There is a touch detective game for 3ds? :O I loved the ds ones, hopefully that comes over.

pancakesandsex · Feb 19, 2013

What did they say about DW8. I must know.

udivision · Feb 19, 2013

No "big reveal next week?"
No Bayonetta 2 info?
C'mon!

This one is a shitty spin-off.

Foshy · Feb 19, 2013

What scores did the previous Layton games get? 32/40 seems a bit low for a Famitsu review of a high-selling series.

Yawnier · Feb 19, 2013

Wow, that is a good review score for DW8, IIRC they also scored DW7 quite high as well.

fushi · Feb 19, 2013

Risen 2 isn't getting any love from Japan either. Poor Piranha.

MoxManiac · Feb 19, 2013

What the hell? I thought DW8 was farther away. Hmm.

Hanmik · Feb 19, 2013

is the hideo kojima interview in this issue..?

dakkumauji · Feb 19, 2013

DW8 got the same score as DW7 did (36).

So great for that but considering this is basically DW7.5 I do wonder what they reviewers said.

It's a shitty puzzle match game spinoff previously released on mobile devices. Wouldn't hold my breath.

Honestly, if DW8 has a better frame-rate than DW7, it's already worth my money.

32/40 is what Miracle Mask got as well. PLvsAA got 35/40.

"When you pick up the controller, you get the feel of playing an exciting game."
"Moving around feels very good."
"The tempo of battle is very pleasing."
"When playing this game, it brings the authentic feeling of Chinese history to mind."

All Reviewers: "9!?"

With the exception of the last one, you summarized western DmC reviews.

VashTS · Feb 20, 2013

Risen 2 got 7s across the board?? Wasn't that game borderline broken garbage?

When Musou is getting all 9s, Famitsu should just stop bothering with the pretense.
Give everything 10s and just turn your rag into paid advertising.

Is this that matching puzzle spin-off?

I hope we get it in the US. I'm always up for more Touch Detective.

Considering the mainline DW games have mostly been getting 36s since the 3rd one, I suggest you stop caring about Famitsu reviews ages ago.

Yeah, wow I didn't noticed either! Then again it has been a while since Miracle Mask was released in Japan... wasn't it a launch title?

I'm actually surprised no PS4 leak by Famitsu. They're usually very good at being very bad at keeping secrets.

Then again... no PS4 news in Famitsu might be because there's actually no PS4 announcement tomorrow.

Anything interesting with GE2?

Looks like they just introduced a new character and some new weapon actions.

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu introduces a new character in God Eater 2.

Romeo Leoni, voiced by Makoto Naruse, is 19 years old and has been a member of the Blood group for a year longer than the protagonist. Hes caring and openhearted with anyone and everybody, but sometimes chooses to show off his authority as a senior. He also knows a lot about fashion and idols.

Aside from Romeo, the magazine also introduces new actions for the Short Blade, Long Blade, and Buster Blade

I think it's supposed to be the last one, too, or at least the last one starring Layton.

mao2 · Feb 20, 2013

Probably no one cares, but there are 2 more new titles in this week's Famitsu.

Memories Off 6 Complete
Memories Off Yubikiri no Kioku
PS3/PSV
Releases June 27th, 2013
Both titles are ports of their previous releases on other platforms, and feature Cross-Save so you can share your save files between PS3 and PSV.

Parakeetman · Feb 20, 2013

Looking forward to GE2.

Man if its an expansion to ACV Id just rather them go back to the drawing board with what made the series great. Since truthfully all they did was turn the game into Front Mission literally with how the cores functioned for the most part.

Here's what has been posted on Koei Warriors:

Exciting & Satisfactory action gameplay is even better than before
With convenient support features, it becomes very easy to play
Weapon affinity is interesting, and with Variable Counter it makes the gameplay deeper
Commander mode has much replayability which is good
New action gameplay is pleasant and has evolved much
Hats off on more than 70 playables
Much replay value with over 100 hours
Story mode takes about 35 hours to complete

I believe there should be a more complete transcript of the review should be coming out later.

See, mine weren't too far off.

I might have to look in to importing it then. Had it in my head that it was a Super Robot Wars sorta thing for some reason.

LOL. Well since buying DW4-6 I finally skipped 7 and I still don't feel like I missed much. I've been content to listen to a few of the songs on Youtube (haven't got my hands on the OST yet), but it doesn't seem as awesome as DW4 and DW6's soundtrack. I don't know if I should bother with 8 yet either. As a Wu fan it's nice to see Han Dang I guess, but I was hoping for a return to individual Musou modes and nothing grabs me. Maybe I've finally given up on the series.

Aeana said:

=P

I still remember Dynasty Warriors 6. "You can swim now!"

Special edition for PS2 - "Fuck you, now you can't! Not that it helped too much anyway, not having a horse means you travel slowly."

I admire the dedication it takes to make the games seem so amazing.

OmegaZero · Feb 20, 2013

Anyone got a translation for the Ninja Gaiden Σ2+ score?
