Ys IVr was basically cobfirmed by Falcom's president in that Gamasutra interview.
That's one, but I'm not sure if I can handle buying another console for one game, while waiting for the other good games to come.
- Bought a Wii near launch, it was rather empty to play until Super Paper Mario/Metroid Prime 3/Super Mario Galaxy made it an amazing purchase in 2007.
- Bought a PS3 as they were discontinuing the 60 GB model, so all it had for me at that time was Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Uncharted came a few months later, but it wasn't until 2008 that I felt that I got a system worth owning.
- Bought a 3DS the day after launch, with the first notable game for the system coming out almost three months later, which was a remake of an N64 game. It wasn't until Super Mario 3D Land that I felt my purchase was worth it.
How long will it take for Ys IV to come out outside of Japan? That's the thing. 3-5 games is going to be my number of games
released before I buy a system now. How likely will it be that Namco gives us the ToI remake? Their record for portable releases seems to favor ports, not remakes or totally new games. Surely there will be a Final Fantasy game for Vita at some point too, but they've been slow as shit at releasing those on PSP, and especially on HD consoles. Am I to wait 3 or so years after the system launches before such a game hits like it was with Crisis Core for PSP?
The Wii U may also be a system I may not get at launch, unless Nintendo fucking kills it with a launch lineup. If Nintendo took anything from the 3DS sinking ship, it's that hardware is moved by software.
