    With the new format E3 due to start in just a couple of days, various developers are coming out of the wings to reveal their official line-ups for the show. This time it is the turn of Square Enix, unveiling a wealth of Nintendo games. Check out the Nintendo offerings below:

    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (NDS, RPG, 6th November, 2007)
    DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker is the latest installment in the venerable RPG franchise, developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS and arriving in North America on November 6, 2007. Scout, train and synthesize a colorful array of over 200 classic DRAGON QUEST monsters as you compete in the Monster Scout Challenge. Already achieving sales of more than 1 million units in Japan, DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker is a breakout title that combines the depth of a classic DRAGON QUEST RPG with the addictiveness of a monster-catching adventure.


    Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii, "Virtual Experience" RPG, TBA)
    Developed from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii and its motion-sensing technology, DRAGON QUEST SWORDS: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors is set to slice its way onto Nintendo's next-generation platform. This exclusive title utilizes the Wii's motion-sensing controls as players use the Wii Remote to slash, parry and blast their way through a land filled with trademark DRAGON QUEST foes. Developed with both longtime fans and casual players in mind, DRAGON QUEST SWORDS: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors is poised to take video gaming to an entirely new level of fun and interaction.


    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (NDS, Action-RPG, Spring 2008)
    Few titles epitomise the very essence of multiplayer camaraderie like the FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES series. Released in 2004 as an innovative title that took advantage of the Nintendo GameCube-to-Game Boy Advance connectivity, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES bred an entirely new gameplay experience that expanded the horizons of conventional RPG gaming. Primed for a release on the Nintendo DS, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Ring of Fates(TM) is poised to continue this tradition by providing fans with two distinctly unique games: a fully fleshed single-player RPG experience and an addictive multiplayer element for up to four players.


    Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (NDS, RPG, 20th November, 2007)
    Following the story of the beloved classic that captivated more than 5 million players around the world, FINAL FANTASY XII: REVENANT WINGS continues the tale that won numerous accolades from the industry's top publications. Developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS, FINAL FANTASY XII: REVENANT WINGS is an all-new experience that uses the unique features of the Nintendo DS to their fullest. Utilizing full Touch Screen functionality, FINAL FANTASY XII: REVENANT WINGS allows players to control massive armies, unleash special moves and activate Gambits, all with the use of the stylus. As the next installment in the IVALICE ALLIANCE, the world of Ivalice comes alive through the respected musical stylings of Hitoshi Sakimoto, the guidance of Akitoshi Kawazu and the direction of Motomu Toriyama, director of FINAL FANTASY X-2 and the upcoming FINAL FANTASY XIII.


    Front Mission (NDS, Strategy RPG, 23rd October, 2007)
    Discover the origins of the FRONT MISSION series in this explosive handheld saga that was never before localized for North America. Reborn exclusively on the Nintendo DS, FRONT MISSION introduces exciting new features, such as dual screen presentation and multiplayer modes, that update the classic that gave birth to seven beloved sequels. Using Touch Screen functionality, players command a squad of customizable mechs known as wanzers and direct them through turn-based skirmishes across the battlefields of the 21st century.


    Heroes of Mana (NDS, Strategy RPG, 14th August, 2007)
    Developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS, HEROES of MANA breathes new life into the WORLD of MANA by taking it into an entirely new dimension. For the first time in the history of the series, stylus-wielding generals must plan, plot and strategize their way to victory on the battlefield. Utilizing the Touch Screen to the fullest, players take full control of the battle as they gather resources, assemble armies and experience an all-new perspective on the ever-evolving battle for the world of MANA.

    Sadly there is a distinct lack of Itadaki Street DS and It's a Wonderful World on DS or even Final Fantasy IV's DS remake, as well as no mention of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers or Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon for Wii. However, no doubt various games will be shown behind closed doors.

    No Crystal Chronicles on Wii? Oh well, who knows, we'll probably see info on it. Aswell as FFIV hopefully too. & maybe even a 3D FFV remake.

    I hope it comes out sometimes around Crystal Chronicles for Wii. I think these are good news, as I am finally turned and think SE's RPGs on DS are worthwhile. But I still want them to make more RPGs on Wii.
    Please, SE?
    Pretty please with sugar on top?
    I find your lack of faith disturbing!

    SE make me sick.

    Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the cliché. They were the statement and the definition."
