Making sure that you get the message -- the message being "Chocobos are really cute; buy our Chocobo games" -- Square Enix has posted trailers for its two recently revealed fall-bound Chocobo titles, Cid and Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Maze of Time DS+ and Chocobo and the Magic Storybook: The Witch and the Girl and the Five Heroes.
As you might be able to tell in the promotional clip and the game's title, Cid and Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon is an enhanced port of Chocobo's Dungeon (released in the U.S. for the Wii this week) with more focus on Final Fantasy regular Cid. Given the nature of roguelikes, this DS release doesn't look like that much of a "downgraded" experience compared to the Wii version!
The Chocobo and the Magic Storybook clip isn't nearly as epic, but if you're enough of a Chocobo fan to have read this far into the post, you'll likely want to watch it anyway. Jump past the break for more of the flightless, chubby bird.

Way to go, Square-Enix.
Just when you were about to get my money for the Wii version, you come out with this... probably just going to wait for the DS one at this rate.

I just hope Chocobo's Dungeon DS doesn't take half a year to release stateside. I picked up FFF:CD today and I'm really disappointed in the translation. I love the gameplay, but all they did was dub over the japanese (which I would have much rather had, since they force subtitles at all times) and did no work to correct Godzilla Syndrome. Mouths moves without corresponding voices and cutscenes become poorly paced because of it.
Worst case, crappy dub voices come back and we hope to get lucky and see a translation project work on the Japanese version.

Q: Did the voices even sync in the Japanese version? FFIV suffers that problem even in moonspeak.
OMIGOSH, was that a Red Mage I saw in the upper-left? SQUEE!
