NISA lost a sale by putting Badman as a download only. I would have bought the game if it was a regular retail release, but I refuse to buy it now. I hate digital distribution. I will never by anything that is digital only.

I know he said not to get my hopes up, but YESSSSS, another Suikoden (in some form) is most likely coming. I can't wait. I just hope it's not the PSP download of Suikoden 1 & 2 that the Japanese got, mainly because I have a DS and not a PSP.

I'll take Suikoden VI and dreams of Yuber vs. Pesmerga or the return of Viktor and Flik Very Happy

The real Suikdoen series is over. The Tierkries producer pretty much said in an interview that all the games that follow will be set in alternate worlds.

Agarest Senki for the PlayStation 3 has no North American release date yet, but if you really, really want to play Idea Factory's dating-RPG for the PlayStation 3, you can always import an English version from Europe. The game, in which a hero named Leonhart fights combo-heavy battles and sires new heroes by hooking up with various heroines, streets in the United Kingdom on August 21.


Can European PS3 games play on the US PS3? I know one of the big perks for the PS3 is importing from Japan with no problems, but is that also true for Europe?

The Last Remnant wasn't a major success critically or commercially (I was planning to review it here, but I honestly lost interest when the game killed its best character and gave you a mostly identical gameplay replacement). Square Enix might just be moving on without porting the game to the PS3, if remarks by CEO Yoichi Wada are any indication.


Hopefully Square will finally learn its lesson, and STOP releasing JRPGs to a community and a console that doesn't give a damn about them! I surprised they haven't realized that their fanbase either have a PS3, would rather own a PS3 then 360, or doesn't have either and is still hanging on to their PS2. This should have been a PS3 exclusive.

But now that I think about it, I wonder how well Infinite Undiscovery sold compared to Last Remnant?

The Badman game seems like it would have been a natural fit for the DS or DSi.

Curse you, system exclusive releases. I also want the Prinny game for the DS.

It's laid low for months, but Siliconera reports that the 3-D fighter is in development with Dream Factory, the studio that once became a critical darling for Tobal No. 1 and the amazing Tobal 2. Then they cranked out a long chain of disappointing fighters and brawlers, including Ehrgeiz, Crimson Tears, Appleseed EX, and Kakuto Chojin.


Dream Factory didn't make Kakuto Chojin. Yes, people from DF made the game, but they joined up with people from another company to become Dream Publishing. DP's only title was Kakuto Chojin. It's a common mistake. And hey, I liked Ehrgeiz.

And where the hell did this Violence Jack game come from!?!??!?!?! And how the hell did this game get an "E" rating!?!?!?!??! Oh who cares, I am so getting this!!!!!!!

Same here, I'd love to finish Orguss if only it were possible to get the rest of the discs Sad

Oh, and where did that Violence Jack info come from? I can't find anything on it at all. If real, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

a DS adventure game in which Tingle seeks the woman of his dreams


So apparently when you win the game, Tingle loses?

The teaser site for the Squeenix game opened up, and it is indeed "Four Warriors of Light."

Well, Todd is instead being an ass and staight-up lying to us. If you put your cursor over the cover art it brings up a box saying "No, it's not real. I didn't have to tell you that, did I?"

Funny, huh? Ha ha ha ha... No, it wasn't funny.

Now, I can understand if it was April Fools, but having this stupid joke in a random X Button is just being an ass. Todd, I guess you didn't think there would be fans of Go Nagai and Violence Jack over here, huh? Really, that was just a stupid joke and just being an ass to some people. You better save this kind of stuff for April 1 or not ever do it again, man.

Fixed. Thanks!

Come now, wasn't the "E" Rating a dead giveaway?
