Well, it's finally business day Monday in Japan, so our NDA has finally dissipated! So, getting down to it, here's the world's first media of what is being called RPG Maker 6 (ala SE's correction of the Final Fantasy series):

Here's what we know about the game so far:

For: Nintendo Wii
Share method: Downloadable through Friend Codes. Also requires the unique RT6 code included in the game to transfer. You must know both and you can't trade games without them. Downloads to system.

System:

^ shows plans for the system workings. Not final, though.

After this, head to the <a href="http://www.rpgmpavilion.com">RPG Maker Pavilion</a> immediately!

Sweet. AWESOME. Looks great!

For the Wii!?!??!?!

If it's for the Wii, I might as well not bother looking because I am not getting the Wii.

hxc?

From what I can tell, the system's like RM1 + RM3.

But it's for the Wii!

I almost wish it was an April Fool's joke.

Well...

I was Close!!!

2.4 times 2.5 = 6 !!!

So There!

What's Wiii??

*lays down sword*

I admit defeat. After all the debate about which system it's on, I won't bother trying to say how smart/dumb it is to be on Nintendo's system.

oh well, props.

Are you kidding?

Most disappointing news, ever.

Valk had me thinking it wouldn't be a new game at all. This was the last thing I was expecting but pretty much what I was hoping for. And I totally called it that they were going to put us on the correct numbers like FF and DQ did, except I wasn't sure if it'd be 6 or 7.

But yeah, the transfer method thing is EXTREMELY lame. At least now you don't have to buy a 3rd party peripheral but only people who you share friend codes with can play your game. Stupid Wii and its stupid Friend Codes.

Thats really cool.

I need to wait for TAI to help me download the file.

I can't get the system demo to work, or is it nothing more than a menu that does nothing?

Help!

You are correct, sir.

I dunno, I see no reason to "correct" the numbers, since, unlike Final Fantasy, we're not likely ever gonna get to see RPGT1, 2, and 4.

The sharing method is the most depresssing news ever. Why would Enterbrain shoot themselves in the foot like this? I want to keep my hopes up, but if this truly is the only way to share games, we have somehow stepped down ANOTHER level from RM3. I didn't even know that was possible.

But god, I hope I'm wrong or at least misunderstanding something.

Only halfway.

I mean...

I've seen it mentioned around here, Doan's, and The Pavilion...

But...

I've never actually seen one.

All I know is that it's a console from Nintendo.

Supposedly some big deal thing.

But I'm more of a game maker than a game player. (Got some fun Flash stuff)

I have not bought a new game (or even a used game) since RPGM3. I haven't even turned on my television for Months!!

So I am really quite clueless about any details.

Still, I don't relish the thought of buying a new console for one game. It would have to be Really Impressive!!

Screens so far mean nothing.

Do it gots a VFX Editor??

That's the sort of stuffs I wanna know!!

I'll go play with the demo thingy...

AHHHHHHHH!

Sorry, I just had to let that out.

There is still hope people, THERE IS, maybe the PAV will tell us at 3:30 it was April Fool's Joke all along.

Ha Ha

Very funny.

You win, I fell for it.

Back to ignorance is bliss.

(whistles 'Old Spice' song) and hits head repeatedly agains the wall.

heh...

lucky Bo.

It was a prank. Anybody else not surprised?

*shrug*

it made no big difference to me anyway, since no console maker has had a UK release yet and i doubt any ever will. and i don't have a next-gen console. ^^

sheesh... kids and their April Fools... =P

So wait, while Valysass posted at the Pav that he did nothing wrong, Ixzion blatantly lied about the Wii, the sharing, the title, the demo, and the media screenshots, right?
