We're already gearing up to bring you our 2009 Tokyo Game Show coverage later this month, so it's good to hear that some interesting games will be on the show floor.
I guess that we'll go and check out Sega's booth and their Yakuza 4, even though those as*holes forgot about us and haven't even started porting Yakuza 3 yet. I'm still going to check it out, and I'm still going to import it. Bastards.
Thankfully Sega has more to show off than Yakuza 4. They've put together a webpage showcasing all the games that they'll be bringing to TGS. Here's some other titles that they'll be bringing:
- Puyo Puyo 7 (NDS)
- The House of the Dead Overkill (Wii)
- Bayonetta (PS3/X360)
- Chin Sports (Wii)
- Let's Make a Pro Soccer Club! 6 Pride of J (PSP)
- Phantasy Star Portable 2 (PSP)
- End of Eternity (PS3/X360)
- Puyo Puyo 7 (Wii, PSP)
- Valkyria Chronicles 2 (PSP)
- Yakuza 4 (PS3)
Out of all the above listed, aside from Yakuza 4, I'm most looking forward to seeing End of Eternity (pictured above), the upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 role-playing game Sega has co-developed with RPG kings tri-Ace. Also, though it probably won't be playable, Valkyria Chronicles 2 for PSP is going to be shown off. Better than all of this is going to be the Japanese Bayonetta cosplayer. Expect full coverage of all of these!

But i do love hot witches and RPG's with senseless name.
Yakuza 4 will be fantastic. I know it.
SEGA! (shakes fist)
It's crazy. I even bought Mad World, Valkyrie Chronicles, AND The Conduit -- which wan't great, IMHO. It's frustrating that Sega doesn't seem interested in bringing over this specific series, when they release (arguably) niche games with many other titles.
Because I played Valkyrie Profile 1, 2 and DS, Star Ocean 1, 2 and yes 4 is actually a very fun game, and Radiata Stories and judged them to be a fantastic company.
It's good to know you are the last person anyone should talk to about RPGs.
And Infinite Undiscovery isn't even that bad of a game. It's short and very obviously unfinished (lol undiscovered) but it's still fun.
Yakuza would still sell like dirt though.
