Itagaki on DS, lol.

[cw_sasuke]

i love u thx....dqm:j FTW

[neptunes]

jarrod was right, they WERE working on a ds game, but I doubt they were working on it the whole time.

[Bebpo]

Gundam Musou

OMG OMG OMG

Soooo many enemies at once and large no-fog draw-distance! OMGOMGOMG NEED THIS. PS3 KILLER APP! OMGOMGOMG

[DarknessTear]

Rockman FPS? ;o

Gundam Musou OMG OMG OMG Soooo many enemies at once and large no-fog draw-distance! OMGOMGOMG NEED THIS. PS3 KILLER APP! OMGOMGOMG

Yeah but can a Gundam game ever be good?

[AniHawk]

Itagaki - unrevealed DS project from Team Ninja under development

I wonder what he'd use the touch-screen for. He's such a family man.

[AniHawk]

PS3 KILLER APP!

Yeah, you're pretty good at calling those.

[Bebpo]

Yeah but can a Gundam game ever be good?

One Year War is awesome.

ACE games with lots of Gundam are awesome.

The Capcom VS. games are...alright.


Plus gameplay is Omega Force and DW plays well!

[Link1110]

Yoshizumi - next Tales is on new hardware

You mean I have to buy another japanese system to continue playing Tales games? Damn.

[jj984jj]

Gundam Musou OMG OMG OMG Soooo many enemies at once and large no-fog draw-distance! OMGOMGOMG NEED THIS. PS3 KILLER APP! OMGOMGOMG

Seriously, didn't expect it to look like that at all. Thought it'd be a Omega Force cash-in.

[kenta]

Gundam Musou OMG OMG OMG Soooo many enemies at once and large no-fog draw-distance! OMGOMGOMG NEED THIS. PS3 KILLER APP! OMGOMGOMG

Gundam fans never learn

[Oldschoolgamer]

**** YEA! Inafune is doing a Wii game. It better not be like the battle network GC game >:(. Itagaki better not make a damn women sim for the DS. Touch Ninja Gaiden portable plz.

[DarknessTear]

Gundam fans never learn

Dynasty Warriors fans never learn either. Sounds like an evil pair to me!

**** YEA! Inafune is doing a Wii game. It better not be like the battle network GC game >:(. Itagaki better not make a damn women sim for the DS. Touch Ninja Gaiden portable plz.

Battle Network franchise is over.

Also, Itagaki is guaranteed to make a boobie game for the DS.

[Scalemail Ted]

So Inafune is working on a wii game.

[BrodiemanTTR]

Metroid Prime-style Megaman, plz.

[meltpotato]

Metroid Prime-style Megaman, plz.

oh dear ****ing god noooooooo

[neo2046]

Inafune always treats Nintendo hardwares are for kids
so don't expect too much

[Oldschoolgamer]

Metroid Prime-style Megaman, plz.

Nooooooo!!! >_<

Dynasty Warriors fans never learn either. Sounds like an evil pair to me! Battle Network franchise is over.

I know. We have the new ones that are in the same vein though (not a bad thing). I want an action game!

[Matix]

Nice, was expecting to many goodies this Holiday Week. Oh, and Gundam Musou looks ****ing insane (to say the least).

[nelsonroyale]

wowzer, gundam actually looks good from the screens

peace

[jj984jj]

Inafune always treats Nintendo hardwares are for kids so don't expect too much

Megaman & Bass 3 would be nice... for DS.

[Zoramon089]

It's UNVEILED or REVEALED! You can't mix them together!

[jarrod]

Gundam Musou looks... surprisingly hot?!

Sorry I ever doubted you Omega Force... 360 port plz?

I wonder what he'd use the touch-screen for. He's such a family man.

He's making the game with his daughter. Heh.

[AniHawk]

Inafune always treats Nintendo hardwares are for kids so don't expect too much

Probably Mega Man Powered Up

He's making the game with his daughter. Heh.

That's disgusting.

[Avutta1978]

DS Super Robo Taisen W(voltron needs to come state side)

[jarrod]

Inafune always treats Nintendo hardwares are for kids so don't expect too much

It's probably Disney Hide 'n Sneak 2.


Seriously though, Rockman Wii's sort of inevitable. Since it's Inafune too, hopefully it's not just another assy 3D X game... I'd like to see a classic revival (Rockman 9?) or maybe a platform spinoff of the new Star Force (a la Arika's Network Transmission). Or maybe Legends revived, that'd make a nice fit with Wii's design.

[Matix]

Probably Mega Man Powered Up

MMPU2 on Wii... I'll take it (just continue the remakes damn it).

Even better.. !!

[Kintaro]

Gundam Musou OMG OMG OMG Soooo many enemies at once and large no-fog draw-distance! OMGOMGOMG NEED THIS. PS3 KILLER APP! OMGOMGOMG

I'm with you on that. That looks hot. Impot a go go.

[jj984jj]

Probably Mega Man Powered Up

More PSP ports for Wii lol.

That's disgusting.

She worked on DOAX2 as well.

[jarrod]

I think the Virtual Console and PlayStation Store (combined with bombastic PSP software sales) has sort of killed the chance for Rockman remakes anywhere.

Rockman Rockman and Irregular Hunter X really should've been multiplatform (GC/PS2/PSP). I think that's the only way we'd be seeing sequels now.

[neo2046]

it is Rockman 20th anniversary next year
if Capcom remakes Rockman 1~6 (8?) that has Rockman RX graphic in one cartridge/UMD for DS/PSP
I will be very happy

[AndoCalrissian]

But no Capcom games for Wii!! Itagaki on DS, lol.

Goes perfect with your avatar!

[Shouta]

Whoa! Gundam Musou looks awesome. I hope it plays as well as Dynasty Warriors.

;(Stop killing my dreams);

Given the developer it should.

[xaosslug]

PS3 Gundam Musou

OMG... O_O... :O

[AndoCalrissian]

Probably Mega Man Powered Up.

Oh dear God, that would be awesome. With Wii Connect24 level trading. I really want that game, but I won't buy a PSP for it.

Capcom, do this and Ultimate GnG while you're at it, and I'll love you forever I already do. These are the only PSP ports I'd ever want on the Wii, YOU HEAR ME UBISOFT?!

If not this... new Mega Man Legends with the pointer would probably be pretty cool.

[Matt_C]

Kamile Bidan FTW.

If Gundam Mosou is successful, I wonder if Lucas Film would commission Omega Force to do a Star Wars game based on the Clone Wars or the ancient Sith wars. Due to their recent track record, I doubt Lucas Arts would snub Foundation 9 despite there are more high quality teams out there. At least Star Wars fans have the Star Wars Lego games

Seriously, if I do not need to read a whole lot of Japanese; I am so ready to import this game.

[jarrod]

If not this... new Mega Man Legends with the pointer would probably be pretty cool.

This is more along the lines of what I'm hoping for. They could even rework it around the new StarForce mythos or whatever if they wanted, but something like MML seems perfectly suited to Wii.

[radcliff]

Itagaki said in a recent EGM (or maybe GI) interview that he is working on an action title for DS that doesn't use the unique features of the system.

[linsivvi]

One Year War is awesome. ACE games with lots of Gundam are awesome. The Capcom VS. games are...alright. Plus gameplay is Omega Force and DW plays well!

The Capcom VS games on the PS2 are alright, but the arcade versions are awesome and are still insanely popular in arcades throughout Asia.

Also don't forget the Gundam Generation games.

And yes, Omega Force working on Gundam Musou = Finally found a reason to buy a PS3. Geez 70% completed and to be released in Spring 2007? They really kept a tight lip on this project man.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Yoshizumi - next Tales is on new hardware

Oooooh! (I guess he doesn't count SoL Wii as next tales?). Choose well Namco Tales Studio, my first next-gen console will greatly depend on your choice!

[Srider]

OMG HOLY SHIT, GUNDAM MUSOU!!!! 0_0 0_0 0_0

[Haunted]

I'm keeping the expectations low on the Gundam game.. for now. Burned child and all that.

Itagaki is working on a DS game? hm, probably a dating sim...

[jarrod]

It's Ninja Gaiden DS suppossedly... IGN Xbox inferred it in an interview last year iirc.

[jj984jj]

If it's not a port or remake of the NES game(s) then AWESOME!

[Totalriot]

Nice score for DQMJ!

[jarrod]

How do we know he's not referring to SOL? Seems to fit the bill actually...

[Bebpo]

Name is wrong. The next "Tales" title will start with "Tales" and be on one of the three new machines.
