They both suck.

You are obviously blind and/or completely tasteless.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Naaaahhhh what's happened to the awesome boxart with the cow :-(

 

[Solid]

 

[u_neek]

Which one is the real one?

Out today btw

 

[Guenther]

Looks like the right one is the real one.

 

[Vashu]

Right one it is! And I have to say.. Damn that Monster Hunter boxart is AWESOME!!! Can't wait for... May.... ¬_¬

 

[ram]

thats the real one.

and btw. wie palis get monster hunter with all the extra stuff from monster hunter g! yeah

 

[Vashu]

wie palis get monster hunter with all the extra stuff from monster hunter g!

Wow, wait.. Are you sure??!! Can you give me any official confirmation on that, and what exactly the additions are? Of course, this could be the reason for the delay... If it's true, it makes sense of course... The beta-test ended a long time ago, and the game was set to come out soon after that. Suddenly we had that delay until may and if that was the reason, then.... HURRAY!!

But, still need confirmation on that then..

 

[ram]

it was said by the german playstation magazine "playzone" during a video preview. they said, weg got all the extra additions from monster hunter g (new monsters, new skins, levels, weapons etc).

 

[Vashu]

Well... I hope so.... That would rock!

 

[Solid]

Don't forget Shadow Hearts Covenant PAL on March 11

Don't forget Shadow Hearts Covenant PAL on March 11

I'm currently playing the PAL version - It's called Shadow Hearts II on the title screen though.. weird.

I'd read that it was released early, it is released earlier than the Japanese Director's Cut.

And yeah, Midway had only changed the name in the package, but not in the game. US version is also the same.

 

[Radius]

Danger, crappy games incoming...

On a related note, Grafitti Kingdom is getting a PAL release this year.

 

[BuddyC]

Hahahaha....huh?

You guys get Michigan, no fair.

 

[Meier]

Yeah I totally wish Michigan would come here. Lucky.

 

[john tv]

It's probably been said a million times (possibly in this thread, even), but I'd just like to point out that you guys have the UGLIEST ratings icons in the history of the world. Can't somebody make a few phone calls and do something about it? Every single package is ruined by that shit.

True! Somebody should start af petition and send it to PEGI!

Oh, and woohoo for Michigan! And Soccer Life sounds fun...

More from 505 Gamestreet:

Zoo Keeper?!

Zoo is the previous version of Zoo Keeper. It was released as a budget PS2 title in Japan a couple years ago. (It's also available on GBA.)

 

[neopokekun]

In other words more Simple 2000 games to Europe.

About time! I was wondering if these would ever be released outside of Japan.

So, what's word on an American release?

 

[Solid]

 

[Shiggy]

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Oh man! These guys remind me of boxart and ads from the 16-bit days.

 

[Vashu]

[Overreaction-mode]WTH??!! Radius, are you insane??!! This game:

Is anything BUT crappy!!!! You ever even heard of Bujingai??!?! My god, what is the world coming to??!!

And about those Simple 2000 games, those are quite fun at times... But damn man, though Bujingai comes as a budget-title, it doesn't automatically mean it's shit! Djeez... [/Overreaction-mode]

On a more serious note: It's a good game, and definitely worth a look imo. If you are into games like Dynasty Warriors and DMC I'm sure you could like this one.

More Japanese hotness coming to Europe from 505 GameStreet:

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Holy shit, where'd 505 GameStreet come from? They already fucking rock. But Harvest Fishing.. what?

 

[Merlin]

What's Graffiti Kingdom??

 

[nubbe]

Must buy all 505 games…

 

[u_neek]

Holy shit, where'd 505 GameStreet come from? They already fucking rock. But Harvest Fishing.. what?

I love small companies like 505 Gamestreet - but where the hell can I buy their games?

Harvest Fishing:

In the enchanted and mervellous village of Water Drop there is friendly family that lives in a nice small house.

One day, during the summer holydays, I decided to start a journey, a journey to search for the legendary King river.
What I discover lately is that my sister started the same journey, my father did…and my mother too.
The long journey of all these characters has now started...

FEATURES
- Easy-to-pick Gameplay. - Explore relaxing enviromens full of details - Take control of the family member which you prefere. - Challenge in several tournaments. The more competiton you won, more the money that can be used to upgrade your equipment - Catch as much as fish as you can, gain experience points and challenge more skilled fishermen!

 

[Louis]

I saw some advertising in a Dutch magazine from 505street , but i've never seen those games in the shops .

 

[ram]

505 gamestreet is italian publisher. their games are distributed by atari in germany. but i never saw one game in shops too. even amazon.de has not such games.

Nice! Now I really want this game. ;__;

 

[Mr Mike]

505 Game Street games can be found in the UK in Gamestation and GAME. Depends on the game, though. Eg. GS stocked Zoo Keeper, but Game didn't. And Game stocked a few of the recent cheapy flight sims but GS didn't. All distributed by Atari across Europe, it seems.

 

[Laurent]

The Resident Evil 4 boxart made me think of an idea I had for the Resident Evil Remake boxard a while ago. I finally took the time to (quickly) create what I had in mind...

Not as hot as the final RE4 PAL one thought, but interesting nonetheless...

 

[Laurent]

Come on, I was wishing for comments...

 

[Radius]

505 is an Italy-only publisher, the UK distribution is done by Codemasters.

 

[Blackcherry]

wtf with that tongue? :lol

 

[Speevy]

I want the DKJB box in this thread. US one is not nearly as good.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Come on, I was wishing for comments...

I think it's amazingly cool. Looks like an intriguing film poster.

 

[Defensor]

Where's his right arm?

 

[Vashu]

Gungrave OD & Bujingai, next month is gonna be awesome again... I still have DMC3 to get my hands on, and really need to finish MGS3 too... What's with all the games comin out these months??!! It's insane!!!

Also, Graffiti Kingdom and Harvest Fishing seem to be titles that need to be in my collection too, just because of their quirkiness... Harvest Fishing resembles the Harvest Moon series a lot! Only, it's about fishin (well, duh!!). Graffiti Kingdom is a game called Magic Pengel in Japan, it's about making doodles (you're a Doodler, don't ask) and using them to explore the world in an RPG-like fashion....

Graffiti Kingdom Info

Some of the features (blatantly copied):

- Customise your characters and select their different characteristics.
- Power up your creatures and change them using the magic of the Graffiti.
- Assume the role of little demons and fight the enemy with their own weapons.
- Capture as many enemies as you can to increase your collection of Graffiti.
- Defeat the powerful boss enemies to face the final epic struggle with the Demon himself!
- Watch over 80 minutes of video sequences recounting the adventures of PIXEL and his friends!

PS: Samurai Western and Guilty Gear Isuka (though the latter had been received pretty badly) will be added to my collection too probably. Heck, 505 (with the help of Codemasters) is turning into the Majesco of Europe! I like it!

Thanks. The fact that they could have used a screenshot artisticly would have been great indeed...

Well, it's actually Codemasters who bargain the distribution contract and then they pass over the Italian rights to 505 while they publish it themselves in UK and France. Makes me wonder how they manage to release TOCA Race Driver games across the whole continent....

 

[u_neek]

Where can you buy these games? - haven't seen them anywhere!

 

[the year 20XX]

Graffiti Kingdom is a game called Magic Pengel in Japan, it's about making doodles (you're a Doodler, don't ask) and using them to explore the world in an RPG-like fashion....

Looks like a sequel to Magic Pengel. The UI is different and the 'doodles' are more 3D-looking and less 'crayon-ish-cel-shaded'.

Ah, I see... Well, either way, it's a good thing.. Right?

As a matter of fact, you are correct. I looked it up just now and this is indd the sequel. Japanese name is Rakugaki Oukoku 2. Too bad though, I really looked forward to Magic Pengel. Now I have to get my hands on the US version of it.

On a side note: Graffiti Kingdom is going to be published in May in both Europa and the United States/Canada.
