News that at least might matter:
Sengoku BASARA 2: Braves' Side Story (PS2 & Wii; Capcom; 11/29)
* Three additions to combo system:
Fever Drive: Takes effect for 10 seconds after a particular combo length, works the same as Sengoku Drive
* Seal System: Hit an enemy with a "sealing" attack, and their life bar will glow gold. Hit them with a normal attack after and you get the opportunity for extra attack.
* Combo count during co-op keeps going up as long as at least one player is kicking ass at any one time
Idolm@ster Live For You! (Xbox360; Bandai Namco; 08/2/28) icecream in [url="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8597311&postcount=13]#13[/url]
-The player is a special type of Producer: chosen from among the fans, he gets a 1 day shot at being Producer.
-Kotori Otonashi will be on hand to assist the Producer
-During the Live performance one has to choose between options such as 'Support' or 'Photograph' with 'support' options including cheering, or secondary instrumental A/B.
Monster Hunter Portable 2ndG (PSP; Capcom; 3/13)
* "All data that isn't gamebreaking will carry over"; you can change sex, at which point sex-specific gear will also change.
* While hunting, an otomoail can be brought along, limited to one in single-player. There are many different types, with different patterns and abilities. Ther can be trained in the Ail Kitchen.
* G-class quests are unlocked, and other upper-rank quests are added, including the top-rank "Village Chief" quest from Necote.
* New monsters "Lightning Dragon Nargagarga", "Soaring Dragon Yamatsukami". Nargagarga looks like Tigarex in the body, and has a black panther motif (including face). Palette swap of Daimyo Uzaza also appears.
* New field "Deep Forest" in addition to previously-seen Volcano, Dunes, Cliffs, Forbidden Woods.
* On sharpness gauge, purple is now above white
* Mail for paint added.
* Lightning-elemental gunlance added.
* New varieties of hunter's pipes added

Next Week

Is it better to post news updates in new posts, where people think there's no news in the OP, or in the OP, where people don't see it for lack of bump?
