Now that we finally have release info for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (in Japan, at least), let's indulge ourselves with a little more heartwarming feel-good Disney moments with this trailer. First shown in TGS 09, this trailer gives you a taste of the great things to come - now with English subs.


Thanks to Geir Finnsson!

The Latino Review caught the action at Disney's D23 Expo a few days ago, and they got a few words from producer Steven Linsberger. What came out of the exchange would certainly be good news for Tron-atics all over the world - Tron: Legacy is in the works.

Square Enix has released a new video for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. While that in itself is good news for those eager to lap up any and all info about this game, we also got something better: a much tighter release window.

With summer about to end, it's nice to know that we're getting more company for the Fall as big game titles start to emerge. Topping the list this week are two big titles, each for consoles and for the PSP handheld. Batman: Arkham Asylum is set to grace North American PS3s and Xbox 360s, while Dissidia: Final Fantasy is weaving its magic on the PSP -- both on the same day, Tuesday. More can be found in the lengthy full list after the jump.

Growing up to the magic of Disney has a few perks, more so if you're a Kingdom Hearts fan. Having them Disney characters in a Square Enix RPG does have this good tremor of nostalgia, doesn't it? With this new scan of Japanese gaming bible Famitsu, we just got a bigger of picture of where in the world of Disney we're heading to in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Here's a hint: pet aliens and glass slippers.

The games sure are kicking up. This week, we've got another video game adaptation of a popular action hero franchise that's launching along the movie. Can  you guess which one it is?  We've also got several more big titles coming our way this week, from aliens to athletes, heroes and warriors, rockstars and (Karl's favorite) popstar. We've got them all right here for the week of August 2 through 8, so check out your games at the full article.

Don't look now, but it's another four-game batch for this week, with the exclusion of the digital-only releases. This week's biggest titles come from the Watchmen, as they get released into different titles for the PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively. But hey, if you're into guinea pigs and cartoony RTS, you'd probably like the other two in the bunch. Read up on this edition of On Shelves This Week for more info.

Last time, we brought you the trivia about Dissidia originally being made for the PlayStation 2. Today, we have another delightful small-talk piece concerning the game that every PSP owner's got to be waiting for, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. This time, it's about DFF originating from Kingdom Hearts.

Just because Sony thinks DS owners grow up to buy PSPs doesn't mean they won't be trying to bag the market of non-grownup girls. For that, Sony not only gave Hannah Montana a place in the PSP, but Disney's new pop princess will also come bundled with a lilac-purple PSP.

Like they say, once you're at the top, there's nowhere to go but down. In Shigeru Miyamoto's case, he went down quite a bit. After being at the top of Time 100 last year, the Nintendo gaming mastermind drops to #42 of Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people from various fields and industries. So who else made it to the list? Find out after the jump.
