I can't japanese halp.
(It seems that the latest version of RPG Maker has been announced, for both the DS (RPG Maker DS +) and for the PC (RPG Maker VX Ace).
I guess battle backgrounds are back...? And RGSS3 added?
Release date set for 2011-12-15, I am guessing. (in Japan)
EDIT:
"Even 描Kenaku paintings can be made by simply combining the original character parts [graphic Maker Face, as well as incorporating many useful features to aid the production of RPG! The elements of enhancements for people who have knowledge of the program (editing the script) is also easier to edit than "RGSS3" has evolved into."
"Event commands, we subjected the new and improved features various configuration options. The newly added, for example, by utilizing a feature called, became popular in RPG classic "provocation" and "cover" can be achieved easily and also directed."
"HP gauge, gauge, following the third in the MP gauge "TP gauge" has been implemented. We can store the TP increased by actions in combat, fires of the reversal from a mortal! And allowing production."

Translating that second link...
"The previous RPGmaker VX's event command system was improved with the addition and changing of some command options. Original character graphics can be made just by combining parts, and functionality has been enhanced for game production. RPGmaker ACE is the latest RPGmaker product for Windows."
"Feature 1 - Ability to create new characters, improved scripts"
"By combining pictures and drawings, original character's 'chibi charasets' and 'facesets' can be created, in addition to many new features that aid in RPG production! And, for experts at the program, it is now easier to edit and extend RGSS scripts."
"Feature 2 - Base program additions and improvements"
"Various event commands and function options have been changed and improved. For example, with these improved functions, famous classic RPG commands like "Provoke" and "Cover" can be implemented."
"Feature 3 - Interesting battle system addition 'Mortality System'"
"In addition to the HP gauge and MP gauge, a new TP can be added. By performing actions in combat, the TP gauge increases, and then you can perform a Mortal Reversal! It enables such things."
So uh, it looks like they added a character maker, Cover/Provoke, and supers. This is definitely what was wrong with VX.

It's better than nothing, I guess. We'll see when more details are revealed, or when it comes out in Japan.
author=tpasmallFrom what I've read it will be an add-on.
Will this be an add-on to VX or a whole new editor?

Enterbrain doesn't strike me as the sort to make add-ons. Releasing a full-priced, near identical version of an older program with a few extra features tacked on is more in line with what I'd expect from them.

Still, I can't help being excited about this! New PC RPG Maker! Wheeeee!

I really hope they build in things like a Steal command. The less scripting we need, the better.

This sounds like the pro system that game maker uses almost... I'm not sure if I am going to like this, but at least it will not have the same color problem that Rm2k3 had when it was first translated.

I really hope they don't. The more easily-scriptable features they throw in, the more annoying they are to remove if you don't want them.

Ring ring ring ring ring banana phone.
Compared to RM2K VALUE! (aka RM2K v1.51), there is nothing revolutionary being added onto RMVX.
In short:
SaileriusThe more event commands they remove, the more annoying they are to re-implement via scripts. Either way, we the consumers lose.

I think it will be more like when RM2K was upgraded to 2K3. Some notable changes, but still using the VX format. From what I gathered on the RRR site, it's going to cost a lot more than what the VX now costs (and possibly more), at about $175 USD. Whether they actually lower that cost or not once it gets released in English is beyond me, but I have a feeling it's going to be high.
I agree with an above poster. While some of the features seem nice, to warrant such a high cost, they had better address the tileset limitation. Even if they were to add an additional 5 sheets (for a total of 10, with 2 of them auto tiles) that'd be a heck of a lot better than what we have. Sure we have SwapXT, but that tends to get a bit exhausting at times.
Some of the features that were mentioned were the inclusion of a sort of facemaker and sprite editor of sorts to change and alter sprites and faces, and a few adjustments to the database. Also there's mention that it will be using RGSS3, another reason they had better address the tile limitation because if they stay with the same 5 tileset sheets, and implement new scripting options, chances are SwapXT would become void until it's been fixed.
Basically what it comes down to is if the cost is worth the upgrade, and so far there has been very limited information in regards to what changes (if any) have been made to the map editor.
Edit:
So while RPG Maker VX Ace is coming out, so apparently is RPG Maker Plus:
http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=162453
It's a tiny blurb, but this is what it states:
- coming from Enterbrain
- create stories set in modern times
- includes locations like schools
- includes timelines during the Warring States or Sengoku era
- also includes sci-fi universe, complete with probing table
- combine all these elements together, if you like
- due out Dec. 15th in Japan
Hopefully they'll give ACE a modern/sci fi setting as well.

makes me expect an increase in Bleach fangames for some reason
EDIT: Seriously, look at the page and tell me no one else could expect the same thing

EDIT 2: Will probably try out Ace at the least.. don't feel like buying a whole new DS just for an RPG Maker.. then again, my birthday is coming up and I could get lucky :p
then again, I don't think the DSi has gameboy compatibility.. but I do still have my SP and 1st Gen DS to play those off of.. so many decisions

Actually, that feels more like inyuyasha more, but I see what you mean. What the hell is this future probing stuff?

Sorry, meant DS Plus. I never did try the first one, either. Something about typing up an RPG Maker game on a handheld, without access to a keyboard seems rough.
I think it will be more like when RM2K was upgraded to 2K3. Some notable changes, but still using the VX format.The difference here is that RM2K3 actually addressed some of RM2K's key concerns, such as MP3 support (which was until then unofficially "supported" through 3rd-party hacks), more concurrent pictures on-screen (easier to make spiffy CMS/CBS!), calling Common Events from battle (cuts down on code repetition for better organization and design), and generally increasing the limit on database-related information.
Enterbrain then outdid themselves by back-porting some of RM2K3's best added functionality to RM2K, resulting in RM2K! VALUE and having the best of both worlds.
At least as far as I've seen and expect, RMVX Ace does nothing like that.
Also, $175 USD for RMVX Ace? I'm not amused. ಠ_ಠ
