There was actually a business meeting held by SEGA yesterday (not much news from this it seems, except a release month for Infinite Space). Perhaps that's the event the rumor was referring to ?Dascu said:

Read it on Go Nintendo yesterday, no idea if it's true. Hope they'll finally announce Mikami's project, it was supposed to be revealed in early 2009 if I remember correctly. And the Project Ringo countdown ends tomorrow. I wonder if Ringo is in some way related to the two trademarks Sega filed, Ringwide and Ringedge.Dascu said:

Don't know the source of it though. That "tomorrow" could've been yesterday's meeting, I guess.
Edit: Ah, seems it was from Go Nintendo. Thanks for the info Wsippel.

11 march, so tomorrow. Can't wait for Valkyria Chronicles on-rails for Wii.

Yep, this is the source's quote:
In Google English:
If Ringo was to be unveiled, it should've been in Famitsu. Though hardly any game was covered except for Dark Side Chronicles and the new Gust PS3 game. So maybe it is in the issue and no one cared to show it.
But I doubt it was in the issue, and guess we'll be "treated" to another teaser on the 12th. :/
My personal hopes for the event, if they show anything at all, would be Shining Force Gear for Wii.
Edit: Problem is, it's now past Midnight on the 12th in Tokyo. Where's the news?

Well I'm personally more happy with the whole "return to roots" bit. I know tastes differ, but I really don't like what they have produced in recent years. AT was 'OK maybe sort-of' but the rest were 'blah'. I won't be excited if they announced another one of their generic RPG-ish game for PS3.Durante said:

So Atelier just announced to be announced but still not properly announced will be released in 3 months.Spiegel said:
And two more games totally-unknown-as-of-yet will be hitting in the same timeframe.
Announcements timing is just getting sick these days. Can't wait for the inevitable 'hey, we are announcing this new game today, it shipped to stores yesterday!'.

uhm....
was browsing Gust's forums in regards to Atelier Rorona and came across a user post with a peculiar end...tried looking on a few forums but can't confirm or deny this poster but...
Supposedly MegaTen is listed as a PS3 title in Dengeki as an actual title with a TBD date now? I know amazon.co.jp's had megaten listed as a ps3 title for ages but this isn't the first time in a while it's been in a publication is it?

anyone know whether this is true or not?

Even if it's true, the publication date list pages aren't really reliable. Sometimes entries just appear, stay for a long time, then disappear. The last time I looked, I think some entries won't ever come to pass.rykomatsu said:
Regardless, Atelier Rorona is the best news to me to-date within this year.
Just to add.... the 3 month thing isn't unique among the smaller Japanese studios. Less marketing costs I guess -> just concentrate on that stretch before release and maximize exposure then. Particularly in this example, it's obvious there is some collaboration with Dengeki in their marketing efforts, seeing as how Fami is left out. Like 'you help me with the exposure, I grant you exclusive coverage' kinda stuff.Kurosaki Ichigo said:

Run Luke, RUN!!!
Suppose that Gust announced Atelier many months ago. It's such a small series, most people would probably forget that a new game was coming out unless GUST put out some frequent updates (at least, thats my opinion, maybe not true.)Kurosaki Ichigo said:
By announcing it later, they make sure less people forget about it when it releases AND do less PR work. Seems like a good idea to me. Plus, people seem to be annoyed when games are announced really far ahead of release.

Well, not going long ago, Atelier Annie released yesterday was announced in September and this one at hand looks to be bigger deal.zoku88 said:
I don't like those announcements of games maybe coming in 2012 (hi Square-Enix), but you know, there has to be a point in between. I don't mean it for every title, when its about ports and such it doesn't make sense to try to build hype for +6 months. Anyway right now (for japanese developers), it seems you either have an announced project stuck for years in the making or you're hiding it until 3 months to release. Or they are just playing around not making games
At some point, everyone is going to know what to do with famitsu links. >_<
But, why does it matter that they announce it with only 3 months till release? I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like you're going to miss it.Kurosaki Ichigo said:Well, not going long ago, Atelier Annie released yesterday was announced in September and this one at hand looks to be bigger deal.

I am in the camp that no game be announced until it's 80% complete or 3 months out, whichever comes first.
It insures 2 things:
1. In game and almost final information.
2. A solid set of features and such.
For MMOGs, which are the ultimate betrayers of this particular reasoning, they get 6 months to a year because of the beta period.
Square and other companies that announce 2 years before release need to die in a goddamn car fire.

June release date for the new Atelier? Cool! Hopefully that's legit. I'll be watching J-Gaf with interest for impressions.
And seriously NOA, whats up with the lack of Layton on this side of the Pacific? The advertising campaign is working as I've had people in this week picking the game off the shelf and buying it. Now get busy on the rest!
