Square has certainly been stingy with the info on their upcoming PS2 efforts. The Bouncer, one of the earliest public PS2 projects, barely had any exposure at all, and the exposure that that Japanese version of Driving Emotion Type-S got was less than encouraging. Many sites (including *ahem* ours) bashed the gorgeous, but troubled, racer as being unworthy of the Square name. The good news is the US version has been tweaked considerably to be more fun. What's more, you'll be able to snag a copy and race your brains out come January 30th.

The Bouncer, on the other hand, will take a little bit longer. March will mark its US release, and the fusion of a deep story and beat-em-up gameplay. In all, Square EA pres Jun Iwasaki couldn't be happier.

"We are very excited to bring to market The Bouncer and Driving Emotion Type-S for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Our development team has set extremely high benchmarks for itself resulting in the delivery of games that will raise the industry's bar in the areas of graphics and gameplay. Whether consumers want a high-speed driving or action role playing experience, they will be blown away with these two titles."

There you have it. The Bouncer and Type-S are finally coming, and coming soon.
