JordanLMiller · Jan 31, 2012

Announced to released in like a week? Whoa...

abstract alien · Jan 31, 2012

Looks like pikmin that got turned into humans, then turned into Miis.

Or Tellitubbies.

gamergirly · Jan 31, 2012

coolio

Meier · Jan 31, 2012

Out in a week? Crazy Japanese devs and their short windows between announcement and release. This seems like a new record.

Jonnyram · Jan 31, 2012

Looks pretty cool.

Vic · Jan 31, 2012

Teletubbies: The RPG (Japan Edition).

Faster than an OT on a Sunday morning, perhaps. Genius Sorority has been out of it lately, but I liked their work on the Gamecube Pokemon games.

Boney · Jan 31, 2012

And you guys thought Kiki Trick had set a record.

At least this game will sell!

watershed · Jan 31, 2012

Wow this game looks surprisingly good and I love the mii integration. Hopefully it gets a demo in NA too at some point.

So they got downgraded from making Pokemon Console RPGs and Dragon Quest games to digital knock-off pokemon games? How the mighty have fallen.

Brazil · Jan 31, 2012

Looks awesome for an eShop offering.

I'll definitely pick it up if it makes the jump across the pond.

Were they ever really mighty? They don't have a history of making good games.

Boney · Jan 31, 2012

watch this be released on the west ~~in a year~~ never

Chet Rippo · Jan 31, 2012

Cool, but what kind of RPG is it?

lordfroakie · Jan 31, 2012

Looks like it uses the camera as well:

DQ Swords and The Pokemon games are good.

They haven't really made much beyond that.

From first hand experience, no their Pokemon games (at least the RPGs) weren't good.

I think they are fun. I like having fun playing games.

Yup. They were both fun Pokémon spin-offs with a pseudo-mainline vibe.

I also really liked having Pokémon DP battles with my friends through Battle Revolution.

I just looked them up to make sure they were whom I thought they were.

I forgot they made Pokemon Battle Revolution. I'm just going to leave it at that.

ActStriker · Jan 31, 2012

That party sorting/creating menu looks straight out of Mii Maker.

And I guess you get new characters by looking around with the camera?

rpmurphy · Jan 31, 2012

Will this be the first new non-dungeon RPG for the 3DS then?

They made XD and Coliseum too.

Codeblue · Jan 31, 2012

Why not just let it appear on the E-shop then announce it a day later?

Ashodin · Jan 31, 2012

Highly intrigued. RPG? Miis? SOLD.

Gravijah · Jan 31, 2012

look at that ethnically diverse cast of characters! good job japan!

Busaiku · Jan 31, 2012

Why is everyone Mr. Driller.

They have a history of making average, boring games, imo. Some flaws here and there but pretty standard fare for games.

I meant more sales-wise. Developing DQ and Pokemon games are pretty significant and now they are making obscure digital release games that are knocking off what they used to make.

Granted do we know who is developing DQX? I don't think L-5 has the time or team for it unless they anounced they were developing it internally this time.

Truth101 said:

Didn't they also make DQ7 or was it just that this studio was composed of a lot of DQ vets?

That's exactly what they did.

Square is developing it entirely internally.

Damn, that 'cover' is expertly designed. Gorgeous.

Zenaku · Jan 31, 2012

The games title doesn't really translate to "Human Interference" (denpa is lit. "electric wave" and is the word used for radio waves and the like) but oh well.

Basically, you use AR to catch the human characters, and use them to travel through a dungeon. Characters with antennae have special skills/abilities.

I wasn't sure but there was something in the back of my head telling me that it was being developed internally. Thanks for the clarification.

This is gonna be great.

And spherical world, just like Animal Crossing Wild World. *___*

Slime · Jan 31, 2012

I've been wanting to see these guys do their own thing for a while. They're made up of people who worked on some great stuff previously (DQVI, VII and the Mother series), but unfortunately they were basically Nintendo's go-to studio for Pokemon spin-offs.

Should be interesting to see how this turns out now that they've been given some freedom.

clay_ghost · Jan 31, 2012

Wait i watch some video and this seems ar heavy in some parts. You get party members form waves in real life?

Takao · Jan 31, 2012

No mention of Nintendo anywhere. I guess they're self-publishing, which would explain why it's such a low key (yes, even for Genius Sonority) release.

Sammy Samusu · Jan 31, 2012

LOL @ the Kinect promo.

jj984jj · Jan 31, 2012

Looks pretty gimmicky. Good thing there's a demo.

pulga · Jan 31, 2012
