just DS games and FF4A only
Mario Kart DS rejects me to scan anymore

 

[jj984jj]

YAY!!! TY neo!!!

AC:WW, FFIVA, & SD:CoM all look nice.

I dunno about Pokemon Ranger though...

 

[Kroole]

Nice work Neo!

<3 CoM (in a good way)

 

[radioheadrule83]

Proof solid that CoM has tileset and hand-drawn backgrounds. And it looks sweet.

 

[fresquito]

Mana is really hot.

Seeing this game, everything in 2D that´s been shown on the DS so far pales in comparision. Most developers should feel ashemed, Nintendo being the first.

 

[elostyle]

Those Mana screens look incredible O_O

 

[John Harker]

Man, Famitsu is REALLY pimping Mana.

Crazy stuff in every issue, heh

 

[PkunkFury]

Anyone know why the screen of SNES Secret of Mana is on one of those pages? Is that just a comparison or is it indication that SOM will be unlockable?

 

[lyre]

Old and new comparason shot from the looks of it. But I wouldn't complain if the original is an unlockable.

FFIV and Children of Mana can't come out soon enough!

It looks like the guy with the giant turban thingy on his head is the new salesman in SD:CoM. I think they're jus comparing the old one to the new one.

FFIV:
Hmm, still no sign of extra bosses from other FF games. Oh well, doesn't much matter; I'm getting it regardless of what the 50-floor bonus dungeon does or doesn't involve.
Nothing really new about the picture except that I hadn't seen the GBA face pic for Cid before, so not much to say...

Pokemon Ranger:
Looks like the capturing mechanic might be fun for this spinoff title, but I need to see more of the game... So far we've only seen pictures of catching Pokemon and standing around in the wild doing nothing.
Then again, I guess even the normal RPGs don't look like the most exciting things in the world just from still screenshots, but then turn out awesome every time. Ranger's still a must-have for me unless it ends up bombing on the scale of Dash.

Children of Mana:
Okay, every time I see this game it keeps looking better and better. Beautiful hand-drawn artwork (the backgrounds, I mean, not the character art... I don't care for that style too much), and I think by now the only thing that worries me is that it looks like there's only one character fighting at a time. Yet again, though, this is another game I'm getting no matter what unless it somehow turns out absolutely terrible.



Three must-have games... Go portable systems.

 

[..pakbeka..]

is that pokemon ranger? wasn't it supposed to be an arpg? all I see is a beyblade spin-off

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

for which game are the last screens? FFIV?

EDIT: Children of Mana looks awesome... I hope it plays god too

 

[Apenheul]

My interest in Children of Mana is doubling with every scan I see.

 

[antipode]

Wow, Children of Mana looks fantastic.

 

[krypt0nian]

The weather in AC is awesome.

 

[Lee N]

So many good upcoming games for the DS, so many good games already out. I don't know if i'm gonna laugh or cry.. my wallet is working overtime here.

I got THAS today..

Next week: Mario Kart and Kirby. And dammit, I haven't even finished Trauma: Under The Knife yet!

 

[cvxfreak]

Anyone mind translating the explanations for FFIV about Cid, Yang, Edward/Gilbert and Tellah? Maybe they're alluding to something since they don't describe Palom and Porom or FuSoYa for that matter.

 

[djtiesto]

I'm kind of interested in the purpose of those SoM comparison shots in the CoM preview... could Children of Mana really be a remake of SoM as originally thought? (I'd prefer an all new adventure in the Mana series taht single handedly atones for the sins of Legend/Sword).

 

[ziran]

thanks neo!

they look great.

 

[StephaneC]

thanks neo

only ds games this week ?

 

[littlewig]

Wow, the 2D in Secret of Mana is by far some of the best stuff I've ever seen.

 

[Soul4ger]

Wow, Children of Mana looks so good. I hope it plays well. I hope it plays well. I hope it plays well.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

Jesus Christ. After seeing those Mana scans, I really hope they release a DS v.2 with the new GBA SP/GB Micro screens, that game truly deserves something a bit more vibrant.

 

[GDGF]

Damn, Mana looks pretty hot.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Holy crap Mana looks amazing. Sex in my hands, sex in my hands.

 

[Aurora]

God damn. Seiken Densetsu and FF4 are going to be fantastic.

 

[BorkBork]

Damn you SE, why can't you just tack on an online mode for Children of Mana? I would have like no other complaints to throw at you then..

Children of Mana is made by Square-Enix?

Ishii would have to tell Next to implement it. So it's really in S-E's hands.

 

[SantaC]
