Oooooooh.

Meh... I think it's pretty cheesy. "Hey she's a lady! And it's during the revolution! Lady Liberty!"

I loved Lady Liberty. The subtitle stood out between all the other AC subtitles.

Someone would get drunk if they took a shot everytime a new Hakuoki game got announced.

I find it oddly charming that Chunsoft is publishing the Japanese version of TW2, though they didn't do ANYTHING to translate that box art.

That's because of the merger with Spike. Spike localizes a lot of western games for the Japanese market.

A thought just occurred to me in regards to TW2's Japanese release. I just caught a bit of a trailer, and it still uses the English audio with Japanese subs. Why not just use the original Polish audio?

This makes me so happy.

[Chiaroscuro]

Dammed!

I do not own a 3DS but this edition is beautiful.

3DS is region-locked, right? So even if I get it I will need a Japanese system....

Any chance of such edition to come to US?

Edited: about this Japanese edition, is it exclusive to some store? I can only find the normal edition on amiami.

Edited 2: ok, found it. Exclusive to Square`s Online Shop: http://store.jp.square-enix.com/deta...71?fromsearch=
Guess I do not have to worry about this edition anymore, since I will not be able to get it anyway (at least, at a reasonable price).

[Akito]

That's... just...wow
If the 3DS wasn't region-locked, I would be all over that

[HamPster PamPster]

Put me on the "Wow I love the Bravely Default special edition!" list

I hope NA at least gets the sweet black boxart. So stylish

[Chiaroscuro]

That's... just...wow If the 3DS wasn't region-locked, I would be all over that

I would buy a Japanese 3DS if that edition was easier to buy...

I hope NA at least gets the sweet black boxart. So stylish

I hope they use the same boxart. This is a little too sexy for US audience.

[Akito]

Yeah, sometimes I'm glad I wasn't a bigger nerd lol

[StayDead]

After watching the first 3 episodes of the anime I really wanted to get this, then I realised I had a massive backlogs of dating sims that I haven't even played yet. Woops. One day I'll be as amazing as Katsuragi Keima... One day.

[Galang]

Did not expect this to be so beautiful!

[SatelliteOfLove]

SE's still got it...sometimes.

SE's still got it...sometimes.

Their handheld output has been just fine.

[Takao]

Their handheld output has been just fine.

I'm not sure if I'd call the years it took to get things like Birth By Sleep, Third Birthday, and Type-0 out as "fine", lol.

Development times aside, the games were good.

Guess type my SE games thisand next gen are.

[Eusis]

Development times aside, the games were good.

And they had other games that didn't take unreasonably long either.

The biggest problem as of late with their handheld stuff is how more of it later on got left behind in Japan. That was mainly a DS problem though, the biggest PSP hold out, Type-0, seems to be coming here in some form from what I recall you saying, and they have yet to get the ball rolling on 3DS anyway, and in the US both DS and PSP were badly plagued with piracy anyway. Really hope we see a "return to form" via them putting out the same quality in handheld titles this generation as last, with fewer holdouts by the end.

[muu]

looks fucking awesome. Too bad it's a Square Enix direct-only item @ 12.8K yen...

For those of you that want to play the Japanese 3DS titles, don't forget that the 3DSLL release means a ton of previous j3DS owners are going to be upgrading and likely letting go of their old systems for cheap.

The yen is too strong agains the dollar right now. You can use a deputy service to buy from Square-Enix webshop, but it would not be cheaper. After checked the service I normally use, the grand total should be around US$ 210. (way cheaper than what probably ebay sellers will ask, but still a lot). My Japanese import bill is quite high already, considering pre-orders for my 360 and my Vita. I am not sure if I should get another import console.

Theatrhythm is one of the best games on the system, tbh.

[Gradivus]

Might have to try and get my hands on a copy of that :o

[Takao]

Order SFxT Vita from Capcom's webstore and get the girls:

Ah yeah, Busy Brow Ratchet is back!

[cj_iwakura]

Wow, that SFxT cover doesn't even look like the same game.

[boutdown]

Eye candy.

[Infernal Monkey]

[Zaventem]

I wish the made a different cover.This is already disappointing.Also i read up on the cero Z(Ages 18 and up only) rating in japan and i honestly don't get it.Games like RE and Dark Souls can get the D rating(Ages 17 and up) but Skyrim and Dead Space gets slapped with the Z rating which means they can't even advertise the game.Yeah you can say it's cultural but the to games ive listed are both on par with each other in violence.

http://www.1up.com/news/japan-anti-v...-rating-system

[archnemesis]

Games where you can hurt innocent bystanders e.g. Grand Theft Auto are generally given a Z rating. Are the Resident Evil games as obsessed with gore as Dead Space? I'm not very familiar with the series.

I think the big thing with CERO is dismemberment, which is one of the core mechanics of Dead Space. I don't even think the first one was released in Japan at all (and I'm not finding any evidence that the second one was either).

Resident Evil games have been censored in Japan actually, I know RE4 was changed to remove decapitation.

[Chanser]

[boutdown]

Good, very good.

[Chanser]

[zerokoolpsx]

At least it looks slightly better than RE5 boxart.

[cj_iwakura]

I enjoy RE6's cover.

[Infernal Monkey]

RE6's box is great!

[Jawmuncher]

Ok im pissed.

That RE6 Box Art is LEAGUES better than the damn box art the US and EU got stiffed with (if it's not the steelbook edition).

I need a printout of that or something.
