wait — that was the tape from
The Ring, wasn’t it? Still,
JU-ON will probably manage to scare up some sales.

XSEED announced the release date for the localized version of RIZ-ZOAWD, now more sensibly (but less intriguingly) titled The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Players will be rolling Dorothy and co. around the land of Oz with a virtual trackball starting September 29. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about that date is that it isn’t Spring 2010.
Beyond the Yellow Brick Road combines the Oz setting and characters with a JRPG design, resulting in something that is, well, really weird.

If you read the headline carefully enough, you’ll notice that there is more than one demo coming out for the upcoming PSP Half-Minute Hero. However, the first demo will be available on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. It’s quite possibly the zaniest game to hit the platform in a long time, forcing players to vanquish evil in 30 second bursts (seriously!). Hero mode is just one of four different modes hidden in the full game.
It’s hard to effectively describe the frantic gameplay through words. Thankfully, you can completely ignore our opinions and just give the demo a spin.

When I started Cing/Town Factory’s Little King’s Story, I expected to find a cute, very charming little strategy game whose flaws prevented it from greatness, like most games this heavy on the quirkiness factor. I was blindsided by how much fun I continued to have through hours of play. It’s rare for a game to be this cute and odd, but also this good. I found this game utterly magical, and I hate strategy games.
