Xbox360 Skate | 8-8-7-8(31/40)

That's funny, since it should be at least 9/9/9/9. 10/10/10/10 would also be acceptable.

[flipping_heck]

Disgaea DS makes me happy.. hopefully not a port of any of the previous games

[Defuser]

Not this shit again... Why do you guys think that you managed to get the scores but not other info plus not updating OP the means you can start the famitsu thread?

[batbeg]

Not this shit again... Why do you guys think that you managed to get the scores but not other info plus not updating OP the means you can start the famitsu thread?

Because this is basically how it's always worked, even when Neo started the threads. The information always dripped along and the thread shouldn't be locked, because there's still shit for us to discuss in here.

Like Disgaea DS :D Nice. Is Summon Water another Nippon Ichi game or...?

[Kafel]

PMed DDP infos to soul. Yell at him if he doesn't post them. :D

[Scribble]

Is there any more Musou Orochi 2 info?

[rhfb]

That's funny, since it should be at least 9/9/9/9. 10/10/10/10 would also be acceptable.

skate was a good game, but it had alot of issues that held it back.

skate2 should be the best skating game ever though if they can fix the issues (FRAMERATE/ECT) and add in new things.

[Durante]

I think it's unlikely that the DS Disgaea game would be a port, but stranger things have happened. It's more likely a spinoff. More information would be nice.

[soul]

PMed DDP infos to soul. Yell at him if he doesn't post them. :D

It's pretty similar to Ketsui:

Price undetermined, development is 30% done, game uses original elements, Xbox Live-compatible, more powerful graphics.

extra info;

- It seems to say something about "plus playing", perhaps it's something similar to a "new game+" aka persona 3/ffx-2. Not certain though.
- Support online downloads.

Its an anime game, not sure from which company.


OP Updated.

[Mechar]

Disgaea DS sounds really nice. I´m curious if they perhaps might have some touch screen-elements in the game or maybe a versus mode over Wi-Fi. That would be awesome.

[monkeylite]

Disgaea DS news is making me very happy today.

[Troidal]

Not like its news or anything, but Famitsu definitely hates military FPS.


EDIT: Ohh,　the DS version. Reading comprehension FTL.

[drohne]

anyone planning on checking out that legend of kage game? i'm curious, but probably not curious enough to buy it

[monkeylite]

Not like its news or anything, but Famitsu definitely hates military FPS.

It is CoD4 DS. The scores they gave are too generous.

[cw_sasuke]

Not like its news or anything, but Famitsu definitely hates military FPS.

it`s the ds version...gawd....

btw. disgaea ds ? YES......

[Mechar]

Not like its news or anything, but Famitsu definitely hates military FPS.

Shooters in general aren´t that popular in Japan. But the score was pretty generous. What did the consoleversions score?

[sixteen-bit]

Ketsui get a home port.

Not possibly native res, but I'll take it.

[Bust Nak]

THE LEGEND OF KAGE 2

Ark! What is this? It was my favorite action game on the NES, now there is a sequal?

europe too please

[Moor-Angol]

another issue without any Wii announcement...

HotD2&3 and Deca Sporta were not reviewed on Famitsu ?

[Datrio]

No scans yet?

OH SNAP!

[near]

Finally a Disgaea DS.

[Eteric Rice]

another issue without any Wii announcement... HotD2&3 and Deca Sporta were not reviewed on Famitsu ?

Indeed.

More Wii announcements please. :(

[AniHawk]

- Disgaea DS: 魔界の王子と赤い月 aka Prince of the Demon World and the Red Moon(Sorry for the rough translation)

Wow. I remember when they were doing the online poll from the NISA website. Apparently the people in Japan were taking it kinda seriously. The girl who had to do it was pretty much given last-minute notice. Felt bad for her

[Captain N]

I'll be playing tons of DBZ for about a week..

[DMPrince]

were there any pictures for Disgaea DS or just information or just announcement?

[Segata Sanshiro]

D-did they just quad-seven Contra 4? :o

[Error]

D-did they just quad-seven Contra 4? :o

TOO HARDCORE

2d sidescrolling games generally don't do well in famitsu these days.

[botticus]

D-did they just quad-seven Contra 4? :o

It doesn't even get to be called Contra 4 in Japan.

[Dascu]

Gamefront.de is reporting a new Wii game from Taito: Space Invaders Get Even.

[GreenNight]

Disgaea DS better be a goddamn spinoff and not another port.

[Fuu]

Took them a while for Disgaea DS. Does the article talk about when in the timeline it will be set? "Prince of the Demon World and the Red Moon" sounds like a port of the first game, I hope that's not the case.

Is there any more info on their other to be announced games?

[lyre]

D-did they just quad-seven Contra 4? :o

They gave all the MM Zero games similar scores. It's a well known fact Famitsu sucks at 2d action/platformers.

And on a simlar topic, looks like Kage 2 shows promise of the same thing. *crosses fings*

[batbeg]

Gamefront.de is reporting a new Wii game from Taito: Space Invaders Get Even.

Awwwwwww snap. Hope it's WiiWare :D

[jarrod]

Wow. Cave's single handedly made 360 the shooter console in Japan. Ketsui and Do Don Pachi Daioujou? Not XBLA but full retail?! Cave self publishing?!?

I also wonder where this puts Arika's Ketsui DS "conversion"? Though I guess it's different enough (boss rush + competitive play only) to be seen as a complimentary release?

[soul]

Gamefront.de is reporting a new Wii game from Taito: Space Invaders Get Even.

Yeah there's a small article about it in this issue, I don't see WiiWare anywhere though.

[the year 20XX]

anyone planning on checking out that legend of kage game? i'm curious, but probably not curious enough to buy it

Same here. It looks really cool, and I actually kinda like Legend of Kage, but I'm going to need some other gaffer to tell me it isn't terrible.

[FoxhoundNL]

DISGAEA DS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now let's hope it's not a port of the first one.

[phalestine]

Cool news on Disgaea, I know the visuals wont be dispointing, but the Audio is what I am worried about.

[B.K.]

Disgaea DS better be a goddamn spinoff and not another port.

Based on the title, it might be a prequel. The Demon Price is most likely referring to Laharl and the Red Moon part might be reference the fact that his mother gave her life to save him and became a Prinny. In the first Disgaea, Etna said Laharl's father died saving the Netherworld from an invading Overlord from another Netherworld. Maybe Disgaea DS will tell that story.

[icecream]

Except by the time the OP made this thread, most of the information was pretty much there. So there's little reason not to take the extra 5 minutes to make the first post complete.

And it's not 'Summon Water,' it's Suika. Probably a port of the ADV that's been released on the PS2/PC.

[PataHikari]

How the heck could a Disgaea DS game be a port?

PS2 to DS Port. Come on that's silly.

[Chris Michael]

I don't know what it is, but it looks cool.

[Chris Michael]

were there any pictures for Disgaea DS or just information or just announcement?

Disgaea DS: Prince something announced, no screens

dangit, didn't mean to double post. oh well.

[Zoe]

I don't know what it is, but it looks cool.

Pretty sure they have that on the PSP as well.
