There any good RPGs planned for the Nintendo DS?

[Kane Knight]

Or any at all? I know there aren't many launch titles, and I've been having trouble finding info on upcoming releases.

[AareDub]

I can't think of any that I've seen off the top of my head. Actually a lot of the upcoming titles that sounded good got pushed WAAAY back until like November/December. Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Hunters, and a few others got the bump to q4 instead of being here next month. If nobody else knows anything about the RPG's I'll check it out next time I'm at work.

[Kane Knight]

It cracked me up that MPH was psuhed back. Hey, let's demo a game, then not release it for like a full year! Our sales weren't hurt enough at CHRISTMAS...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Final Fantasy 3 is planned along with a couple of Dragon Quest games and Vandal Hearts

[Kane Knight]

So, basically, rehashes?

I think the Vandal Hearts one is "all new"

[Xero]

I believe I heard of a new Final Fantasy game coming out. It may be a spin off of FF7, although i could be completely wrong. I'm pretty sure that Square Enix will be making a few new games for the DS, though.

[Kane Knight]

With my luck, it'll be "Crystal Chronicles DS"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

With my luck, it'll be "Crystal Chronicles DS"

That is also planned, yes.

I think the FF7 prequel/sequel thing is coming out on PSP

[Kane Knight]

That is also planned, yes.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Kane, I work again tomorrow. I'll print up a list of the DS' announced releases (it's a list of confirmed games within this year) and post it for you. I'll do it for the PSP as well if anyone wants it. I know in the first month of the PSP's release they've announced for about 20 - 30 games to be released.

[AareDub]

On a side note for everybody (especially you Heartbreak since you also work at a game store) if you check out the box of the Zoo Keeper game for DS you might notice the main figure quite resembles a certain german icon from the 1940's :lol: He even has the hand gesture thing going on.

*humps your leg* That'd be awesome.

I'm holding out on the PSP right now, waiting to see if they release a better battery unit, improved model, and/or better memory cards. Still, I'm sure SOMEONE wants the info.

[Xero]

I could have sworn that I read that a version was coming to the DS. I guess I'm wrong, though, since all I'm finding on Google are FF3 and Crystal Chronicles for the DS.

[Kane Knight]

Nintendo: We give you the leftovers.

They're coming out with huge memory sticks. I know there is a 1 gig one being released early. It's going to be like a $100 though. :meh: There's a software package though that's being worked on (it was released in Japan on accident; one of the many that was and wasn't supposed to be) it has word processors, spreadsheet, wireless communication, and a T.V. tuner. That's got my interest speaking.

Sony released a press release about a month ago saying that they won't be releasing any PSP's for more than the pre-orders until December. I think it's bullshit, but take it for what it's worth. It does say that you may not get one until after December if you don't pre-order. So if you're slightly interested, I think stores (E.B. Games anyway) have about 5 more days to make all their pre-orders, so you may want to go put a deposit down.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

On and I should have the list posted by tomorrow at 11pm. I have to be at work until 10, then type it so yeah, 11 should be do-able.

[AareDub]

Yea, Gamestop is already fully booked on their first shipments. If you reserve it now you'll have to wait for second shipment (although it's only going to be a day later). That one will probably fill up quick as well, so defitely go reserve one if you're interested.

I think I'll chance it. I don't have the money to lay down right now on Sony's promises. All I can think of is the HDD...

[Gouda]

By FF3 do they mean FF3 or FF6? Cause on SNES in America FF3 was FF6... so they might be doing that again.

I hate to sound like a total geek, but I'm glad Pokemon Emerald is coming out on GBA and not DS. :$
