Namco Bandai Offering Up More Than Expected At This Years London MCM Expo
With this year’s London MCM Expo just around the corner, some of the world’s top developers such as Nintendo, Capcom and Tecmo Koei are gearing up to show off their best work on the show floor for some friendly rivalry and more importantly to wow the public eye leaving us all aching for more.
One of the larger names we will no doubt hear from this year is Namco Bandai who will be showing off a huge number pre-released titles such as Soulcalibur V, Dark Souls and a number of top fighters like Naruto, Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya.
The newest addition to the critically acclaimed fighting game series; Soulcalibur V brings forth new warriors and returning legends as they battle it out once again in an epic struggle between good and evil set 17 years after the events of Soulcalibur IV.
Packed full of unnerving dungeons, fearsome enemies and intense battles scenes, fantasy action-RPG Dark Souls is the latest successor to the notoriously tough Demon’s Souls which as you may have guessed will most definitely be as challenging… who knows, they might even scrap the easy and medium difficulties and start you off on hard mode.
Anime beat-em-up Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations will offer one of the largest selection of playable characters spanning every generation of the Naruto universe alongside expanded online functionality.
The globally iconic anime Dragon Ball is also getting a new game, with Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi featuring an all new character creator mode that lets the player build their own hero or villain ultimately adding to the game’s already huge list of known and unknown characters.
Anime fans will also be itching to get their hands on Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle, a gripping new fighting game featuring Seiya and his companions who will fight side by side through 10+ levels to defeat the gold saints and protect Athena.
Alongside these highly anticipated games Namco Bandai will also be featuring a number of other games from various genres including Ridge Racer Unbounded and BEN 10 Galactic Racing.
