What's Deltra Quest? Never heard of it.

And I didn't realize Banpresto was doing a DS SRT. Cool, I guess.

Yakuza didn't interest me too much... so I can't get too excited by a Capcom version. :/

Shinjuku Wolf may be something to keep an eye on, but is the main character as boring and non-descript as the pictures look? It's hard to tell since the images are blurry, but it looked more like Angry Salaryman Battle than a game about yakuza.

Who at Capcom is developing this Shinjuku Wolf? Or better yet, who's writing the game scenario? I know it's just a blurry picture.. but the art and screens seem a bit generic..

Ryu ga Gotoku 2 comes out in less than a month!
:D

Typo or is this game really more than a PS3 game?
Click to expand...
Yes it's more than a PS3 game. It's also less than a different PS3 game. 7140 seems to be the max for Wii titles. There are plenty of Wii games around 4800-5800 too.

If it's not based on the Original Generation storyline, the chances of seeing this enter america are close to nil.

But still...dual screened crazy mecha animations might be interesting to see

Super Robot Taisen was announced at the beginning of the year, I believe, along with those other prolific third party Japanese games like WEDS and Shin Sangoku Musou.

Kazuma May Cry?

Interesting stuff. I`m not sure I like the character design nearly as much as I do Kiriyu Kazuma`s, though. Interesting that it`s cel shaded, though.

The lead char seems to be called Eiji Mikami. Is this supposed to be a joke?

ethelred - still don't know about Deltra Quest, sorry.

Like Dynasty Warrior and FF:CC, this game has been mentioned since around the DS launch. New info probably means this game won't be vaporware. Not that I care for this series any more.

Deltra Quest is a licensed game based on an anime.

Which is in turn based on some popular Australian kid's books.

Given that the setup is the most generic fantasy adventure ever, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't an RPG of some kind.

It seems someone called Shinji Kazuma is directing Shinjuku Wolf (assuming I have the reading of that kanji right). He was involved with Finder Love (PSP) and Full House Kiss 2. Ummm...

Maybe this is what ex-Clover guys meant when they said "You might love what Capcom is doing now, but would you feel the same in a few years time?" :lol

Any more news on SRW DS other than just the release date?

Man.... what is taking Banpresto so long to make a SRW game on the DS? They made like, what, 5 SRW games in 4 years on the GBA?
