DS Fanboy's Media Summit screen round-up

The worst bit about big industry events for impatient bloggers and readers? The game assets. Oh Lordy, the assets. An absolute landslide of screens, usually scattered about across, ooh, dozens of pages. But not at DS Fanboy! Not on our watch! Because we wub you, readers, we've collected a big old stack of new screens for your viewing pleasure and placed them all after the break of just one post. This post, in fact. From the well-known to the obscure, we'd be amazed if there's not at least one game that appeals to everyone past that line of blue text. Mario & Luigi 3, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (right), Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel, Shining Force Feather, and Picross 3D is only scratching the surface, so make the jump!

wtf, has Professor Layton always had furigana?
I may actually start importing the games...

Ooh, Shining Force and Final Fantasy look pretty good. I haven't even gotten around to MMSF2, so I'll have to wait for the third one.

As an RPG fan, I can't help but get a tear in my eye at the prospect of so much awesome.

I was looking down the list, kind of underwhelmed...
Until I saw Kingdom Hearts.
Fuck everything else, Kingdom Hearts is probably going to be the only thing I purchase on the whole list.

Just so you know, on the European Nintendo site, it says that the DSi will be released in Spring 2009.

All week, I've been kinda excited about 7th Dragon, but after seeing actual screenshots...it looks like a blatant Etrian Odyssey clone. How distasteful.

Well, I liked Etrian Odyssey. So I'm good to go for more of the same.
Matt G. @ Oct 3rd 2008 10:49AM
yes, but it looks EXACTLY the same. They couldn't think to change the interface any?

Oh dear, Picross 3D looks ridiculous. I can't wait.
Kayla @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:37PM
ahh! *SHREIKS* Kingdom hearts!

Sweet, so many rpgs coming, I'm totally looking forward to playing most of these games. Also it seems that there are rpgs for a little more mature audience like VP:TAO, WON and SFF, not that I have anything against other rpgs, but It will be nice to play rpgs more serious in story and design for a change. Let's hope they'll be as awesome as they look.

I am so glad to see some high quality RPGs coming out for the DS. The FF remakes are great and all, and the EOs were fun, but I've been waiting for some good non-SRPGs and it looks like we're finally going to get some. Suikoden Tierkreis and Shining Force have me excited.
