At the very back of the most recent issue (225), they hint towards a major story for next months issue. They said: AN EPIC UNFOLDS Next months cover story is an RPG so fantastic, so engrossing, so epic, and so hush-hush that we'd have to erase your memories if we told you what it is. In fact, maybe we already did. Role-playing fans, get ready for a big one. Has anyone here heard any news on this announcement? I'm going to throw out a wild guess and say: maybe we're going to see some real FF's on Wii. News that's this big must at least have something to do with Square-Enix. Any theories?

The already rumoured Kid Icarus and a new Golden Sun are the most likely candidates imo

Seeing as it's an announcement, I'm guessing it won't just be info on Tales of Symphonia 2 or Final Fantasy CC: Crystal Bearers, which would be nice anyway

Either way, can't wait. I'm hoping Retro are the ones working on it.

Very old, I would be very surprised if the game was third party, and especially surprised if it was an RPG geared more towards the Japanese, ala FF or Pokemon. The game is most likely by Nintendo, and with that its either new, or a series that has done much better in the west than it has in Japan, the same would go for if it does turn out to be a third party title.

By the way, is the game actually going to be properly confirmed in the next issue? And of so, whens the first day the info will be publically available?

Thanks for the good ol' "very old" slap in the face. Very nice. You see it's not just "old" to you, it's VERY old. My 3 or 4 day old issue which arrived in the mail is apparently too outdated. I'd better make sure it's for Feb 2008, not like '04 or something. I mean come on. :-p P.S.- I had to let that out. I just hate when someone starts their reply like that. Carry on.

Good for you, but this info is very old, almost three weeks old in fact. So maybe your issue is only 3 or 4 days old, but the contents inside of it has been well know for over half a month.

Mushroom Kingdom Hearts!!! lol just joke... Actually a game with all nintendo worlds acting as an RPG would make me piss myself. They did it with a fighting game and that went too well.

Have you heard of Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk? The sequel to the Cube game that is coming to Wii?

Yeah, it's one of my most anticipated games for this year

I probably didn't word it properly - what I meant was that because it's going to be announcement, it won't be releasing more info on a game thats already been revealed.

OK let's put the peices of the puzzle together, IGN says there are to major Franshise revivals for Wii. And they Also say that one of them would make peole wet there pance. Also that game wasn't loved by evryone because of the complex story and because there were too many carachters. Now it seems that its a RPG.

...So, it's seems that the game talked about IS... A New Chrono Trigger !!

I'm thinking Kid Icarus, being turned into an RPG, or Animal Crossing, I know it's not really an rpg but it could fall into that category for some.

Can always dream, it's still possible. :)

I'm forever in love with Retro because they made Metroid Prime a masterpeice series

Nintendo should let Factor5 make a Starfox game seeing as it's similar to their Rogue Quadron series, which they did well.
