A Bunch of Random New Trailers

Y'know, as hard as it may be to believe, I don't always have something to say about every RPG. Just usually. ;)

Today a bunch of trailers I have never seen before surfaced for a few games that I really have very little interest in. But you might. So I'm going to post them. Below. So you can, y'know, watch them. If you want.

Hmm, I think that Dan-Damu trailer might have already been posted. Oh well, whatever.

5pb. Announces Item Getter

In this week's edition of "yet another DS RPG you'll never play," 5pb. Games (an arm of Japanese entertainment media group 5pb. Inc.) has announced Item Getter: Bokura no Kagaku to Mahou no Kankei (lit. The Relationship of Our Science and Magic) for Nintendo DS via the latest issue of Famitsu.

Following the adventures of the young Peekay Boajeel (at least, that's as close as I can make the English look like the Japanese sounds) as he stumbles into the magical kingdom of Anfiria. ...Well, maybe the term "magical" is a bit misleading. It looks actually like an odd hybrid of the modern-ish world with steampunk and fantasy themes sprinkled in. If you can think along the lines of Steambot Chronicles, you shouldn't be far off.

The game is reportedly a combination of an adventure game and an RPG. However, in practice, the game looks (to me at least) like a mix of the Atelier series (with alchemy item creation) and Rune Factory.

This is an interesting game coming from 5pb., as they usually only publish graphic novel-type games. I suppose we'll see how they do at RPGaming.

The game is set to release in Japan on Nintendo DS sometime next February.

You can see the Famitsu scans below. I will translate the article if there is enough interest.
