Remember that supposed WiiU jrpg that vg247 posted about?

For reference the link here.

Well.... Just got announced and it looks like a tactical rpg not jrpg.

Damn, saw the title and was hoping for a licensed video game starring The Prodigy.

Yup.

Anyways... Another game I'm not getting because I'm not buying figures for a game.

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

Off topic but what happened with that AE developer who was supposed to announce a Wii u game a Friday or two ago?

 

[Silkworm]

Er, will this game be using near field communication (would explain why it's rumored to be on the Wii U according to info in the OP) or is it just showing off nice figurines?

 

[Guymelef]

So they are going to try sell figurines for a game nobody knows for a console nobody cares?

 

[AlucardGV]

good, at least i didn't bought the wiiu for nothing.

edit: oh wait, figurines.... nevermind

 

[wrowa]

It's trying to be Skylanders for grown-ups, huh? Looks interesting, but I hope the figurine will be optional. I doubt an indie developer will be able to distribute the figurines in a way that doesn't limit the audience of the title drastically...

 

[neos]

I've been mislead by the thread title too

edit:

Breathe the pressure

Beaten like the dancefloor

 

[DJIzana]

Yeah sorry for the misleading on the thread name. I'm on my phone and on my way to work. Couldn't think of a better title at the time.

It's not your fault if the game has that name

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

Mad Men Football

........

Thank you.

 

[Visualante2]

So Hanakai studio has made what games before? And who is publishing this? A Wii U game with figurines, cards and a near field communicator looks rather ambitious for an unproven French studio.

Going to guess that this is vaporware akin to Wii's Sadness

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Featuring vodoo people

 

[DJIzana]

I was personally hoping it was an actual JRPG or actual RPG of sorts. I've never been into figurine video games either but I'm keeping an open mind.

 

[bequietdrive]

Interesting..

 

[Red Liquorice]

Disappointed, was looking forward to the 'Charly Says' level.

 

[Korigama]

Oh my god, that's the funky sh--

Damn, saw the title and was hoping for a licensed video game starring The Prodigy.

Oh...well, nevermind.

 

[Coxy]

being made by hanakai studios

Same here..

 

[Whompa]

Man that misleading title lol. Smack my bitch up OT?

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

So its Skylanders for nerds instead of children.

I've seen worse game concepts.

As I said, I wish it was an actual JRPG. I was disappointed that it wasn't in all honesty as I absolutely love the character design.... but I think I will likely agree. I've never been one for figurine stuff but if the game actually proves to be innovative and in depth then I'm willing to at least give it a look. Maybe not buy it but certainly will watch more trailers or what have you about the game.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Looks interesting so far.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Yeah this and Mad Men Football are the most disappointment inducing game titles in history, at least for GAF threads.

COME PLAY MY GAME
I'LL TEST YA

It's an omen.

I thought the same thing, now my heart is broken. Take me to hospital...

 

[gaugebozo]

You sure it's not this?

A 50-year old pretending to be a pre-teen girl simulator?

 

[bebop242]

Breathe the pressure

I'd blind buy any game with that tagline.

 

[10101]

Same.

Am disappointed.

Me too ;(

 

[AstuteClass]

I think everyone expected the same thing!

No no good for me, I don't need no bad games. Don't need no game, that's no good for me.

[Interceptor]

Some screens:

Yep, looks like a Wii U game.

 

[bistromathics]

I was hoping it was about the ISP

you called?

 

[bobbychalkers]

Looks interesting, not crazy about NFC stuff but it's been a while since my last SRPG. It would be a waste if the tag line for the OT isn't "Smack my bitch up!".

 

[Interceptor]

Some more.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm very interested in the idea but at the same time I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on figures. Hopefully they'll be smart about their pricing.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Mention of ‘industry veterans’ suggests RPG specialists Mistwalker, comprised of Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and composer Nobuo Uematsu. But they’re not based in France obviously, suggesting it could be with someone else entirely.

I'm interested if this is true. If it's not, then I'll probably pass because of the NFCs.

 

[KillerIsJed]

The Eye of Judgement 2.0

Color me unexcited.

 

[Dang0]

Not really enough to get me really excited, but I am at least curious.

Edit: From that article it looks like its not JUST the wii u. It say PC/mac/consoles, and Wii U is simply the only console mentioned.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I was interested until I saw the figures and cards. The artwork is really nice though!
