Pokémon Black and Pokemon White are about to be released in Japan and some changes from previous. The game will also have major graphical change with over 600 different pokémon, each having individually created animations.

Recent details on Nippon Ichi Software’s (NIS) new game, Criminal Girls, have been released. Four girls have been introduced: Ran, Yuko, Sako, and Shin.

With the release of Final Fantasy Legends in Japan, the unique job system has been revealed. As in many Final Fantasy games, players can switch between various jobs like warrior, monk, and mage; however, unlike those games, Final Fantasy Legends allows players to retain skills from various jobs.

This unique job system will allow players to customize their characters, regardless of job limitations.
