Unsurprisingly low Valkyria Chronicles sales
Of course, you could make it right. Right now. But chances are, you'll be waiting for the inevitable price drop on this retail flop. C'mon PS3 fanboys! Tell your friends about Valkyria. And while you're at it, tell them about LittleBigPlanet as well -- both of these games could use some better sales.

Valkyria Chronicles composer gives insight into the soundtrack
Hitoshi Sakimoto, best known for his score for Final Fantasy XII, is also the composer of the soundtrack to the PS3 exclusive SRPG Valkyria Chronicles. Original Sound Version scored a rather unique soundtrack review/interview with the composer -- in addition to providing commentary on the tracks, Sakimoto himself picks out his favorites and adds liner notes for each song. Those of you who enjoyed the game and its music should check out the interview here.

Yakuza 3 trailer filled with mini-games
Yakuza 3 is one of the most anticipated games in Japan right now. Looking at the trailer, we can see why. This is one of the most authentic recreations of Japanese urban life we've seen so far -- akin to GTAIV's recreation of NYC. The Yakuza series has been known for its quirky gameplay, and the amount of sidequests and mini-games featured in this PS3 exclusive title is staggering. Hopefully, it won't take Sega too long to bring this title to the US. (Let's not forget that Yakuza 2 has taken nearly two years to localize.)
In a sea of Japanese DS games, two PS3 titles still shine
This week on the Japanese weekly sales charts, two PS3 games make a commendable debut. Yakuza 3 Way of the Samurai 3 (thanks, Fiddlesworth!) was sucked in and spat out by the top dog Kirby Super Star Ultra, but it still managed to land in second place, selling 81,047 copies. And who said Japanese gamers don't enjoy first-person shooters? Resistance 2 makes it into the top 5 by the skin of its teeth, selling 33,584 copies. While Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 is still selling relatively strong, taking eleventh place, LittleBigPlanet isn't doing quite as well -- Media Molecule's title in currently in twenty second place.

Famitsu reveals Yakuza 3 battle system details
A "tag tournament mode" was also shown in the gaming magazine's pages. Your character enters a fighting arena where you must team up with a partner (whether this is a CPU partner or something else isn't clear) to unleash some co-op attacks on your enemies.
The last iteration of the Yakuza franchise on the PS3 sold fairly well over in Japan. Unfortunately, it hasn't received a stateside release (yet) -- here's to hoping Sega will bring both Yakuza games over to the Western market.
Valkyria Chronicles anime starts in Japan next Spring
There's no indication on whether we'll ever see a localized version in the west. If you want to show Sega you're interested in an English voiced version, feel free to go ahead and buy the game. Anime fans and SRPG fans alike won't be disappointed. We'll have our full review up before the end of the week.
[Thanks, Tim!]

While many of you will have already played these games (many times), be it on the Gamecube, PSP, PS2 or on the original consoles, the Ultimate Collection will apparently output all titles at 720p. We're not sure exactly how these old games will look in high definition, but this will be the largest collection of Sega titles ever released together.

See Valkyria Chronicles' tank in new trailer
Valkyria Chronicles' English release is finally inching closer. Sega has just released a brand new trailer for the game, showing off the tank and its incredible power in action. This reminds us that VC is unlike most SRPGs we've played: the combination of real-time battles and turn-based tactics really has us quite excited.
