I get the purpose. The game wants you to time actions in advance rather than in the moment. I really abhor that sort of thing.

It kind of reminds me of Furi. Every single action in that game was incredibly responsive except for the dodge.

Ok, I've played the demo. It's not plain bad, but I'm not sure I'll open it either...
The game barely runs at 30fps and I found it more beautiful in the teaser (it's actually pretty cheap 3D). It's also floaty and labyrinthy. The game is playable but the demo hasn't convinced me :x

Do we know if Merge Games will publish a non-signature edition of the VIta version like they typically do with PS4 releases?
Click to expand...

I doubt it, but I don't think they've announced anything either way.

I've already bought the Slain Signature version just because I assumed it wasn't coming, would be pretty miffed if I could've just got a normal version :(

Looks like they're at least considering it.

@SigEditionGames would love standard release.

Bleh, I wish they'd announce this stuff before time. I've already pre-ordered the Signature Edition since they said stock was nearly out, then they placed a new order and got more stock. And now they're considering a standard version.

I don't want the extra crap, just the game.

Not quite sure how this game is seen favourably or how it even got a rare physical version.

I'm OT now, sorry. Just wanted to let people know about Blue Rider.

Thanks for sharing. It's so easy to get caught up in the hype of these things that we overlook the actual game underneigh.

The document shows Axiom Verge Wii U will get a physical NTSC release Q2. What retailer can I preorder it at? I don't see any info about an NTSC release.

Edit: I also see Syberia 3 listed as 4/25 on Switch. Is that retailer exclusive anywhere and are Preorders up?

Preorders aren't up for Axiom Verge at traditional retailers yet. Will probably start popping up in the next couple weeks.

Syberia 3 is a new listing that was picked up at VideoGamesPlus. It should just be a matter of time before other retailers start posting their own product page for the game.

Thanks for the heads up. Is Axiom Verge up anywhere yet?

Edit: I guess VGP took down Syberia 3 for Switch? I'm not seeing it now. Guess I'll keep an eye out for preorders of both to go up.

Any updates on Adr1ft and Don't Starve physical copies for PS4? I have them both pre-ordered from VGP since they first listed back in October.

I see Don't Starve is up on Amazon, but about $15 more expensive than VGP, but Don't Starve is also not listed on VGP site any longer.

Adr1ft was cancelled (though was never officially announced in the first place) and Don't Starve still only has a release window rather than a specific date.

Arrived today from Play-Asia. Wasn't expecting a box, not quite sure what's inside. The colour on the cover really pops, shame the photo doesn't represent it strongly. Love it!

I don't believe we've gotten worldwide launch details for the Patapon/Locoroco ports yet but looking at PaRappa: Remastered it's not likely we'll get a physical release in North America.

Was in GameStop today and noticed a new game on the shelf, Industry Giant II. Checked Amazon and it seems that they aren't selling it, so I'm guessing it's a GameStop exclusive.

Play-Asia now have Parappa the Rapper PS4 up for pre-order. Asia version only, English voices, English subtitles. Amazon Japan have the Japanese print. Wish I knew if it were English too, I imagine it could work out cheaper.

Amazon was taking preorders for it with the 20% Prime discount up until last week but now it's showing as not pre-orderable. According to Gamefly, the release was pushed back to 3/28, so maybe Gamestop got a narrow exclusivity window before it rolled out to other retailers.

Syberia 3 is coming for Switch, but per the official Facebook rep, it will be after the 04/25 releases of the Xbox One and PS4 physical versions by several months.

I thought I had read the Japanese version included English on Heavy Arm's Twitter but I must have mistaken it for the Asian release. Don't see anything looking at their feed.

Just out of curiosity, has there ever been a non-English version of this game? I remember having the JP import on PS1 and it was fully in English.

What are the chances that this'll make it out to the US (in physical) after the fact? Wasn't Gravity Rush announced at the last minute or should I jump in on this ASAP?

There's always a chance someone like Gamestop, Amazon or Sony themselves could produce physical copies before/after the game's release. There are plenty of retailers offering the import too so you should have a decent amount of time before the game gets tricky to purchase (if it ever does).

Um...not trying to be a jinx, but Play-Asia just sold out of their Parappa English preorders. Should I be worried?

Who else carried the English version? I tried nin-nin game but they only seem to have the Japanese version. NCSX doesn't have a listing yet, at least I can't find one.

And eBay already has the prices at double, but no idea which version is being sold.

I do hope you're right that they'll get a refill.

HeavyArm U-Store is last I checked. Never ordered from them myself but have heard good things from folk in the Vita thread about the store.

The game itself doesn't really, no, although Playism's press release claims this release supports Japanese, English, German, Russian, French, Italian and Spanish.

It's arguably better than iam8bit's packaged version, and only ¥3480 on amazon.co.jp -- $31. play-asia also has it up for preorder now.

As long as it exists, it's already better than iam8bit's release. No argument about it, lol.

Heh. I never saw it in person, but Hyper Light Drifter's seemed pretty slick. Then again... wait, it's not even a physical release! It's collectible stuff with a download code. Never mind, ha ha.
