With no snappy lead in today I present you with the newest news I've read up on today. There is to be another member on the Final Fantasy X-2 babe express. As if the two carryover hotties weren't fanboy tantalizing enough they now appear to have brought along their punky Bouncer hold over friend too! Pretty face, now all we need is a name... Other FFX-2 news pertains to the battle system, which will carry over pretty much the same well received system as FFX. Some new additions will be things like chain and combo attacks.

For those ready for a new console, you only have a few more years to wait. Nintendo is hard at work contemplating their next new system. It will contain chips from NEC. Never one to be outdone, the next Sony unit will reportably have Toshiba bits inside. NEC and Toshiba are in a war of their own for dominance, so things like consoles mean more market for these guys too. Hopefully, this somehow translates to better gaming and cheaper gaming, too.

For fans of Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 Sega finally divulged some of it's details on the NiGHTS Into Dreams connection it hinted at earlier. Coming on the 19th, a new mission will be avaliable with a NiGHTS theme to its level and enemy design. The reward for beating said mission is a new mini-game known as NiGHTS Score Attack, which can be downloaded to the Gameboy Advance.

Well, that's about all the fun things I found today. (Also for those people looking for past "news" pieces they may have missed, a full back catalogue is avaliable by clickng on the pretty little "news" button at the top of the page.) See you next time.
