I wonder if Ganbarion is working on a WU or 3DS game. Also, Acquire's answer is pretty Japanese. It reminds me of that time Inafune said he sees every new platform as a challenge that he must overcome. I just see new platforms as a new way to play video games.

At least two of them weren't incredibly vague.

Japan's Christmas message to the rest of the world: Look everyone! We're doing something! A thing! Hello? Please respond...

I like how most everyone was vague, except D3 and CC2, who were just like "fuck it, here's what we're releasing". :lol

Also, please let Onechanbara Z be getting a PS3 port! :D

Disagree.

They are the best company at taking a liscense and making a great fanservice product.

I want them to adapt every piece of non-game media I enjoy.

I like Asura more than Naruto, and I liked Solatorobo more than Naruto. I'd rather see them try something completely new than just spending a lot of effort on (really well done) fanservice.

And yeah, I know they're making Solatorobo 2.

Metal Slug got my attention. Would be awesome to see a game with sprite updates like King of Fighters 12/13's.

Aquaplus: In 2013, there are plans to release one title after another. - there will be atleast 2 PS3 title (Utawarerumono 2, Tears to tiara 2), and project jasmine and probably announcement of To heart 3.

Compile Heart / Idea Factory: A new title in a popular series, of course something new that exceeds the imagination, is being prepared. new PS3 JRPG?

Imageepoch: They are preparing to publish their fourth and fifth titles. Finally a JRPG that will be localized and released by NISA? ( that partnership wasn't just for BRS right?)

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan: 2013 will be a bright new year and they will deliver surprising entertainment to everyone. finally TLG and eventually Wild Arms 6 ( and hoping for more SCEJ console output)

Yep, nothing will change unless they make a new game from scratch, a new series or they revive a classic. The latter two probably aren't happening.

Chrono Phantasma is still a thing and I'm pretty sure we'll see something else for BB before ASW moves on to next gen. Next gen will probably be an opportunity to resume Guilty Gear. We'd be lucky if SNK does anything that isn't KOF next gen.

Metal Slug is cool, but I hope SNK has some more new games in store for 2013 as well. I know they still need to be cautious, but I'm itching for another fighter revival/sequel from them.

Famitsu proving how relevant they are to the gaming industry in Japan, by getting such hot scoops from such important gaming companies. A fascinating read once again, Famitsu!

Yeah, weren't we supposed to see more of Killer is Dead before the end of the year? So much for that.

The Last Guardian. For the love of god already!

It will be announced on E3 as a PS4 launch title and then delayed at the last moment "due to difficulties in bringing such an ambitious game to a new platform". There'll be no more news at the major games events in 2014 and then we'll hear the game is finally canceled. In 2015 we finally find out only a trailer was ever made.

Consoles: Sequels and spin offs to a bunch of tired out game franchises that were conceived 10-30 years ago.

Handhelds (mostly just 3DS and perhaps iOS): A plethora of new franchises that people actually want to play, but never see the light of day outside of Japan.
