hi surfer_girl, thanks for having a so great blog.
First, i love you. Sorry, i just had to say that :)
Now I have a few questions for you:
Do you think we'll see a new RE game with classic RE gameplay for Wii? If so, when do you think it would be announced?
I read a rumour about a real Pokemon RPG for Wii, do you think this is true ?
What about the rumoured "Final fantasy killer" that Nintendo it's going to publish?
And my last question, can you tell us something about the Wii edition of Star Wars force unleashed ? Do you think it will be great or awful or just average?
Thanks once again!
You've made me a very happy man with the current news of Grasshopper's DS games being localised, as well as the possibility of Earthbound on the DS (which I'm guessing is probably either a Mother 1/2/3 from GBA, or just Mother 3, due to the fact that the GBA is no longer a viable platform...)
Anyway, I recently finished off the gorgeous Okami, only to find multiple hints/opportunistic moments for a sequel -- can this/will this/is this ever going to happen? I don't know if Platinumgames & Kamiya would be on good terms with Capcom enough to continue the Okami storyline...
Hey SG, I have a few questions
1) Any chance that other arcade systems besides NEO GEO appear on the Wii VC?
2) Is Baroque worth my money?
3) Anything new on Disaster Day of Crysis?
4) Do you think that if SSMB is a huge success (sales), there might be a chance of Konami bringing a low-res MGS4 for the Wii?
5) Is Castlevania Wii on the works?
Thanks ^^
do you know when super street fighter ii turbo hd remix is due to hit psn/xboxlive?
What are the chances of the GTA games being HD remixes rather than PS1 or equally retro versions?
Intriguing, I'm glad Suda's studio is still being taken seriously- I'll be there day one for those titles unless they are like 3/10s.
Sims kart racing? Hmm, interesting use of the license. Not that true to it though.
Microsoft has left Sony in the dust on downloadable content. I expect Sony to announce at least all first party titles downloadable on PS3 for $10-15 in the new year.
Eidos has me interested, but it's hardly a great foundation for a narrative as Hollywood will tell you.
Can you tell us something more about Factor 5 game? Is it download only game like Warhawk? Is it bigger or smaller project? Anything that you can share with us would be appreciated.
Thanks.
My Sims racer? I don't think Nintendo needs to worry TOO much :P
It's nice to see Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon Orta on downloadable form. Hope they keep that up and also bring Oddworld Stranger..
Having said, will that game ever be backward compatible? If I can at least download it, I'd be content.
soriku: No. No. No. Awful to average.
anonymous one: A sequel looks doubtful unless the sales of the Wii version are spectacular.
anonymous two: Possible, don't know, no, no, yes (probably nothing to get excited about though). Capcom is looking to do an epic re-invention of their classic IPs (Castlevania, Mega Man, Bionic Commando, Street Fighter, others) with next-gen versions, whatever they are doing on Wii would not be remotely associated to this.
anonymous three: Next year.
ligurmatic: Likely.
globox: "It's drastically different from Lair."
macaronni: One can only hope Oddworld Stranger gets added to the service. If Munch's Odyssey gets added, Stranger is fairly likely.
Hey SG,Do you know when SC:conviction is coming out?
Is Namco making any more Tales games for the DS?
Is Factor 5 still partnered with Sony or might their downloadable title see XBLA/Wii Ware release too?
Hello Surfer girl,
A few blog posts ago you mentioned in the comments section that there would be a new Twisted Metal game in 2009. Do you have any details about it?
Thanks
Oddworld Stranger is one of the pinnacles of Xbox1 in terms of pushing the hardware to its limits; there might be technical problems with emulating it, which MS might decide are not worth the hassle.
Hey surfer girl, Does Camelot Software Planning have and plans to continue the Golden Sun series?
Hi Surfer Girl, here another girl. What about of the new "Metal Gear" style game for Xbox 360? Is real? Are RARE behind?
I'd just like to add to your readership that the Getaway PS3 has been put on hold in favor of a first person shooter, albeit one that is really awesome because it lacks a sci-fi or fantasy theme.
hey surfergirl,
do you have any new info about the new zelda on wii?
thanks ;)
Hi SurferGirl, three questions to you:
- Dementium is coming to Europe ?
-What about a new 1080 on Wii ?
- It's probably a Bwii 3 in the future ?
Since when is Capcom working on the Castlevania franchise?
Hi surfer girl, enjoying the blog, keep it up. Just a couple of questions.
1. I know the series was never a sales hit, but any news on Monolith revisiting the NOLF franchise, or has Cate Archer been retired?
2. Any word if CD Projekt Red team is working on any new projects, especially those relating to The Witcher, and what are the chances of a North American publisher supporting them since I read that The Witcher sold over a million in Europe, but it sold poorly in the U.S.
So, basically, all the games being added to the Xbox Originals are essentially confirmed for the backwards compatibility list, am I right? So, those of us with a solid copy of GunValkyrie can finally play it on 360.
Hi SG, love the blog.
Any word on plans for the Battletech/Mechwarrior IP other than what was announced when Jordan Weisman liscensed it back from MS a few weeks ago?
im real happy to see Jet Set Radio Future listed as a Xbox Original title....however, if your lying your an assface for getting my hopes up
JSRF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, is a Shenmue III anymore likely with the XBO release of Shenmue II?
is army of 2 worth getting?
Any news on tales of vesperia yet?
blabla: Spring.
nitro: Don't know.
kato: Still Sony.
ren: No.
anonymous one: Yes.
amaia: No.
anonymous two: The successor to the Twilight Princess will be unvieled next year and will see release 2009. There will be a little thing or two before that.
sparky: Probable, unlikely, don't know.
anonymous three: They are not, good catch.
anonymous four:
1) Fox owns the rights and WB owns Monolith, so Monolith resurrecting NOLF is not happening.
2) No clue.
comradesnarky: That is the plan.
anonymous five: No.
anonymous six: Never. There is money to be made here, so they are exploiting the opportunity.
anonymous seven: Save your money for Battlefield: Bad Company instead.
santa claus: No.
Hey Surfer Girl,
I got a source that tells me Bioware will release an "Extended Version" of Mass Effect on the PS3 and PC next fall.
You have anything on that? I just want to make sure I am not the only one.
psu: PC, yes. PS3, no.
So PS3, no as in you don't know or you know for sure its not coming?
PSU: The latter.
2 things:
1. Will the new Wii Zelda feature 1:1 controls?
2. Will there be a new platforming Rayman game? Not something like Rayman Raving Rabbids, an ACTUAL platformer.
1. Will mass effect come to pc? if yes, than when or when we will hear the announce on it
2. If there anything else you can add on Wolfenstein
3. Do you know anything about Quake Arena DS?
Heard any word on what type of game Retro Studios is working on for the Wii?
Thanks for the response. One more quick question.
While popular franchises expected in 08 like GTAIV, FFXIII, MGS4, etc are getting most of the media coverage, I was wondering what under-the-radar titles coming in 08 do you think we should be paying attention to and keeping an eye on.
Basically what titles for 08 that you might have seen or even played do you think have the highest potential to be sleeper hits?
hi surfer_girl i have some questions
1)is kingdom hearts 3 confirmed to be on the wii or is it just a possibility?
2) next year will the wii have franchises like rock band or skate.
3)which other third party franchises are coming for to the wii.
4)Is there going to be a Kid Icarius for the wii or golden sun.
thax a lot
Sorry, I've one more question...
do you know of any unannounced RPG's on the DS?
Hey, It's the Golden Sun guy again.
Okay, I think I might have read your answer wrong, Surfer Girl, and if I did, I apologize. There were other Anonymous's and I guess I might have gotten confused.
So to clarify, I guess I should ask...did you answer yes or no to my question? If you answered yes...than man, do I feel like a jackass. But if you answered no, my second post still stands.
Anyway, once again though, I apologize for any inconvience.
Saludos Chica Surfer. Any chance we'll get an "expansion pack" disc for guitar hero 2&3 a la Oblivion for those of us who don't have access to broadband net?
when left 4 dead will be out?
Do you have any info on said earthquake survival game beyond there might be one? Sounds pretty interesting. Thanks.
Hi Surfer Girl,
I have a few Mega Man related questions. What can we expect from Megaman in 2008? New games? Specifics? Is Capcom considering making anymore remakes to older Mega Man games? Finally, are there any big surprises for Mega Man's 20th anniversary? Thanks alot!
Hi Surfer Girl, I had some questions:
-Will we see a Metal Gear Solid game on Wii?
-What's Square doing with FF CC Crystal Bearers?
-Will we see a Burnout on Wii?
-Do you know which are the two "Historic Franchise" for Wii which IGN announced?
-Is Devil May Cry on Wii possible?
Thank you!
Any scoop on the release date of Starcraft II?
Hi surfer girl, I had some questions for you:
-I know it's just a dream, but I'd like anyway an answer: will we see a Bioshock Wii?
-Viewtiful Joe series is dead? There are chanche fot a third (fourth) game on Wii?
-Is Rockstar interested in Wii? If yes, which are its projects?
PS=Sorry for bad english...I'm Italian
Interesting that the list of Xbox originals includes titles that aren't backwards compatible yet. Will they be BC or is MS cutting and running on that
Hi Surfer Girl!
Do you think Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn and Puzzle Quest Wii Edition will come to Europe?
If yes, when?
Is someone working on a Freeloader for the Wii?
Thank you very much!!!
The PS3 has yet to release any real JRPGs in the US. Any details as to when a good one will hit stateside? I'm mostly interested in The Last Remnant, White Knight Story, and Disgaea 3. Much appreciated.
The Ides,
Not counting Enchanted Arms? I thought Eternal Sonata was coming soon.
Problem is that the JRPG genre is kind of dominated (in terms of pure mass) by these little developers and publishers (aside from the ones developed at Namco and Square/Enix).
Those guys don't seem to have the cash to develop on PS3. Which leads to the interesting situation of many of them developing on 360...you'd expect that there has to be at least interest free loans on the table there.
Kirolos: No. Eventually.
anonymous one: Yes. No. No.
Vydas: Not a FPS.
anonymous two: Boom Blox, Mushroom Men, Hail to the Chimp, de Blob, fl0wer, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Echochrome, Patapon, Heist, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, amongst a few others. I would have said LittleBigPlanet, but Sony recently decided that the title (rightfully) deserves millions in marketing dollars.
anonymous three:
1) Disney wants it to be such.
2) Possibly, no.
3) Plenty.
4) Maybe, definitely.
anonymous four: Yes.
anonymous five: Golden Sun in continuing, do not worry.
cgsmanaction: No.
anonymous six: Within the next two or three months.
Reed: The earthquake game takes place following the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906 and if I remember correctly, the title is Downfall: San Francisco.
anonymous seven: Yes, yes, yes, yes. I heard something about an announcement of "a cinematic Mega Man title that will re-invent the character and discard everything from the past" a number of months ago, I'm doubting there is any truth to this, though.
anonymous eight: Probably never, nothing that interests me, already answered, no clue, maybe.
anonymous nine: Summer.
anonymous ten: No, pretty much, not really.
xrayzwei: They will be BC as well.
anonymous eleven: Next year. No clue.
Is Fight Night Wii still a-go?
Here's hoping that Factor 5 are working on the Turrican franchise. I loved that game on the Atari ST. Hopefully 360 XBLA is on the cards.
I have a couple of questions:
-If disney wants kh3 on wii then does that mean square-enix and disney are debating over which console to chose?
-Is it possible that kh3 is going multiplatform?
-Is their going to be a sequel to Psychonauts? If so, When?
-Do you know any PS3 exclusive titles for 2008 that have not been announced? If so, can you list them?
I haven't any question, I just wish you a happy new year. In USA it's not 2008 yet...but here in Europe it is!!
Happy New Year to Surfer Girl and to all the readers of her great site!

I just saw this article linked to on Joystiq today...
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/01/rumorang-mgs4-on-xbox-360-12-14-months-late/
Actual article described in the article:
http://xboxfamily.com/xf/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1123&Itemid=2
Basically, it's a rumor that an unnamed Konami representative said at an undisclosed distribution meeting that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to 360 12-14 months after the PS3 version comes out. What's more, they've been working on the 360 version since early 2007.
Surfer Girl, I know you've said before that if MGS4 was to come to the 360, it would come six months to a year after the PS3 version. Now the time frame given in that article is a little bit off what you said, but on to my question:
Is there any validity to that rumor, or is that Xbox Family site just looking for attention?
Hi surfer girl, I had some questions for you:
-Which are the hidden Capcom projects for Wii?
-Is some great point and click coming back on Wii?
-Is Dragon Quest 9 porting for Wii possible?
-Happy New Year!!
when is rare going to show more info on banjo 3
is rare makeing a banjo game for the ds or even the wii
when is info on the metriod pime movie going to be shown
Hi surfer girl! I've been visiting the blog for a while and you seem to be much more legit than the "Rumor Reporter." :P
Anyway, I have several questions:
1) Will we see any more HUGE updates (like characters that everyone wants, etc.) for SSBB on the Dojo site before the game's release?
2) Do you think Nintendo will eventually add ALL of the classic titles to the VC?
3) When will the next version of the DS be announced (if there is going to be another DS)?
That's all (for now)! XD
will rare ever become a third party company?
and will make banjo spin-offs for the ds and XLA
what games will be shown at E3 08
will next be the best year for nintendo?
what games will make it happen?
Rent a Hero is included on the Xbox Original list, which never actually made it to retail. Does that mean MS is giving this game another chance?
Should people be excited about Killzone 2 beyond the graphics?
What's in store for the multiplayer?
Are the following titles exclusive to PS3:
Digimon World Online?
Driver (The new one?
Final Fantasy XIII?
Final Fantasy Versus XIII?
Metal Gear Online?
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots?
L.A. Noire?
Yakuza 3?
Also, any ideas on when Eyedentify is coming out?
when is the wii getting color
anonymous one: Yes.
anonymous two: Disney dictates. It is unlikely to be exclusive to any platform. Never. Yes, no.
anonymous three: Doubtful, doubtful.
kirolos: No.
anonymous four: No. This year. No clue.
anonymous five: I've answered all but number nine previously. The answer to that is no.
anonymous six: No.
anonymous seven: Yes.
tony: Xbox Family is just looking for attention, I've never heard of the site.
anonymous eight: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
anonymous nine: In the next six months. No.
anonymous ten: Never.
bszelda:
1) Don't know.
2) All of the classic titles is a subjective statement, so no.
3) In the next eighteen months.
anonymous eleven: No, no, maybe.
anonymous twelve: Many.
anonymous thirteen: I don't know enough about Nintendo's 2009 lineup or plans to make a statement.
demonryu: MS is looking to make money.
mike: I don't know.
littlebigplanet: No clue, Driver 5 was never exclusive, probably, possibly, doubtful, extremely unlikely, definitely, possibly. Don't know.
anonymous fourteen: I don't know.
will marjors mask come to the vc
if so when
when will the next pokemon info be shown
what quarter (if you don't know, please give me a guess) of 2008 will the general media begin previewing Resistance 2?
Why do you doubt the exclusiveness of MGS4?
Just curious, that's all.
First, Happy new year.
Could you please talk about the next Mortal Kombat? When will we get more ifno, pictures, gameplay and such? Release year.
Anything new will be appreciated.
Thanks, Red.
Hello Surfergirl,
first of all nice blog, come here quite often. I was wondering; I heard about a 'major' announcement that MS should have planned at the CES. Do you have any idea's about what it could be. Also there was a rumor about a 'MSG4 killer' that MS is developing, do you know more about it? If my English is bad, I know, zorry for that ;)
Thanks for answering.
What? KH3 won't be exclusive to Wii?
Hi surfergirl,
The "Downfall: San Francisco" game sounds similar to the project "Alive" that Yves Guillemot mentioned in an interview with Eurogamer. No connections?
Thx for answering, Surfer Girl.
I love you, I really do (hope you really are a girl), just like all of us. (Right?) I'd like to ask a question- any info on a GTA IV exact release date? And what about the pat GTAs coming to consoles in downloadable form? Is this happening to X360?
Excuse my English, i'm Polish (and proud of it)
Hi surfer, happy new year!!
I have some questions for you:
-Wiimote is perfect for the FPS: is some SH bringing on Wii some GREAT franchise, as Unreal Tournament, or Far Cry (Well...a better one than Vengeance)?
-I read, a lot of time Ago, that Bizarre wanted to make a new racing Wii game. New info about this?
-When will the Everyone's Nintendo Channel come in Europe? And in America?
Thank you!!
Hi, again surfer girl. There was a rumor a couple of months ago that Epic is working on PS3 game that is set in "Gears of War" universe. Is there any true in this`?
Hi Surfer Girl!
Do you know if there are plans to bring Geometry Wars: Galaxies back to the 360? Since it was the Live posterboy, it seems to make sense to me...and I would much rather play it with dual analog sticks.
Hi. I was happy to see Phantom Dust on that list. It would be really great if someone did some type of marketing for the game. Game videos, or a demo, or something for free on the Marketplace. It's such an amazing and under-appreciated Xbox game.
if they're going to be BC, are there going to be more BC titles than what you listed in the next update?
logan: Yes, probably this year.
wiiman: This year.
anonymous one: This quarter.
crumbbum: Konami, like most companies, likes money. If they could get a boatload of money by exploiting an opportunity, they will take it.
red: An announcement will happen in the next four or five months, the game is on track for a fall release. From what I hear, it is different enough from the previous entries that it appears to exist in a different canon.
markofnikoff: Yes. I doubt that game's existence.
anonymous two: Of course, it won't.
a non-ymous: No connections. But I can't find this interview you speak of, the only thing I see on the site is an article about an IHT piece is which he discussed it.
swiechu: Spring. It is happening on PS360, not an exclusive to any console.
anonymous three: No. No. In the next few months.
globox: No.
rip: No.
xrayzwei: There should be.
Hey SG,
Thanks for the answer, but the only problem is that you give answers in a gandalf style :P
So u have an idea about what MS is about te unveil at CES2008. So what is it? Will they put HD-DVD in their box, or is it the new gen Xbox allready :P? Or is it simply a new software title?
Grtz
Hey surfer girl. Great blog. Just a few questions
-Are any of the gears of war coming to the PS3
-Is someone making dead rising 2 and what platforms will it come on.
-Do you think Ninja Gaiden 2 will be ported to ps3 after the 360
-Any idea of Team ICO's next project
Thanks
will you be able to download gameboy color games to your ds
Hi Surfer Girl....I was wondering, will there be anymore Arc The Lad games? And will there be another Radiata Stories game?
What do you think of the game dark sector?
I was wondering if you knew anything about a folklore sequel or anything having to do with folklore please(anything and everything if you can).
Markofnikoff: Yes. No, no, no.
anonymous one: No. Yes, PS360. Never. Yes.
anonymous two: Possible.
unknown5: Not a clue.
anonymous three: Looks decent.
777: I played Folklore, I don't remember it.
Now that bioware are officially part of EA now are we going to see their games on all consoles?
hi surfer girl do you thing rockstar games will make san andreas stories for the psp or ps2??
