Haha, that's a pretty good summary. I was disappointed by them stopping the Asian/English releases too. I don't mind the Atelier framerate issues too much, but I can understand why they're an issue.
I think I own a large amount of Koei-Tecmo games, but I started skipping the musou games just because I was never finding the time to play them lol.

Cool. Picking it up on Vita anyway. Dont need to wait for Q4 unless I adore the game and want to replay (lol who has time)

Yesssss. Great summer game, can't wait!
I wonder what the launch plans for Europe are though...
Crap, that is expensive, that's a wait for a sale game if ever I saw one!
Why would you think it wouldn't take much time? It's like a 40+ hour RPG?
There are more 500 different recruitable characters in the game and that means tons of text to be translated. And yes, it's pretty long, somewhere between 50-60 hours. Atlus also has other projects in hand (Valkyria Revolution, Utawarerumono duology, Yakuza Kiwami, Etrian Odyssey 5) so it's reasonable to expect a late release date. I'm hoping for summer but won't be surprised if they announce a fall release date.
OT, sounds like God Wars is delayed again. I'm really hoping that these subsequent delays will eventually make the game better than expected. It's a Kadokawa in house title, only examples out there are Natural Doctrine and Earth Seeker.

Mary Skelter: Nightmares western release confirmed to be uncensored, for those who worry about that kind of thing.
Kresnik258

Not bothered by this kinda stuff, but nice to hear that's happening. If this game could get through without censoring, maybe there is hope for Gun Gun Pixies coming west after all.
OT: Frogger dev has been approved for Vita:

(FYI, this is the team that were working on Upside Down Dimensions, a very cool papercraft-esque game that is apparently still planned for Vita).
And Salt & Sanctuary is being resubmitted for Vita cert in 2 days:

Do you guys know any places that have DOAX3 Asian/English in stock? It's out of stock in my two go-to stores (Play-Asia/Buygame2) and I'm worried I've missed the boat.
Your best bet would be Ebay.

Try Mariio128.

I tweeted them about it, haven't gotten a response yet.
Mariio is eBay right?
I wonder if any of the normal stores will get a restock. I'll snoop around a bit. Thanks for the help.
OT: Why Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash isn't on Vita:

Almost 9PM right now in Malaysia too. But the best way to contact them in my experience is through email.
I've ordered 4 times from them myself, btw, and while I had to wait quite a bit for my last order to ship, all went great.

They tweeted me back, thanks. It's $59 so I'm gonna have to think about it lol, that's a lot steeper than I expected.

I feel like Heavy Arm definitely have gotten increasingly aware that they are one of the few options people have to get some desirably Vita games. I have the impression that their online, international business has exploded over the past year too, so it would make sense from a business point of view to take advantage of that. At the same time dealing with them has been more pleasant to me so far than dealing with Play-Asia for example. I've never tried that Mario eBay vendor, btw, they might be great.
Anyone else noticed something really strange is going on with PSN ratings for games? Releases that I know for a fact had thousands of ratings have been knocked down to a few hundred (or even a few dozen) with the scores going from the generic "I bought this, so it can't be bad 5/5" to a mixed 3/5.
Compare the Google cache for Yu-Gi-Oh! Tagforce Special to its current version.
(I noticed this because I found out Konami is removing Yu-Gi-Oh! Tagforce 6 from Japanese PSN at the end of this month and saw far fewer ratings than I remembered it having. Didn't use it for the screenshots because the cache doesn't look nice.)

He has his own shop too (www.mariio128.com), he taped his business card to my SRWV order
It does seem to be listed there for $34.99, not sure about postage.

I have to say I love the english packaging most versions from Singapore/Malaysia have to offer. Also many games have no rating stuff whatsoever. Total clean box arts. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 for example, the Hongkong version, Mario128 and Play-Asia are selling, is mostly in chinese (with a rating logo aswell).
If you don't care for that stuff there are certanly cheapier solutions out there besides Heavy Arm Store. Mario128 is great.

I literally asked the same thing a short while ago. Mariio128 was one of the suggestion, and it went great. Good price via eBay and shocked at how fast I got it compared to what I was expecting.
Pretty sure I paid $45 shipped for my copy, but looks like his eBay lot is out of stock now. (Oh, looks like his site might be cheaper? Even better.)
Summon Night 6 has been delayed to May 23rd. Will also come with an unannounced preorder bonus.

I mean, I was expecting another delay but May is quite far away. And there's now a very real chance my Royal Mail "pay us" notice will arrive while I'm not home and while I might be able to get a neighbour to take in a package they're not going to be able to pay customs on my behalf because Royal Mail will shove a slip through the door and that will be that. I wonder how long they hold them. I might have to contact the post office in advance.
Argh, now I get to spend months fretting over this

Where did you order the game from? Certain sites mark down your orders so that you won't have to pay customs.
Damn, no God Wars, no Summon Night, no Akiba's Beat, April is going to be one boring month. I want to say "yay, more time to focus on Persona 5" but I'll probably be done with it in just of couple of days.
At least May has Operation Babel and Mary Skelter.
These delays will make localization companies reconsider this new trend of "announce localization same time with initial reveal" thing. Both God Wars and Akiba's Beat have been delayed multiple times and they're making XSEED and NISA's job harder.
I ordered the WE from Gaijinworks during the preorder period. Vic doesn't mark stuff down.

wait, is this site legit?
Anyone have good experience with them previously? Prices aren't half bad for some of the Eng. Asian games...
Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds launches May 16 in North America, May 19 in Europe.
I got several games from that seller in the past, but it was through his/her eBay store.

Mary Skelter isn't releasing in May. Current placeholder date is in September.
Yikes :/. It's a shame we didn't get to know in advance that VGP would be selling some.
May 19th for Hakuouki, June 6th for Operation Babel and then there are placeholders for Period Cube and Utawarerumono. So many games~.
And May for Summon Night 6. And June for Cladun Returns and Tokyo Xanadu. Operation Babel is May/June as well, IIRC.
My last post just a little bit higher up on this page.
Oops, wrote July instead of June and managed to forget SN6. Got to wait until Q4 for TX because I want the ps4 version D:.

Wonder what the hell is going on with God Wars, delayed so much.
Hakuouki is cool, can't wait to finally try it out.

Period: Cube is listed for the 28th, but I dunno if that's just a placeholder.
For games with confirmed release dates? That game doesn't have one.

Yep, same with all the other LEs they currently have up at the moment. I would honestly expect LEs to remain exclusive to them from now on, guess they didn't like how Yomawari, Psycho Pass and Grand Kingdom panned out as those were the last non exclusives they did.
Ugh, would I dare let myself get hit by brokerage fees from UPS? *sighs*
Videogame Plus save me.
This is so weird , and also so bad , this game doesnt deserve to have 1 star
