Thanks to Blade2t3 for the tip.

Original story (2/7/2008): The DS will be receiving yet more Tales treatment as detailed in a recent scan from Shonen Jump.

According to VGChartz, the game seems to be a blend of 2D characters and realistic 3D backgrounds and is thought to be in development by famed sub-developer Team Destiny.

The main character will be called Shing, whilst the heroine is Kohaku. It is thought that this, along with Chrono Trigger DS, will be part of the blow-out of four new DS RPGs that Famitsu will have coverage of next week. Not many details are available on Tales of Hearts yet, but it is known that the enemy designer is Keita Amemiya, the ship design is by Takuhito Kusanagi and the director will be Naoki Morita. A release is penned for Winter 2008 in Japan.

More Tales! w00t. I'm not instantly attracted to the art style though.

OK, so Nintendo Power's 2 games of doom have been revealed.... maybe.

The sword means Chrono Trigger(?)
The "a lot of Heart" means ^this^

Even though they said just kidding...

So they're probably just gonna confirm that Super Smash Bros Brawl is out on Wii.

Wanna give us ToI first? -_-

JoshSL 02.07.2008#4

Actually they don't wanna give us any of them. We only got ToS because Nintendo of Europe/America approached Namco at gunpoint and said "WE NEED A GOOD RPG ON GAMECUBE!! HEEEELP USSSS!!"

As you can imagine this is what people did for help before Elite Beat Agents was out. Now all you have to do is cry HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP!

Good...the PSP's been killing the DS for far too long now. These games will definitely push it up again.
