I’m really not too crazy about the MGS4 shirt, but sadly I wasn’t able to get a Uniqlo one. I assume most of us are in the same boat. Why are these things only ever available in large? [Insert typical fat-gamer joke]
I think I may start scouring the internet for a download of the Knights in the Nightmare OST. If anyone finds it before me let me know! Man I cannot wait for this game…

Sting’s newest volume in the Department Heaven series, Knights in the Nightmare, appears like it will have a learning curve as steep as Baldwin Street. (Sorry, Wikipedia-nerd-humor.)
| To help prepare gamers in Japan for the challenge, Sting is allowing them to download a “First Step Experience Edition” (FSEE) to their Nintendo DS. The FSEE can be downloaded directly from Minnano Nintendo Channel (Everyone’s Nintendo Channel) or at a participating DS Station.
The FSEE consists of all the tutorials on the game’s battle system as explained by the Maid of Armor. There are seven total tutorials. If gamers download the FSEE at a participating DS Station, they will receive a bonus demo which includes two playable battles as well. |
This is a great way to prepare for the game’s release on the 25th of this month. The downloads will be available until October 7th.
It’s nice to see the Nintendo DS’s features being used to their full extent. Who would have thought you could play demos of Nintendo DS games legally? It’s too bad such options aren’t available to Western gamers. Hopefully they will be at some point.

I might play around with Minnano Nintendo Channel and see if I can figure out how to download the FSEE. If I can, I’ll post a how-to.
I think this is personally my most anticipated DS title of next year. Hopefully Atlus or Sting will be announcing some details of the game’s localization soon. Since the other Dept. Heaven titles were brought over, it seems obvious this one will as well. Judging by these screens though, it looks like there will be a lot of engrish to clean up.

Yggdra Union for PSP Official
The opening video to the Japanese version of Stings’s Knights in the Nightmare has appeared on YouTube. I was surprised to see that the game features English voice-overs, although that seems to be a style choice that Sting prefers for their Dept. Heaven titles.
This video is much higher quality than the short clip of the battle system. Both the sprite quality and backgrounds look very impressive for the Nintendo DS.
The video appears to focus on Mary, the mysterious girl who joins forces with the wisp. While she may not be the main character, it seems her story is important to the game.

Atlus revealed their secret today with the announcement that Yggdra Union for the PSP will indeed be receiving an American localization.
The PSP version does feature a few added bonuses that the Game Boy Advance version did not have including (but not limited to):
- Complete voice-overs with both Japanese and English dialog
- Higher difficulty setting (watch that morale!)
- New Playable characters
- New Missions
- Multiple endings
- Enhanced visuals and audio effects
Yggdra Union will be giving you one more reason to buy a PSP September 16th. In addition to the opening of an official website Atlus also sent out a newsletter featuring this trailer video:

Atlus’s website has been updated with this banner as well as a series of cards bordering the site’s content. Rumor has it that the announcement will be for a US release of the Yggdra Union PSP port. This seems like a fair guess to me since cards are an integral part of Yggdra’s battle system. Also the ones on Atlus’s site are identical to the back of the cards in Yggdra.
This is still just a rumor, but we will find out the truth tomorrow. Since the Yggrda PSP port has been out in Japan for nearly a year now, we can probably expect to find copies hitting shelves before the year is out. Yggdra Union is part 2 in the 4 part Dept. Heaven series.
