And other stuff I'm sure. Given that Star Ocean 1+2 is on PSP, I'd bet that Star Ocean 4 is PS3/360 or PS3 only...would've liked to see it on Nintendo, after how awesome the second Star Ocean game was on PS1 (and the first one on SNES), but oh well...

[EdenMaster]

Hmm...well here's what caught my eye:

Final Fantasy IV DS - DS

You may recall I already exploded at this news once already.

Soul Calibur Legends - Wii (action-adventure)

I <i>do</i> loves me some Soul Calibur. Wonder what this is all about.

Lego Star Wars - The Complete Collection (1+2) - Wii

Now here is a series I've always wanted to check out, but perhaps I'll wiat for Wii.

And...that's it. Is Brawl out yet?

[Great Rumbler]

And...that's it.

Aside from games that have already been announced.

Star Ocean 1+2 remakes collection - PSP

I'll take that, thank you.

[A Black Falcon]

There's also a rumor of the existence of something like a 'Mushroom Kingdom Hearts' floating around... I have no idea if there is any truth to the rumor, though. We'll see?

I'll take that, thank you.

Rereleases really, not remakes, but yeah, they are great games...

I do loves me some Soul Calibur. Wonder what this is all about.

No screenshots yet, just a paragraph in Famitsu and a logo, and maybe a piece of concept art... we'll see, but hopefuly it will be good. Supposedly it might follow Siegfried as the main character? I'm not sure...

Now here is a series I've always wanted to check out, but perhaps I'll wiat for Wii.

Same here, I really should get them sometime...

Aside from games that have already been announced.

Right, I wasn't trying to list everything that new information came out for that already has been announced. Just new games mostly, or substantive new info.

[Great Rumbler]

Rereleases really, not remakes, but yeah, they are great games...

SO1 is being remade.

[Weltall]

Well, if I needed a reason to own a PSP, that would be it. Star Ocean 2 is the third-best game ever made.

And perhaps I'm just out of the loop, but why is there no E3 this year?

[A Black Falcon]

You missed all that last year? Wow... it was big news for a while. Some game companies got tired of putting so much effort into the event, pretty much, I think... This year "E3" is by invitation only, several months later, and really small. Tiny little booths, not many attendees, etc... I know that E3 was supposed to be for "industry people" but a lot of other people were getting in, and it was a huge expense, but still, isn't having one big trade show a good thing? It got so much press... it sure it s a LOT less interesting without it around. Who knows, I half thought that it was killed by game companies tired of spending so much money but never being declared the winner... :) eh, could be wrong. Whatever it was, it's gone.

SO1 is being remade.

So will SO1 finally get an official English release or will this not come out here... let's hope for the former. The rom does have a translation patch, but official releases are always great to see... though I'd have rather seen it on Nintendo of course. Where I could actually buy it. :)

There's also a rumor of the existence of something like a 'Mushroom Kingdom Hearts' floating around... I have no idea if there is any truth to the rumor, though. We'll see?

That was an April Fool's joke by EGM, but it would be pretty cool.

[EdenMaster]

There's also a rumor of the existence of something like a 'Mushroom Kingdom Hearts' floating around... I have no idea if there is any truth to the rumor, though. We'll see?

Mushroom Kingdom Hearts was this years EGM April Fool. The concept is terrific but, alas, not likely.

Though Squeenix and Nintendo have collaborated before...

Nah, total bullshit. No chance.

[Dark Jaguar]

Also there's this Dragon Quest/Mario crossover game called Gibberish Street DS (the first word being in the devil tongue that is Japanese). Some sort of party game from what I can tell.

[Dark Jaguar]

Okay so Dissidia is apparently a smash brothers style fighting game with all the Final Fantasy characters for the PSP. Huh... No seriously, how many programming teams do they have there? I seriously can't keep up, they are TEARING ME APART, and that's just one company. In other words, the explosion of the gaming industry means I can't keep up with it any more.

[Dark Jaguar]

Still, the question is, when's Chrono Trigger getting ported to something? I still think PSP is the most likely option for it, to maintain those cool cut scenes anyway.

[Sacred Jellybean]

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

[Dark Jaguar]

Are you suggesting that the old man at the end of time IS the ren and stimpy old man?

[Sacred Jellybean]

...ye-...yes?

I was more suggesting that this game line-up is boring, though.

[N-Man]

Not really on topic, but I've always wondered why tf it's so hard to come up with a decent Chrono Trigger sequel. I've read parts of the Chrono Cross story and it sounds like you need a PhD to understand it. Come on...

Lucca builds a fucking starship and sets off with Chrono to discover the origin of Lavos. Laser guns, decadent galactic empires, what's so complicated about it?

[lazyfatbum]

Lucca didn't build a starship you TWIT... TWIT. The dead scientist with the Nu that plays voice recordings built it and the faggy stuck up dude attached wings cuz he's in to that.

It's complicated because there's time strings everywhere that cross over, under, in between, through important plots, etc all of which no one cares about. Just Crono, and his girlfriends and the frog and the robot killing things and Zombor, with Flea and the balloons "if you hear Leene's bells" etc, something about a rainbow shell, Speed Tabs, Black Omen, Imps god damn and huzzah, nerds release a collective orgasm.

Uppity Squeenix and their ridiculous miss use of power, I smite th... someone will smite them all!

[N-Man]

Lucca didn't build a starship you TWIT... TWIT.

I'm saying THAT SHOULD BE THE SEQUEL.

nerd yourself

[lazyfatbum]

I misunderstood.

You have owned me.

I have been owned.

Pwned, p0n'd, etc

But when I wake up...

Tomorrow...

Even everyday... every day. That might be two words.

I feel good.

Because i'm not CANADIAN.

Put that IN your MOOSE and smoke it for a fortnight, and stop pretending you're European! YOU'RE NOT. The French hate you as much as us, euro-poser.

btw Fargo sucked.

[Dark Jaguar]

Chrono Cross is awesome.

Blue Dragon, on the 360, is apparently made by Chrono Trigger's "Dream Team". In fact the team has called it a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. Personally that's another RPG I can't wait to get ahold of, along with Eternal Sonata.

[Great Rumbler]

Speaking of RPGs, the Xbox360 is also getting Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect.

[Sacred Jellybean]

More like CRAZYfatbum! Fargo was awesome.

FFIV DS interview.

"Look, we're not making a rehash! We're changing a lot of things! Really!"

... yeah... if you say so... won't make it any less of a cashin, though. :)

[Great Rumbler]

Of course it's a cash-in. Every sequel/remake/spin-off is just that. But that doesn't make the games any less fun.

I'd rather have a remake of FFVI, though.

[A Black Falcon]

At least sequels or spinoffs are actually new projects though.

[Great Rumbler]

Aside from the storyline and characters, isn't this game almost completely new?

For that matter, what about RE-Remake?

[EdenMaster]

<b>Tokita</b>
I think the ideas will make the greatest impact on those who have played Final Fantasy IV countless times.

I just might cry. How long did I scream for a simple port? I recieved it and was happy but now...now a complete and total overhaul.

My life has been given new meaning.
