Nier Gestalt: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 26, 2009 at 9:25 am
This demo threw show attendees into the fray almost immediately. There was a brief shot of a big room in a castle, a young girl lying on some sort of dais behind bars, the main character starts toward her, and strange shadow-light creatures attack.

Picture takin’ was frowned upon at most times and in most areas of the Tokyo Game Show, but Janelle did snap a few shots while she was there.

Tales of Phantasia for DoCoMo phones: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 26, 2009 at 7:25 am
Ugh. After playing the Seiken Densetsu 2 cell phone demo that executed cell phone porting so well, I had very high hopes for the Tales of Phantasia cell phone port, but my hopes were shattered very, very quickly.

Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana) for DoCoMo phones: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 26, 2009 at 7:23 am
From my fond, SNES-controllered memories of Secret of Mana, I didn’t expect to find Seiken Densetsu 2 on the list of “games you can play with one hand.” In fact, at first glance, I wouldn’t put most action RPGs on that list. But Square Enix took this classic and put it on a cell phone, and it actually works pretty well.

Ni no Kuni: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 24, 2009 at 10:51 am
Ni no Kuni has been noteworthy and famous since its announcement because it represents Studio Ghibli’s first foray into game making. Level-5 has been promoting this one extensively, and I got a chance to dig into the demo today. If the game follows the trend of the demo, it’ll be a traditional RPG with a really high-gloss veneer of fantasy and wonder.

Valkyria Chronicles 2: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 24, 2009 at 9:46 am
At the Lanseal Academy, the students nonchalantly chat after class, opening their lockers to remove grenades, rifles and rocket launchers. The image is funny, but it looks like Valkyria Chronicles 2‘s school theme shouldn’t distract from the original’s great gameplay.

Dragon Quest VI DS: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 24, 2009 at 8:52 am
The Dragon Quest VI booth had two demo files available: a demo of the prologue, and a Level 27 file with a full party. I opted for the prologue file, which began with the hero and his two friends preparing to attack a castle under the cover of darkness to defeat someone named Mudo. After a dragon-summoning sequence that made good use of the DS’s dual screens, the trio arrived at the ominously empty castle.

Lunar Harmony of Silver Star: TGS 2009 Hands-on
By Janelle | September 24, 2009 at 8:20 am
I picked up the PSP’s upcoming LUNAR remake in the middle of the first icy cave. The first thing that jumped out was obviously the graphical overhaul. The sprites have been given a nice treatment, but I was especially impressed at first by the color and smoothness of the environments.
