duckroll said:It might be from one of the Famitsu mags. The rumors read like Famitsu's rumor section that I used to translate stuff from. Still, the chance of stuff coming true are like 1/5 usually.
Acosta said:A Jump RPG would be a great idea, but I wonder if they could bring it outside of Japan. If is a Japanese only game it would lose sales potential.
ethelred said:Nope. It'd be the same problem as Jump Ultimate Stars or the Super Robot Wars games.
:lol :lol :lolAlso compared to DS, there arn't much users who get these ROM images illegally on PSP.

:lol
It's all because of New PSP's robust sales, instead of poor sales performances how those RPGs did on DS.

ethelred said:This is pretty plausible. If you look at the recent performance of Square Enix games on the DS, they've really been doing pretty poorly. Crystal Chronicles, It's a Wonderful World... they've got to be looking at the sales of Crisis Core and the hype for KH: Birth by Sleep and seeing the potential here.
Wouldn't it help the logical leap if Crisis Core outsold DQM (or FFIII if you want to compare apples to apples) first?ethelred said:This is pretty plausible.

It probably is then, they lurk on 2ch all the time and probably got the scans from there as well.Kurosaki Ichigo said:Gamefront is reporting these rumors as GAMELABO ones, btw.
I doubt they'd use any of those games to make this decision.ethelred said:This is pretty plausible.

Did I miss an interview? They want to support all platforms equally, not release games multi-platform, the only game that they have in the works that is coming out on multiple platforms is The Last Remnant.ethelred said:It's possible. But if you look at the comments Square Enix folks have been making lately (like Shinji Hashimoto) they really have been stressing the need for more of a multiplatform approach. I wouldn't be surprised if this is something they're seriously looking at doing.
True.Forgotten Ancient said:As a major DS fan, I'd buy a PSP and their DQ games if they were to come out for it. The audio/graphical jump would be so worth it. Just keep the loading times in check.
Rancid Mildew said:I hope this is true. The PSP desperately needs more attention from Square Enix. I don't see how a ground up DS game can be seamlessly ported to the PSP though.
This rumor doesn't make sense with Square Enix's business strategy. If you are giong to make a remake for DS and PSP, they have to be made at different times. Then, you can rape consumers twice. If they are made at the same time, people would arguably buy the PSP versions.Forgotten Ancient said:As a major DS fan, I'd buy a PSP and their DQ games if they were to come out for it.

JoeMartin said:When it says new DS does it mean a redesign a la DS Lite 2.0 or a generational leap for the DS?
camineet said:there's no way a next-generation DS is coming out in the next 2 years.
2010 at the soonest.
I think Square is very likely trying to find the exact amount of time between rapings that maximizes revenue.Forgotten Ancient said:No reason they couldn't wait 6 months to put out the PSP version. They'd definitely make money off of suckers such as myself.:lol
Pureauthor said:It will start being talked about at Nintendo shortly after a competitor worth talking about about reveals their own new handheld.
Forgotten Ancient said:Just so we're not being vague here, you're talking about the PSP2, right?
Pureauthor said:Or the XBoy or the Dreamcat or the Madden-Portable. Whatever.

creamsugar said:NOTE: ALL OF THESE ARE RUMORS
1. New version of DS next spring, with a mobile digital TV/radio tuner.
2. Square Enix make a RPG for DS with Shonen JUMP characters.
3. DQ 9 also available for PSP.

Lightning really likes Sony. Lightning really likes S-E. There aren't any DQ games for the PSP yet. Conflict ensues.Pureauthor said:'Deserve'? I'm not sure I follow.

A Link to the Snitch said:Uhh
DQ Monsters Joker is the best-selling current-gen SE handheld game so far, right?
The idea of "robust PSP sales" and "CC's success" are kind of weak reasonings, considering that DQMJ has done more than 2x what CC's done so far.

charlequin said:The reasoning provided in justification for the DQ9-on-PSP thing is pretty funny. We pretty much knew DQ9 wasn't going to make 2007 well before the PSP started to show its most recent signs of life.
I figure the chances of this being true are a little bit worse than the chances of a multiplat FF XIII due to Horii's influence. I'm also pretty sure that there's not much chance this one is happening unless the other is also happening.
So for future reference, could anyone interested in this rumor solely for system wars ammunition line up and tell the class whether they'd prefer FFXIII and DQ9 to both go multi-platform, or both to stay exclusive?
