Digimon World Data Squad for PlayStation 2 and Digimon World Dawn / Digimon World Dusk for Nintendo DS will be in stores on September 18 along with¿a sheet of exclusive stickers!

So, in addition to looking cool by walking around looking for other friends (read: other nerds) through the Nintendo Wi-Fi connect for these parallel titles or staying at home with the cel-shaded PS2 RPG, you can look really cool by placing Digimon stickers all over your clothes and body.

The company's less sarcastic description of the games is on Gaming Target.

Namco Bandai announces trio of Digimon games

PS2 News | Digimon World Data Squad

Later this year, Namco Bandai will release three new Digimon titles: Digimon World Dawn and Dusk for the Nintendo DS and Digimon World Data Squad for the not-dead-yet PS2. The DS games look to follow the same format as the dual Pokemon releases we have all come to be familiar with, but with a certain twist: The pair of titles boast "parallel and interweaving storylines" told from two different sides, in this case a conflict spurred by a massive earthquake. There will be over 400 new monsters ...

Three years after it came out in Japan, Square Enix will release Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII International as a value priced Ultimate Hits game on September 4. Don't get envious yet. Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII International is in actuality just the North America version of Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. When Square Enix localized the game Vincent learned how to run faster, got a limit break item to transform instead of using his MP, and had a number of post game Extra Missions. The catch was online play via PlayOnline found in the original Japanese release was removed from the game.

PS2 News from N4G | Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

PS2 - Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII - Dissidia: Final Fantasy at 50 percent; gameplay details dropped

Dissidia Final Fantasy details have once again been spotted and this time, they're coming from Japanese game magazine Famitsu. the game's producer Tetsuya Nomura, director Takeshi Arakawa, and planning director Mitsunori Takahashi all sat down with the publication and answered a few questions.

First on the agenda was the question of why the game is taking so long to finish. The devs answered that the team doing it is pretty young and adjusting was one of the most time-consuming parts of development. As for how far along into completion the team has gone, they said they're at about 50 percent and that character models are almost completely sealed.

Plenty more at the source!

"We Need To Go Beyond Traditional Square Enix" - Kotaku

PS2 News from N4G | Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

PS2 - Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII -

Kotaku writes:

Square Enix honcho Yoichi Wada (above, left) is worried. Western game companies are doing really well! Meaning that competition is getting harder. Yet, Wada hopes to capitalise on the Western market, aiming to increase the ratio of overseas sales from its current 50 percent to 80 percent in the next three years. According to the exec:

"We face competition not only from Japanese videogame companies but from game companies worldwide. We also see some new players from outside the videogame industry coming in... Economies of scale and breadth of scope is getting important. It may be a business alliance or it may be us taking a stake in others, but we need to go beyond traditional Square Enix."
