[ShockingAlberto]

What did EDF 2017 get?

 

[Gospel]

I don't remember the last issue of Famitsu that delivered the goods.
It's mostly disappointment now.

 

[Jonnyram]

:lol

 

[Hero of Legend]

Prope's Ivy The Kiwi? for Wii and DS.

 

[schuelma]

I'm telling you, in a month the Wii is going to have negative games listed.

 

[duckroll]

Not much news this week it seems. Looking at the TOC, I see Majin The Fallen Realm, and there are Clash of the Titans scans too, so it looks like Scamco and Game Republic are tying to bring some good news into their terrible financials. :lol

 

[NeoGIF]

Hoping for some SSIV news.

Ooh, Majin - finally!

 

[VegaShinra]

So a lackluster issue this week?

 

[ILikeFeet]

damn no Xenoblade.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Why is there some Kingdom Hearts stuff on the cover?

 

[Nirolak]

It's preferable to post the Table of Contents when saying this, so we can actually see how many Wii games there are.

 

[B.K.]

Hoping for some SSIV news.

It's not in the index, so no news this week.

Why is there some Kingdom Hearts stuff on the cover?

The same reason Cloud was all over the cover a couple weeks ago.

 

[Augemitbutter]

interesting.

3 I think.

 

[duckroll]

Famitsu is starting the year with covers from favorite characters voted by readers. They previously had Snake from MGS as well. This week it's Sora from KH.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Prope's Ivy The Kiwi? for Wii and DS.

i think we can generally do without windows mobile ports.

 

[B.K.]

3 I think.

Four!

 

[Nirolak]

3 I think.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

Any Vanquish mentioned in it? Figured they'd at least report on the CGI/Live Action Trailer since it is MIKAMIIIIII~

 

[schuelma]

Four!

Wii is alive and well! Nevermind!

Oh I see... Thanks

OH. MY. GOD.

 

[john tv]

Surprised at the DQ6 scores, considering how much Famitsu has been covering it. Anyone recall how DQ4 and DQ5 DS scored?

 

[ULTROS!]

Any Star Ocean 4 International news?

 

[duckroll]

OH. MY. GOD.

Someone email Kotaku. :lol

 

[Toki767]

Was there no SO4 International review?

 

[distantmantra]

Was there no SO4 International review?

It's in the magazine, but I don't see a review. Famitsu typically doesn't review ports.

 

[Toki767]

Ah, I thought they reviewed the PS3 ToV port, but maybe I was imagining things.

 

[ILikeFeet]

my god. only 4 games? oh well, what does Ivy the Kiwi look like?

 

[velvet_nitemare]

With all the Wii game news this week, you'd think Famitsu would have a larger Wii section.

 

[distantmantra]

[Error]

34/40 is pretty low for a DQ. Is it just a port with enhanced visuals? what about gameplay stuff?

disappointed if nothing was improved gameplay wise, horii dropped the ball with this one.

 

[Nirolak]

It's kind of hard to write an article about a logo.

Perhaps Nintendo will be kind enough to actually detail their games eventually.

 

[Tenbatsu]

2 games for Wii next week!

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Good point.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Meh.

Four!

What's the fourth game?

Ah, I thought they reviewed the PS3 ToV port, but maybe I was imagining things.

Unless that was Famitsu PS3+PSP, they did. Got the same score as the 360 version IIRC.

Dunno why that got special treatment however.

 

[Mandoric]

In this issue: Romance Novels for Adults: Harlequin Collection, and Miyamoto's favorite arcade game. :lol

That's not the check not clearing, that's them cracking open the vault and finding a roll of pennies, an expired Wal-Mart gift card, and three dead moths.

Spoiler

Oh, and there's a DS remake of one of the River City Ransom sports spinoffs. Pity -that- franchise has been raped to death.

 

[Gospel]

Didn't know there was a DQ Monster BattleRoad 2.

Is that new?

 

[d+pad]

NEW

Hey now, *this* looks interesting!

 

[Jonnyram]

BattleRoad 2 has been going for ages.
This is a new version though, called BattleRoad 2 Legends, featuring battles with classic DQ hero characters (as opposed to just the bosses of old).

 

[SolidSnakex]

There's one new screen of TLG in the mag. It has the creature looking through a hole at what looks to be the main character.

Have you ever played that BTW? Is it any good?

 

[jj984jj]

Yet like 428 and 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors, it'll never be localized.

In general - content. MGS3 Subsistence also got reviewed, but I do not think MGS2 Substance did. If there is a substantial amount of new content, a game gets reviewed again. Otherwise it doesn't.

 

[Jonnyram]

Have you ever played that BTW? Is it any good?

I've played a few times, and got quite a few cards. I don't think it's that good to be honest. Way too random. Seriously aimed at kids. You don't see many adults playing it at all.
I'm interested in trying out the other card game actually, Lord of Vermilion, but the thing about BattleRoad is that there are machines everywhere so it's easy to play. LoV, not so many.

coolio. looks a lot like Canvas Curse. seems like with will work better on the DS though (I mean, comparing the Wii and DS versions)

 

[plank]

Ah man I don't know whats going on.... Am I high?

 

[Xelinis]

I got my hopes up way too high for new Last Story and Xenoblade info.
