Wada Lists The 3rd Birthday As A Big 2010 Title
Last week, Square-Enix director Hajime Tabata said they'd be showing off The 3rd Birthday some time soon and now, it appears that we'll actually get the final product this year.
Well, they will in Japan, at any rate. According to Siliconera, Nikkei's Trendynet published a brief talk with Square-Enix boss Yoichi Wada, and after talking about the hot topics of today (3D, for instance), he mentioned the company's big games for 2010. Although he didn't provide any further details, he listed Nier, which is set to launch this week, Deus-Ex: Human Revolution, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days and yes, The 3rd Birthday. This means the game is closer than we thought and we should probably see some actual gameplay media at E3. Sadly, he does not say anything about Final Fantasy Versus XIII but then again, who really expected that one to launch this year? The 3rd Birthday, on the other hand, is coming right along and we can't wait to get a look at Aya's long-awaited third entry. The sequel back on the original PlayStation was too Resident Evil-ish for me, but it was still fun. I'm just wondering how many PSP owners really remember Parasite Eve...
Anyway, we'll now have to keep an eye out for more details and info concerning The 3rd Birthday. And here's hoping a North American release isn't too far behind the Japanese release!

I mean it's only a strong business strategy which will help notify people of the game. - It's been 10 whole years since Parasite Eve II...the mass would have definitely forgotten about it. Why not bring back a memory huh?
Here Wada picture this: why not make a PSP remake of Parasite Eve calling it "Parasite Eve 12th Anniversary Edition" and make a remake of Parasite Eve 2 calling it "Parasite Eve 10th Anniversary Edition?
Remember - the thing you did w/ Final Fantasy I & II for PSP - why not use the same strategy. And why is a college student sitting at his house coming up with these ideas to help a moron like you Wada kun?
*groans*
Final Fantasy Versus XIII...............................................................................................................I guess I won't be able to play it until I get a Ph.D - no not because I (being my parents) want to study study study...but I doubt that it'll even come out before then.
C'mon Nomura sama just show the game as it is at E3 - who cares about the World Map and airships - just show those stuff later. Feed us something for god's sake or we'll lose interest in you - the Chef's - food!
And Wada kun can easily think of putting FFXIII multiplatform yet fail to think of how to actually make The 3rd Birthday be a BIG 2010 title.

Also I don't see a psp game being creepy ever and whats the fun of a horror game that isn't scary or at least a little creepy.

On the plus, it shows they haven't forgot.
This disturbs me...
"Aya is the main focus of this game. Due to her special powers, she still has the body of a woman in her 20s, although in terms of age she should actually be 35 years old. Motomu Toriyama, the scenario director, feels that it is rare to be able to focus on a woman in her mid 30s in a game and is taking the opportunity to properly depict the thinking and lifestyle of a cool woman"....what utter ageist tripe.

Are Parasite Eve one and two on the PSN?
