During my nightly hyperbaric chamber session, Capcom managed to choke my inbox with a slew of Comic-Con videos, starting with this Okamiden trailer!

Video Blips:

• Okamiden follows the tale (no pun intended) of the pint-sized Chibiterasu across the lands of Nippon. I suppose the son of a goddess is entitled to break a few jars now and then.

Continue after the break for a deceased sleuth's adventures in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the oddly-attired officers of feudal Japan's armies in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, and lots of exploding robots in Front Mission Evolved.

 

• The protaginist in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is clearly dead — the challenge is telling everyone else about it. Of course, this ghost has scruples; you can only possess inanimate objects.

• The long-winded villains in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes enjoy dispensing abstract phrases and cryptic metaphors. Sadly, that doesn't change the fact that they were defeated by a hula-hoop-wielding deviant with a funny hat.

• Someone needs to return the randomly exploding robots of Front Mission Evolved to the garage for repairs. My favorite moment: a soldier's dinky rocket plinking off of the gargantuan armor of a mech (0:34).
