Boy, something's going on here.

The past three weeks have been quieter than it was supposed to be.

A certain site posted the Game Index of each of the past three issues showing a decent number of games.

But where's the coverage?

Is 2ch deliberately holding back info? Possibly due to Famitsu having further dislike of these advance "leaks"? First it was the scans, now this?

Anyway, as I said, the site posted the Game Index for this week as well. Someone last week posted a scan of the teaser of Devil Survivor, so if that's allowed, then I'm sure posting the scan of the Game Index is... right?

Well anyway, this will be the discussion thread for this week... whenever the news actually shows up.

If posting the Game Index is allowed, I'll edit this post to include it.

I think we all deserve an explanation for the lack of coverage when there IS stuff to be covered.

Edit: Here are this week's review scores (In Japanese):

I saw that bit (the text) as well, but the site I was referring to removed it for some reason.

The lack of MH3 Tri news makes me sad

 

[-Kh-]

We just talked about Dissidia scans in the Dissidia thread, same for Devil Survivor.

Scans are out there, info is out there too, I don't think 2ch is holding on any info, more like no one is interested on making a thread about it.

Nice score for Family Ski 2, the first one received a 30/40.

 

[plank]

wow there are a lot of high review scores this time round.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Chuumon Shiyouze! Oretachi no Sekai (PSP, Global A): 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 - (31/40)

wat

Global A game 1 point away from the silver medal? Can't be.

 

[distantmantra]

SD Gundam G Generation Double Spirits (PS3/360) -- Enhanced port of G Generation Spirits on the PS2.

 

[sixteen-bit]

de Blob kicking ass.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

SD Gundam G Generation Double Spirits (PS3/360) -- Enhanced port of G Generation Spirits on the PS2.

wat

I'm not believing anything in this thread, new Goemon, a Global A game scores a 31 out of 40 in Famitsu, and now a SD Gundam G Generation PS2 game gets ported with enhancements to PS3/360?

Come on...

 

[jj984jj]

Come on guys, creamsugar removed that stuff long ago for a reason, it's fake. Just look at the index that was posted.

 

[distantmantra]

Well, this is real at least. There's some new Gundam Musou 2 information this week.

Playable Mobile Suits in Story Mode:
Gyan (Mobile Suit Gundam)
Gottrlatan (Mobile Suit Victory Gundam)
Turn X (Turn A Gundam)

Enemies (already known, but highlighted in the article):
Psycho Gundam Mk. II (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam)
Quin Mantha (Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta)
Devil Gundam (Mobile Fighter G Gundam)

 

[Fuu]

７７７７ - Enchanted Folk and the School of Wizardry (NDS)

Now that's a lucky and magical score.

SMT!

Holy fuck if yes.

 

[Apenheul]

Family Ski: World Ski & Snowboard (Wii, Bandai Namco): 9 / 9 / 8 / 8 - (34/40)

I'm glad that this got a sequel, I'm a mad skiing fan and while I thought the first game was fun for a little while the mountain was still a bit too small and I would've liked to go off-piste more often. Hopefully Family Ski: World Ski & Snowboard will not simply be the same game on another mountain with the addition of snowboards.

 

[Namomura]

Lake of news, that's all. It's always like that after TGS and other big events.

 

[EXGN]

Samurai Dou 3 (PS3, Spike): 8 / 7 / 8 / 8 - (31/40)

Bleh... thought this would be the next big PS3 game there, like Shin Sangoku Musou big. The first 2 were PS2 the Best titles. Doesn't look like it will make much of a splash anymore.

TONS of games made the PS2 The Best list, not just AAA titles.

'31','32','33' also happen to be Fami's "we actually didn't even touch the game so here's a *safe* number that we think is OK" range.

Some would argue that none of Fami's numbers have any worth, and some more experienced ones have their own system of gauging Fami numbers.

 

[sprsk]

News from this weeks famitsu should be up on 1up.com by now...
There was a 10 page feature on TGS polls.

 

[kassatsu]

Didn't see a thread for this but a beta for ADHOC Party for PSP is out on the Japanese PSN store.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Solid score for Shiren DS 2. Really hoping SEGA or somebody brings this to the states...

Is the Goemon news real or not?

 

[Askia47]

yeah for a while no one talked about anything famitsu related. they only talked about dissdia really. but the news has been pretty quiet.

 

[sprsk]

Is the Goemon news real or not?

There was no Goemon article from what I saw, which was everything.

 

[Hero of Canton]

Is Illvelo really not very good or is that score just because Famitsu doesn't like shmups?

 

[Dascu]

There was no Goemon article from what I saw, which was everything.

Thanks.

DS Nishimura Kyotaro Suspense 2 Shin Tantei Series: Kanazawa - Hakodate - Gokkan no Kyoukoku - Fukushuu no Kage (NDS, Tecmo): 8 / 7 / 7 / 7 - (29/40)

Good luck fitting that into the spine

 

[Dascu]

The scans are finally coming out. There's scans for Kizuna, Last Remnant, Way of the Samurai 3, Suikoden Tierkreis, Winds of Nostalgio, Destiny Links and Phantasy Star Zero so far.

 

[jesusraz]

Shame about there not actually being a Goemon for Wii. I was secretly hoping Good Feel had been hired to bring the series back to its classic SNES roots...

 

[ivysaur12]

Kizuna has some pretty awesome art... Geez.

 

[-Kh-]

There's a new sniper game for DS called Last Bullet, by FuRyu for Q2 2009. Tatsunoko vs Capcom too, showing Viewtiful Joe. And Tales of Hearts.




I do really hope Konami made a sequel to this game, 3D of corse, don't matter the platform, even PSP, not DS, 64-like games don't work on DS

Second best Konami game on N64, not like there were many, but still, it was so awesome, and I really liked my Goemon SSJ.

Spoiler

Konami's best 64 game was ISSS 64 (98 was better but it was just an upgraded sequel)), and best Football game ever, oh yes, ever

The world would be a better place with a new, proper Golgo13 game.

And subbed anime.

Unfortunatedly anime games rather suck, although recent DB/Z, Naruto and Bleach games say otherwise

Spoiler

there might be hope

But haven't you watch the current anime? The fansubbing has been rather slow, still on ep 15 (33 the latest one).

The group that was subbing the anime dropped it.

Oh no wonder they haven't released anything since September, I hope some speedsubbers like Aero or Chihiro pick it up.

You think we deserve an explantion of why Famitsu scans aren't being leaked before the release date? Especially when there is nothing to cover due to the post-TGS drought?
