Microsoft Press Conf. in Japan next Week!

[AvZeroMkA157]

Realistically, we probably will hear about Magna Carta 2, Ninety-Nine Nights 2, (Mistwalker), (Atlus), Lost Planet 2, End of Eternity...

Square-Enix announcement is very likely but Final Fantasy related is actually not because Square-Enix's two main projects now should be completing Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. If there is one, I suspect that making Final Fantasy XIII available to the 360 in Japan would be most logical from Microsoft's standpoint. Of course, making Final Fantasy Versus XIII multiplatform would be a nice bonus. However, a strong consideration why the latter is irrational optimism is that most of the newer Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers confirm this game to be a PS3 exclusive worldwide.

Tales of announcement is not probable since the last one was not even a month ago, but something from Namco Bandai is not exactly out of the question.

I do not know how post Itagaki Tecmo feels about the 360. However, they had a few projects that were not canceled for the 360. It is about time we hear if they plan to continue them.

I would not count on MGS4 Substance because it seems like Kojima was angry about Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance enough to make explicit anti-Microsoft segments and advertisements in MGS4.

Maybe something from NIS or Sega, but I have some reservations.

I am somewhat doubtful about the 360 getting new IPs. There just have not been enough from Japanese developers for me to think otherwise.
