The Robot Spirits game could be interseting.

I hope it's from their full range of figures (if it is based on them), could see some cool mixing.

Tales of Xillia 2:9989

"PRAYING BLADE." That's a pretty boss-ass subtitle.

Dungeon crawler? Interest peaked.

Not bad (Famitsu) scores for ToX2, really.
 
And I didn't know how they could make a subtitle weirder sounding than Flying Fairy, but there you go! Praying Brage... What's a Brage? Or is it Breige? Blage?

Also a game with Heroman in it? Hell yes.

Well. I guess that's that. GG ToX2.
Well, Famitsu's scores don't mean much anyway, not unless you have the comments with it (but their comments don't mean much either). But as a comparison:

Xillia got 39/40
Vesperia got 35/40, same as Xillia 2
Graces f got 37/40
Graces Wii got 36/40
Rebirth got 32/40
Symphonia: 34/40
Symphonia 2: 31/40
Destiny 2: 33/40

It seems like it's been a whole generation since Artdink made real games. Is doing 2(?) licensed robot action games the ticket to them coming back and doing weird, compelling nonsense again? Or have I missed something apart from their train games?

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.

They've been making licensed robot games for years now.

Hmm.. The last couple of months there weren't any new 3DS announcements... Quite strange for the best selling console with healthy software-sales.
