Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Wii) was my favorite of Namco/Bandai’s showings. The game takes everything the first Tales of Symphonia game on the Gamecube did well, and makes it 10 times better. The battle system is still very free-form and allows for a number of new combos and strategies. The addition of a complete monster capture/training system is a welcome one. There are almost 220+ monsters that can be caught in the game and each have their own evolutions and level up as in most RPGs (very similar to Pokemon). Every monster levels up just like your characters and can be assigned strategies throughout any battle.
Another huge addition is 4-player multiplayer support. Up to 4 of your friends can join your party at any time in the game and take control of one of your party members to control themselves. I didn’t get to test this feature out, but I’m really looking forward to when the game finally releases in the States.

Ok, everyone on the Internet is buzzing with this news that NGamer has supposedly “confirmed” both Animal Crossing Wii and one other Nintendo franchise for release this year. It’s getting very close to E3 and I don’t want to spoil any surprises, so if you don’t want to read ahead to see the other 1st party game DON’T…You’ll be glad you waited.
I’m even frustrated I saw the news because I want to be surprised at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, but apparently people just want to reveal everything they can no matter what Nintendo has planned for E3. *sigh* Anyways, check out the news after the jump if you want to see it..
I don’t think this news is the ‘BIG’ news that Nintendo will announce at E3 (I think there’s something even bigger than this), but it’s still news that could take some wind out of Nintendo’s sails next Tuesday.
Milton Keynes, July 11th – 505 Games today announced a deal with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising to unleash an official new game based on the world-famous Buffy the Vampire Slayerfranchise, exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
