So far I can name a few must haves:

DQ IV
FF IV remake

enlighten me, what else should be on my radar

Darunia · « **Reply #1 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:12:49 AM »

ah yes of course, how could I forget. day one purchases increased to 3

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #2 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:14:49 AM »

Totally forgot about DQIV. I'm happy I own a DS, even though I don't use it

Ninja · « **Reply #3 on:** May 19, 2008, 08:25:50 AM »

There is Guitar Hero: On Tour. The soundtrack doesn't sound too hot so far but it might be fun.

Did you rike Portrait of Ruin?

I kinda like it and hate it at the same time. I hate the fact that they changed graphics on some of the monsters like Axe Armor, Great Armor, Zombie etc. But I love the paintings gimmick. And 1 player CO-OP. It's so awesome.

Of course mastering the skills is 1000 times more time demanding than hunting for souls

I liked it, but I wouldn't rank it above any of the Sorrows or even CotM for that matter. The painting system allowed for some more creativity in levels (loved the desert level for instance) but weirdly enough there wasn't much that grabbed me like the other games did. The 2 player stuff wasn't perfect, still prefer one character tbh. I did love the dual attacks (5 Belmonts

)and some of Charlotte's spells. What I really loved was the soundtrack, so good

yum.

(IMO) I think PoR is better than Dawn of Sorrow but Dawn of Sorrow's Julius Mode >>> PoR.

Julius Mode

Best thing about Dawn

btw isn't that Soma Bringer game getting localized this year? Wasn't that supposed to be good?

It's kind of bland. Like an anime-ized Diablo knockoff with really, really sparse amounts of enemies on each field. I was really hyped for it and it left me completely cold.

$:-\$

but didn't jgaf hype this ga-

oh wait

Bangai-o spirits is amazing. It is actually so good that I will be buying the NA version on top of my import version. Also, if you don't have a PSP you can buy Space Invaders Extreme for the DS.

Vizzys · « **Reply #8 on:** May 19, 2008, 12:52:36 PM »

YEAH

plus a new metroidvania

Darunia · « **Reply #9 on:** May 19, 2008, 12:58:28 PM »

Ok, updated list

DQ IV
FF IV
CV: Order of Ecclesia
Bangai-o Spirits
Space Invaders Extreme
Guitar Hero: On Tour
Etrian Odyssey (I still have 2 dungeon crawlers in DDS2 and Nocturne I still have to play through, so I will be passing on this franchise for the time being)

demi · « **Reply #10 on:** May 19, 2008, 01:27:47 PM »

Etrian Odyssey II

more FOE-fucking-up action

I read this as "MOE-fucking-up action", I guess it would be right either way.

Anyway... for America:

FFTA2
Space Invaders Extreme
Trauma Center 2
Etrian Odyssey 2
FFIV
Disgaea
Bangai-O
Dragon Quest IV
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Soma Bringer

If Aksys doesn't fuck up the US version, Super Dodge Ball DS. Bangai-O too whenever it comes out.

Darunia - put down the SMT and hit Etrian. NOW. SMT games are sweet but Etrian Odyssey was GOTY 2007

bork · « **Reply #15 on:** May 19, 2008, 10:32:26 PM »

Bangai-O Spirits and Space Invaders are great games. Very import-friendly, too.

A new Summon Night game is coming out. Were the GBA ones any good?

The DS game plays vastly different from the GBA one - but the GBA ones werent anything to write home about either.

I had fun with them, silly animu dialogue and repetitive backtracking notwithstanding. Definitely worth the $20 and 6-8 hours I put into them. I think the DS Summon Night is more of an RTS and not so much a Tales type RPG.

You must link me where you found this.

Oh Play-Asia. Releasing Jul 17th, same day as DQV. Maybe a preorder item?

I dunno man, it seems way too old school for me. Drawing your own maps? I'm really not inclined to go through stuff like that

The Sceneman · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2008, 06:25:01 PM »

ITS SO FUCKING GOOD

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** May 20, 2008, 06:26:38 PM »

It's not that good. Stick with Digital Devil Saga.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #26 on:** May 20, 2008, 06:46:51 PM »

GOTYYYYYYYY 2007

EO2 will knock Devil May Cry off the current 2008 top spot

Darunia · « **Reply #27 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:01:14 PM »

scenester if you're so convinced of the game's quality, send me a copy and I'll play it

The Sceneman · « **Reply #28 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:32:26 PM »

I would but theres only one save slot, I dont want my game saved over

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** May 20, 2008, 07:50:43 PM »

Darunia, download NO$GBA or iDeaS and get the EO ROM
