In the grand gaming tradition of announcing announcements, two new Japanese teaser sites went up today: One at Sega's official Shining Force site, the other at From Software's Armored Core portal. Both are scheduled to go live a week from now, on April 17.
What might they be for? It's probably a safe bet that the Shining Force teaser represents a console game, as the series' last outing was Shining Force Feather on DS. The smart money is on a game called "Shining Force Gear" for Wii, the existence of which was leaked several months ago on a subcontracted artist's blog. "Gear" is allegedly due to be released in September, 2009.
Armored Core is anyone's guess: the series' last game, Armored Core For Answer, is still fairly recent. From's antiquated mech actioner has been long due for an overhaul; let's hope it's about to receive one.
