Friday morning has barely started for anyone at 4cr and gaming news from around the globe has already started flowing into our mailbox. Instead of writing an individual post for each tidbit of news, here’s a little comprehensive news roundup.

First, the official site of Dragon Quest Monster - Joker and the teaser site of Star Fox Command are up. Check them out regularly as they will be updated with new content as the release date closes in.

Speaking of which, we mentioned Moogle being part of Mario Hoops 3-on-3 roster not too long ago, and its japanese site has just been updated once more to not only present Bowser as a new character, but 4 other characters from the Final Fantasy universe. Ninja, White Mage, Black Mage and the lovable Sabotender will be joining Mario and company on the court.

Anime fans rejoice! A 2nd Bleach DS game is on the way. Sega and Treasure are joining forces once again to bring new characters, levels and the introduction of Hollows to this Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection compatible fighter. Bleach DS 2nd will be playable at this year’s Jump Super Game Tour 2006, along with Dragon Quest Monster - Joker and other new Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh games.

Want new screens to drool over? Well here’s Super Control Robot MG, Magical Vacation, Trion Cube, Super Paper Mario & Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

Japan gets another special edition of the DS lite. Unlike the Final Fantasy III edition, 150 randomly drawn members of the Pokemon Daisuki Club in Japan will get their hands on this very limited Pikachu Daisuki Club DS Lite.

Finaly, the 3 first bit Generations titles started appearing on Japanese store shelves this week, and from locals and lucky importers impressions, the games rock and are perfect bathroom time wasters. :P

Thanks to all of you who sent in the numerous emails we received overnight.
