A while back, several rumors circulated around the Japanese blogosphere. Many of the things seemed credible, but others are outlandish. However, with the announcement of Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy for 3DS today, the whole batch becomes much more credible. So duckroll and I decided it might be good idea to put together a little checklist thread so we can see how these things play out in the coming weeks.

[x] 4 Warriors of Light 2, 3DS ** Renamed to Bravely Default
[x] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS
[x] Miku Hatsune (SD style), 3DS
[x] New Shining game using Valkyria systems and characters from Shining Hearts, PSP
[x] Sega has a Layton-like game but with rhythm action instead of puzzles, to be announced at TGS.
[ ] Bayonetta 2 is in development and is planned for release at the same time as a theatrical Bayonetta CG movie.
[ ] Vita launch later this year, Monster Hunter 3rd HD will be announced at TGS to be a launch title.
[x] DQ10 is being designed as an MMO-like game.

[ ] Persona 2 Eternal Punishment PSP, November 2 release.
[x] Persona 4 Vita port, 2012.

Today's Famitsu announced a new game from Sega. It's called Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy, and it's for the 3DS. It's a mix of a rhythm action game and an adventure game, and will use the gyroscope. It's coming out this Winter.

I tingle...

 

[weeaboo]

Bayonetta 2 WHAT THE FFFFFF

My name is duckroll, and I approve of this message!

 

[Truth101]

Argh, I was in the middle of making this thread. ;_;

 

[Gravijah]

Will DQX stay an "MMO-like"?

Also give me Bayonetta 2 goddamn it.

 

[Boney]

[x] Sega has a Layton-like game but with rhythm action instead of puzzles, to be announced at TGS.

?????

 

[rpmurphy]

That's some crazy stuff if true. Are the rumors coming from the same source?

 

[Ratrat]

A Bayonetta movie? ok.

 

[B.K.]

If Square Enix does make a new Four Warriors of Light, I hope they get rid of the inventory limit.

 

[Erethian]

Considering the likelihood that MH3 was money hatted by Nintendo for the Wii, I could totally see them asking Capcom to do a G version for 3DS.

Not sure what to think about the DQ10 rumour. So long as it's still turn-based.

 

[Crash Station]

MMO-like? I hope that doesn't refer to the battle system. Don't know why they would risk it again after the shit storm ARPG DQ9 caused.

4 Warriors of Light is a great game. I hope they keep the same art style.

Yeah what is this?

Edit: Too slow...

 

[SolidSnakex]

[ ] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS

So the Vita will end up with MH3rd G?

 

[Drkirby]

Well, Square Enix does run two MMOs, one of which runs on a PS2.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Have zero desire for the Bayonetta 2/Movie or the Miku project but I will check out all the rest.

 

[Seven Force]

Hoping Bayonetta 2 pans out!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

[ ] New Shining game using Valkyria systems, PSP <- this should have been a Vita title, whatever it is

 

[duckroll]

These rumors were all from the same source, and were released at the same time some time ago. They are supposed to have been leaked anonymously by an editor working at a major game magazine.

 

[Gospel]

I like the idea of DQ being turn based and having MMO-qualities. I don't like it being a full on MMO.

But we shall see.

 

[Boney]

I'm hype.. except for DQX MMO

Uhhh

 

[ShockingAlberto]

My gut feeling makes me believe these.

 

[Krev]

[ ] Vita launch later this year, Monster Hunter 3rd HD will be announced at TGS to be a launch title.
[ ] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS

It will be interesting to see if the same Monster Hunter games end up being on both platforms, or if they'll go with a seperate titles approach instead.

[ ] DQ10 is being designed as an MMO-like game.

...MMo-like, like Xenoblade? Or Monster Hunter esque? Or an actual MMO?

[ ] Bayonetta 2 is in development and is planned for release at the same time as a theatrical Bayonetta CG movie.

Woah, this party's getting crazy.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

A Bayonetta movie? ok.

Sarah Palin should pull a reverse Reagan for this.

Weird title, but I never though about using the gyroscope for rhythm games. Would love to see a new EBA using it, since I'm guessing we might not see this game in the states.

 

[Celine]

[ ] 4 Warriors of Light 2, 3DS
That would be a good thing.

[ ] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS
Smart move by Nintendo.

[ ] DQ10 is being designed as an MMO-like game.
No buy from me then ;_;

 

[Alrus]

MMO-like could be some kind of Xenoblade-like quest system and world map no? Not a full blown MMO (which would be completely stupid tbh).

Also, another Layton clone? Well this one is rhythm based so maybe it'll work, but every time a layton clone came out, it bombed really badly in Japan.

 

[FreeMufasa]

MMO like? Hope it means like FFXII.

 

[shintoki]

100 Foot Smile Boss confirmed

 

[jj984jj]

I hope DQX still has a good single-player... the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure what to expect.

 

[ezekial45]

I hope the Bayonetta rumor is true. Not only will we be getting another awesome game, but it'll also be Kamiya's first time doing a sequel to his own game.

 

[Synless]

My gut feeling makes me believe these.

Mine too. Also, when is TGS?

 

[duckroll]

The rumor about the new Shining game is actually kinda interesting, because it specifically mentioned that it will have characters from Shining Hearts. In fact, all the rumors were oddly specific in one way or another, so the fact that one of the more specific and offbeat ones have turned out to be true makes the entire thing kinda... interesting.

 

[randomkid]

Jesus there sure was an explosion of news while I was out. I can't keep up!

 

[V_Ben]

Those rumors all sound ludicrous and wonderful. Damn I love the run up to these big events.

 

[Thoraxes]

Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy
Wat.

 

[Grisby]

Bayonetta 2?

 

[Truth101]

Mine too. Also, when is TGS?

Well Nintendo is having an event on the 13th, which is where MonHun would be announced.

I think TGS is on the 15th?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

If DQX is anything like Xenoblade I might start giving a shit about the franchise

 

[Infinite Justice]

thread subscribed.

Bring on TGS!!!!

 

[Seven Force]

Come to think of it, I don't think I got around to playing 4WoL. I guess I'll look into that one of these days.

 

[udivision]

I didn't play DQ9, but I'm assuming they mean DQ10 will incoprorate some of the multiplayer functions from that. Not too crazy of an idea.

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

I'm all for a new SEGA music game. A new Bayonetta wouldn't hurt either.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy is the best title.

 

[Truth101]

If DQX is anything like Xenoblade I might start giving a shit about the franchise

Eww... Do not want Xenoblade like DQ.

 

[faridmon]

Come to think of it, I don't think I got around to playing 4WoL. I guess I'll look into that one of these days.

Yeah, me as well. I only played like 5 hours. This reminds me to get back and finish it off.

Like Xenoblade then?
