For those of you that don't know, I'm a pretty big fan of the JRPG franchise known as Suikoden. A couple weeks ago I went around the forums parading a signature that claimed that the next Suikoden had been officially trademarked by Konami.  Suikoden is a series that has always had one of the greatest stories in the JRPG genre, and has always had a unique cast. With over 108 characters to chose from, anyone playing the series is bound to find someone that they are fond of. Little did I know that Konami would be making an official announcement just weeks after trademarking the title.  Due Fiumi is a gaming website that has long been committed to bringing the latest and greatest knews about this lesser known franchise. With the recent announcement of the game, Due Fiumi was quick to host a number of different Japanese magazines that illustrated what this traditional DS game would be like: "First information available: - 50% complete - Characters are 3d - Backgrounds 2d - Traditional rpg it looks like - You tap the touch screen, making battles move at a fast pace - The main headline of the article is "The Chosen 108 heroes have been destroyed?!" so maybe this game will be different from other Suikoden games in that regard?" The game is going to be a throw back to all of the classic Suikoden games. So far this generation I had absolutely no plans whatsoever to buy a DS, but with the announcement of this title, it seems like my plans were dashed. Below are the scans from the japanese magazines: http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1219215547359sk4.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/1623546/Suiko.jpg I wish this would have been on the PS3 though.

DS is the leading platform this generation. No third parties question it.

The DS had a horrible first year and lack luster second year too, as far as 3rd party support goes... Thrid parties follow the money, this falls's Wii line up is 100% better then last years... and next years will be 100% better then this year...

well thats true, i remember in 05 my cousin had a ds and he told me the thing was awful. Now i have one and there are more good games on it than i know what to do with.

I am still trying to give the wii time to really pick up speed but imo, its kinda trying my patience, cause even though the third party support this year is better, nintendos first party is sooo much worse

I'm actually more surprised that there are still people holding back on purchasing a DS. Anyway, this is one more DS RPG for me to note down to play when i finish my other games. Thanks for the links.

It looks awesome man, look at the locations, it seems that they are serious about the game, however, I think it is going to be a spinoff because there is the word teikre instead of part 6.

And Im considering getting a DS, dammit Konami, just announce new suikoden for the PS3.
