There are a couple upcoming games that are going to be awesome, in my opinion anyway.

The First one thats going to be coming out is Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Dungeon™. It comes out on July 8th. This seems to be a more advanced version of the game Chocobo’s Dungeon 2 on the Playstation. one of the cooler features that they added is the ability to change jobs.

The official press release can be seen here.  The official web-site is here.

Some of the highlights of the Press Release are as follows.

STORY
Chocobo and Cid, FINAL FANTASY mainstays-turned-treasure hunters, are magically transported to a mysterious town whose people’s memories are lost with each bell toll of the clocktower. One day, a strange boy named Raffaello arrives and creates dungeons of memories to help the townspeople remember who they are. Now it’s up to Chocobo to journey through the dungeons and retrieve everyone’s memories!

FEATURES

• A compelling gaming experience utilizing a variety of classic FINAL FANTASY job classes such as the knight, black mage and white mage to aid Chocobo in his fight against evil

The next one coming out is Gauntlet for the Nintendo DS on July 15th.

Lego™ Batman™ doesn’t have a Solid release date as of yet but they are saying September 2008.

They announced this game on 18th April 2007 so it’s been building quite a lot of anticipation.

The official release can be seen here. Although I think everyone would rather just see a trailer which can be seen here. This game will have the same basic set up as The previous Lego video games with a Batman twist on them.

And last of the games is Star Wars™ The Clone Wars™: Lightsaber Duels™ which should be coming out sometime in the 2008 Holiday season. This game is going to have a Motion based battle system for you to be able to play out being a Jedi.

Official press release here and the Official website here. The press release only gives vague details about the game. Even though I don’t like the Star Wars movies being able to sword fight on the Wii should still be cool.

Star Wars™ The Clone Wars™: Lightsaber Duels™, in development by Krome Studios exclusively for the Wii, delivers fun-filled Lightsaber battles for the entire family while it immerses players in the characters, locations, and epic duels from the all-new Star Wars featured film. Built from the ground-up for the Wii, Lightsaber Duels features an intuitive motion-controlled combat system that puts the Lightsaber™ weapon in your hand for non-stop fun.
