Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days. There are five futures waiting for you in Time Travelers. The taiko Don-chan puts on his armour to fight evil in Taiko no Tatsujin 3DS, and the Qanba Q2 Pro is here to improve everyone's performances.
Created by the staff behind Fuusa sareta Shibuya 428, Time Travellers promises to be an adventure unlike any other.
The stage is set in 2031, 18 years after an explosion that blast a hole through the Tokyo sky. Instead of sliding into a slump, people tapped into the energy from this hole and turned Tokyo into an even bigger metropolis.
Everything seems fine, holograms and entertainment are everywhere, however, this fragile peace is about to be shattered by a bus-hijack.
Five seemingly unrelated people, a reporter, a high school student, a hero wannabe, a scientist and a policeman are key players who might be able to save the world from the next apocalypse. Each of them meets a girl called Mikoto. However, all 5 Mikotos look like different people. Find out the link between all the Mikotos, how to save the world, and enjoy all branches of the quirky story.

Please bear in mind that the release date for the Sony PSP™ is delayed to July 19th.
Nintendo 3DS™
Partner up with the little dragon and use your sense of rhythm to take down the evil. The Taikos make their way to the Nintendo 3DS. Besides beating the drums with your stylus, there are many more modes. One of the most popular, the adventure mode is back. And this time, Don-chan becomes a hero, complete with a cape and a sword.
Travel the seven countries, and venture into their different locales. Monsters pit their songs at you from every way, these songs range from hot J-pop tunes to arranged classics. AKB 48's Flying Get and Golden Bomber's Memeshikute are part of the tracklist.
Defeat evil through a series of drum beats:
It's time to go pro. The Qanba means the Tyrant of the Fist, and true to its name, the fighting stick gives you better performance in the fighting games. With it plugged in to your consoles, you can practice for the important gaming competitions at home.
The stick inherits its design from the Q2, with new improvements such as handle bars, a compartment to store your cables and menu buttons at the sides.
But the most remarkable aspect of this generation is that the gamer can flip on a switch, turn the fighting stick around and play it in left-handed mode. The buttons and the sticks came from Sanwa, and if the user prefer a more curved button layout, they can get the Professional Edition.
Both the Standard and Professional Editions are compatible with the PlayStation3 and the PC:
There are more music and beats for you in Final Fantasy Theatrhythm. The soundtracks for this franchise are masterpieces. Let your Chibi heroes defeat the monsters to the tune of the music. Choose your challenges, there are four modes, and when you clear your game, you'd be able to hum every piece.
And there are more music in the game world. Find the treasure of the Emperor Napoleon, steal it, and dance your way away from the pursuing police. Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure. Raphael's father has disappeared, and clues are hidden in the beat, sway to it, dance to it, and discover the answers.
Leave the musical world for something more life and death. Gunlord is off to save his wife. The horizontal platform action is a gift to all gun masters. Gone are the easy gameplay for the beginners, everything in this game is hardcore, from timing jumps to avoid bullets to turning massive enemies into a beehive with your bullets.
The tormented spirits won't settle for haunting the home consoles and wait for you to return, they want to follow you. Zero's first portable game - The Cursed Memoir takes gamers into a haunted book where Maya is imprisoned. Read the aged pages through the Nintendo 3DS's camera lens, capture the ghosts and figure out the puzzles.
