The new Famitsu just came out and it has info about loads of awesome games, like a cel-shaded Wiimake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and TWO Wii online-multiplayer action RPGs. The amount of good Wii games may be on the low side right now, but, in Japan at least, a lot of cool stuff is coming out over the next year or so.
And it’s not just the Wii that’s getting the goods, this Famistu also has awesome info regarding the DS and PS3. The DS is getting another action RPG in the form of Destiny Links, and there is info and screens of two killer action games coming out on the PS3, Bayonetta and Demon’s Souls.
Not to mention an HD remake of everyone’s favorite Spelunker!
Unfortunately, not all news is good news. One of the online action RPGs announced for Wii is actually a new Wii/DS Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. It actually sounds pretty cool, and you can play online with Wii people on the DS version and vice-versa. So where’s the bad news? It probably means that Crystal Bearers for the Wii is no more.
You can find all the info about the games here, and check out the awesome scans here.











…No more Crystal Bearers..!?
But… But…

What? That’s not implied at all. If anything, they’re scrambling to build awareness of the franchise to build up to the Crystal Bearers release. Call me a hopeless optimist, but I think you’re jumping to conclusions.

Klonoa? Sweet.

Why is Crystal Bearers being possibly canceled bad news? We know absolutely nothing about that game other than a couple CGI trailers, and those are several years old. Who’s to say it would have been any good?

KLONOA FTW!

New Klonoa? Nuff said.

I liked the art style, and it felt like a mix of Crystal Chronicles and Kingdom Hearts. It looked interesting.

I am hoping the 360 winds up with Spelunker. I know it’s got a strong following in Japan (although not really elsewhere), so PS3 makes sense… but I want it too

KLONOA!
But why remake Phantomile? I think they should have done a new Wii adventure.
Well, they still got my money on this. Maybe that’s the problem…

The first Klonoa is by far the best one — the series went rapidly downhill thereafter — so maybe we’re better off this way.
