I don't think you can link to site with scans, just telling ya.

And Phantasy Star Zero mini? interesting, it's a totally new game or somekind of complement for the main game?.
 
I don't understand what PS0 Mini is at all @_@

is it just like a really small budget downloadable game that you can somehow link with PS0?

o_O looks interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFTYrYblTo

survival adventure/j-fallout?

Wasn't there a demo of this on JPSN? I believe you're able to do some hilarious things in it, coming from the demo thread. You're given several options on what to do with people you meet. IE instead of helping someone from falling off a ledge, you can take their Santa hat :lol

Sounds like it's basically a $2 demo of the main game.

Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland
Release Date: 6/25
~100 items to craft
2D/3D hybrid system
3D appears to be cell shaded
Icon encounters (dunno what they're called here...you walk into monster models to initiate battles...not random encounters)

I'm still surprised by how good the 3D looks (from what little is shown). I really wasn't expecting that out of Gust.

Formerly Alaluef (not Aladuf)
My World My Way port? I fear it will look even shittier on the PSP screen, unless they touch up the graphics.

So, the same system as AI3 and Mana Khemia?

Btw, are those Rorona "scans" people are talking about more accurately referred to as "shitty photographs"? Because then I found them :lol

Wouldn't be surprised if Sony or possibly Namco lent them a hand or found an outsourced studio that works well with Gust. It looks like maybe the eternal sonata or tov engine might be used for the char models? I guess we'll get a better idea tonight (if better scans pop up) or next week...

looking forward to this title immensely.

yeah...i never played the iris series (i'm guessing AI = atelier iris?) so can't comment on that, but Mana Khemia/ToV-like. And yeah they're also the "shitty photographs" :| High rez stuff usually crops up around tuesday night/wed. morning i think (US time)

Anything else in the issue? Wii games perhaps? Like I keep saying, for a console that's the market leader, it sure is low on high profile game announcements these days. :(

It's a Japanese-centric mag, so take a look at the market leaders that matter to their readership and the coverage is appropriate. DS and PSP dominate all.

What is the reason for that the PS2 version is getting a higher review score than the Wii version?

There is bunch of new titles for the DS, but they are uninteresting titles like a cook book and sudoku game

But nothing for Wii? I did see MySims Racing in one scan, but that's it.

Have you seen the Game Index by any chance?

I just checked IGN's review, according to them the PS2 version of the game is the best version of it across all platforms. It's also a 3rd person shooter instead of a FPS like the other games. It actually looks pretty nice

DS is the market leader in Japan, followed by the PSP. There was a lot of DS and PSP announcements for the market leaders

Or did we all forget that Japan is a predominately handheld nation now regardless of how GAF tries to say NDS and PSP are not game consoles

Ah ok, i had no idea that the PS2 and the Wii version were different. Thanks for the info! :)

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.

Ok, i havnt played it myself, so i dont know :) But if the PS2 and the Wii version of James Bond: Quantum of Solace is different (where the PS2 version is a 3rd person shooter while the Wii version is a 1st person shooter), then i can see why the score is abit different between the PS2 and the Wii version of this game :)
