Square And Nintendo, E3 Lineup 46
With E3 coming up on us fairly fast now, we're going to start seeing some of the larger company's expected lineups for the event. eToyChest has the titles Square/Enix will be showing off at the event. Gamastura reports on one additional title that didn't make the list; A collaboration between Square/Enix and Nintendo. From that article: "The application in question combines an email application with virtual pet-like interaction abilities, and features various Pokemon characters heavily. Although Nintendo has been relatively reticent to enter the burgeoning mobile content market, which is particularly active in Japan, it has recently started to enter the segment, with the recent licensing of ring tones and animated images for a 'Nintendo Mobile' service on Japanese cellphone providers, and now this announcement of a Square collaboration."

From what I've heard, SNES9x/ZSNES on a remotely modern machine yield a smoother running FF4 than FF4Advance.

Sony's been quiet. I imagine they're going to try to wallop Nintendo at E3 with a bunch of info. My guess is we'll hear about the price, launch date, see a few games, and Sony will unveil a new PS3 controller that innovatively senses its orientation. (or a built in Eye Toy...)

1.) After owning Dragon Quest 8 for months, I finally played the FF XII demo. Holy carp. Usually I'm not one to gawk, and I like gameplay and plot over graphics... but. Holy Carp. FF XII looks so amazing even I did a doubletake, and the battle system seems like it's an amazing combination of all the battle systems from square / squeenix games. Whatever you say about X-2, plot and vapidity aside, the battle system was good. It takes elements from that, from traditional FF (read FF3US), and from ChronoT

Also note that besides FFXI along with World of Warcraft and Runescape are the only games still without a downward trend. There numbers have only been going up since release. Not bad considering EverQuest II flopped shortly after release, D&D Online is doing the same, and most all other MMO's are going downhil

You're forgetting a small, but very well made game called EVE Online [eve-online.com]. Its numbers have been growning steadily as well.

Why??
I can explain it to you in 1 word "Japan"
About half of all Square-Soft game sales happen in Japan, why would they support a platform with new content which has no chance of being successful in Japan. The reason the XBox 360 has Final Fantasy XI is because Microsoft paid them a lot of money to port it to their system; and Square gave them an exact duplicate
