Biohazard 0 erscheint für Wii 27.02.08 - Capcoms Survival Horrorspiel Biohazard 0 (engl. 'Resident Evil Zero') - erschien am 21.11.02 für Gamecube in Japan - kommt auch für Wii auf den Markt. Das schreibt die Famitsu. Es handelt sich um die Umsetzung der Gamecube-Version, die an die Steuerung der Wii-Fernbedienung angepasst wird (ähnlich wie Resident Evil 4). Die Helden sind Rebecca und Billy, die Auslieferung soll im Sommer 2008 in Japan stattfinden.

Resident Evil 0 makes its way to Wii. Why does Capcom chose this one, well....

In addition, Famitsu says that the game could possibly be played with the Classic controller as well (thanks to cvxfreak)

The first pics can be seen on the website ***********. Since it's forbidden to show on this website them I won't say more. Hint : just look for Blakguy's blog.

Die Famitsu schreibt, dass Metal Gear Solid 4 am 12.06.08 in Japan auf den Markt kommen wird. Das Spiel wird - außer als normale Version - auch als Premium Pack und Special Edition verfügbar sein: Normale Version * Enthält ein Metal Gear Online-Starter-Pack * Der Beta-Test beginnt am 21.04.08 Special Edition * Enthält eine Blu-ray Disc mit Trailern, 'Making of'-Videos, uvm.

MGS4 in Japan - 06.12.08

Two versions. The normal one features the MGS-Starter-Pack and the Special one contains an additional DVD with several features and a making of.

Sega kündigt Initial D Extreme Stage an 27.02.08 - Sega gibt in der Famitsu die Entwicklung des Rennspiels Initial D Extreme Stage bekannt, das im Sommer 2008 in den japanischen Handel kommen soll.

WTF @ Metroid Prime 3 though :< 2 got a 33 even.

[Chris Michael]

I'm 99% sure it's fake, but a few hours ago on 2ch's gamenews board I saw something about Grandia 1 & 2 remakes for the DS? Can somebody verify this?

Japan truly is the land of the sick and twisted.

Sad for me, the week I get activated, is the week Scans stop.

[Mistouze]

Hitler and Ron Paul rolled into one?

Nice Yakuza 3 marks but hey, it's famitsu. Will have to wait for real impressions.

WTH at MP3 scores?


Fuck u Famitsu - you don't have good taste.

[Mdk7]

This thread is so sad without pics. :(

Neo we love you!

[Narag]

If it was 8s across the board, would you guys still be acting this way regarding MP3?

[Arde5643]

It requires at least one 9 so that we know that at least one of the Famitsu crap reviewers have taste.

ugh, the screens still look like shit

They improved the visuals ?

[Kenka]

A thread is a thread. It can evolve, it can satisfy your needs with time, it can even be considered to be perfect after a while. Just be less demanding for the moment.

Please.

That should be the OPs work. I'm with sporsk on this one - if you can't do it yourself don't start the thread.

In other news Famitsu reviews still are a big joke.

I'm afraid even an awesome avatar cannot save you from the wrath of the sp0rsk. I guess you can say that Raphaela is on to you.

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! (PS3, Sega): 10 / 9 / 9 / 9 - (37/40)

Speechless. I think I'm craving for this game even more now

Seriously. Just imagine...




Dare to dream.... dare to dream...

Too bad this will never happen.



Guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with MORE PICTURES OF GRANDIA!!





P.S. Feena is hot.

Is there a possibility I could save my ass ? It would be quite strange for a European to get banned by guy in Japan from an American site. It sucks.

[kiryogi]

There's a pretty awesome blog for famitsu news I just found!

Maybe that can help ease the pain.

The day Kiryogi saved my ass from Sp0rsk's wrath. Thanks brotha

[Shard]

This is going to take a period of adjustment.

[Kenka]

I think it's OK now. Thanks to Sp0ork for not having sent the thread to Oblivion.


Anyway, I didn't know anything until now about this DS Gundam game. Kind of a surprise.

[AmMortal]

Some how its not as interesting as it used to be.

Really?

[nelsonroyale]

big score for yakuza....Im hoping the story is strong...

[batbeg]

Bugged the hell out of Sp0rsk kept closing the threads :-\ Every week usually starts with nothing but dates and/or scores then it gradually builds up, it's somewhere for us to discuss stuff AS the news comes in.

That said, nothing much to say anymore. I can't believe they're doing a RE0 port, but I hope like fuck they add something to it.

[Tenbatsu]

I tried the demo on the PS3, it doesnt feel as good as Yakuza 1 and 2.

[Kenka]

[...] but I hope like fuck they add something to it.

They basically add nothing. Just check the neighbour thread. it's all about Capcom raping there

Last two threads weren't even translated yet which is where he took issue.

[batbeg]

They had scores and dates translated, I was in the previous threads. We also had Resident Evil news.

[Lobster]

Why you guys surprised at MP3 score? Its pretty common knowledge that Japan hates FPS.

[Kenka]

I wouldn't say that. They bought a decent amount of Medal of Honour : Rising Sun inspite the fact the main opponents ARE japanese soldiers.

Probably were misinformed.

Whats the number btw? Best selling FPS in Japan?

[Tieno]

Halo 3: 10; 9; 9; 9

I'd think something like MP3 would be more up to Japanese tastes with all the freaky bosses.
