Macross Ace Frontier (PSP, Bandai Namco, 2008 Fall)
- Developed by Art Dink
- Comprises of SDF Macross, DYRL, Mac+ and Mac7.

Raiden IV (360, Moss, Sept 11 2008)
- Xbox360 mode adds 2 stages to the Arcade mode for a total of 7.
- Xbox Live score ranking.

Persona 4 (PS2, Atlus, July 10 2008)
- The last party member, Naoto Shirogane, is voiced by Park Romi. It's the kid in the detective get up.
- His Persona is Sukuna Hikona. The Persona looks like a caped crusader character with a Bee mask and a Gundam beamsaber.

Famitsu TOS review bits :

- Some aspects of the game system have been improved compared to the previous game, such as the tempo, the production value, as well as the strategic aspect.
- Plenty of events
- The battles difficulty has been upped. Increasing the experience is indispensable in this case.
- Would have benefited from more polish
- Its numerous references to the previous game (characters, story) make that there no prerequisite (to enjoy the game), but it would really be better to play the previous one before.


Not to give any credibility to the Famitsu scores and reviews, but although on one hand, a relatively crappy score for a hyped game in Famitsu tends to a pretty bad sign, on the other hand, the mini-review tells me mostly what I want to hear in terms of positive aspect...
Guess we will have to wait for some more detailled impressions (J-Gaffers ?) to know more precisely what kind of game it turned to be.

 

[Yaweee]

Should be another Persona 4 article, if their 2-week pattern holds true.

 

[Kagari]

Macross for PSP? HMM...

 

[bryehn]

edit: oh :/

Macross Ace Frontier (PSP, Bandai Namco, 2008 Fall)
- Developed by Art Dink
- Comprises of SDF Macross, DYRL, Mac+ and Mac7.

Hopefully the YF-19 is in this game...as an unlockable or something.

 

[duckroll]

I was hoping I'd see a Macross Frontier game show up soon

It's not a Macross Frontier game though.

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

What? It's like 5 hours earlier than normal.

 

[Narag]

Hopefully the YF-19 is in this game...

I'd assume so if it Mac+ is part of it.

 

[Troidal]

Macross...Art Dink...?
Is this a SRPG? :/

 

[duk]

Raiden!!!! yess!!!

 

[duckroll]

Macross...Art Dink...?
Is this a SRPG? :/

Why would it be? Art Dink makes the PSP Gundam games with Bandai Namco. I'm assuming this will be the Macross version of it.

 

[neoanarch]

RAIDEN?!!

Raiden IV (360, Moss, Sept 11 2008)
- Xbox360 mode adds 2 stages to the Arcade mode for a total of 7.
- Xbox Live score ranking.

HOT! Raiden IV was awesome in the arcades.

 

[zoku88]

That's a really bad name for a Macross game :lol

 

[AranhaHunter]

Hopefully something interesting this week.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Just for an advance notice, any new Wii games?

The issue two weeks ago was great, with Tenchu 4 and Rune Factory Frontier, hopes there's at least one new game this week!

 

[schuelma]

Should get the ToS:KoR review

 

[Chris Michael]

[Hero of Legend]

Should get the ToS:KoR review

Great!

Just checked, and the original on the GC got a 34!

Edit: Shit, so KoR got a 31? :/

Oh well, I wasn't expecting it to be mindblowing anyway.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Should get the ToS:KoR review

I predict 37/40.

Edit- I fail.

 

[grandjedi6]

Why are you caring about a Famitsu review score?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Why are you caring about a Famitsu review score?

It is the first review is it not? And the fact it got a lower score than it's predecessor isn't very assuring. :/

 

[duckroll]

I regret making the thread now. It seems there isn't much more news. Another shitty week. At least there's a Macross game and the Raiden 4 home port is confirmed again...

 

[Firestorm]

Famitsu's scores say more about the company's marketing budget for the game than the game's actual quality.

 

[schuelma]

Blah

So its safe to turn in for the night?

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Oh wow, didn't expect ToS to be that low.

Oh well. I'm interested in further impressions now.

 

[BoilersFan23]

I pretty much expected Raiden IV on 360, since I remember UFO Interactive mentioned something about Raiden IV on 360. Awesome news to see it confirmed.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Is Raiden the same as Raiden Project? Because that game kicked ass on PS1.

 

[sprsk]

Great, at least it means I might make it home before Hexagon ends tonight!

Band Brothers DX 99910 -- Fuck yeah bitches.

 

[Servizio]

Apologies for being out of the loop, but why are Famitsu scans bannable now?

 

[jarrod]

shooterbox strikes again!

 

[Llyranor]

Raiden IV for 360 is awesome. But if even Raiden Fighter Aces doesn't get localized, bad sign

 

[hteng]

shit, no Super Robot Taisen Z news at all? damnit, all i know is there's a PV showing on June 28, argg

 

[sprsk]

shooterbox strikes again!

Except its another game that should be a fucking XBLA title.

[duckroll]

I don't know why anyone bothers to stay up for Famitsu news anymore. We don't even have scans here anymore. If anything interesting does pop up, it'll probably be better to get all the information the next day anyway rather than staying up for bits and pieces.

 

[Rawkus]

Band Bros DX - 99910

Can't wait!

 

[schuelma]

Usually I don't, but since the news started trickling in a lot earlier than usual I decided to wait it out.

 

[rollingstart]

Macross for PSP has me excited if it is like the PS2 game or even like the PSP Gundam games.

 

[Jonnyram]

Great, at least it means I might make it home before Hexagon ends tonight!

Do you like Hexagon? I love Hexagon.

 

[lupin23rd]

guilebison.gif

Yeah but then MS would tell them to fuck off.

 

[Chris Michael]

 

[sprsk]

I loooooooooooooooove Hexagon. Famitsu day has kept me from watching it lately though.

 

[AceBandage]

There's a scan with various games, including P4, Versus XIII, and... Animal Crossing Wii.

WHAT!

There's only one small screen. Looks just like the DS version to me.

Never mind.

What.

 

[Kyoufu]

Oh my, is it a reminder to the public that the game is still in production or is there actually new info/screens?

 

[duckroll]

Should be another Persona 4 article, if their 2-week pattern holds true.

Yup. Another 2 page article. This week it features the last party member, Naoto Shirogane, voiced by Park Romi. It's the kid in the detective get up. His Persona is Sukuna Hikona. The Persona looks like a caped crusader character with a Bee mask and a Gundam beamsaber. :lol

 

[sprsk]

!


ACWii? But they had their "Monthly Nintendo News" column last week?

I bet its an article asking where ACWii is, and this is another case of someone trying to interpret scans without knowing any Japanese. It is, isn't it!

 

[Jaruru]

Tales of Symphonia: Knights of Ratatosk - 8887

GREAT SCORE for Band Bros DX~!

 

[Rpgmonkey]

The Versus XIII pics are old.

This is why you don't listen to Chris Michael. :lol

It's just the Top 10 most wanted games section. Animal Crossing Wii is always there, and they use the DS version as a screenshot. Same with Versus XIII. No news there.
