Namco Bandai has opened a countdown site for its new mystery title, which is now confirmed as coming to the 3DS.
Aside from some abstract artwork, the enigmatic site gives us very little to go on at present. The countdown timer indicates the reveal will take place in just under four days (at the time of writing, of course).
Do you have any ideas of what this game could be? Do you think we'll see the birth of an interesting new franchise, or could this be an update of one of Namco Bandai's existing IPs? Or perhaps it's going to be a licensed title which won't see the light of day outside of Japan?
Hopefully it won't be the latter, but go ahead and share your guess in the comments second below.

Well, since Nintendo trusted it to help on Smash Bros., I'm hoping it's a Nintendo IP.
A new Tales.
@Snakellama Erm, wouldn't Nintendo be teasing it, then?
A new IP that is perhaps futuristic in design if you judge from the artwork or a new game in an existing franchise. Maybe it's even a 3DS version of the Tales HD remakes for PS3. At a long shot maybe it's a StarFox title!
Project X Zone 2?
Tekken card game
Maybe a new Starfox cross "something" from one of their IPs. Namco did a really good job Starfox Assault for the GameCube...so such saying here...
A Tales of Symphonia port? :3
Dark Souls 3D? Please?
WAIT AND SEE LOOKS LIKE A ROBOT GAME
It better not be something lame like a new pac-man party game or somthing.
@aalphalist I agree all this hype and than its pacman party or something weak Like that would be a total letdown for me
If its anything like their Wii U "announcements" prepare to be disappointed through their "exciting" new Barbie & Monster High games.
Hopefully it's something great.
@Angelic_Lapras_King
If it´s a port game, maybe will be Tales of Vesperia (PXZ)
@BATRA
I think the same
@MeowGravy
Mmm... It´s Monster Hunter is possible, this can be... but the desing of the teaser isn't the style of that game.
@therick112
I don't think...
Namco Bandai? Please be some sort of Digimon world wide release!
Or a new IP
Finds new, unnanounced title, claims it's starfox
Time to play the waiting game, very curious about this!
Common //hack Sign. I know that's real wishful thinking but would be awesome on 3DS
Pacman MMORPG for 3DS. Nah, I have no idea. We will find out soon! =)
The abstract art makes me believe its going to be a puzzle game that deals with shapes?
Some sort of puzzle game, I'm totally calling it, lol
@aalphalist the new pacman has allready been annocned
@MeowGravy thats what im hoping for kinda, doesnt really fit the aesthetic though
anyone know what the v, and the f, mean
The Abstract art might be a hint. Perhaps the art style of the game is abstract. Or it could be a painting game.
dragon ball heroes ultimate mission?
@LaytonAprentice If it was a localization then the teaser wouldn't be linking exclusively to Japanese websites. We can still be hopeful though?
What is interesting me more than anything else is the weird "Score-Boxes" right above the announcement. Everything else is stock fair for a new announcement teaser; abstract art, countdown clock, and slick fonts. For some reason my brain went straight to 'Virtua Fighter' upon seeing the 'V' and 'F', but that series is owned by Sega, so......I got nothing.
Whatever it is I hope it's an RPG
I'm calling it, a new Gundam Game.
Some virtual fighter game like megaman. Or something like gundam.
Super Robot Wars please!
The abstract image has me thinking Katamari.
Most likely another licensed anime game that'll never leave Japan. Can't wait to hack my 3DS. Thanks for unwittingly supporting console hacking by having stupid restrictions Nintendo!
Please Be a Tales game i loved tales of the Aybss on 3DS XD
I'm hoping for a Tales game of course.
I'm hoping for Tales or SoulCalibur, but due to the look of the teaser, it doesn't appear to be either of those.
I'm not sure what it is. Maybe a sort of reboot of Galaga? (or an arcade collection, given the score box).
Probably a licensed game we'll never see though, as that's all they've been releasing as of late, lol.
puhlease let it be a new tales game! that would just be awesome
In a dystopian future where, after a failed experiment cats became rulers of the world, only one hero is willing to stop them. Mappy: Rodent Cop.
It's new ice climbers. I'm putting money on it
I'm not sure what it is but I highly doubt it's a Nintendo IP.. Nintendo likes to control it's announcements and it would be in a direct.
I am thinking it is a .hack game.
I hope it is not a Tales game. I really liked Tales of Phantasia. Sort of liked Symphonia didn't like anything after too much cutscene not enough game. I liked JRPG's when they engaged me like a book. Not a dull 2nd rate movie.
Qbert
I hope it has a NUNS esque feel with a wide open world. that would be cool, having a battle system like NUNS but a huge world to explore.
MS Saga 2??
@Raghav Virtual fighter game like Mega Man? I'm not sure you understand what kind of game Mega Man is. Hint: PLATFORMER (witht the exception of a few spinoff titles, but even those were not virtual fighters)
@UgliestSoup I'll take that bet. Odds are highly in my favor considering Namco Bandai doesn't own Ice Climbers franchise. Bout the same odds as Nintendo making the next Uncharted.
Hey! I know what is this! Well, at half XD
@Damo
First, this game is a cross-over... well, duh?
Second: One IP has 30 years and starts with F
Third: The other IP has 20 years and starts with V
The only game with F of 1983 is Phozon (フォゾン Fozon)
About the other... I don´t fink anything...
On the site I see...
V 20th Anniversary X F 30th Anniversary... What games with those initials have had anniversaries lately???
It`s about time for another Starfox game.
F&V... hm. thinking out of box. what if it's not games itself? for F 30th Anniversary... hm... Famicom maybe? Dunno about V...
Hey, the game is Jump Legend Biography
@jurujuru Yes, the F was Famicom. The V is related to Jump Magazine.
It´s talk about games like Dragon Ball: Mystery of Shenlong (NES), Saint Seiya: The Golden Legend (NES), Saint Seiya: The Golden Legend Final Chapter (NES), Charge! Men’s Private School (NES) and Go! Go! Ackman 3 (SNES).
Probably just going to be a puzzle game.
I hope that it is Mario galaxy "3"ds or super Mario sunshine 2
I think that the game was announced check the site
Well thers a game starting with "V" and it is in it's 20th Anniversary X another that begins with "F" and that is in it's 30th Anniversary so its probbly a Fusion/Crossover game looking at it.
I hope to God it's not another over-hyped Project X Zone.
"V" could be Virtua Fighter which was developed in '93 which would explain the "V 20th Anniversary". And yes, the "F" could mean Famicom. Who knows? A crossover game in the style of Virtua Fighter? They already did Project X Zone, maybe it's "Famicom X Zone"? LOL
@MeowGravy Some game like this would be a dream come true.
@RR529 Loads of good VC Arcade stuff they have released for the wii (Pity nearly not outside Japan there again they have more taste there).
Hopefully it's a sequel to Solatorobo!
@LaytonAprentice There is a chance yeah , even the pic maybe related to digimon.
So what is it? The countdown stopped and nothing is shown.
All that for a soccer game? Come on, who would be expecting a soccer game? J Legend Retsuden.
Looks like it's just a retro game collection.
