klonoa on the wii?

...

A company that made a smart move?!

 

[djtiesto]

7th dragon, no new footage LAWWLLLLL (except for some stills of character art)

There is an interview with Rieko Kodama, but I'm not doing any of the interview parts.

Infinite space has some footage, but its so small and shows so little it's not really worth it. Same goes for Shining Force.

Anybody mind translating the Kodama interview? I'd be interested in hearing what she has to say, her being my favorite producer/developer and all.

Demon's Souls is 3rd person, it looked a lot like "What if Oblivion was made by Japanese people who hire artists with talent."

MADWORLD: http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/21761
BAYONETTA: http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/21762

thanks a lot !!

Just an FYI.

Full price Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy and such seem to cost 5800 Yen in Japan, so I assume as Klonoa is 4800 Yen, it'll be $39.99 here being a "budget" game. Not bad at all since the game is like a ground-up remake!

 

[mollipen]

Disaster Report 3 for PSP is HOT.

Spelunker HD is LOL.

@sp0rsk:

[jibblypop]

Hooray for Klonoa!! Those are some of the best GBA/PS games!

 

[AranhaHunter]

Daemon's Soul looks nice but it's From Software....the secret game from Konami and Irem also disappoints, but there are still 8 unannounced games to look forward to to.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I just realized that Klonoa is indeed in his original outfit, but with his current character design!

A very nice blend of classic and modern designs!

I kind of like this outfit better than the current one used afterwards!

I wonder if he'll be keeping this outfit? His Namco X Capcom outfit seems to say otherwise, but who knows but Namco Bandai?

Edit: While surfing through MobyGames, I found this in the Klonoa Heroes screenshot collection, showing the logo of Klonoa Works.

It's caption says it's a company logo. So Namco really had a separate division working on the Klonoa series? Are they still around intact, or have they since been absorbed into Namco Bandai?

I never heard of the company until I saw this screenshot.

 

[grandjedi6]

:lol @ Bayonetta's walk.

Its like they modeled it after a person walking down an aisle in a modeling event/beauty pagent.

 

[rollingstart]

Bayonetta looks awesome. PN03 meets DMC.

MadWorld looks amazing. CLOVER LIVES ON :bow2

That game has awesome art direction, and the actually graphics look very nice too. Im interested in it now.

the screens of &#26407;&#26449;&#27491;&#22934;&#20992;&#20253; (Muramasa: The Demon Blade) are very nice

screens where?

thanks Jonny

 

[rollingstart]

I do hope that Klonoa lets you use the CC and doesn't force use of the Wii remote for some motion controls to be awkwardly put in.

 

[Dante]

:lol @ Bayonetta's walk animation

 

[JaMarco]

:lol @ Bayonetta's walk animation

its awesome!

And is it just me or does the Valhalla Knights Wii game look kinda good? It has online co-op and character customization. I heard the PSP games were garbage though so I wont get too exited/

 

[Durante]

Color me interested.

- As an example of game design, they pointed out that it's ridiculous that you can find treasure chests just sitting around.

OH WOW THEY NOTICED :lol
But seriously, it would be awesome for a Japanese developer to go through this list and then attempt to make an RPG without any of it.

Wow, thanks a bunch! That looks really great and it's EXACTLY what I expected it to be.

[Hero of Legend]

Muramasa?! WHERE?!?!

Oh and there's scans of Rune Factory Frontier up!

Marvelous is going all out during the past two weeks haven't they?

 

[JaMarco]

that would be nice...

 

[birdchili]

But seriously, it would be awesome for a Japanese developer to go through this list and then attempt to make an RPG without any of it.

it would *also* be awesome for someone to use this as a checklist of features to include (with gleeful self-awareness, of course).

 

[john tv]

Loads o' new SO4 info (maybe worth starting a new thread; if so, someone feel free):

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3170276

 

[Error]

the wording on this sentence is weird...

Party members can be changed in and out of battle at will, and if things are how they are in previous Star Oceans, the result's going to be alarmingly hectic.

I wonder if it's just SO trademark real-time character switching during battles, or if you can swap in/out characters that aren't participating in battles FFX-esque.

 

[Fuu]

Some hot summer action going on in Rune Factory Frontier.

 

[seaandthebells]

people are going to go insane over klonoa, aren't they?

I am going insane. Right now. Best news ever.

 

[jrricky]

HOLY SHIT at this thread with all this news. <3<3<3<3

 

[·feist·]

- Demon&#8217;s Souls (PS3)
Publisher: SCEJ
Developer: From Software
- Action RPG

That caught my interest the moment I read it and after seeing the game I'm certainly looking forward to this title.

Hopefully, we get a full blow-out of this and Ninja Blade at TGS.


Ooooo, Star Ocean 4. Thanks.

 

[John Harker]

WAIT A MINUTE A NEW KING'S FIELD (ish) TITLE?!?!?

THIS MAKES MY HEART SING SONGS OF JOY IT HASNT FELT SINCE THE ANCIENT CITY WAS CLOSED

 

[Teknoman]

Color me interested.

Lost Odyssey almost did this right? Same with Nocturne. Also those rules seem pretty closely skewed to FFVII...

 

[drakesfortune]

I hope Namco ports Klonoa over to PSN and XBLA as well.

every friggin time a potential good game gets announced for wii ...pathetic :lol

 

[drakesfortune]

every friggin time a potential good game gets announced for wii ...pathetic :lol

Uhh...actually no. Outside of Nintendo published titles, this is the first time I really want a game that's only available on Wii.

 

[Akai]

~ A new FFCC, playable both on Wii and DS
~ Valhalla Knights (Go Marvelous!)
~ KLONOA
~ Demon's Souls (Yes, gimme more ARPGs!)
~ Star Ocean 4 goodies
~ Another interesting ARPG for DS (Destiny Links)
~ Expanded events in Rune Factory Frontier

This is one of the best weeks ever for news in a long time!

 

[FnordChan]

Disaster Report 3 [PSP]
Managing stress is important in the game in order to keep your life bar up.

Awesome. Now I totally want to go re-play Bureaucracy.

Heads up!

http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915220p1.html

Apparently Valhalla Knights Wii is being made by K2, with music by Motoi fucking Sakuraba!

Wasn't K2 bought by Capcom after making those bad Tenchu games?

Uhh...actually no. Outside of Nintendo published titles, this is the first time I really want a game that's only available on Wii.

That doesn't justify shit.

Interest + 80 (so about 2 now). Though the online does also sound kind of cool... I'll download the VK2 demo tonight to try it out.

 

[chaostrophy]

i'm somewhat skeptical you can do the "new king's field" in third person... the whole isolation, danger and general loneliness of the games would be harder to capture, methinks.

 

[Kafel]

Hmmm, Undead Knights may be the game the PSP needs since its release.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Didn't like the PS2 Klonoa, but the first one is good shit.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

can anyone translate that second PSP game that is in famitsu - &#36960;&#38548;&#25436;&#26619; (PSP) any info on the developers etc?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Alright, where are these Marumasa scans? Can someone spare a TINY hint?!

Also, in the Sonic BK scan, it shows Sonic actually using his VERY (Down + A in the air) kick from Brawl! :lol

The graphics in Sonic BK look a lot better than it did in the Nintendo Power scans. Especially in the two shots of him in a battle near a mountain with lots of grass and such. Looks really nice!
