I thought ASH was moved to another system? Or am I thinking of another game?

And another Mana game that won't be done right...

Woot at Infinite Undiscovery (aka Star Ocean 4 but not called SO4)!

Woot at a new Mana for DS -- PLEASE ****ING MAKE IT LIKE SD2/SD3!

Woot at ASH being reconfirmed as DS and not changing platforms as Neo cruelly taunted us.

Well are they for launch? What does the list of these game mean is it just a simple list of random Wii games?

Wait... Puyo Puyo DS? Theres been two already - Fever 1 & 2. Unless they're going to add online in this one?

But still, 3 versions of a PUZZLE game on one console is rediculous.
Click to expand...

Those were Puyo Puyo Fever games. This is apparently a 15th anniversary game. This one could be more of a throwback, hopefully with the machanics from earlier games (sun puyos from Sun, special powers by player from ~n), and hopefully the old cast prominently being featured.

These look like newly announced Wii games. I'm guessing "New RPG" may be Namco's game, but we can't be sure. And "Horse Racing Action" might be "Final Furlong".

I'm guessing "Wing Island" is Hudson's flight game.

Please find out if Heroes of Mana is another great-looking, but crappy dungeon crawler.

I dont know. It just kind of seems like SE is throwing game after game on DS while the rest of third parties are pretty evenly split between DS/PSP (with PSP often having the edge)

From Japanese developers? Only S-E, Atlus, and B-N have put a lot of ports on PSP. And B-N have also put a lot of great games on it as well.

According to the rumours started back in July, Tri-Ace had been working on Undiscovery for a year at that point, and putting a lot of effort into it, apparently.

All this and "New RPG" is the only one on the list that I care about.


On the bright side, hooray for ASH's reconfirmation on DS. I'm too cynical to dare care about another Heroes of Mana, though. :(

Wow I guess Tri-Ace has opted to not use interns and go straight for farming out to Cavia :eek:

Well they will certainly satisfy those 14 testers and 36 customers who will buy the game.

So Umbrella Chronicles will have a 3rd person perspective but will use the controller as a light gun? I'm confused.

Infinite Undiscovery is supposed to be the game that Gotanda chose to direct instead of VP2 (where he was just the R&D programmer). I expect great things from it, at least technically. :D

Reading the snippets from the Chinese mag, it actually could be a great idea.
People have said that they wanted remakes of the classic RE's using the RE4 engine. If you get to play the best parts of RE1-RE4 with RE4 style gameplay, that might turn out to be pretty special.

Looks like good stuff. I`m actually kind of glad GS4 is going to take a while to release. Gives them time to make it the best game it can possibly be.

Let`s hope for english and JP subs.

Finally, a breath of Wii info for Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles.

But it sounds like a really good Gun Survivor 2 in terms of premise (take game stages, attach shooting stuff to it).

Wow, that's a lot further than I'd expect them to be.

Tri-Ace has yet to deliver a total failure, so in them I trust. Especially if they can fully tap the 360...

Why would people care if ASH was moved to another console?

Unless they only own a DS of course.
Click to expand...


Its a Strat RPG... isnt it?

I know a couple of people who only play start rpgs on handhelds. A genre that the DS hasnt a lot of love for beyond advance war and AoE DS.

There was some rumor in Famitsu that said a game they had listed would be changing platforms or something. The collective detective work of gaf decided it was either ASH or that mystery game for DS
