E3 2009: Namco Bandai traveling light to E3

Another publisher formally announces its E3 roster, and for Namco Bandai, the list has to be the shortest I've seen for this year. No way they're gonna drop Tekken 6, but I thought it'd be accompanied by a few more titles than that plus a bunch of Dragon Ball games. Talk about traveling light.

And by light, I mean FOUR games light:

• Tekken 6 (Xbox 360, PS3, PSP)
• Dead to Rights: Retribution (Xbox 360, PS3)
• Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (PSP)
• Active Life: Extreme Challenge (Wii)

Okay, so we won't be seeing Tales of VS on E3, which is strange because you'd think all that teasing and content trickling actually pointed to the expo, nevermind the Dragon Ball titles. Oh well.

What I'm really interested to see is that the Tekken 6 exhibit would most likely showcase footages and perhaps even a playable demo featuring the full-time variable motion blur. The screenshots from last time sort of left me hanging.
