Here's a last minute update from From Software before people go packing their bags to head to the Tokyo Game Show. At From's official website, they've revealed their game lineup for this weekend's event. Hit the full article to see a list of games you can expect at From's booth.

Media Create has released the Japanese Sales charts for the week of April 4 to 13. Making its debut in the list at first place is Nintendo's Mario Kart Wii, selling 594,000 copies in its first week. To find out what other games were able to make it into charts, head on over to the full article.

Stepping back from the lighter gaming news and dressing up for the industry and investment news, we've learned that Sony Corp. has pulled off more than it had initially expected for the first quarter of this fiscal year even while its game division still struggles to remove itself from the financial red.

 

And today, reports coming in from the executive division itself have claimed Sony was able to remain green for Q1 2007 because of strong digital camera sales and what seems to be a favorable Yen rate. Financial analysts note that the numbers "more than trebles" for the company, but don't look too kindly to Sony's "strategic pricing" and the losses it incurs.

"This deterioration was primarily due to the loss arising from the strategic pricing of PS3 at points lower than its production cost, although operating income from software increased due to further hardware penetration in the market," said Sony.

The move by Sony to cut the price of its 60 GB PlayStation 3 SKU to US$ 499 was well received by consumers all around, but it slowly derailed from the concept of "price cut" when Sony revealed the maneuver as a temporary low pricing while Sony empties its 60 GB inventory to make way for the new 80 GB SKUs - still offered at the same US$ 599.

Mysterious.

That's what the From Software's Japanese Armored Core website seems to be trying to be.

A bare website with a nine-day countdown. Another chance at stepping into a giant robot? A spinoff from the usual 3rd person action? The potential for even more property damage? It seems almost too good to be true! If you'll look at the bottom of the page, there are also two magic words: Playstation Portable.

Let's hope it'll be a big step up from Armored Core: Formula Front. At the very least, let's hope it's not a hoax.

Keep checking QJ for updates! We should have something to tell you in nine days.

If you've been playing RPGs since the late 90s, you've probably played King's Field on the PSone. The game takes you to the kingdom of Verdite where you play the role of Alexander, royal knight and lone survivor of a perilous sea voyage to the island of Melanat to find the Moonlight Sword. That was the Playstation 1 version. Now comes King's Field: Additional 1 for PSP.

From Software breathes new life to the classic first person shooter using the Adventure Player engine (ADVP), which enhances the sound and graphic quality of the game. The remake also includes several casino and mini-games such as slot machine, roulette poker, which can be played in the town hotels.

Though there's not much information about gameplay, something tells me that King's Field: Additional 1will be true to the original version, filled with elegant scenery, intriguing characters, memorable monsters, and grandeur setting.

King's Field: Additional 1 is slated for a July 20 release date in Japan. No word yet if it'll head to North American shores, but as always, we'll keep you posted.
