What are your dream announcements/releases for 2003?

Simple; what would your dream announcements/releases for 2003 be, provided it could happen realistically (as in time-wise, because though it will never happen, we could see Shaq Fu 2 in 2003, but something like seeing Halo 3 released before Halo 2 wouldn't work). Here's mine:

SquareSoft announces new Einhander for PS2, new Secret of Mana and Evermore for Gamecube, new Parasite Eve and Rad Racer for Xbox and FFXI to Xbox Live, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Secret of Mana and Evermore, and FF3/6 ports to GBA.

Punch Out sequel announced: nuff said.

Shenmue 3 announced, in developement for three years and built from the ground up on Xbox, screens determine it to be the most graphically impressive game of all time and the series gets a shit load of hype :D

New Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, and Conker revealed... sooner, damn it.

Paper Mario and/or Mario RPG sequel revealed, with cooperation from Square.

New Skies of Arcadia built from the ground up on Gamecube.

Sega aquires WWE licence and uses it with brand totally upgraded Giant Gram engine.

Sega announces new Phantasy Star Online.

Virtua Fighter Evo to Xbox with Live support.

GTA online revealed with hugely beefed up engine, coming to PS2 as well as Xbox Live in 2005.

Soul Calibur 2 supports Xbox Live.

Sega reveals Sega GT 2003 with 200+ new cars, 30 more tracks, and Live support.

- Acclaim files for bankruptcy. :D
- Sega announces Phantasy Star 5 (for any system. I don't care, as long as it comes out) which continues the story of the Algol Star System seen in parts 1,2, and 4.
- A new Wonder Boy game is in development.
- Animal Crossing 2 will be online and is compatible with your save from part one.
- 10 rpgs are in development for Xbox and none suck!
- Ys remakes for PS2 come stateside in a limited edition package including soundtrack, poster, art book, and a pin!
- Sin & Punishment is ported to Game Cube with upgraded graphics and sound, as well as new stages.
- RE4 plays NOTHING like the others in the series and is truly ground-breaking.

Hey, a dude can dream, can't he?

Andy, Square is releasing Paraiste Eve Rebirth this year :)

RE4 actually coming out by the end of 2003.

More great Capcom games.

SF4 is announced. It's 3-D but plays 2-D with Cel-Shaded graphics. The character's still have the 'weight' as the 2-D games. The Street Fighter franchise comes back.

A new Jet Set Radio is announced for all platforms. There are B-sides from the Beastie's new album on the soundtrack. I love it and it sells like Johnny Cakes.

An RPG comes out that I like.

RE4 adopts an intuitive control system

Animal Crossing 2 goes online: If done right it could be incredible, done even just a little wrong and it could really suck.

Sierra releases King's Quest 9 which in an unprecedented move returns to its roots but with today's graphics (2D), sound, and attention to detail as far as characters and plot.

JSRF gets ported to something.

Treasure releases another shooter that rounds out a "trilogy" with RSG and Ikaruga.

SNK/Playmore/Whoever starts releasing classic Neo Geo packs that contain 2-5 (depending on how "classic" they are) or so Neo Geo games on one disc.

Pump It Up comes out for PS2

Beatmania IIDX comes to America

My god, you read my mind!

ANother wish - New Castlevania game, in High-Res 2d on REAL system. With amazing visuals, music, huge castle, and ton of secrets.

yeah, yeah.

But I'd say 3-D castlevania like Rygar, except with more bad guys and less voice acting.

Well, If going 3d route, it can be simular to DMC/Rygar, with Gothic Castle designs like in DMC, Sword and possibly Gun action of DMC, and Whip action from Rygar.

Whip action, definately. Simon or Trevor needs to be brought back. Or maybe Sypha... that'd be cool.
