Ever wanted to have a virtual maid? Well, that's what SNK Playmore's latest cellphone game seems to be about, named Ai no Iroha, and starring, of course, fan-favorite Iroha. Note that she's playing in a six-button arcade cabinet, maybe she prefers Street Fighter?
Valkyria of the Battlefield may be out already, in Japan at least, but Gamewatch keeps releasing character-centered promotional videos, this time Maximilian.
The official site for Tales of Vesperia has updated, opening many of its sections, including new character profiles. I've uploaded the new artwork here, and you can check for more info on Wikipedia, as the game's section is nicely updated.

of Arcadia are playable characters in Valkyria

They have regular soldier clothes.

Still half-dead computer but...
As Gamercafe reports, Otomedius is coming out for Xbox 360.
And SRW
Hotnews also has scans showing more Super Robot

Adam Hughes' website has a preview image of his Women of DC Comics poster, and it looks great.
According
to IGN, Hilde's second outfit for Soul Calibur IV
is "a beautiful formal dress with an elaborate lace collar".
Sounds promising, she's the most interesting of the newcomers, and considering
the fanservicey redesigns for the older girls, she's the only one with some self
respect left (then again, the armor breaking system may ruin that, I'm worried).

A poseable figure of Ghost in the Shell's Motoko Kusanagi comes out in June. The joints are creepy as usual, but she's a cyborg after all.

A very nice front image at Fool's Art Gallery, that reminds me of this one in Fomalhaut's site.

Udon has a very nice website to promote the american edition of the Okami artbook. Worth checking, and of course a good buy.
An affordable (2940 yen) version of Puyo Puyo! is coming out in June for PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii and Playstation 2. The DS version has Wi-Fi support, and all have the gameplay styles of Puyo Puyo, Puyo Puyo Tsuu and Puyo Puyo Fever. So basically, it seems to be a cheaper re-release of Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, which is good. Let's hope similar versions are released outside of Japan.
