Online for the arcade version of Pokkén Tournament is ending in Japan. The game launched in 2015 and online for arcades will cease from March 25. Shame about arcade online play, but the game is very good on the Switch.
The three-day Tales Festival, celebrating the Tales RPGs, has wrapped up in Japan. Fans seem disappointed that a new Tales console title wasn’t announced at this year’s event. There were, however, trailers for new mobile phone games (here, here, and here).
Bandai Namco announced BXD, a company that specializes in online games and smartphone compatible browser games. Three titles are slated for 2018 in Japan: a new Dragon Ball Z, a new Family Stadium, and a new Idolmaster. No word about international releases.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has been delayed. The game was originally slated for a 2017, but Namco Bandai has pushed it back to 2018, citing the need for extra time to finish the game. Better late than not ready!
A trailer marking twenty years of SoulCalibur just hit Namco Bandai’s Japanese YouTube channel. Wonder if that means a new title is around the corner. Who knows? Namco Bandai does, that’s who.
A mysterious Bandai Namco teaser site has popped up online. There’s a clock, some flames, and small text at the bottom that says PC and mobile content. Hrm.
