will finding the weak point result in massive damage?

alright, i'm sorry, old joke i know. anyway, source? i know you were quoting 2chan earlier, and with how much i trust them, well, i'd hate for this to show up on a bunch of naive sites as news when it turns out to be a bad hoax.

yeah, just found em. nvm. can't wait to see what else is in store this week, and if those 2chan rumors are true. i still don't trust em, but i can still hope :P

Jaleco's still in business?
I was thinking the same. They must release very few games and have very few of them sell more than 10 copies, because I only see 4 games from them that made the Japanese charts at all from PS2 on. And three of those fell off the charts before hitting 10K. Though the one from 2008 might have by the time we get this year's Top 500.
2809

Though I guess that DS game in green has found some success.

Please treat that Bio 2 as a fake rumor for now.
 
Youichi Kawaguchi is the name of the director/programmer, he's also working on Little King's Story and was a lead programmer on DQVIII.

- Director 川口洋一氏 (DQVII, Little King's Story)
Hmm. Google translates that as "Mr. Hirokazu Kawaguti", but I'm not finding a name much like that in the DQ VII credits. A Google search for 川口洋一氏 already has this thread as the #1 result, so I'm not thinking the other hits are full of hot data.

Hmm. Don't see that name, either.


Oh. He's visibly credited for Dragon Quest VIII, though, as one of two main programmers.
 
Sounds interesting, but I'm about 50/50 on ARPGs generally, but I'll keep an eye on it. Will check out the scans when I get home.

That's because he forgot an I. :P

Edit: Beaten by Aeana.
 
Looks great and sounds interesting so far. The boss fight really looks like something out of SotC. Reminds me of White Knight Story as well.
 
game looks awesome, while scans are low qualitiy, the graphics look like a mix between Rogue Galaxy and SotC, good stuff!

It seems that a new game for wii every day is announced.

hint
For Japan at least, and the release dates are all super near too. There is Yatterman Wii also for those who are interested.

Are you talking about Tatsunoko vs Cap or is this another game?

Any JP word I can google for it?

Not Tatsu Vs Cap, its just a Yatterman game from Bandai Namco. They have one for the DS too.
