Final Fantasy IV DS was just announced this morning for June 22.

[Velorath]

Final Fantasy IV DS was just announced this morning for June 22.

Odd that they'd have it release so close to FFT: A2.

[schild]

Not really. DS games are a dime a dozen for them. They just crank them out and everyone buys them. I'm definitely getting IV as it seems like something that had a little fucking effort put into it. But man, Squeenix is all about the money grab ever since FFXII/DQVIII. This Final Fantasy VII Rebirth shit has gone too far what with people only really wanting an FF7 remake.

Basically: Forget VII and remember VI, you motherfuckers.

[MrHat]

I don't see anything I want to play.


 

[Moaner]

I seem to be buying more DS games than anything else anymore.  The World Ends With You, Etrian Odyssey II, and FFIV will be mine.  Also, I'm really looking forward to Twilight of the Arnor.

[Velorath]

I don't see anything I want to play.


 

I've never bought a GTA game before, but I'm seriously thinking about picking up GTA IV just based on all the multiplayer modes.  Other likely purchases include Age of Conan (unless I get into an open beta or something before it releases, and I find out it sucks), Ninja Gaiden II, Lego Indiana Jones, and Operation Darkness.

If I had a Wii or DS, that list would probably double, since I love Mario Kart games, and I'd like to try The World Ends With You, FFT: A2, and the FF Wii Ware game.

[Riggswolfe]

I don't see anything I want to play.


 

Persona 3 FES is the only must buy on that list from my first glance. In fact, if I have to sell plasma to get it I will.

[schild]

Fes is pretty great, dude.

[stu]

  Happy Tree Friends 

[Yegolev]

River King sequel on DS makes Disturbed Yegolev angry.

[stray]

GT5 will make me happy. About friggin time.

GTA will make me happy.


Wow, umm... Myst on DS?

[Sky]

Deadliest Catch for PC is listed twice. I love that show. If it weren't for WW2, I'd be lobstering off Maine.

Anyway, Mass Effect PC, if it doesn't slip. Then Spore in September and GTA4 PC later this year. That's all that's on my radar this year.

[Yoru]

Wasn't Disgaea 3 supposed to be out Q2? Or was that Q3?

[KallDrexx]

Wow, umm... Myst on DS?

lol Myst was released on DS long ago in europe and got shit reviews.  I woudln't get your hopes up that the US version will be any different.

I love the show, not sure how a game based off of it would be though.

[Velorath]

August.

/drool

I don't think I've ever been as excited for a game as I am for Disgaea 3.

[Stormwaltz]

4/16
Okami - Wii - Have it for PS2, but it seems made for this platform.

4/23
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES - PS2
Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor - PC (download) - Though I'll actually wait until they bundle this and the last expansion together in a box.

4/30
Neverwinter Nights 2 Adventure Pack: Mysteries of Westgate - PC (download) - I'll think about it. NWN2's girthy sysreqs made it run ponderously on my machine, even when nothing in paritcular was going on. And I still haven't bought the first expansion.

5/21
Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures - PC  - Preordered.
Supreme Ruler 2020 - PC - Like the last one, I like the concept, but it will probably be too complex to actually play.


5/28
Mass Effect - PC - I get this free, so I guess it doesn't count. Sure will be nice to finally play the game I spent three years on. Assuming my machine can even run it.

Looks like this spring will be mainly MMORPGs and mods for me.

The ink isn't liquidy in the Wii version, the colors are washed out, and everyone says the controls were tacked on.

Btw, it was MADE for the PS2.

[Velorath]

The ink isn't liquidy in the Wii version, the colors are washed out, and everyone says the controls were tacked on.

The Wii version does support 480p and 16:9 widescreen though.

Not good enough. Mostly because it's one of those obvious things. As in, if it didn't support 16:9/480p on the Wii, THEN that would be a seperate thing to complain about.

Also, it's Zelda with a fox. Bored me to furry tears.

So supporting 480p and 16:9 widescreen isn't good enough, but the ink not being liquidy is something worth mentioning?

Well no, the ink not being liquidy is what doesn't make sense. The Wii could handle it and it would feel like you were painting with the wiimote. Or at least Larping a painter. And for whatever reason, it's not present. It's the lack of it that's surprising. Just like it would've been if they hadn't added 16:9 and 480p.

[Dtrain]

List seems very light on 360 content.

Time for xbox 3, amirite?

The list is pretty light on everything.  The PS3 only has two big exclusives on the list, and one of them is a $40 demo.

[Yegolev]

If I'm not using the pointer to paint in Okami, there's no point in getting the Wii version.  I don't recall if the PS2 version had prog-scan or 16:9, but many PS2 games do so I still don't see that as a big whoopdedoo for the Wii version.

These days I hold out for a good all-in-one expansion bundle. I hate that they are starting to release Gold versions (original + 1st expansion) and then release a second expansion. C'mon, guys, Gold should be original + expansions.

Hey Stormy, any w0rd on Dragon Age release dates? 

[Morfiend]

Here is mine.

[Bunk]

Ya, I'll probably pick up GTA4 but that will probably sit in plastic until the Fall :(

[Velorath]

4/30:
GTAIV PS3

So, not at all interested in the 360 exlcusive DLC then I take it?

[schild]

4/30:
GTAIV PS3

So, not at all interested in the 360 exlcusive DLC then I take it?

I won't even finish the game. It's just the first GTA I'm gonna give a good chance. Also, Dual Shock 3 :) Also, My PS3 isn't likely to die on an 80 hour game. My 360 has been relegated to arcade games. I fear it's just gonna blow up.

[Yegolev]

Chaos Wars (damn you Shadow Hearts! This game will be total shit!)

What?  Fuck.

Spectral Force 3 (damn you Atlus!)

Agreed.  I have two of the Atlus Amazon coupons and I'll be using both.

Lego Indiana Jones PS3 (hur hur hur)
Ninja Gaiden 2
Etrian Odyssey 2

Yep.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2

Nope.

[schild]

Chaos Wars is a tactics mashup title from a shitty company with shitty gameplay, but it features all of the Aruze characters.

I am so pissed.

Also, Gungrave characters.

Grrrrrr.
