Dun dah duuuun. From http://www.rpgfan.com... Seiken Densetsu 4 will be on the PS2. A big "WELL DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH..." and "HOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!" for that.

Nextech did the Shining Soul games that were like Secret of Mana, but awful, right? This news doesn't make me happy.

I like Shining Soul 2. It's not the best game evAr, but it's not awful at all. There's not much of a story, but name a Shining game where you were interested past, "HE BAD! ME GOOD!"
For what it's worth, it's a lot more fun to play than Secret of Mana, and it's mentioned that they tried rilly rilly hard to show Square they could do it. Have a little faith, friend.

Gau/Nextech/Next Entertainment did Code: Veronica, Ranger X and Crusader of Centy.

I think Children of Mana is in good hands.

It's a subway and laundromat game, like Mario Golf for GBA. Fun in short bursts, and all that, perfect for a portable.
I wish i had someone to play with.

I know one other guy with a GBA and no one who would even know about Shining Soul.

I only plated the first Shining Soul and it was the most simplistic and boring attempt at anything resembling an RPG I have ever played. It wasn't even that it was broken as much as just tragically uninteresting.

They didn't "do" Code:Veronica. They lent some programmers to help Capcom get a handle on the DC hardware, but that was a Capcom/Flagship production all the way.

Nextech is kind of like the opposite of red company. Alot of what they do is co-development and doing work on other people's games, handling the technical side of things (wheras red does things like character design and story, but not programming)
