Video Game Ad of the Day: Soul Calibur
by Matt Keller on Aug.04, 2011, under Video Game Ad of the Day
Probably the best looking launch title ever. Certainly raised my expectations for what to expect from the Dreamcast.
Soul Calibur is the second game in Namco’s Soul series. Originally released into the arcades in 1998, Namco decided to rebuild it from the ground up for the Dreamcast, creating a game with visuals that surpassed everything that was available at that time. This ad is for the French release of the game.
Rally-X Rumble is your next Namco Generations title?
by Matt Keller on Aug.03, 2011, under News
With the success of Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (which is totally awesome) and Galaga Legions DX, Namco is showing no signs of stopping with its new Namco Generations series of arcade reimaginings.
In fact, Siliconera has revealed that Namco registered a trademark in Europe for “Rally-X Rumble“. Rally-X was a maze-based driving game that was mildly popular in the early 1980s, but vastly overshadowed by Pac-Man and its ilk.
A company registering a trademark doesn’t necessarily guarantee that a game is happening, but it’s always a good sign.
