Upcoming PS2 games

[Ryuukishi]

I'm not going to try to predict the "last major release" for PS2 (because Okami, Final Fantasy XII, and Persona 3 haven't turned out to be so "last" after all), but it does seem like the system is finally getting to the end of its life. What games are people looking forward to in 2008 and 2009?

For me:

Persona 4
Ar tonelico II
Samurai Shodown Anthology (might get this for Wii instead though)

Persona 4 :drool:

Isn't Atlus coming up with a ps2 game that is similar to Odin Sphere, but set in japan with ninjas? I swear I've seen trailer of it about three months ago...

Odin Sphere was Vanillaware, though Atlus published for them in the U.S.

You are most likely thinking of Oboro Muramasa Youtonden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEKXImWQOmg)

Its a Wii exclusive

For me:

Persona 4
Everyone should want this.

Shining Dragon
Very, very crappy brawler based on the anime series Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny, featuring scantily clad girls that have their clothes explode. It's gonna be $15, so just get it. It's fun to laugh at.

Maybes:

Ar tonelico II
The first one so far has been crap, and I don't even like the girls in II (kinda important with this series), so I dunno...

Mana-Khemia 2 (if it's coming to the US)
Haven't played the first yet. I liked Atelier Iris 1 and 2, but 3 (and Ar tonelico) were a disappointment, so I'm just not sure if I should even bother anymore...

[Ryuukishi]

Shining DragonWow. Looks... interesting. Don't know if I'd feel comfortable playing this in front of other people. :) But for $15 or less, unless the game is completely terrible it might be hard to pass up.

I might also get Shining Dragon. It might the only anime game I purchase this year.

[Ronin317]

SamSho! It can't come out quick enough!

[thelonepig]

SamSho! It can't come out quick enough!

Yes, please.

[SOLUSDEATH]

Lego Batman
Persona 4
Yakuza 2
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (yes there is a PS2 version coming out, should be good)

[Monsta Mack]

Are we sure the PS2 is dying yet? In Japan It's still selling 20k a week, sometimes in the US, what 30k a week? I forget Europe numbers. The software new releases look low yes, but for the poor peeps they are still buying these things left and right.

Anyways, if it happens to die by later next year my picks are:

KOF 98 Ultimate Match (if it doesn't hit any other platforms)
and
Persona 4

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

[Chacrana]

Personally, I'm picking up:

Persona 4
Samurai Shodown Collection (Most likely the import version)
Sengoku Basara X (Import)
King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match (Import)
Yakuza 2
Beatmania IIDX 15 (Import)

[Rei no Otaku]

Yakuza 2
Samurai Shodown Collection
Persona 4
Ar Tonelico 2
King of Fighters Collection
King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match

If that even comes over. They did the same thing with DW Gundam and that one stayed in Japan.
