The art style of the game really looks like it could be a new game in the series.
Yeah, it's nearly identical. Hopefully, it's not a remake of the original with minor enhancements. I actually enjoyed Rhapsody on the DS.
 
So, Calling is back? It at least looks like more of an actual game than Ju-On for Wii... it'll be interesting to see how it compares to that leaked video from last year, which appeared to be a CG proof-of-concept rather than in-game.

edit: Actually, that old video appeared to be (possibly) on-rails, so maybe that's not quite true.

The original game was Rhapsody. It's not that. I've never seen any screens of the sequels though. Maybe it's a remake of one of the sequels.

WW games also go under their Wii label in the magazine.

Ah. I just hadn't heard anything about any further content for After Years before, so I thought maybe it was just a disc release or something.

Is this the first FullMetal Alchemist game ever released?

I'm pretty sure it's the first on PSP, but there have already been quite a few Fullmetal Alchemist games in the past.

o_O
Seriously?
There are quite a few. At least two PS2 ones I know of (didn't one of them get a US release or am I crazy?) Pretty sure there are a bunch of DS/PSP games but I could be wrong on that account.

There were three PS2 games. Square Enix released the first two in America, but skipped the third.

I'm pretty sure both of the PS2 games got a US release.

I think the brawler DS one did, as well.

Because 2K Games has the MLB license. The only reason Power Pro was released here is because there was a deal made between 2K and Konami. I can't see them doing the same with Konami's realistic baseball games.

But doesn't Konami's real baseball game cover the Japanese league not the US league?

Must have SaGa 2 infos. ;(

Please.
Has there still be no photos of the DSi? As SaGa2 is like the greatest game in ever I'll have to dedicate my first (sob?) DSi purchase to its special DSi.
 
A new Marl Kingdom game? (Possibly?) Awesome.

Too bad NISA botched the US version. I was really looking forward to that game and the treatment it received was terrible.

Oh, and it's definitely not a remake of any of the previous Marl games. These characters (if it is related) are all brand new.

Hey, I figured they would ignore the Wii for FFIV: The After on the account of cellphone makes them more monies. But since this captures other monies (and repeat monies ><;) then yay all around for monies spending.

Should have figured out that Japan wasn't going to be left out after someone ripped the Japanese logo graphics from the dump of the game. (http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/ff4tay/sheet/24516)

Interestingly, the WiiWare version is still subtitled The After Years in Japan instead of the The After.

Interesting indeed.
Yeah, I blocked myself from info on the English version. Just kinda hoped it would come out in for the Wii in Japanese after I canceled my Docomo phone.

There were actually four PS2 games. Three adventure/action titles and Dream Carnival, which was a Power Stone/Smash Bros. clone.

So did PowerPro but that didn't stop a MLB PowerPro when Konami was given a chance (due to 2K deal).

Hey, Beatmania IIDX Empress for PS2. I guess they didn't make the jump after all.

Scans suggest that it'll have over 180 songs and will be released in October. Best IIDX CS ever?

Hoping for a decent Konamistyle LE announcement soon.

SE released the three action/adventure titles on the PS2, but Bandai released Dream Carnival on the PS2 along with the GBA and DS titles. Not really sure why.
