I really didn't know Namco was developing all these games for the Gamecube.

yeah namco is busy with the gc i would say- and i love it
i cant wait for these games to launch- especially their rpgs

Many of those games look pretty good. Thanks for the link.

Konga though...

From all those games, I'm getting Tales of Symphonia, I-Ninja, Soul Caliber II, Pac-Man, Baten Kaitos(if it comes). I need more impressions from Star Fox.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #4 on:** August 25, 2003, 07:48:52 AM »

Replace Pac Man with Star Fox, and that's my list of games I will be getting from Namco.

Aretak · « **Reply #5 on:** August 25, 2003, 09:08:51 AM »

Hard to believe anyone is looking forward to I-Ninja. Saw some screenshots a while back and it looked laughable to be honest...

Definetly looking forward to StarFox 2, Tales Of Symphonia and Soul Calibur II though.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #6 on:** August 25, 2003, 09:13:37 AM »

I-Ninja looks freaking awesome! It's not meant to be taken seriously or internally.

NintendoFanGirl · « **Reply #7 on:** August 25, 2003, 02:35:28 PM »

G4 showed Star Fox 2. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

rpglover · « **Reply #8 on:** August 25, 2003, 02:42:21 PM »

i think i-ninja is combining a lot of game genras to form its own kind of unique game with a great blend of gameplay
personally i like that in the game- it looks plenty fun and hopefully it will turn out great
but i think the rpg's from namco look the best so far- the reviews tales has gotten so far have been amazing- dengeki was quoted in saying that the game "was how an rpg should be like"- and they gave the game 38/40!!!!
and baten kaitos is being made by 2 of my favorite rpg developers- monolith soft (of xeno fame) and tri-ace
i think namco is spoiling us nintendo gamers with too many good games- i cant wait to see them all

HA! They put "Gamer's Hell" in the upper left corner of Donkey Konga.

I love Namco and apparently they love me...er...Nintendo too. I want Tales more than ANYTHING. April 1 seems SO far away. At least I'll have an entire summer to finish it. I' also getting SC2 tomorrow.

Namco and Nintendo have a special relationship, from what I have heard. One formed upon mutual respect and mutual hatred of a certain rival company.

As for I-Ninja, I think it looks great

PIAC · « **Reply #11 on:** August 25, 2003, 09:27:33 PM »

yeah! i agree with everyone that agrees that I-Ninja looks fun! it seems like its in a similar vein to Veiwtiful Joe, a game which i have been salavating over for quite a while *wipes keyboard* and still am! allthought i wont get pacman, it has no use to me, it does look quite fun, the more i hear about Donky Konga the more i want it, if its likened to a quirky yet great dreamcast game, then ill be all over it!

. Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia im pre-ordering as soon as i possibly can, and i allready have Soul Calibur 2 pre-ordered. Namco have Cube love

and it suits me just fine.

Namco is making up for shunning us in the N64 days.

Namco recently made up with Nintendo at long last after a long and bitter feud, and it seems that they are VERY good friends now. Namco is even one of the developers of the Triforce (GameCube arcade hardware).

I'm still not quite sure what to think of Star Fox 2. The E3 build didn't impress me one bit. The characters themselves looked like something out of a first generation Nintendo 64 game, and the running around levels looked shocking.

R: Evolution looks quite cool, though. A racing game with a storyline! Hurray! As for Tales, well, I made up my mind that it was going to be a must buy from the first screens I saw of it.

Oh yeah, i-Ninja looks funky!

I only wish Nintendo and Square were as close- as of yet they only have 1 Gamecube game in the works, and it's not due out here until next year.

Sirmorphix · « **Reply #15 on:** August 26, 2003, 03:36:04 PM »

Namco, bless their souls(pun not intended). Needless to say, the most important title they are releasing is Tales of Symphonia. Please, dear god please, let this game kick so much ass it hurts.

Good news, Namco is also releasing Baten Kaitos next year in the US. Its seems that several third parties contacted Namco about bringing the game to US. Seeing the huge interest that BK was drawing Namco decided bring it over themselves. I'm already in debt, I guess I'll just have to add some more to the tally.

Im glad Namco is in good relations. The Fact that the GCN version of SC might be the best sellling is going to help.... When was the last time a Multi console game sold best on the Cube? A sign of better things to come i say

"Good news, Namco is also releasing Baten Kaitos next year in the US."

YES!!!- this has been my most wanted rpg ever since i saw it- i love the developers and i love the look of the game- i think i also read something about this too on cube.ign.com their latest mail bag had something like that

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2003, 02:51:21 PM »

what are you talking about infernal? What screen shots were you looking at? I thought Star Fox 2 looked pretty good graphically.

How do you know what goes on inside of Square?

I was already sure of this, since it's quite possibly the biggest thing in RPGs since Chrono Trigger, but I am just very glad to hear that it's official. The game is by far my most anticipated game.

That's good to hear, another $80(Canadian) out of my wallet. But, I doubt it'll be a huge success here or Japan.

"But, I doubt it'll be a huge success here or Japan."

i dont know about that- namco expects to ship and sell 500,000 copies of the game when released- they posted the same kind of figures with tales of symphonia- namco usually meets or beats their sale expectations so i hope the game is a hit- it should be with the developers they have for it

Bishman · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2003, 05:59:35 AM »

Why do you think Namco is supporting the GC so much?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #24 on:** August 31, 2003, 06:43:53 AM »

Because Namco and Ninty are friends. Namco is my friend too. ^_^
