Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition Gameplay

When this game was announced, the internet was shocked, confused and excited, all at the same time. With good reason, i think this is the one Pokemon game no one saw coming.

Some gameplay footage has finally surfaced and it is looking pretty good. It’s a wonder it has taken so long for a Pokemon game in this vein to come to fruition, seeming it more or less goes hand in hand with the style of gameplay.

I still don’t like the chance of this game seeing a English release. Too bad though, i could see this being a gateway into the other Nobunaga style games for Pokemon fans in the west, they could create an entirely new market!

Random Note: I never realised how big the DSI XL was until today. It’s kind of temping to get one to play DS games on, seeming they lose almost all sharpness on the 3DS.

Revoltech Alphone Elric, Who is surprised?

Following the release of some new images of the Edward Revoltech is the little, bigger brother Alphonse.

It’s just one image, but i have to say, i like what i see. Out of the two brothers, it is clear who is more suited too the action figure treatment.

Here’s hoping the final product keeps up with this one promo pic. Let’s also hope they include ‘Bad Ass’ Alphonse from his fight vs Kimberly and Pride.

No news on release or price, but i am sure that will appear sooner or later. I wonder who else from FMA will get the Revoltech treatment?

Until now, Cybergundam blog has posted some new images, that not only show Edward in more detail, but also what accessories he will be coming with.

Ryoko Kaminagi by Alter Preview

Ryoko Kaminagi is a character i have always remembered, which is quite the feat considering her  generic school girls design.

Yet amongst all the green and purple haired vixens which make up anime heroines, she has managed to earn a place in my top five of all time.

Tony Taka 2012 Calendar

For a long while, I was never really one to bother with calendars, I mean, I never really saw the point. That of course was until a few years ago where I got my first anime B2 sized calendar.

Suddenly Calendars were not about keeping track of the actual date, they were just another poster, this one had a purpose, thinly veiled as it was. So began the tradition of getting a new anime themed calendar each year, titles from Code Geass to Soul Eater have had the privilege to grace my walls.

Come 2012 though, I was finding myself not really into any of the designs. They were either uninspired or quite simply, not of a series I liked. Then I came across the Tony Taka(T2) Select Calendar.
