Famitsu as always is the first magazine to get informations about the latest japanese games. They already have this 2 page article about Taito's World Airforce, with lots of new images to look at. Update : Better quality scans.
Thanks for this ! Looking good.
Does anyone know, how has the Ace Combat series sold in Japan ? Just wondering how popular these Jet Fighter games are over there..
[Edit]
Sorry if that looks a little confusing, basically Namco are ranked 8th most successful developer of 2004 and shipped 1,059,371 units, they have produced 6 individual titles and the most notable of those titles is Ace Combat 5.
That's about the best I could do as to answer your question tonto, but judging by these figures its easy to see that Ace Combat and games of that genre are quite popular in Japan.
Well I did say Might have... so of course nothing is certain. This game could be really bad, but its at least a game type available in Japan that might get someones interested in 360.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
