"Namco love us after all.."

Breaking, from Cube-Europe:

"A while ago Namco announced that they had no plans to release either Tales fo Symphonia or Baten Kaitos in Europe. They believed that the sales that were predicted for these two titles would be worth it. In the natural way of the internet a petition was made and people signed. [I signed it too! -tphi]
However, unlike most internet petitions, it was acknowledged. Namco have announced that the highly anticipated RPGs Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos will be coming to Europe after all.
Speaking exclusively to Cube-Europe a Namco representative said:
'I am pleased to let you know that both of these titles will be released on the GameCube for Europe. However, this will not take place until the end of this year/beginning of next year due to the lengthy translation process.'"

God damn, this is great news, both of these RPGS looks suuuperb and have had great reviews. If there's one genre the Cube lacks in, it's RPGs, and here are two brilliant ones, confirmed (and exclusive I presume). Top news.

Now Nintendo have to follow suit and bring out Giftpia.. pullease..

Okay Cyclone, explain to me how Golden Eye 2 would be the kind of revolutionary title Nintendo claims to want for it's next console? There is only so much you can do with the licence isn't there?

If Nintendo really does have the kind of games it has people like Miyamato talking about in interviews, which are totally unique and revolutionary, then I'd bet they'll involve new or existing Nintendo characters.

Explain please Cyclone, or "shut the f**k" up as you so succintly put it...

Bell, shut the f**k up and read it again.

Woot, Tales will be good. Baiten Kaitos = ? but probably is good again.

It'll probably include the revolutionary Q-Claw!

*sigh*

Yeah, woohoo etc. We've got FPS games overflowing across every format known to man with little seperating them now.

From what I've read, and from what people here on this forum have been saying, the whole point of an early release for N5 is to introduce new kinds of games and ideas to videogaming. Call me cynical, but Golden Eye 2, whilst welcome, would not fill that criteria.

It just cant be negative!!!

I don't think you read correctly.

GOLDENEYE. 2.

;-)

That'd be one sucky launch title.

I mean, another FPS is hardly the kind of groudbreaking game that Nintendo keep saying they want to develop for the next generation of consoles.

Rumour:

Goldeneye 2 = N5 launch title - Will be revealed at E3.

Name's codename is Project Redhawk.

Where'd you hear this Dringo?

Rumour:

Namco to develop exclusive Beat 'em up for GCN.
