This information comes from series director Akitoshi Kawazu…
“There are many fans who want a Romancing SaGa 4, so I believe that it is my duty to make it before I die.”
It’s not a matter of if anymore, but when. Let’s just hope fans won’t have to wait another twenty years to see Romancing SaGa 4. Perhaps he could give the game a shot on the 3DS…

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (1,470,000) (May. 2010)
2. Wii Party (1,220,000) (Oct. 2010)
3. Donkey Kong Country Returns (920,000) (Nov. 2010)
4. Kirby’s Epic Yarn (880,000) (Oct. 2010)
5. Red Steel 2 (850,000) (Mar. 2010)
Man, this is pretty crazy. Could you imagine if half of those Red Steel 2 downloads contributed to actual sales? Even Kirby could have sold better! Although, I must admit I’m surprised that Wii Party is very high up on the list.
Thanks to GamesHackHD & Co. for the tip!
You may remember that we posted about the first few Protocol details back in March. Sarabasa Entertainment finally shared new information in the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which you can check out below.

– Two-on-two matches locally
– Four-on-four matches online
– Class-based system in the Team Fortress tradition
– Choose from four classes
