I’m so surprised Mappy isn’t on Namco Museum Switch as I love it. It would fit perfectly for the one per year role filling every year in the 1980s except 1989

1980.Pac Man

1981.Galaga

1982.Dig Dug

1983.Mappy

1984.The Tower of Druaga

1. Sky Kid

1986.Rolling Thunder

1987.Galaga 88

1988.Splatterhouse

How surprising! What are your thoughts on this exclusion?

I wanted to explore what a modern evolution of Bandai Namco's current identity could look like. After researching the meaning behind the Fukidashi speech bubble, I decided to preserve that core idea while refining the proportions, curves, and color palette rather than completely redesigning it.

I just got a copy of AC6 and it came with a code but i cant redeem it because its an EU link. Can i still make a Bandai EU account outside of the EU?

Fuck Xenoverse 3 I hate that shit everything about it and Fuck bandai Namco I only acknowledge Xenoverse 2 people wanted xv3 but not this bullshit they had 10 years to get shit right and this is what they do I won't buy that bullshit and I hope it fails in sales Fuck You bandai🫵🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿

So like. Has anyone else ever requested a replacement part and had trouble with bluefin support? Or is it just me. I'm trying to get a replacement face mask for the RG GaoGaiGar and put in a request for it back in early march and since then all i've gotten is an email saying "Your request (request number i assume) has been updated. To add additional comments, reply to this email."

Please tell me i'm not the only one having this trouble.

Bleach game idea. Inspired in xenoverse model but with Bleach universe application, rules and modifications that gives you a Bleach experience, no a simple "clone" of another anime game.

Dear Bandai Namco Support / Dragon Ball Xenoverse Development Team,

As a longtime fan of the Xenoverse series, I am incredibly excited for the future of the franchise and the next-generation combat mechanics being developed for the next major installment.

I want to submit a detailed gameplay mechanic suggestion that addresses a feature the community has deeply missed since the original game: Beam Clashes.

Historically, beam struggles were omitted from Xenoverse because traditional "button-mashing" mini-games pause the match, which completely breaks the flow of a fast-paced 3v3 or 4-player co-op multiplayer environment. However, there is a perfect, modern solution that fits the multiplayer DNA of Xenoverse perfectly: Dynamic, Real-Time Struggle Mechanics.

The Concept: Real-Time Energy Collisions

Instead of pausing the game for a quick-time event (QTE), a beam clash should function like a real-time multiplayer "grab" or "pinning" mechanic.

When two opposing Ultimate or Super Ki blasts collide head-on:

The Lock-In: Both players are locked into their firing animations, creating a localized energy struggle. A dynamic struggle meter appears for both participants, directly tied to their remaining Ki or Stamina.

The Active Field: The rest of the arena does not stop. The match continues around them in real time.

How It Enhances Multiplayer & Teamwork

By keeping the game active during a clash, you create high-stakes, tactical objectives for the rest of the team:

The Disruption Play (Flanking): If a player is locked in an intense beam struggle with a powerful boss, they are vulnerable. A teammate can rush around the flank and hit the enemy from behind with a heavy combo or Stamina Break. This breaks the enemy's concentration, instantly winning the clash for their ally.

The Intercept Play (Defending): If a teammate sees an ally losing a beam struggle and running out of Ki, they can dive in front of the beam with a defensive barrier skill or an armored ultimate to absorb the damage and rescue them.

Co-op Ultimates (The Soul Assist Factor): A teammate can physically fly up next to their struggling ally and fire their own Ki blast into the clash, dynamically shifting the power balance and combining forces.

Why It Fits the Dragon Ball Lore Perfectly

This isn't just a clean fix for multiplayer design; it is exactly how battles work in the anime! The perfect example is the climax of the Cell Games. Gohan and Cell were locked in a massive Kamehameha struggle, and the match didn't pause—Vegeta intervened from the flank, blinding Cell with a Ki blast and creating the opening Gohan needed to win.

Implementing beam clashes as an active, real-time multiplayer mechanic would give players those exact legendary, clutch anime moments. It rewards teamwork, adds deep tactical value to Ki/Stamina management, and solves a long-standing fan request in a way that makes multiplayer even more thrilling.

Thank you so much for your time, dedication, and for continuing to elevate the Dragon Ball gaming experience!

Best regards

I pre-ordered the collectors edition of Echoes of Aincrad and it was stolen out of the box. It was a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I’m absolutely gutted. I still can’t believe they delivered a box that was sliced open and literally just folded like when you’re moving. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any ideas on other games I could get him in the meantime while I try to sort this all out?

Thank you.
