Some Info about Suda51's segment of the game

Kaiho Shojo is set in Japan 100 years in the future. To stop global warming, people have started to use a new natural energy know as Shinjuu. An invading country seals off the Shinjuu source, starving Japan of its energy, the occupied the country.

President Shoko, the second president of "New Japan" takes matters into her own hand. Using her Kaihoki ("Liberation Machine") Kamui, an 11 foot winged mech, she face off against the enemy.

Shoko is the "shojo," or "girl" of the title. She's just a highschool student, but managed to become president anyway. Her father was the first president, but he was assassinated.

We don't know too much about Kaiho Shojo's gameplay, but it is said to be a shooter. You make use of the touch pen to control the Kamui mech.

Highschool Girl who is Presient and Pilots a Giant Mech defending a magic power source and hints of political intrigue.

Bet $20 that it becomes an anime by next year.

Couldn't care less about Suda's involvement TBH, but Yoot Saito? Now that's a fellow whose work I can get behind.
I just remember him from the classic PC game, Sim Tower, which was by no means a masterpiece but the creativity behind it was undeniable. Go Yoot! xD

Alas, Yasumi Matsuno's contribution to Guild 01 is shrouded in mystery — a crimson veil of mystery, if you will. Famitsu describes it as an adventure RPG set in a fantasy world.

Kaiho shojo and Crimson shroud look awesome and the weapon shop one looks okay but air porter doesn't look that good. Time travellers looks fantastic too and I look forward to finding out what the gameplay is like.
@Komicz I think he is the son of the other guy in the picture and that they run the shop together.

@MickeyMac I have this game, and I really don't think it would sell well overseas. In my mind, they should just sell certain ones on the e-shop, that would increase their chances of making money off this game outside of Japan if they want to localize it.

NOOOOOOOOO!

A minigame collection? Hopefully it will be $20 in NA... Considering how if it were full priced it wouldn't do well.

It's not exactly minigames. Think smaller games compiled together by good developers.
Granted, putting all of these on the eShop separately would prove less risky.

@TheDreamingHawk I wouldn't call them mini-games, as the non-puzzle games are more like full-fledged games, but yeah...

I'm playing Aero-Porter now, and that definitely could have been an e-shop title. Its still fun (though frustrating to an almost rage-level), but yeah...its quite simplistic and couldn't be sold on its own. Crimson Shroud I think wouldn't sell well overseas at all. Its too text-heavy and since the characters don't move (they're represented in the game as statues, 3D-polygon statues) it can get a little boring at times. The story itself is good, but yeah, it takes a long time to actually get to any action. I haven't played the other two yet.

@Sony_70 Actually, Rentaru Bukiya isn't a fantasy RPG at all, but a rhythm game. It feels almost like Cooking Mama with a little bit of Rhythm Tengoku , where you make weapons for the types of characters that live in fantasy RPG type worlds.

EDIT: BTW, I've seen Guild02, the website is up now, and those games look so much more interesting.
