I was just talking about Suikoden on last night's RetroforceGo!, so it comes as a pleasant surprise to hear this shred of possibility floating about in the series of tubes that is the internet. It seems Konami has trademarked the name "Suikoden Tierkreis" in North America, specifically for use with video game software.
Although it may not be actually used or could be canceled, it definitely points in a positive direction for fans of the series waiting for a new entry. I know it's probably too much to ask, but seeing Suikoden make the jump to next-gen consoles would be positively thrilling to this fan. On the other hand, it seems like all my favorite games come out on the PS2, so I'd be just as happy to play a new installment there.

If they keep that up, I could be game for another Suikoden
Will they stay PS2 and miss the money boat? Go Wii and actually give serious gamers a reason to buy the console? Go PS3 and get bought by 15% of the people who want it. Go 360 and not sell in America? Go PSP and lose to an MMO?
Or go DS, and sell millions.
I was impressed with how they really picked up the series with Suikoden 5, and it's disappointing to see that this may just be a glint in Konami's eye.
Hoping for the best though.
Personally I think the battle system in Suikoden III is superior than the rest. The buddy system was creative and made assembling your party a fun and creative exercise. And I always prefer battle systems that use positioning because I think it's lame for you and enemies to be on separate sides of the screen.
I've loved every single Suikoden game. I even loved Suikoden 4, sailing and all. And all I can say is that this had better come out. Suikoden is part of the reason I keep playing games.
Wasn't there a rumor going around in an old JUMP magazine or something that said that the Suikoden series developer wanted to make a Suikoden for the Wii? This might be it. Plz let this be it.
DS or PSP versions would be cool.
If anyone didn't like 4, I suggest you try 5, it was awesome.
