3: Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (Nintendo Wii)
Unless you've played the series before, you have no idea what to expect from Fatal Frame Wii debut. Hands-down one of the scariest franchises ever created in gaming, and the brain child of the original Fatal Frame team, Nintendo, and Suda 51, Fatal Frame 4 is showcasing the same classic Japanese horror visuals that gamers have grown to love on the PS2 and Xbox, and some of the creepiest gameplay out there. Armed with only a camera to protect you, players jump head first into a world filled with deadly ghosts, and it'll take a quick trigger and nerves of steel to survive. Details on the game are sparse thus far, but we know the Wii-mote will play a major part in the experience, and all signs point to it being used as a camera pointer in the same vein as previous Wii first-person shooters. We love horror games, and this is one of the best in the business.
4: Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Nintendo DS)
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow was awesome. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin was awesome. So we're expecting Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia to be awesome. We got a very short sneak peak at the third Nintendo DS Castlevania game a month ago at a Konami press event, and we're hoping that we'll be getting more than just a taste of the gameplay at this year's E3. We know about the story basics and that the game will utilize a tweaked version of the game engine built for the first two games. And we know that there will be some sort of data transfer feature between this DS game and the upcoming Wii fighter, Castlevania Judgement. Beyond that, we're just going to have to wait for Konami's showing down in LA for all the new tidbits for this Fall 2008 release.
5: Chrono Trigger DS (Nintendo DS)
Did you hear that Chrono Trigger is back? The game only got officially announced on July 2, but already the Internet is flipping out (in a good way) over the prospect of playing Chrono Trigger on the DS. The Super Nintendo role playing game is hailed as one of the greatest RPGs, and games, of all time and a lot of the elements introduced in Chrono Trigger influenced and helped shape other Square Enix games. Fans still acclaim the soundtrack, and the multiple endings made it so that Chrono Trigger fans could play the game for years without getting bored. We don't have many details for the Nintendo DS version besides the fact that the game will have a new dungeon, wireless mode and is being "remastered." Whether that turns out to be a Dragon Quest IV type of remastering, or a full on Final Fantasy IV remastering remains to be seen, but we can't wait to find out. Hopefully we will at this year's show.
