The organizers of E3 sent out a 'sampling of "First Look" products' email this morning, revealing a number of interesting points. Firstly, Atlus is listed as publisher of Magna Carta: Tears of Blood, the popular Korean-originated PS2 RPG that went over surprisingly well in Japan. In addition, Age Of Empires II for DS is confirmed as being published by Majesco and developed by Backbone Entertainment (Death Jr.) Also, Tecmo Classic Arcade is confirmed for unknown platforms, and will include "Tecmo Bowl," "Rygar," "Star Force," "Solomon's Key," "Bomb Jack," "Tecmo Cup," "Pinball Action," "Pleiads," "Senjyo" and "Strato Fighter." Also mentioned from Tecmo are "Trapt" for PlayStation 2, presumably the latest Deception game ("Protect your castle by luring your enemies into your booby-trapped world in this trap-action game"), and Fatal Frame 3.
