Front runners at the moment, both currently unreleased:
The Dark Spire
- Claims to be a classic old crunchy dungeon crawl, with a wireframe display mode if you want to feel REALLY old, as well as having multiple endings, an unusually wide range of skill choices, and a text-adventure-like 'narration'. The other is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (Review of Japanese version, which only came out last month) which apparently has a visual-novel style branching plot along with all the strategy RPG and devil-fusing.
Of course, neither will be out for a while, and I do get easily distracted... There's also Avalon Code
, which sounds fun, but perhaps not sufficiently special to navigate through my piles of stuff to play... I need to hear some response to the plot (and potential for romance?) and how the boy/girl choice affects things before I know whether or not I want this.
Are you looking for straight up RPGs? If you're not, here's some other ones you may be interested in:
ReplyDeleteKnights in the Nightmare (a RTS)
Steal Princess (action RPG)
Other RPGs I'm personally keeping an eye out on:
A Witch's Tale
Suikoden Tierkreis
Arc Rise Fantasia
Legend of Ys
DQ V
Some other non-RPGs I'm watching:
Muramasa The Demon Blade
Little King Story
Magician's Quest: Mysterious Time
Big Bang Mini
Retro Game Challenge (this has an RPG but it also has various other game genre's so...)
Also, Elebits: Adv. of Kai and Zero is not bad. I tried the demo out on the Nintendo Channel and I liked it. I'm currently waiting for the price to come down a bit more. =)
