That Marvelous game seems pretty interesting, is the No more heroes team working on that? Forgot their name but I think they were supposed to be working on something else. That MMO is pretty cool being free and all. Paying for items seems ok if it doesn't get out of hand.

 

[speedpop]

Looks absolutely crazy.

 

[duckroll]

Thanks a bunch Jonny.

Any idea who's actually working on Rainy Woods?

Fuck, I can't wait to play with the level builder.

It sounds like theres no game share for multiplayer though :\ Oh well, everyone who owns a DS should have this game.

In multi you can co-op boss characters or see who can get the most points.

It seems so similar to one of GM's previous games, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower,_Sun,_and_Rain

Not too similar but.. rain in the title

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at in the Bangai O scans.

How exactly does this game play?

Press button, everything explodes, giggle with joy.

That's the best I can explain Bangaioh but it ROCKS.

No, I mean, how does it control and how do you move around and stuff?

 

[STG!]

Bangaioh, quality. Should be an interesting control method, I'm guessing you can use the buttons (like the DC port) or the stylus to shoot?

Oh, and hells yeah for Hot Shot's Golf Portable 2, the first one is easily my most played PSP game!

Here's a story intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQxRCW3hKNw

Here's some gameplay (mind you, it's a speed run and this game is more of a "for points" kind of thing) I couldn't find any good vids that weren't on niconico

[Son of Godzilla]

Think dualstick shooter locked inside a platforming stage. It's fuckawesome, but controls were a bitch on the DC and I cry thinking about playing this on a DS. WHY ISNT THIS ON A PLATFORM WITH DUALSTICKS?

 

[drohne]

i'm a little concerned that bangaioh spirits isn't showing any signs of weird cartoony characters; the absurd cast and dialogue really were half the fun. i hope the sequel hasn't sobered up. otherwise it looks awesome -- they haven't compromised the insanity at all for the ds's tiny screen :lol

They talk about that in the bottom right corner of the scan. All it says though is "But what about riki and mami??! Well... Oh! Gotta go!" So it sounds like they are in, just gotta wait for the next time they show off the game.

God knows I will be fucking lpaying the shit otu of this in a couple weeks.

 

[djtiesto]

Whoa, never thought I'd see a new Bangai-O... today is an awesome day for news, between that, and both Ikaruga and Rez on XBLA.

That looks pretty cool.

 

[STG!]

Gameplay differences aside, I didn't think Bangaioh played that badly on the DC using the buttons to shoot (I adapted), but after recently playing the N64 version... yeah, analog to shoot is very nice.

 

[sprsk]

That looks pretty cool.

That is because it is. The sad thing is that neither of those videos show off the awesome translation.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

God, and I thought Bangaio was hard enough to control with a DC pad.

Controls are the only thing I'm concerned about, too. I got pretty damn good at using the default DC setup, but it wasn't ideal.

Being left-handed, I'm praying that the DS version doesn't require d-pad + stylus input at the same time or something.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Yasuo:
Hey, Riki! Riki, is that you?
Riki:
Yasuo?! But you're Yasuo, aren't you!
Yasuo:
I left school 3 years ago! I'm a newspaper Reporter now.
Yasuo:
I haven't forgoten your punch back then. It wasn't too bad.
Mami:
What are you doing in such a place?
Yasuo:
I'm investigating the crimes of the gang. I have this Tekiyan 55.
Riki:
Typical Yasuo! Shall we have a fight like in the old days?
Yasuo:
I've wanted that for a Very long time! This time I won't lose!

I found the full script: http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=35037

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Last time I played through this game, I took screencaps of every line of dialogue.

783 jpegs. ~26 MB.

Still need to properly tag about 90% of them.

Too bad translations like that are pretty much non-existant nowadays.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I think the genius of Bangai-O's script is that you can never tell whether the Engrish-laden translation is intentional or not. I thought it was kind of annoying for the first few stages, but once I started slowing down and actually reading through all of it I just found it to be hysterical. It completely fits the wacky nature of the game.

Sweet, ANOTHER game set in ancient Japan. I dunno whats more annoying, WW2 rehashes or the ubiquitous ancient Japanese games. I can't wait for the cliches either.

Yakuza 1 ruled.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

the DC version of Bangai-O was actually better than the N64 version IMO...despite the controls on DC being less conducive

 

[meppi]

Wow, I asked for something special and that's exactly what I got with a new Bangaioh.

It looks absolutely fantastic, can't wait to get my hands on it.

I hope they will be using the power-up system of the N64 version. Despite the massive slowdown, I still prefer that version due to the differences in the game system.

[Hcoregamer00]

With Bangaioh, this confirms that the DS has one of the best gaming lineups ever.

I could imagine that once the DS successor is announced I will have more games for it than any one console I ever owned.

Nope, the lack of fighting games is one of the biggest hole in the DS library that need to be fixed. The same with hockey games.

Bleach DS 2nd is good, but I agree with you that we need more.

Actually, since I will buy a slim PSP soon, I don't care anymore (but I'll get hyped if there's an DS announcement)

You just made your own post irrelevant.

Eh? I DO want fighting games for the DS over the PSP since it have a better battery life but since the slim PSP D-Pad is apparently good enough for fighting games AND I can play Garou on it, why not?

 

[jarrod]

Nope, the lack of fighting games is one of the biggest hole in the DS library that need to be fixed.

Agreed. I'm actually a little suprised we haven't seen Capcom roll out the usual favorites with a "for WFC" subtitle yet.

And gimme VF Kids DS plz SEGA.

 

[kay]

Nobody mentioned that Konami pulled a Koei/Sega by announcing they are not releasing Silent Hill 5 in Japan on the 360? I really don't see why not, they could generate enough sales to override the cost of production since the PS3 version will be translated.

Actually it's been mentioned, but I think you're misinterpreting it too... Famitsu just mentioned the PS3 version, but there's been plenty of times where they've failed to mention the 360 version of a multi-platform release. Don't take it as final word just yet.

Also, VF5 on 360 is playable at TGS for some reason. I dunno if that means it will come out here or not.
