The Tokyo Game Show

[Kid Fenris]

Straight from gamers.com, these are the titles headed for the Tokyo Game Show next week. Many of them are unlikely to see American shores, and others are just Japanese versions of U.S. games, but there are a few interesting debuts (Suikoden IV, Gungrave O.D.) and some notable absences. It's odd for Square to eschew any appearance by Final Fantasy XII, considering that the only FF games on display will be newer versions of already released titles. Also strange is SNK's lack of Metal Slug 5 or MS Advance on their list, but those two might be out already, for all I know.

And yes, the latest Steel Battalion is in there somewhere. I can imagine Bargora booking a flight to Japan as I type this.

What's with Capcom's lineup? Do they develop any of their own games anymore or what?

Do these titles look fammiliar? I am kinda disappointed with their showing. I hope they have some surprises for us other than the list. I know, there are some great looking games, like Killer 7, but nothing here is in this list is really new.

I am really interested in seeing what Sega has... especially those unannounced titles.

Rumors of the death of Sega have, apparently, been spread in error...I can't wait to see Sonic Heroes and the new Altered Beast.
