Here’s a New Knights in the Nightmare PSP Trailer

While I didn’t really pay attention much to this title when it came out on the DS last year, it is looking rather nice for strategy RPG enthusiasts. I can’t count myself among that crowd, but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating a nice-looking game! The PSP version of Knights in the Nightmare will be releasing this year, and Atlus has released a new trailer for the game, which you can check out after the break.

Atlus Showcases Hexyz Force Screens and Art

Hexyz Force is an upcoming RPG from developer Sting, being published by none other than the awesomeness that is Atlus.  It is an interesting RPG in that you take the role of two different characters with two completely different stories, which I’m assuming somehow relate to each other eventually.  Anyway, the PSP seems to be a hot place for some pretty good RPGs as of late, and this one sounds like it won’t be any different.  Hit the jump to take a look at the recently released screen shots and artwork, provided by Atlus.

Surely Impressed By This New Strange Journey Trailer

If I have any time at the end of March or beyond, perhaps I’ll have to dust off my DS and check the latest Shin Megami Tensei title out, because Atlus is sure making it look good.  They released this new trailer recently which focuses on some of the battle game play and will likely whet your appetitle for some dungeon-crawling JRPG goodness.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer, and don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments!

We Preview Trauma Team, Compliments of Atlus

The second streaming web demo I attended last week was for the follow-up to the Trauma Center franchise for the Wii, Trauma Team. In the full disclosure department, I have never played either the DS or Wii Trauma Center games, but in the last couple months, following the Trauma Team updates from Atlus, I have to say I was quite interested. The latest in the franchise expands the scope of the game from previous entries, which tended to focus on one surgical specailty. Trauma Team has six doctors, each with a different specialty, so this is looking to be the most versatile title in the series.

New Trauma Team Walkthrough Series Video – Forensics!

The Trauma Team Walkthrough Series continues to bring us further into the Wii title Trauma Team with this insightful view into the forensics missions.  Players will use the Wii remote to become criminal investigator Naomi Kimishima, an established Trauma Center character, solving mysterious crimes.  The tools used range from

Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition Gets Weapons!

Weapons have been added to the first-person brawler Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition coming to Xbox Live Arcade March 31, 2010.  You can check out the new weapons in all their glory in the trailer below.  The game will now feature a shotgun to knock your enemies back with while blood splatters all over your face, a ‘Roothammer’ for taking on those larger then life foes with, the spear which can be thrown or used to jab, and last but certainly not least the ‘Skullhammer’ to brutalize your enemies in style with.  Looks great Atlus, keep up the good work!

Atlus Gives Us a Glimpse of 3D Dot Game Heroes

From Software has been on the minds of many gamers recently, with their critically acclaimed and brutal take on the dark RPG genre, Demon’s Souls. This year they’re coming back into the realm of PS3 exclusivity with a more light-hearted title, 3D Dot Game Heroes. We were given the chance to sit in on a streaming online demo presented by Atlus’ manager of PR and sales, Aram Jabbari, and what a fine demo session it was! I have to get this out of the way first – I was slightly curious about 3D Dot Game Heroes before this demo, but it is going to be a definite part of my May game play sessions afterward. Yes, it looks that good!  Hit the jump to find out what was showcased during this demo

Questions for Atlus? Let’s Hear Them!

DualShockers will be attending a couple streaming web demo sessions with Atlus this week, featuring two of their upcoming titles.  The first is 3D Dot Game Heroes, a PS3 exclusive action RPG with a retro gaming flair.  The developers took inspiration most notably from the early Zelda games, but also other titles in our gaming  history, and built a modern take on that style.  The second game we’ll be checking out is Trauma Team, the upcoming Wii title featuring a host of doctors, surgical types and, no doubt, a lot of investigation and meddling around in the virtual insides of virtual people.

Shiren: The Wanderer for Wii is Now Available!

Shiren: The Wanderer is now available for the Nintendo Wii!  This Mystery Dungeon game is the newest chapter in the long lasting Shiren series.  Wii owners can expect lots of storyline in this title and innovation to the genre.  The game is also accessible to gamers who may have never heard of the series.  You can travel to this epic adventure in feudal Japan today.  Among notable features you will also gain access to a 1,000 floor dungeon crawling challenge making this game considerably well stocked in replay value.  Visit the developer diary to see some screens and get more information on the post-game dungeon challenge.

Watch Knights in the Nightmare’s Opening Video

One of the big advantages to porting a title like Knights in the Nightmare from the Nintendo DS to the PSP is that you can toss in a lot more quality video sequences, given that the storage capacity of a UMD is about a gazillion times that of a DS cartridge.  Sting Entertainment, the developers behind this Norse-related strategy RPG, likely had this in mind when moving the game over to Sony’s hand-held.  The opening cinematic looks mighty spiffy (be you haven’t heard that term in a while).  If you’re an RPG fan and didn’t play the DS version, perhaps it is time to look into trying this one out when it finally releases, compliments of Atlus.  Check out the video below and let us know what you think.

First Screens of Zero Clash Fighter: Ultimate Edition!

Good news Xbox 360 players!  The first-person, melee fighter Zeno Clash Fighter: Ultimate Edition is being published by Atlus on your system!  This game is based on the indie hit Zeno Clash on PC.  The game will be released for Xbox LIVE Arcade March 31st and we’ve got the very first screens to show off its style.  With any luck this game might this Morrowind-esque looking brawler land on the PlayStation Network at some future date?  Let us know what you think about this upcoming title.  In my opinion its definitely looks good, worth researching.  Enjoy the new screens!

Atlus Graces Us With New Strange Journey Screens

The next game in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise is coming upon us quickly – March 23 to be exact.  Strange Journey is set to grace Nintendo’s hand-held system and will likely give us a deep, rewarding RPG experience just like previous titles in the series.  Today Atlus released several new images from the title that should help hold fans over until the game hits next month.  I’m still waiting for a hand-held RPG to really capture my attention, because I’m not much of a portable gamer.  But, hey, if anyone can do it, Atlus can!

Keep in mind, every copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey will come packaged with a limited edition soundtrack CD, as well as the game itself.  If you’re a collector of game music, especially for Atlus’ games, this is definitely something to check out.  You don’t even need to pre-order, just go to the store on release day and pick up a copy.  Don’t wait too long, though, as there might be a limited number of launch day copies.  Enough with this rambling, the screens are below!
