Sounds like something decent and in-house, rather than shipped off to Dimps like Tales of the Tempest was!

Let's hope so

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 clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I always have a sceptic's mind when I see Namco making a new game for a Ninty console, I mean, Nintendo practically owns a quarter(give or take a bit) of Namco, so its probably in their best interest to make games for Ninty, rather than out of a passion for the fans.

I'm not so sure if ^ that ^ is cohesive, but I get me, and that's all that counts

You serious Nintendo actually own a quater of namco shares? then why do they make a load of bollocks for Nintendo platforms and better games for Playstation brand. Do SONY own hig percentage of shares in Namco as well?

Don't know much about Inuyashi, but I heard it was overrated Smilie

Dimps? Dimps did something to Sonic Rush! Smilie

I like that game! Smilie

I must admit that from Namco I wasn't expecting a TV show tie in, I was expecting something more Namco-y Smilie

Nintendo owns a certain amount of Bandai, which will have been diluted when Namco joined with Bandai.

Dimps did indeed do Sonic Rush and worked on Tamagotchi 2. It's an out-sourcing company, just like TOSE - helping developers with the grunt coding work to cut down the risk upon release.
