Seemingly every E3, an employee of a high-ranking publisher breaks the bonds of the industry and makes the transition into full-on internet meme-dom. This year, that honor went to Konami producer Tak Fujii, whose disheveled appearance and rambling, nonsensical promotion of N3: Ninety Nine Nights II gave birth to a new range of incredible catchphrases.
Gamasutra caught up with the king of ONE MILLION TROOPS to get his thoughts on the future of gaming in Japan, and he had some pretty interesting things to say. You better hit the cut to find out more, because if you don’t, you’ll be sucked.
With Halo set to Reach out to new places this fall, Bungie would still keep the burgeoning multiplayer of Halo 3 alive, right? Well, sort of. The developer has announced in its daily update that, in order to prepare for the release of Halo: Reach several Halo 3 playlists will be “downsized and concatenated”.
This process has already begun, as the official Major League Gaming Free-For-All playlist (MLG FFA, for short) has been removed from the game. Bungie states that these playlists will continue to be “combined, modified, or removed” and in the end several will be deleted from the game. These merged playlists will also become DLC required (with the exception of Social Slayer and Lone Wolves), and no new playlists will be added to the game.
Is Bungie merely clearing the way for their next multiplayer fragfest? Or are they cutting off the hand that feeds them too quickly?
Planning on honoring the grand American tradition of taking off Fourth of July week and playing rhythm/music games every day? You’ll be glad to hear, then, that Microsoft is honoring the grand American tradition of offering up sales you just can’t pass up — more specifically, sales on gobs of DLC tracks for said rhythm/music games.

Along with releasing a new trailer (found after the break) for adorable downloadable title Ilomilo, developer Southend Interactive is giving away tracks featured in the forthcoming game’s soundtrack over on its website. Also, it appears that the folks at Southend had a cookout helmed by a “coding mega robot” (as detailed on said website). That just straight up sounds unsafe, folks.

There have been nearly half a dozen Idolmaster titles in the past five years. But, it looks like the franchise is finally ready to jump to the big number 2. Andriasang reports that a new Idolmaster for Xbox 360 — Idolmaster 2 — will be coming your way in 2011. A new trailer (which we sat through in public for you) was also released via the game’s official website.
Apparently, this time around, players will be tasked with turning three Idols into national hits. Characters from the first Idolmaster, as well as characters from Idolmaster SP and a couple new Idols, will be making up the game’s roster, and everyone is said to have aged by one year. Little else is known about the sequel at the moment, but if you want to sing along to some bubblegum J-Pop, click past the break.
