Trauma Team - "Successor to Trauma Center" - Spring 2010

[Cao Cao]

This was originally announced in Famitsu as "Hospital," and they mentioned in the article that it would be TC's successor.

Well, Atlus decided to make the connection even clearer by announcing it for release in the US under the title of Trauma Team. As the title hints, you are no longer restricted to following the procedures of one or two doctors. Instead, you now have an entire team of doctors, each specializing in a different field of medicine. (General surgeon, diagnostician, E.M.T., orthopedic surgeon, endoscope technician and medical examiner)

True-Gaming (http://www.true-gaming.net/home/?p=1108) has high quality scans of the Famitsu piece:

So does this mean no more GUILT?

So does this mean no more GUILT?

It'll probably make an appearance in some form.

The Famitsu article details the background of one doctor referred to as CR-SO1, the general surgeon (Red-eyed guy with the black hair). Apparently, he was in prison for some reason and was somehow released by this hospital to perform surgeries. He seems to possess the Healing Touch, and I'm sure that we'll learn more about his mysterious past as the plot advances.

Hope there's co-op play.

MASTURBATING.

Second image from the bottom seems to suggest the use of palm farts to cure patients. YES, PLEASE!

[Redeema]

I prefer the one where the chick is lifting up her top. Will they have nipples? I know they like their anime nipple-free.

[Squarehard]

Does this also mean its up to 4 players now, since after all its "Trauma Team". Thatd be sweet. I mean the first one was only 1 player, second one went 2 player, come on 4 players? :D

[lilboo]

4 Players would be too much I think.. :lol:

[Kaoz]

I love trauma center on the DS, havnt tried either of the Wii versions.

Will have to pick this up once it comes out.

[lilboo]

I enjoy the Wii games more than the DS games. The controls, for once, are what make this game.

[Squarehard]

personally i liked new blood much better than any of the DS versions, but Second Opinion on the Wii just didnt sell it as much for me since I had already played the first Under the Knife for the DS and they didnt really add too much, although it was great that they did add extra content to it. but it was still pretty enjoyable, but I think New Blood sold me on the multiplayer.

[Kaoz]

Hm, I assumed the DS version would control better thats why I got the games for it. Will have to keep an eye out for a good deal on New Blood now.

[Lone_Prodigy]

I never played the DS versions, but New Blood was one of the best games to use the Wii controls. Plus it's a blast to play co-op: the only quibble I had was that activating the Healing Touch (beat the whole game on Easy but needed it on the last level) was a pain. The story is horrible but hilarious in an anime/campy sort of way.

[robin2099]

I'm excited, though hopefully they tone down the difficulty a bit. I still cant get past the artificial skin on the hart stage of the second game.

Hope there's co-op play. Yeah, definitely. I enjoyed playing TC: New Blood with the girlfriend.

[EXStrike]

Hope there's co-op play.

Actually it looks like there's co-op play looking at this screen:
