Nintendo Power Set To Reveal RPG.


Hero-of-Time

Recommended Posts

Next months cover story is an RPG so engrossing, so epic, so hush hush that we would have to erase your memories if we told you what it is. In fact maybe we already did. RPG fans get ready for the big one!

 

What could it be? My bets are Golden Sun or the Final Fantasy game that has gone AWOL.

It can't be Golden Sun as Camelot has recently said that they are too busy with current projects, although they have Nintendo's approval to make one.

 

This sentence could be a clue:

so hush hush that we would have to erase your memories if we told you what it is. In fact maybe we already did.

My guess is Kingdom Hearts: Mess of Memories.

Any idea when Baroque is out here yet? Hope it's soon after US...
That along with "Atlus publishing" makes it dificult.

 

We have no date, or plans so far for a Baroque PAL, it'll come eventually though... I hope. But no less than 6 months afterwards (with luck) I'm afraid.

 

EDIT1: Anyone thought about the Skies of Arcadia rumor that's been making the rounds lately, yet? that, or perhaps Matsumo RPG is finally making a appearance... I dunno.

 

Hope it's for the Wii and it surfaces soon.

 

EDIT2: Oh, just remembered about the Suikoden VI rumors on the Wii, but I wouldn't think of those as a "major breakthrough" for us. (I'd think this title was the case if, this promise was done by ONM-UK who always overhype stuf, though)

Golden Sun 3 is in developement and will be annouced soon. I can't say what platform though, I'm guessing the Wii though what with the whole Camelot RPG thing.

 

Might not be that but it definitely makes sense. Don't think Nintendo have any other RPG's in developement ready for annoucement, and can't see someone like Square-Enix letting Nintendo power annouce their new RPG.

What do these rumours entail? Just the usual whisperings about it being in development and that or has anything new been making the rounds?

It's going to be Kingdom Hearts.

 

I hope it is, cos it will shut up the rumours of a KH's game on Wii (it's been going round for AGES!).

 

That would be very unlikely for these reasons;

 

1. It would be very odd to reveal a high profile sequel for a Japanese series like Kingdom Hearts in an American videogames magazine. Normally Kingdom Hearts games are revealed in Famitsu and then fully at TGS (2003; KH2/CoM, 2006; Final Mix 2, 2007; PSP/DS/Mobile Phone spin-offs).

 

2. I believe you're implying Kingdom Hearts 3 being revealed, if not then ignore this point. Anyway, only Nomura and the Kingdom Hearts team handle the 'real' Kingdom Hearts games (KH1/2) and since they're busy working away at Final Fantasy Versus XIII I think Kingdom Hearts 3 is a long way off from release.

 

Although, A compilation of the first two could be revealed for the Wii, something not too high profile but still good enough for Nintendo owners who have never experienced the series to get excited about.

 

Personally though I think since Nintendo Power has got this exclusive then either the developer of this RPG is an American third party making it only for Wii or it is something in-house from Nintendo but they're aiming the game at an American audience instead of a Japanese one.

 

Another possible outcome is that this is could be a very big game, so big that it will be revealed before Nintendo Power publishes its exclusive although the magazine may have some exclusive information and an interview with the developer to act as an incentive to buyers who will already know about the game at the time.

 

I'm looking in to this way too much but I love to speculate. :heh:
