Famitsu as always is the first magazine to get informations about the latest japanese games. They already have this 2 page article about Taito's World Airforce, with lots of new images to look at. Update : Better quality scans.
Thanks for this ! Looking good.
Does anyone know, how has the Ace Combat series sold in Japan ? Just wondering how popular these Jet Fighter games are over there..
[Edit]
Sorry if that looks a little confusing, basically Namco are ranked 8th most successful developer of 2004 and shipped 1,059,371 units, they have produced 6 individual titles and the most notable of those titles is Ace Combat 5.
That's about the best I could do as to answer your question tonto, but judging by these figures its easy to see that Ace Combat and games of that genre are quite popular in Japan.
Well I did say Might have... so of course nothing is certain. This game could be really bad, but its at least a game type available in Japan that might get someones interested in 360.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (6 Days ago)
