Furai no Shiren 3 (Wii / Sega / February 28th 2008 Release)
- There will be "trap floors" that restrict your actions (ex. floors that restrict your from using staves, and floors that restrict you from using scrolls)
- How item / tool upgrades work:
1. First your have to find a special kind of floor called "Ryumyaku" (dragon's pulse), and place an item on it. The Ryumyakus have elemental attributes and how your item changes is based on the Ryumyaku's element.
2. Once you place an item on the Ryumyaku, you have to use a "scroll of barrier" and create a barrier that surrounds the Ryumyaku.
3. You can break the barrier whenever you want, or have a monster walk into which will break it as well. After the barrier breaks, you can pick up your upgraded item.


Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP / Capcom / March 13th 2008 Release)
Information on Narugakuruga (no idea what the English name is)
It has extremely sensitive hearing, blade shaped wings, an extremely tough tail, and is very agile and aggressive!
- In a special project between Famitsu and MHP2nd called "In search of the ultimate Gunlance!", we worked on the development of a Famitsu exclusive "ultimate Gunlance!"

About Character Data Transfers
1. All the data on your "guild card" can be transferred for use anywhere outside of the training grounds.
2. All "accessories" on your equipment will be removed and placed in your item box. Some equipment will have different skill requirements than before.
3. All completed quest information, the state of your Airuu Kitchen and your Farm, your insignias (?) and titles can be transferred. Also, the item box can now hold up to 800 items in its beginning state.
4. Part of the gallery, and some downloaded quests from Monster Hunter 2nd cannot be transferred.
5. You will be able to take your character and start a new game on 2ndG. You will be able to change your sex, name and appearance, and all items with a rarity of 1-3 will be transferred to your new game. All items above rarity 4 will be turned into money and a part of the money will be given to you at the start of the game.

This week I will post the news, and Mandoric will translate it. In doing so he will learn a valuable lesson that posting Ys Origin PSP news that isn't true makes Aeana sad and he should not play with her feelings! :D

Sorry for mistakes on the translations. I'm doing this really quickly.

flinging feces ---->
Given that my computer crashed a year or so ago, I no longer have access to language packs. I borrowed an legitmate Windows XP startup disc from someone (presumably he hadn't used it yet since the registration did not show two seperate users) and proceeded to install it on my empy HDD. I returned the disc to him afterwards.


...And now, all I see are boxes. Boxes.

Seeing as how the other scores are the same, I don't think so.

But I defer...

Silver Eclipse (PS2/Nine's fox/Spring '08)
-A remake of the [Fanatica] PC Game, i.e. ADV
&#12539;PS2 version has original characters
&#12539;Character illustrations and CGs will be redrawn for the port

You mean digress?
 
Survival Kids&#12288;8 7 7 7

Wait a second - Survival Kids DS 2 (Lost in Blue 2) already came out earlier this year - is this already a third one? Or is this a PSP version of the game - or something totally different?

The only piece of news so far is about some PS2 conversion of an ero-game no one cares about, so I'll spare you guys.
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
Scores that make sense: FF4 very good. Card Hero awesome. Patapon awesome.

Scores that don't make sense: No way Lost in Blue 3 is that good. No way Kiki Kai World is that bad. No way Crazy Climber Wii is that good. Time Crisis 4... well... that's certainly an out-of-mainstream score for it.
 
If by any completely absurd chance the details from the Crimson Room (DS) review are posted, I would greatly appreciate translations of them, no matter how rough. I'm very curious as to what exactly was done to make the transition from online game to DS title a meaningful one. Like tower defense, solve-a-room games are a dime-a-dozen and I'm curious how a collection of them holds up as a commercial product.
