It's happening.

 

[GooeyHeat]

I dunno, but a silhouette possibly related to Pokemon reminds me of this:

 

[Badosh]

Viva Piñata obviously.

Now THAT is a bomb.

 

[rrs]

A new Harvest Moon game?

Sounds about right.

 

[RawkHawk2010]

maaaan

Dude. For a second I forgot what Kecleon looked like and I thought your avatar was a Jameleon.

But for real:

It's a Zumbug.

 

[Keropon]

A friend of mine used photoshop and...

Yeah, it's a pony.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Wait, I got it!

It's a Grunty from .hack!

 

[KillerTravis]

1.) It's a game.
2.)The game is not Pokemon.
3.) Gamefreak is collaborating with the makers of that game.
4.) Half Life 3 confirmed.

dont play with my heart

 

[Aggrotek]

It's happening.

I was about to post this lol

 

[Salsa]

cubone is back bitches

in pony form

 

[KillerTravis]

Persona 5

Hmm knowing all the facts so far, Persona x Half Life is the most likely. Throw in some Shenmue in there for good measure.

 

[Mariolee]

Shin Megami Tensei x Pokemon

No one is save from the SMT crossover.

 

[BatDan]

I miss this series so much.

 

[Keropon]

...a .Hack game made by GameFreak?

YES, PLEASE

 

[Darryl]

harvest moon looks like the most possible in my eyes. how many game franchises are known around the world with pony/donkeys in them that gamefreak could be working on? i always thought the harvest moon series had some untapped potential as it was. about time we got some news on the next iteration as well.

 

[Bullza2o]

Maybe this is related to the mystery title that Iwata wants to keep under wraps until close to release. Maybe it's Monster Hunter x Persona x Pokemon. If they tease now, some announcement or a direct will happen probably later this month.

 

[Mupod]

A jigglypuff seen from above

 

[Femmeworth]

Twilightsparklemon. Game Freak makes Digimon too, right?

 

[IntelliHeath]

Dammit. I was about to post that.

 

[Trigger]

Persona 5

Don't be silly, Flux. P5 gets revealed Tuesday.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

 

[rockx4]

It's happening.

lol, I thought of that also.

No idea what that game is, but it looks plausible.

Anyone bother to actually translate the Japanese on the webpage? That might have a hint. Or the answer.

 

[Midnight Moon]

This is sooo exciting!!!

 

[Sgt.McTigerbuns]

Looks like a Moomin

came to say this.

 

[Slamtastic]

An adorable Pony pokemon to appeal to certain people.

 

[Tan]

Viva Piñata obviously.

This is exactly what I thought of. Or a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey donkey pokemon.

.hack, a series of RPGs released during the PS2 era by Namco, this is from the Anime adaption though. Basically it was a single-player game that pretended to be a MMORPG, and was pretty fun, if a bit grindy.

Yep, it was in my first post

"The well known game, played all around the world, is about to be reborn thanks to a surprising collaboration"

 

[grandjedi6]

If no international page pops up, its surely a japanese focused collaboration despite the "played throughout the world" line.

Though its probably just a promotion with some horse mascot from a japanese variety show none of us know about.

 

[Keyouta]

If it's a GameFreak franchise, it would obviously be Pokemon, but I think it would be quite interesting and pretty cool if GameFreak is collaborating on another company's franchise.

Finally, GameFreak x Namco Bandai, or GameFreak x Atlus.

Edit: Ah yes, Pocket Monster Hunter would be awesome. Totally forgot about that.

i fixes it

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

When would this be revealed? There doesn't seem to be a countdown timer on the site or anything. Could it possibly be announced at Pokémon Sunday?

Digimon made by GameFreak. Someone page Professor Beef.

 

[Erv]

it definitely looks like a pony but i'm trying to think of collaborations that make sense.maybe monster hunter?

 

[upandaway]

Man, that horse has a pretty big head.

Ignoring Pokemon (would GF really call Pokemon merely "well known", c'mon now), the only IP they have that could apply for that description, in a pinch, is Drill Dozer.. so that can't be it either. How exciting!

 

[phoenix3934]

Maybe this is CoroCoro's "scoop of the century".

 

[grandjedi6]

The only media thing I can think of with Shetland Ponies is Hark, A Vagrant. And I seriously doubt its that.

 

[flippedb]

Hmm knowing all the facts so far, Persona x Half Life is the most likely. Throw in some Shenmue in there for good measure.

And it's actually going to be an F-zero like racer.

 

[Erv]

If it's not a collaboration with an existing nintendo franchise i'm going with monster hunter or maybe it's based off some type of final fantasy creature

 

[Mariolee]

When would a possible announcement be? The next issue of Coro Coro?

 

[randomhugs]

[Watch Da Birdie]

I got it!

It's actually a chibified version of Red Hare, Lu-Bu's horse.

Pokemon x Dynasty Warriors!

 

[PorygonVandal]

Solitiba? Solitaire!? Card game!?

I don't see how you could conclude that.

I hope not, that's a long time from now (I think)

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

CoroCoro's being released early this time again (around the...12th?), so that's less than a month since it'll leak around the 8th or so.
