Do you know if Blue Dragon Plus is in the issue? I read a rumor that there's an interview with Sakaguchi about it.

Edit: BANGAIOH IN MARCH WOOOO HOOOOO!

New game info...

DS Baccano
Adventure / Media Works / 2008/02/28
This is the 5th of Dengeki's Bunko series, but it seems to play more like an adventure than the previous titles, not that I know much about the previous games. DS is held at 90 degrees, like Hotel Dusk.

Wow Duck, your sure on a roll with the scans (teh lameness) ;p

Sooo..

Dissidia
A fucking visual overload of FF fanservice and sparkly eye-candy, sweeeeet.
And now after the surprisingly positive gameplay impressions, I can finally feel safe being hype for this title.

KH: 358/2
Actually looks decent, and seems pretty faithful to the core KH gameplay mechnaics even on the DS.

KH: BBS
Like what Crisis Core did with the origins of FF7, seems that Birth By Sleep will do the same with the beginnings of Kingdom Hearts (should be epic).
Just hopefully it won't take another 3 years to be released.

KH: Coded
Side-Scrolling Sora & Friends, seems fun. But why does it have to be on a fucking mobile-phone.

MSG: 00
Its not Seed VS, Zaft Portable, but its damn close (especially considering its on the DS).

Oh god, some stuff I noticed on the calendar for next year which I didn't know until now...

From April 1, selling second hand Famicom, Super Famicom, N64 etc. will no longer be possible in stores - according to an extension of the second hand electric products law.

And TGS 2008 runs from October 9 to 12 - a couple of weeks later than usual.

Great news on the HD install option for DMC4. This is what I expected when years ago we heard about the option for devs to install games to the HDD. It sucks that very few allow it... hopefully a trend that'll change

BD+ is not in the issue... and I doubt there is Jump out on Monday considering the date... no more Famitsu until 1/11.

Okay, thanks. Clean Away scans would be nice if you have time though.

Oh and Merry Christmas! :)

The Amano-era designs in Dissidia look pretty good. Definitely closer to the source than Setzer

I wouldn't go as far as saying that but I do love Nomura's Warrior of Light and Firion. Garland and Zidane on the other hand make me filled with hate. Emperor and Kuja in limbo. so 2/2/2

Think of them much like e-novels, where you read through them and hold the DS like a book, except there are a few interactivity points here and there such as clicking on key words to trigger an event, or mini-games at certain points throughout the novel.

Overall they're more book-style reading than normal gaming or even visual novel gaming.

Bangai-oh DS in March? Awesome.

And each update for Inazuma 11 looks even more epic than the last. I can't wait for that game. :D

That makes no sense. Can Megadrive, Saturn, PS1 still be sold? I mean why only Nintendo systems? Does Nintendo have connections with the government, because this will boost VC sales like crazy.

yeah no joke

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/25826/Japanese-government-sells-Nintendo-shares


the japan gov bought Nintendo shares to save Nintendo ( years ago when it was all about sony )

don't know why they didn't do this for Sega or 3DO ( i doubt they will save Sony if they the whole company fall )

So is it just me, or does that Gundam OO DS game look REALLY good for the DS? The gundams look pretty detailed and the draw distance looks deceptively large.

Nah, it's not just you. It DOES look pretty good.

...If it's basically as close as I'm going to get to Virtual ON/Gundam Vs. on the DS, then so be it.

It looks better than Gundam 0079 for the Wii.

Single player? Yeah it's not that close at all.

00 for DS doesn't look like it wants to be one of the FEW decent Gundam games.

No, the etc. includes Megadrive, Saturn, and similar, I guess. Just Famitsu didn't print a complete list. The law basically states electrical products over X years in age cannot be resold. I don't know how it affected amps, turntables, etc. last year as I don't have a massive interest in those markets, but it's a similar thing basically.

DMC4 PS3 supports LPCM 5.1! Xbox360 audio may cry~
Click to expand...

Don't forget that LPCM doesn't automatically mean HD audio. Every PS3 game up to this point has supported LPCM. Given Capcom's stance up to this point of the two SKUs being equal, I'd be very surprised to find out that each platform has its own audio assets.

So, there was similar legislation that was made law in 2006, but it looks like a loophole allowed business to continue as usual. Does this mean that the law has come back again?

Apparently the PSE law, the one that required all electronic devices sold at retail to be tested to certain electrical safety standards and to carry a label showing compliance, was just revised to exclude second-hand devices. A party responsible for the original legislation recently offered an apology to those second-hand shops affected by the legislation.

So what's the story with what Famitsu is saying?

Would this law only apply to systems or games as well?

I guess we'd have to jump to Ebay or Yahoo Japan Auctions to find this stuff?

Damn...

It's issue 996 actually, and here are the review scores...
Click to expand...

Are they counting it as two issues, or is the source I'd been working from just an issue number off? Either way, it should then be #997 on the 11th, #998 on the 18th, #999 on the 25th, and #1000 on the 1st, right?

Will drop pants for Sony.
Dissidia and Birth By Sleep look incredible, square knows their way around psp hardware. Dissidia alone is a FF fans wet dream, but to have the combat intense of KH on the PSP now that is why I love my psp.

Now if only Capcom can get on that DMC psp.

Sorry to tell you this, but DMC could never work on the PSP.

It's a joint issue for 1-11/1-18 so they skipped 996. The next one, out on 11 Jan, is also a joint issue 1-25/2-1 so that will probably be 998.

Is this the stupid AC anime on Poo Ray, or is this a the annual AC gaming update?

If so, I hope the online play is brought up to PS2 levels of functionality. An AC game with robust on-line play on PS3 would rock. :D
