Do you sometimes just stare at your fish tank for hours wondering how it would be like to actually be a fish? I guess the biggest nightmare for fish must be to get caught by a nice sharp hook. What on earth does this have to do with the preview? More than you think my friend so let’s get started.

Kawa no Nushi Tsuri aka Legend of the River King is a RPG developed by Natsumi (the same guys that created the Harvest Moon series). Ok fine, I have a confession to make. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Legend of the River King and was quite surprised that the series was released on various consoles such as NES, SNES, GB, PSX, PS2, and GBA. Either these games where really bad or I’ve been missing something the past couple of years.

The prime object of this game believe it or not is fishing. Your mission is to go find this big fish known as Guardian. Your sister however has been infected with some deadly disease and the only cure is provided by this so called Guardian (sounds like a real sad story to me). The usual RPG elements like collecting stuff, buying stuff, selling stuff, upgrading stuff and chatting to the town’s locals about stuff is also present.

But wait, there’s more! Also included is the very cool fish tank mode (aka Raise) which allows you to raise, breed and feed… fish! Tamagotchi fans should be thrilled. The title is planned for release somewhere throughout the course of the year. ><))’>

Well for those who don’t know yet, Final Fantasy: Dissidia is the next FF installment coming to PSP after Crisis Core. This title however will be quite different to what fans have gotten use to over the years. Dissidia is a 1 on 1 fighting game (yes I’m serious) and that’s about it.

Now before you start yelling “OMG WTF” just relax and here me out. This title will be very different to the usual side-scrolling fighting games you’ve been playing in the arcades. Dissidia will have full 3D batte arenas and will allow you character to perform various special stunts like running up walls, sliding off rails etc. The game will also include EX meters, combos, and special attacks as you would expect from a fighting title.

The fun part is that finally you can have all your favorite Final Fantasy characters killing each other in the palm of your hands. Announced fighters include Warrior of light, Garland, Firion, Sephiroth, Squall, Ultimecia, Zidane, Kuja and more so it should be quite interesting to see what these guys can do.
