    Initially i desired to get into speak to with Flight-Plan but when i lastly found the website link for the website, it explained the servers could not be found. Eventually, right after translating by way of Japanese pages, apparently Flight-Plan is out of business. So my only other hope is to get into speak to with NAMCO BANDAI Game Titles Inc. in Japan (NOT the American one….i want to speak to them about a Japanese only primarily based sport so it would be pointless to speak to the American one, in my opinion.) So much i can only find an e-mail for the American primarily based buildings.

    Flight-Plan website link: http://www.flight-plan.jp/~fp/index.html
    The information report about Flight-Plan: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://jin115.com/archives/51758811.html&ei=TMlTTtLdHuGKsALcwOmjBw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CGEQ7gEwBg&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25E3%2583%2595%25E3%2583%25A9%25E3%2582%25A4%25E3%2583%2588%25E3%2583%25BB%25E3%2583%2597%25E3%2583%25A9%25E3%2583%25B3%2B%25E3%2583%2595%25E3%2583%25A9%25E3%2582%25A4%25E3%2583%2588%2B%25E3%2583%2597%25E3%2583%25A9%25E3%2583%25B3%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1179%26bih%3D566%26prmd%3Divns
    (apparently it was destroyed when that earthquake/Tsunami occurred =/ )

    So if anyone could provide me with a way to contact the Publishers of the Summon Evening series ( Flight-Plan had been the developers) I would be quite happy.

    I feel Sq. Enix since they have a significantly greater style. First of all the Square Enix logo tends to make sense. Nevertheless the Namco Bandai logo just is confusing. Take a seem at how the names are put. Bandai is previously mentioned Namco. It must be the other way around. Consider the Namco Bandai emblem and try and change it around using paint. When you finally get it carried out flawlessly it seems ten situations better. Its Namco Bandai not Bandai Namco. Also how Square Enix publishes game titles just seems to be better. I imply Namco Bandai has this white block factor around their logo and it says Games underneath it. That just looks stupid. They must just place their emblem on the game, not some white box about it and the owrd games. Also Square Enix truly brings the games we want from them to the US. In Contrast To Namco Bandai (Ahem Tales of Symphonia PS2 port anyone). Also Namco is now a disgrace to the gaming world. They are just now an arcade manufacturing name. Just dissolve Namco already. Along with Bandai while your at it. As well as Namco Bandai Games. Alter your emblem to just have Namco above Bandai. God the Koei Tecmo emblem makes much more sense.

    However in phrases of games Namco Bandai has good games. It is just that they need to take risks specifically with their RPGs. So what do you think? Who is better??? Sq. Enix or Namco Bandai??? Explain your good reasons as I did.

    Namco Bandai manufactured a sport called: Naruto shippuden greatest ninja storm 2
    * it has dazzling graphics and spectacular game-play website link below
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pLwdPUAUi0

    Every bleach sport that they made is only in japan and you have to mod your program to get access to it.
    so this time they decide to let be introduced on ps3 and the graphic are horrible hyperlink below
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv5pekI647s

    so what i (and about every individual that enjoys bleach ) want is to adjust the game-play of this recreation due to the fact if it will get release like this with ps2 graphics and repetitive button-smashing
    no a single will acquire it even if it really is release in the united states for the initial time

    So if anyone could provide me with a way to contact the Publishers of the Summon Night series ( Flight-Plan were the developers) I would be very happy.

  5. ps2 good games of bandai namco like naruto ultimate ninja4 and dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi3

  6. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was and still is in my top ten list of games. I am trying to convince Namco Bandai to make a Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood game that has the same basic controls for using moves and stuff like that. I figure a nice essay would convince them more easily than a few sloppy sentences by yours truly. If anybody could help me, I would be very happy. Thanks in advance to all contributors (assuming somebody contributes)

  7. I was really surprised to see that they added so much more stuff making it pretty much a new game to me.I really want to know if Namco Bandai is going to do it at all?

  8. Why does Namco Bandai don’t want make Dragon Ball Raging Blast Region Free for Xbox 360???
    i hope this upcoming Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 that will released this October…. i hope for this cause

    Namco Bandai is stupid because they keep making Dragon Ball raging Blast Japanese version for Asia countries. They thought Asia countries can speak japanese…..

  9. C’mon guys. Tekken will be out by December in the PS3. I really really hope Namco Bandai will also release it on the 360.

  10. After closing the division of 2D animation and definitively abandon sprites or bitmaps, by the high cost of drawing a high resolution. Capcom announced its intention to plow new polygonal graphics and development of 2D scroll. Games like Gouls’n Ultimate Ghost and Mega Man Powered Up (although the latter funds were sprites) were good developments graphics, yet the recently announced Naruto Ultimate Ninja Strom, Bandai-Namco, for the Sony Play Station 3, but still are far from what we achieved today a good design in 2D sprites Hi-Re. Curiously titles were developed for laptop and not developed versions for consoles desktop …

    Viutifull Joe and Okami were not games with graphics 2. 5D as believed in the beginning, but were developments Full 3D.

    After announced that iban to develop Street Fighter IV graphics 2. 5D (without Z axis), but seems to view the images that we are facing a development Full 3D, like graphics Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and possibly all arcades will develop after 3D, which is not what an amateur at 2D expected.

    What has happened to the graphics 2. 5D? Why capcom has forgotten them and no longer wants to work nothing new that has a polygonal modeling and development 2D?

    Do Creeis that in the future, the use of flat polygons and a cell shading or remodeled more worked, will reach levels comparable to that achieved today drawings or bitmaps 2D sprites?

  11. Now that Namco Bandai is co-developing the game, it would be a great opportunity for a Namco character to be in the next Smash Bros. Personally, I would like one of the Llyod from Tales of Symphonia, but what Namco characters do you want on the Next Smash Bros?

  12. Namco Bandai said that the 2 exclusive characters were going to be people that were never in any DBZ games before. But yet SSJ3 Broly was in a game called “Dragon Battlers” But ssj3 Broly is going to be in the game.

    So I think that the 2 new exclusive characters are still out there.

    For those who are psyched about the game, what do you think??

  13. I have no idea were to begin & I feel like im going in circles, my goal is to become a character designer for a game company (Namco Bandai Games) & I have no Idea were to go! can anyone tell me were to start & how to get hired in the game industries?

  14. I think Square Enix because they have a much better style. First of all the Square Enix logo makes sense. However the Namco Bandai logo just is confusing. Take a look at how the names are put. Bandai is above Namco. It should be the other way around. Take the Namco Bandai logo and try and switch it around using paint. When you finally get it done perfectly it looks ten times better. Its Namco Bandai not Bandai Namco. Also how Square Enix publishes games just looks better. I mean Namco Bandai has this white block thing around their logo and it says Games under it. That just looks stupid. They should just put their logo on the game, not some white box around it and the owrd games. Also Square Enix actually brings the games we want from them to the US. Unlike Namco Bandai (Ahem Tales of Symphonia PS2 port anyone). Also Namco is now a disgrace to the gaming world. They are just now an arcade manufacturing name. Just dissolve Namco already. Along with Bandai while your at it. As well as Namco Bandai Games. Change your logo to just have Namco above Bandai. God the Koei Tecmo logo makes more sense.

    However in terms of games Namco Bandai has good games. It is just that they need to take risks especially with their RPGs. So what do you think? Who is better??? Square Enix or Namco Bandai??? Explain your reasons as I did.

  15. Kunimitsu has long been a favorite character of mine in the Tekken series, but she’s been gone from the series since Tekken 2(not counting her non-canonical appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament). Namco Bandai has never explained what happened to her or why she was dropped from the roster.

    Most people simply assume she was killed by Yoshimitsu or Ogre, but there is no official proof of this. Even in Tekken 5, when so many old characters returned to the roster like Wang, Bruce, and Ganryu, Kunimitsu was nowhere to be seen. What gives Namco?

    The odds of Jun and Michelle coming back are practically non-existent, because Asuka and Julia have taken their place with the same fighting styles, but Kunimitsu had unique moves and her own style, especially after TTT, but still, she hasn’t come back.

    Its clear that Kunimitsu is not in the arcade version of Tekken 6/ Bloodline Rebellion, but Namco Bandai staff have commented that they are adding new exclusive content to the console iterations of the game, with the possibility of more characters included. This is the best chance for Kunimitsu to come back.

    With all of that said, do you want Kunimitsu to return in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Tekken 6?

  16. What’s better and why?

    Tekken (Namco Bandai)
    Virtua Fighter (Sega)
    Soul Calibur (Namco Bandai)
    Mortal Kombat (Midway)
