Arc the Lad is being made by the original staff of the first game. Is being labelled as a reboot project.

Oh god....whyyyyyy? ;_;

Jawbreaker · Dec 7, 2016

Oh my god.

orthodoxy1095 · Dec 7, 2016

I know people will probably be whining about this, but honestly Hot Shots makes sense, and Wild Arms and Arc the Lad seemed dead as a doornail to me, so I'm open to seeing them again. Especially if those games have original staff on them.

Worst case scenario, I'll ignore them. ¯|_(&#12484

wapplew · Dec 7, 2016

Almost all PS1 first party Japan game on mobile...

ULTROS! · Dec 7, 2016

So Wild ARMs is being rebooted for mobile phones huh.

NinjaCoachZ · Dec 7, 2016

So this is what that new Wild Arms thing ended up being?

Flunkie · Dec 7, 2016

Cool, so all the stuff that would be awesome on Vita. :lol

pizzapizza64 · Dec 7, 2016

Hot Shots makes total sense on mobile.

NateDrake · Dec 7, 2016

Meanwhile at Sony HQ:

"Hey, let's make all these awesome games for mobile!"

"What about the Vita?"

"The hell is that?"

Ninja Dom · Dec 7, 2016

Everybody's Golf on iOS?

I'm down for that.

I hope they eventually port them to vita, like the go series.

texhnolyze · Dec 7, 2016

Arc the Lad would be a perfect fit for mobile. I hope it won't be f2p though.

As for Wild Arms, judging from the pic I guess it'll be a characters gacha game.

I usually don't bother with mobile gaming but HSG is one of those games that wouldn't really lose any functionality with touch controls. I'd play it.

Callibretto · Dec 7, 2016

Please dont be gacha games...

Eusis · Dec 7, 2016

Wild Arms makes a weird sort of sense when you remember a lot of Media Vision's recent work has been on mobile anyway.

Will have to wait and see what comes of this. Hopefully not a bunch of gacha type junk.

ggx2ac · Dec 7, 2016

Note for people interested. These are planned for Japan and other parts of Asia, there probably has to be some kind of demand to get them localised in the west.

raven777 · Dec 7, 2016

here is the clean artwork for Wild Arms

wapplew · Dec 7, 2016

Hot shot golf on mobile earlier than New Hot shot golf.

orochi91 · Dec 7, 2016

All that Wild Arms teasing was just for this mobile announcement?

D:

Sony, pls

To be fair, why does it have to be either or?

When even Nintendo is making games for mobile despite having a handheld that sold 60 million, it would be weird for Sony to stay on one path.

The handheld wars are lost. Lets just hope the money they make on mobile can be siphoned back to their consoles.

Shouta · Dec 7, 2016

I'm really excited. I just hope they aren't gacha games because there's a high chance of it being half-baked instead of a good quality F2P game.

ggx2ac · Dec 7, 2016

And that was all the announcements.

HomerSimpson-Man · Dec 7, 2016

Wild Arms "Reboot Project" for mobile?

Sony, bruh...

Oregano · Dec 7, 2016

I see what Shu was saying about Sony using Mobile differently than Nintendo. Nintendo is very much focusing on active, big brands.

darkwing · Dec 7, 2016

Wild Arms

on mobile

yessssssss

Parappa?

yesssssssssssssssssss

Takao · Dec 7, 2016

Doko Demo Issho, Parappa and My Summer Vacation to come at a later date.

I dig this.

Claude Augario · Dec 7, 2016

That's not Wild Arms 6!

Zalman · Dec 7, 2016

Now you can play Parappa the Rapper in the rain or in the snow.

Is that the one by Wright Flyer?

Wright Flyer is probably GREE's strongest studio.

Ray Down · Dec 7, 2016

Knew there would be a Toro game.

wapplew · Dec 7, 2016

My summer vacation! SIEJ remember that game!

Camjo-Z · Dec 7, 2016

So a PaRappa AR dancing game or something?... Could be fun.

Eusis · Dec 7, 2016

Takao said:

Developer mostly goes to mobile space, don't have them develop for mobile the franchise they kicked off. I half expected that.

It's just a joke. Sony should pursue the mobile market since the odds of a Vita successor are slim to none. If they do an approach similar to Nintendo and bring a new audience to niche IP this way and expand with full entries on consoles, then it would be a win for gamers wanting to see new entries to titles like Wild Arms.

Rixa · Dec 7, 2016

I guess I need to clear dust from my PS3 and play WA3 for the nostalgy. Got a feeling that Mobile WA will be gacha styled.

"Congratz you pulled this awesome (max) 3* pea shooter"
"Congratz you pulled this awesome 5* bullet hell machine"

Now buy 5 Bullets only for 0.99$ / 0.99 / 0.99£.
(Euro & Pound users being kicked in the arse because reasons).

wrowa · Dec 7, 2016

Are there any big Japanese F2P games that aren't using gacha mechanics at this point? I just can't stand those.

expel · Dec 7, 2016

Yeah this is the 20th anniversary celebration title they have teasing. Kaneko gave a message about it at this conference. (Sad face)

SolidSnakex · Dec 7, 2016

If they can use the mobile market to bring new eyes to Wild Arms, then so be it. It may be the best shot we have of getting a new console release.

ggx2ac · Dec 7, 2016

Okay, maybe that's not all the announcements. They mentioned a collaboration with forwardworks and square Enix but not saying more for the time being.

shink · Dec 7, 2016

Was a Disgaea game announced? Saw the image in the person's Twitter.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
