What Namco Bandai characters should be in Smash Bros.?

The news that Namco Bandai would beteaming up withProject Sora to develop the next game in the belovedSmash Bros.series was unexpected, but very exciting. Namco Bandai is a talented developer responsible for some pretty memorable videogames. Even though Sakurairecently admittedthey would not expand the roster for the newSmash. Bros.on the Wii U and 3DS, I don’t necessarily think this means what people think it means. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I took Sakurai’s statement to mean they would not increase thetotalnumber of characters — not that they wouldn’t introduce any new faces to the game....

300: March to Glory screens

I am constantly counting down the minutes until300comes out in theaters. Now, I’m being taunted by300: March to Glory, being released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Eidos for the PSP.
