Surprise sequel announcements of E3 2010

Gaming Gauge writes: "With E3 less than a week away now hype and speculation have been running rampant with lots already revealed and much more still to come. The best parts of E3 though are the games we don’t see coming, even though we may really want them. Here’s just a few that would make E3 2010 even better than it already will be."

I think a new 4-player Kirby is likely, as it'd be a way to follow up on the success of NSMBW without milking the Mario series.

WildArmed5072d ago

Agreed.
Kirby looks plausible.

And how mean can they get by putting Chrono Trigger and Legend of Dragoon sequels (best RPGs ever!) when we know it's not going to happen :(

N4GAddict5072d ago

Come on Sony, make Legend of Dragoon 2!

Meryl5072d ago

or even just a remake for the first one in HD, it would be great:):)

kingdavid5072d ago

erm no square enix wont make a chrono sequel. They dont like to impress their consumer base anymore.

"I know! Lets make front mission evolved instead. Surely its gotta sell more???!!"

xHarvey5072d ago

I've never played Legend of Dragoon. (Is it on the PS store? If it's I'll pick it up) Everyone seems to want a sequel so it must have done something right. I'm pulling for that one because every website/forum I go to someone mentions that game.

eggbert5072d ago

I liked it as a kid, and it was a pretty damn big game. I still have the original PS1 discs, thats right discs. The game was so large they had to shovel onto FOUR CD-ROMS.

You can get the game off amazon for about $10-15, although it's probably on PSN as well.

klado5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

AS you nick goes, let me make clear this to you before hand....don't go with graphics whore-some at that game, cus your expectancy gonna rocket, game was solid and good if you love some fresh RPG, but it was even better at the time it was released, try it on psp though.

Grandia please or musashi...never could beat the last boss, expecting to.

Knightofelemia5072d ago

Good news with Legend of Dragoon 2 I hope they do it and its done by Level 5 either a prequal showing the Dragoon Wars or a true sequal would be awsome. Chrono Trigger that would be great I hope they use Yasunori Mitsuda again for the music in the sequal. What I really want to see is Square retap the Xenogears game and either finish the game or create the prequals to it specially if Xenogears is episode 5 and there is suppose to be six episodes.

jc485735072d ago

how you want level 5 to work on the next legend of dragoon. Just make sure they bring back the guy (whatever his name is) who worked on the game as the producer. what i always liked about legend of dragoon is that the game is full of potential kinda like White Knight Chronicles (well, wish they didn't downgraded the game so much).

Super Mario RPG Remake Brings Us One Step Closer To Chrono Trigger

It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.

It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.

FinalFantasyFanatic305d ago

I'm honestly happy with the Steam port of the game.

A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.

Square isn’t what it used to be.

CrimsonWing69424d ago

It’s true.

Squaresoft used to be like the equivalent of Naughty Dog back in the day. When you heard Squaresoft was making a game you knew it’d be a banger.

god I miss those days.

porkChop424d ago

Yeah they used to be the best in the industry. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the worst decision they ever made. While they had previously talked about merging with Enix, that film flopping so hard left them with no other option.

CrimsonWing69423d ago

@porkChop

My understanding is that merger was happening before the film and the flop of the film freaked them out because they thought Enix would call it off.

I personally wish Square Pictures was a success. I thought the Matrix shirt they did was cool and they were pushing computer animation into a more mature realm.

Unfortunately, Spirits Within noted many and wasn’t the FF movie a lot of fans wanted. I thought it was decent, but something like Advent Children should’ve been the direction they went.

Ronmaest418d ago

To me, Naughty Dog is now Naughtycucks.p after that god awful story in LoU 2.

It was people like Yasumi Matsuno that held it for me, at Squaresoft. The company thought them too radical and ran them out. And now they yearn for people like that. They’re short sighted and pathetic.

GoodGuy09424d ago

Square ruined pretty much every great old franchise they've had.

franwex423d ago

Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.

The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.

Top 20 Soundtracks From the 16-Bit Era

In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.

It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!

Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
