[icecream]

Anyway, is that Higurashi no naku koro ni DS game a port of the PS2 games?

Yes, with the usual extra content to draw in more sales. It's also going to be split up into 4 volumes.

[soul]

My drill, let me show you it.

Day mothereffin ONE!

 

[sprsk]

why are they showing the Yian Kut Ku armor set?

It's armor meant for G level hunters. It looks similar but they have really high stats.

 

[klee123]

Day one for Valkyria, hopefully Play-asia puts theLE up for preorder soon.

 

[JDSN]

Mikami interview summary, please.

 

[BitchTits]

What game is this? Looks kinda fun!

 

[soul]

I refuse to believe there are no more scans

 

[Laguna]

Tales of Symphonia is looking better and better. Namco will regret their previous PR statements for this game.

 

[neo2046]

 

[Bebpo]

Wow, that's an excellent use of Cave's resources. I'm sure bebpo and co will be thrilled.

Maybe it's a different Cave :\

Or maybe they need to make some profit so they can port their shmups!

 

[Flakster99]

Tales of Symphonia is looking better and better. Namco will regret their previous PR statements for this game.

As the install base of the Wii continues to increase in relation to the PS3 by almost 3 to 1 and then some, it just makes sense for Namco to put forth a better effort, a more focused, serious piece of software. I think we can lump SE into the mix as well, looking forward to their more serious Wii wares, pun intended.

 

[Ike]

Valkyrie looks incredible, I also hope Luminous Arc 2 can improve over its predecessor.

 

[nestea]

What game is this? Looks kinda fun!

Girly man.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

DBZ: BL 6/5

5th June? Sounds like no PSP DBZ this year then.

Btw, ToS-R doesn't have a release date yet in this issue, I'm starting to doubt that 4/24 info we got...

 

[harSon]

That's a DS game? Looks pretty damn good.

 

[Durante]

Toli no Hoshi ~Aerial Planet~ (PS2) 8/8/7/8
That's the interesting-looking N1 game from a while back, right? What did they say about it?

Also, VotB is looking even better than usual. UE3 devs take note :lol

In my opinion the Tales of Series is a series that is mostly driven buy its fanbase (looking at its last games a shrinking one). This fanbase probably consist of well informed hardcore gamers, that even now have Tales of Symphonia "2" producers words from last year in mind. Namco is obviously putting more effort now it was even postponed but it will take Namco alot of work (marketing-wise) to change peoples perception.
