I wonder if Shining Blade was the game rumored to be announced at TGS that used the Valkyria engine...

Hellfire. Damnit, what I wouldn't do for Shining Blade to come Stateside. :(

Or, prehaps even more so, Type-0. :( I can't believe the game has a serious chance of not coming Stateside. A FF title, never thought the day may come. Damnit.

Worst comes to worst they'd probably just update it to Vita and bring it out here. I'm not too concerned for Type-0.

I was hoping shining blade would be on ps3 and look like Valkyria 1 with gorgeous cell-shading :/. Oh well, gameplay could still be good.

Also while I'm cool with a gundam rts, how is that even going to control on psp?

Most likely we've already seen screenshots of Shining Blade. I'm assuming they'll match up with these.

This only means one thing

Bayo 2 announcement soon!

Beat me to it. :lol

I'm just in such an "any day now~" mood when it comes to that game. We all know it's coming. It's just a matter of when Sega and P* finally get around to doing so.

At this point, I've resigned to the fact that they probably didn't want to have Bayo 2 overshadow Anarchy Reigns so soon. It's pretty much the only reason I could imagine them keeping the game so close to their chests, especially in a climate where they could truly stand to capitalize on where certain other action games are leaving their fans so disgruntled.

Allegedly, this issue has an update on that new Suikoden PSP title.

So says the game's official Twitter. (Unless my translator has failed me)

Oh boy, another Hentai Shining series!

*snickers because Shining Wind had more furry-related stuff than the rest of the hentai-drawn style cast*

Dragon's Crown has ignited an Amazon War amongst Japanese devs to design the biggest, barest, badassedest battle babes!

Looks like they've already got a figurine lined up to sell too.

What's the 'Shining' series like, again?

Type of game is all over the place, it entirely depends on that specific game. For example, Shining Hearts is part standard JRPG and part baking simulator. It's basically Sega's Final Fantasy so they just use the same tropes and the like to connect them all.
