I wonder what this little game is...




Famitsu Special Feature on Square Enix titles


Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+:

- The additional scenes in the game have no voice, only subs
- There's supposedly a reason for this <--- yeah right
- There's a new area with no save point in it


Crisis Core PSP

- Covers the same Digital Mind Wave stuff that Jump already did
- The game will apparently also contain FFVII's materias and limit breaks
- 70% complete, the latest build will be playable at the Square Enix Party


FFXIIRW:

- New character shown, a Winged Judge (this was in Jump too)


Square Enix Party 2007

Meh, another disappointing week in Japan news


Ouendan 2 is zzzzz? I kill you
Click to expand...

Ditto. This Ouendan 2 news is probably bigger and more important to me than anything that will be shown at GDC this week.

Now, duckroll, stop feeding us information about other games. Ouendan 2 only.

kthxbye

where is ASH?

;_;
Click to expand...

Didn't you see the GDC thread? Ash is Nov/Dec game.

Probably won't show much about it for another 3-6 months.

That, my friend, is the eternal question... >_<

For a game that Sakaguchi was all like "1st Half '07!" about, he and MW are surely stretching that supposed limit.

While I'm in the mood for fond wishes to come true, I really wish that Atlus and Million would get together and make a new Double Dragon game already, for the DS. Series 20th anniversary after all, and I would hope that Live Arcade release (which isn't even being done by Million) is only the tip of the iceberg

Again, read the GDC thread, Mistwalker said it was winter/xmas 2007 game. Not first half 2007 anymore.

EDIT: ...or not, since Bebpo just beat me to the punch. Nov/Dec? What happened to "1st half 2007"? Blargh...

That's what I was also going to ask after reading the other topic...

For a game that was supposedly "next on the priority list after Blue Dragon", it would seem that putting it off until Christmas 2007 in Japan would be rather questionable...and I thought Lost Odyssey was supposed to be released Winter 2007 in Japan...

I dunno, besides a page or two of Ouendan 2 (AWESOME), this weeks Famitsu does seem extremely zzzzz.

I probably wouldn't have even entered this thread was it not for the Ouendan 2 thread that just got locked. :lol

I wholeheartedly thank GAF for bringing Ouendan to my attention months ago, probably my favourite DS game along with Phoenix Wright and for it to be getting a sequel is excellent news.

Marvelous, CING and Townfactory are working on a new project together for the Wii it seems. Currently known as New Project O, it's slated for 2008. It's a new sort of genre, similar to World Neverland, Sim Earth, Sim People, etc.

This week's Famitsu just took an unexpected turn toward the awesome.

Okay, for New Project O, there are some more details:

- Involved in the project from Townfactory is Kimura Shourou who worked on a few Lovedelic games like moon and LOL, and more recently a PS2 game called Tulip (?)

- Also involved is Hideo Minaba, the ex-S-E art director who's now working on ASH character designs with Mistwalker

- Another talent involved is Kazuyuki Kurashima, who is a graphic artist who did monster and art designs for Super Mario RPG and more recently animation for the Tingle RPG. He was also involved with moon and LOL.

It's unknown if Kenichi Nishi himself is involved with the project, but there seems to be quite a few ex-Lovedelic staff here...
