Good job, now I can rename the other thread back, thanks.

Grecco · (09-09-2009, 07:33 AM)

The Tekkaman news makes me happy. Cant wait to see him in the game.

legend166 · (09-09-2009, 07:33 AM)

Super Monkey Ball Athletic is just Step & Roll, right?

onken · (09-09-2009, 07:34 AM)

I was just thinking about SH5 last week. What was the reason for cancelling?

EatChildren · (09-09-2009, 07:35 AM)

Wow, they really, really liked Endless Ocean 2.

john tv · (09-09-2009, 07:53 AM)

Holy shit @ mobile DQIII.

Holy. Shit.

My favorite <3

Gundam v Gundam Next for PS3 is in that new HK mag this week. Not a Japanese mag though.

HOLY SHIT GUYS DRAGON QUEST VI

THAT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY AWESOME

Moor-Angol · (09-09-2009, 08:09 AM)

Tatsunoko is a porting from western edition (online play added, new characters) or a brand new game ?

Acid08 · (09-09-2009, 08:15 AM)

Kinda surprised at how high the WET scores are.

Port

White Man · (09-09-2009, 08:17 AM)

Awesome. I was afraid we'd have to wait like 6 months after the release of 9 to get any news on DQ6!

TwIsTeD · (09-09-2009, 08:17 AM)

damn mad world took forever

I believe they had originally decided not to release it in Japan. I wonder what changed their minds.
It must have been massively edited though, just to get a rating.

Why would you do that? · (09-09-2009, 08:25 AM)

I hate reading Famitsu scores. When I do, I make noises for each number, higher if the number's higher, and in a rhythmical fashion. So that 10 was a spike.

*ahem* anyway, it seems they didn't think House of the Dead: Overkill was that great. It is as I figured. I wonder if they'd understand the references to Grindhouse, or old horror movies in general. I wonder what may have changed between regions...

speedpop · (09-09-2009, 08:28 AM)

What a tease. Coming soon!

Dascu · (09-09-2009, 08:37 AM)

TEKNOMAN BLADE OMG YES

That is AWESOME.

Darkpen · (09-09-2009, 08:39 AM)

I wonder how much they'll be censoring Mad World :S

Mistouze · (09-09-2009, 08:41 AM)

So we're going to get a sequel to Tatsunoko vs Capcom or is it an "International version"?

Yesss DQ 6 is coming to the DS!!!!! I would have thought they'd have kept it for the Wii in anticipation for DQX.

I'd get excited about DQIII mobile too, but I know it will never come over here.

Uuuh they announced it for DS like two years ago.

Yeah, and it hadn't been really mentioned since.

Nice to hear it's eventually on its way.

iPhone/PSP Mini port is the best we can hope.

I'm guessing the Loto trilogy will got to the successor of the DS. Unless they release the GBC games for Virtual Handheld (if that ever comes out).

A VII remake is the one that could go anywhere. Most people agree it would be Wii, but a DS port is way too obvious to forgo.

Can you or someone please elaborate? (Also, are these all 9.9.09 street dates or something?)

AranhaHunter · (09-09-2009, 09:01 AM)

I'm all for it but I doubt that will happen.

I wonder what will happen with DQVII now? DS since all other remakes are there? Wii since DQX is on it? PSN since they can just dump the ISO and make a crapload of money (see FFVII)?

Shadowlink · (09-09-2009, 09:01 AM)

I had a feeling that they'd announce Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars as soon as Capcom said that this game will be shown at TGS. Do we know how many new characters that are left to be announced?

Darkpen · (09-09-2009, 09:01 AM)

(If they use yellow, I can just imagine people saying they're peeing to death :S)

It's just the Japanese title of Step & Roll:

They've made censored trailers for the game. Some of the kill animations were different (for example, you didn't decapitate the Big Bull Crockers).

GhaleonQ · (09-09-2009, 09:11 AM)

Tekkaman's my 2nd Tatsunoko character, but Tekkaman Blade? I hope the other ones are totally unique.

D2M15 · (09-09-2009, 09:18 AM)

So Nier is two games now, and the one previously shown has gone from multiformat to 360-only?

I wonder if the second game will be PS3-only, just to annoy the five or six people in the world that are actually interested in Cavia games in the first place.

It's time to Tek Set bitches! Here's to hoping he's waaaaaaaay faster than OG Tekkaman in TvC and can actually combo... >__>

No way either they put it on WW/DSiW.
They could make much more money by doing a full remake like DQ4-5-6 on DS.

Honestly, I think if Sega of America changes the name to Super Monkey Ball : Weight Trainer, or Athletic Body, the game will sell a ton here.

sprsk · (09-09-2009, 09:39 AM)

DQ3 on iPhone would be bought so fast.

Yeah, but DQ is still something different though - even for SE. With all latest installments being on ds i cant see why they would put it now on something like the iphone....+ controls most likely will suck on the iPhone :-/

but on PSN as a PSP Download it would be nice....
