Uh, well, I wasn't even considering the possibility that creamsugar was trying to dupe us. In fact, I was essentially making a reference to my blunder :x .
Anyway, that I think about it, wasn't Baten Kaitos DS effectively removed a while ago from the listing never to come back again, apparently ?...

Oh, so it came back on the listing, only to disappear again recently ? Well, this is...pretty confusing.

Hmm, well--that sucks, then. ;_; Still odd that they managed to remove it so quickly after it was discovered.

Edit: Blah, the confusion is becoming difficult to follow. I suppose I'll go to sleep, go about my tomorrow, and then when I see GAF again a good 16 hours from now or so, surely things will have been set straight somehow...

Not just you, the quality is not really good enough to see a lot but from what I can see I get a PS2 vibe in terms of the gfx.

There was a thread about it, but it wasn't confirmed 100%. It looks alright.

Hmm, if this is true BKDS might still be in work, then... I suspect this "add-remove-add again-remove again" behavior from Namco...

Baten Kaitos DS (testative) was first mentioned in late 2004 and according to archive.org disappeared in December 2005. It can't have reappeared for longer than 6 months (the delay before archive.org makes historic pages browseable) and google cache (which is usually a couple days late) doesn't show the entry either. No idea what Nibelung Valesti was seeing there.

In any case considering Namco never listed Baten Kaitos 2 the newly removal of Baten Kaitos DS may be more related to Nintendo publishing it again than anything else. The game was confirmed to at least once had been in development after all.
Believe?

So, you think there is still...hope ?... Well, let us hope that your intuition turns out right, because if ever confirmed, a DS episode of Baten Kaitos would be one of the best news of the year. I want to believe :D .

Any new info on SimCity Wii? Please translate please!

I hope they include an extensive editor and implement the Simtropolis clone that majesco utilized to share user created content in Blast Works!

Oh wow, BKDS may exist?

That's nice to hear if it happens. I remember hearing about it years ago.

Also, I usually have little interest in Fire Emblem, but FEDS sounds intriguing to me.

It's called Sim City Creator, and it's a new Sim City game made just for Wii. There's Free Play mode, Mission Mode, Collection (unlocked stuff from Mission mode), Memorial Album (records from Free Play mode), and City Making Contest (based on certain themes, you create a city and submit it for ranking via Wi-Fi). It looks pretty neat, the 3D is nice, and there are disasters like giant monsters, giant robots and UFO invasions.

A few Sim City Wii tidbits, from the scans :

-Various buildings designs : Greece, Egypt, Futuristic, Crystal, Sweet (cake buildings :lol), Las Vegas, Jungle, Hindu, Mediterranean, Japanese Traditional,...etc
-Many wacky events to deal with : fire breathing dinosaurs, asteroids, people-abducting UFOs, giant mechas, etc
-Obviously uses the Wiimote functionalities (for example, you can directly trace roads with the pointer)
- a consequent number of play modes, as mentioned by duckroll
- the advisors are back...with a My Sims inspired design.
- they hope you look forward to see your city lighten up by the neons at night, or to fly around your city in an helicopter.
- Producer is Masahiro "Mitch" Ueno
- September release, for 6090 yen

First time I hear about the Wii installment, and it looks pretty damn cool !

If they can make the game's frame rate smooth with details like in that screen, SOLD!

Wario Land Wii as platformer was really unexpected. Cannot wait to see some pics. A 2.5D would be awesome.

Sim City Wii looks really good from those scans. And I mean, really good.

Also, Stormbringer needs to be punished for getting my hopes up for a Baten Kaitos DS game.

Also also, watching vids from Rhythm Tengoku GBA, it looks like WarioWare meets rhythm game? They should bring that over here. Or make an US version like Ouendan/EBA or something.

That would indeed be amazing. With the shake moniker, I could imagine something similar to Jungle Beat or Lost Winds. (Did you play Lost Winds yet? I believe you would enjoy it. Very short, but only 10€)

There are none yet, and since it's not in a magazine whatever surfaces should hopefully just get posted here.

The GBA game was very import friendly, so theres no need to pray for NoA/NoEs kindness. :I

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
Rythm Tengoku DS? I hope it's a new game, not a port.

Can't get excited about Wario... too much disappointments over the years.

Was there a Nintendo retailer meeting or something? I really don't understand announcements 2 months prior to release, but hey, at least they are interesting games, no English Training 3 and such.

A few things I'd like to note:
- They aren't putting up anything on the DQV week
- Zero isn't getting 1st party pricing but rather usual 3rd party pricing
- No hardware news on any Nintendo front?
- This one is weird, Rhythm Tengoku Gold is cheaper than the other DS games...
- Sigma Harmonics vs Inazuma Eleven

Summer is looking very crowded already, there will be many victims as usual...we seriously need some action in the charts, May is boring.

Sorry man, not the one who posted this rumour originally. I kinda sorta possibly believe it's true, though.

I have yet to play Jungle Beat (so sorry for this...), but I approve of a LostWinds reference. If this new Wario plateformer exists and uses the Wiimote as smartly as this game while playing and looking like a classic Wario game... :D .
Oh, and please don't be developed by a crappy team !

I think the first one was discounted as well.

I would attribute it to the game's visual style. It would be difficult for a newcomer to recognize it as a top shelf Nintendo game from screen shots.

Wario Land? Hopefully it's Intelligent Systems in charge.
Click to expand...

That would be a first. Intelligent Systems has never developed a Wario Land.


Int Sys has at least three teams.

2005: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
2006: Rhythm Tengoku
2007: Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Planet Puzzle League, Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero
2008: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Fire Emblem Remake, Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Click to expand...

Rhythm Tengoku and Wario Land have never been developed by Intelligent Systems.

Card Hero, Wario Ware, Dr. Mario & Puzzle League have Intelligent Systems guys helping in the development, but they are not the main developers of those games. Card Hero and Wario Ware come from Sakamoto not Intelligent Systems.

Good news: Vanillaware is working on a new DS game

Bad news: Alongside dimple, and the game looks like crap with feet and hands-less kiddy characters :/

I thought so too and double checked, the first game was also launched at 3800yen in Japan so that price point really doesn't tell us if it's a port or not. Like I said I doubt it is.

Awesome news.

I never played Rhythm Tengoku but always wanted to, finally I will be able too.
Also I'm intrigued about Wario Land Shake. A little skeptical, but intrigued.

Starfi, Fatal Frame and Fire Emblem are all cool additions too.

I don't know what Inazuma Eleven is but I assume it's a football game.

I'm happy Fire Emblem got a date. It seems like it's been forever since they announced it. I need more portable FE action.
