Avalon Code looks really nice. Impressive 3D, as far as I can tell from the scan.

Edit: :eek: Haruhi Suzumiya dancing game for the Wii.

Why did they have to pick the worst game in the N1 universe?

Avalon has a pretty nice 3D engine going for it. Will wait for more information before I'm at all excited though.

I really like the graphics of that PS3 game, though I'm sure it'll be shit.

Edit: Oh, Matrix were the guys who did the FF remakes? I guess that explains why it looks nice. Hope it delivers on a decent quality traditional RPG :)

Nippon Ichi announces their 3rd DS title - The Conbini DS. Manage a convenience store, Sim City style.

Isn't that their fourth? We already knew about Jigsaw World, Rhapsody, and Disgaea DS.

That only leaves their DS action title to be revealed... wonder what it is.

Rhapsody was never announced.

Whats with Japanese developers sending their games to Ps3?

Send em to DS or Ps2 you idiots!

If your name isn't Nintendo, Square or Capcom you aren't going to make money on next-gen consoles at all!
 
X Edge sounds intriguing. I'm a fan of all those series (sans Spectral Souls, as I have never played it/them) and could be a lot of fun.

*goes to look for pics*

Do they mention what kind of info they're revealing next issue regarding MGS4?

Compile Hearts is the new Idea Factory.

After Megazone 23 and Agarest Senki, Compile Heart's games should be avoided like the plague.

PS3? or another PS2 game?
 
In the other Famitsu thread, there's mention of this game:

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsuu (Wii, Kadokawa Shoten)

What is it? And what company is that?

And what on Earth happened to LAST WEEKS'S Famitsu news? :/ I must've missed it I suppose.

It's a dancing game with Haruhi and friends.

Last week there was no Famitsu news as it was Golden Week.

1) Looks like some kind of dancing game. It reminds me a bit of that Cheerleader Wii game.
2) There was no Famitsu last week.


Edit: Scheisse.

Edit 2:
What do you mean by Golden Week?
It's a crazy Japanese ritual where they hunt for Golden Ostriches.

It's a week in Japan where everyone takes a break. Publications don't get released that week, including weekly manga and game magazines. That and they hunt for golden ostriches.

Holy shit, a dancing game for Haruhi on the Wii?!!

Its going to sell millions!!!

Are you serious? Why do people always overrate the sales of anime based games? I'd be surprised if it got to 100k.

But this isn't based on any old anime, it's based on the one and only dancing animu!
