Famitsu has confirmed today that a new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers trailer is on the way. The video will be included in the Wii version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It is unclear how long the “special trailer” will be, but the video should show at least a few seconds of new footage. A few weeks ago, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers was assumed to be dead before an official statement was released by Square Enix, confirming its existence.

“There has been a 100 per cent increase in patients complaining of Wii-itis. I’ve seen many patients aged between eight and 13 — and I’ve seen adults. It’s possible that Wii-itus may lead to rheumatism and arthritis in later life. Patients often have inflammation of the shoulder or wrist. People who are double-jointed are most likely to suffer from Wii-knee — and in extreme cases the knee cap can be dislocated or can even pop out.” – Dr Dev Mukerjee, of Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex

Wow…I don’t know if this is really true or not, but somehow I really have a difficult time believing this! We’ve all heard of Wiiitis before, but have things really the situation really deteriorated to this extent? Or do people not know when they should stop playing Wii Sports/Wii Fit?

“One thing we’d like to do is – if this game is well received – think about releasing Klonoa 2 [on Wii] followed up by a sequel after that so that players could see the entire series. We feel very proud of Klonoa. We feel that the gameplay is both unique and solid. And we’d like as many players to experience that as possible. We think it’s got a unique story and we hope that a new generation of players will play through to the end and enjoy it just as much as the fans did 10 years ago.” – Hideo Yoshizawa, Klonoa director

I actually never played the first Klonoa game, but I’m heavily interested in playing it on Wii. I’d be especially happy to see more Klonoa games on Wii, but as Mr. Yoshizawa mentions, the first game needs to be well received. Make sure you guys buy the game when it releases!

Capcom’s Kenji Inafune recently discussed titles developed by Clover Studios. Though Clover no longer exists, Capcom would still be able to create more titles for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand. Inafune, however, has expressed zero interest in creating any new games for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand, stating that “it’s not very likely or appealing.”

“At this time, we have no plans of making sequels to any of those properties. I can’t say we won’t, for certain, but it’s not very likely or appealing. If we had no other properties to depend on for making new games, we might be desperate enough to create sequels to those titles, but that’s not the case. We have a lot of titles that we want to make and other sequels that are waiting to be made. So, there’s no interest at the moment.”

On the bright side, Inafune seems more open to creating a sequel to Mega Man 9.

“This title has been revived based on our users’ feedback. They indicated that they wanted to see it again, so if we can continue to find ways to involve users and use their feedback to evolve the game, I think we can go on to continue to make MM10, MM11, and so on. The main point is how and if we can continue to incorporate user feedback into the creation of the game.”
