He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
So basically Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon 2 is as good as Crisis Core.

Fuurai no Shiren 3 is pretty much a system seller for me, although I did say that about the DS version and I never bought it. But Wii has Fire Emblem too.

How exactly do you get MORE Japanese than Odin Sphere?

Do the animu lolis vomit cherry blossoms out of robots or something?

I don't get it. WTF is wrong with three 9's and an 8? Sounds like a solid, if not good game. For reference what did Dirge of Cerberus get? Why don't you compare it with those.

Vanillaware, original title for the Wii that actually sounds (from the limited info we have) that it might truly take advantage of it, looks like Odin Sphere (i.e. fantastic and doesn't require next-gen tech)
