Unannounced titles? Time for some hype?

I will be there all three days, hopefully I can get my hands on some DBZ and Ni No Kuni

I'm guessing that they'll just get 18 out of the way since she's the last obvious pick left as far as DBFZ goes (& potentially the game's only female fighter in the base roster).

Soul Calibur, where?

The press release mentions... I think that statement is supposed to imply unannounced games, though I don't think From Software is one of them.

From has been heavily hinting a new Armored Core which would be a namco collab, so it wouldn't be surprising.

I'm still hoping that they can still surprise us, in that regard.

Videl/Saiyawoman and/or Chi-Chi if they want to stick with those who actually threw a punch in the manga. Towa or perhaps another original design Toriyama could whip up, if this game really is going to be another type of Xenoverse party that tells its own story. Launch or Arale if "joke" characters are at all a possibility.

So they're not gonna showcase Gundam Versus. I mean I know it's out in Japan (got that version) but more Western marketing and promotion would be great.

Maybe Videl or Chi-Chi, but it's far too soon for either Caulifla or Kale to be in the base roster (unless ASW knew their moves WAY in advance). But there's a very real chance that we may only have 18 on Day 1 as far as female fighters go.

That said, the Universe Survival arc is throwing potential female fighters at us left-&-right, so at least we may have some for either DLC or a sequel.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Come on, give us a new AC7 trailer, or maybe even a free demo.
