Jump Festa, a good chance to get a preview of what import games will be out in 2010, is fast approaching. It’s happening December 19-20, 2009 this year, and video game developers and publishers like Capcom, Koei, Konami, Sega, Sony, Square Enix, Nintendo, Hudson, Namco Bandai, Banpresto and Marvelous Entertainment have already RSVP-ed. In the case of Square Enix, its done a bit better. Square Enix has announced what games will be playable at the event. So if you can make it to Makuhari Messe, in Chiba, Japan, you could get first-hand experience with some up and coming titles.

Here are all the games that will be playable at the event…

While Square Enix hasn’t officially announced a worldwide release date for the DS game Dragon Quest IX, it’s probably coming soon. Square Enix just trademarked the game’s name in Europe. It is going to be officially known, at least in Europe, as Dragon Quest IX: Sentinel of the Starry Skies.

It’s a pretty good fit. In Japanese it was Dragon Quest IX: Hoshizora no Mamoribito, which losely translates into Dragon Quest IX: Defenders of Starry Sky. So Sentinel of the Starry Skies works. Square Enix didn’t just translate the title into English and trademark it though, it also translated and trademarked it in French, German, Italian and Spanish as well.

It isn’t unheard of that Square Enix did the trademarking in Europe first. In the last few years, it seems like the company has been shooting for near simultaneous releases of its games in North America and Europe…
