Theatrhythm Wii U?

 

[Yoshichan]

What exactly might this be? I'm all up for Theathrythm II...

 

[GuessMyUserName]

I really really want Celes on 3DS

*edit*

A Wii U is fine too

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Think it'll be as good as DMC 2?

God I love your new tag!

 

[Drago]

Oh yes

Please be on 3DS, and please be downloadable...

Spoiler

and please release in the west

How long till FFXV becomes a iOS exclusive?

 

[Hours Left]

Please be back on the 3DS and/or the Vita.

I do.

Stop lying to yourself gaffers. Deep down, you know this is a mobile game.

Duckroll.


Ducky.


Duck.


Is it your goal to CRUSH the hopes and dreams of the fanbase? Let us dream for a while. Let us sleep in the fantasy. YOU MEANIE!

 

[Kagari]

Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

Indeed.

 

[CriterionDog]

Why shouldn't we expect it on 3DS?

 

[BooJoh]

The specific mentions of optical discs and game software lead me to believe it's either a Wii U game or possibly a Kinect/Move game... or just an OST Blu-Ray for the first game.

Personally hoping for a Wii U game.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Given the title I'm hopelessly thinking of a Game of the Year Edition of sorts with all DLC included or something like that.

I don't believe it will happen though.

 

[Esque7]

Betting it's just a re-release with the DLC/more content.

 

[Cmagus]

I wish they would do a SE game like this with music from all series they could seriously milk that with dlc forever and I'd buy.

 

[Famassu]

Sounds like a potential "Final Mix" kind of release with added songs & other improvements, don't really get a sequel vibe from the name.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Why shouldn't we expect it on 3DS?

Sales weren't hot in Japan.

Maybe would be more plausible if it was a re-release with the DLC on-cart? Minimal dev work needed for something like that.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Wonderswan here we come!

\o/

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

I expect a nominally upgraded 3DS version containing the ios content as opposed to a truly new game on either platform. Alternately, a vita version of such.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

Square Enix.

It'll be mobile.

 

[Sophia]

Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

It's like lately you've been there for every single set of Square-Enix news, no matter how remotely related. Just standing there. With a hammer. To smash our idealism to pieces. Tiny tiny pieces.

But you're sadly right, I fully expect this to be a mobile tile. ;_;

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I figured it would have sold like hot cakes in Japan.
3DS or mobile?

 

[Hours Left]

The mobile version of this sucks so much. Harder songs are nearly impossible.

 

[Famassu]

Didn't Theatrhythm sell out its initial shipments? That doesn't necessarily sound like some unprecedented BOMBAH that quarantees no additional releases in the franchise (especially if this is just a re-release with new songs, like the name would suggest). Sure, it wasn't a million seller like some mainline release, but it was developed by a small dev and obviously the budget wasn't the hugestestestestest in the world, so I'm fairly positive they were probably decently happy with the sales.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Square Enix.

The trademark mentions optical disk, it's either PS3, 360, WiiU, XBO or Ps4.

EIDT: Or any possible combination of the above of course.

 

[duckroll]

No. It's just a generic trademark covering all possible software formats.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Does that actually matter, or is that a boiler plate thing for these sorts of trademarks?

Edit: Answered above.

 

[Seda]

Curtain Call makes it sound like a sort of rerelease to me, like a GOTY version, rather than a sequel.

Probably mobile though, as we all know deep inside :/

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Hmmm, I see... :/

 

[Glass Rebel]

Pretty much. It was unplayable on my 4S and I regret buying the 5 or so songs I bought. Really hoping for another 3DS game but I'm ready to be square-enixed.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

 

[duckroll]

Actually, now that I think about it, Curtain Call is a very fitting title for Square Enix products in general.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

It could just signify their last hurrah on traditional handhelds as they go full-on mobile!

Now we just await Atlus going mobile.

Nah, a curtain call implies they did something to deserve recognition and accolades.

Its not yet one?

What if this is a new edition, with even MORE DLC?

 

[KillerTravis]

Curtain Call sounds like a free2play concept. You can play the first 5 hours for free without the curtain falling down, after that you have "call" the maintenance group and pay them extra hours to keep the curtain up while you play.

 

[Yoshichan]

There's nothing wrong if this is a mobile game.

Yeah, the mod who gave me this tag was quite creative that day

 

[Community Forum]

I'll buy a copy if they change the name to Booty Call.

 

[Reveirg]

So this weekend:

-Type-0 2 was a hoax.
-Theathrhythm trademark is real.
-Bravely Default sequel is confirmed to be in development
-FFX/X-2 HD confirmed delayed for 2014 in NA/EU

Things are heating up for TGS...

 

[Drago]

It is if it skips Android!

Which it will

 

[Sandfox]

I don't see the point of this coming to mobile given the model they used for the original.
