I wouldn't say that one is more anime-like than the other. It's just the difference 2-3 decades of evolution in art style makes. If you wanted to say it looks more modern, then that makes more sense. |

Hm, MuraMasa almost makes me wish I had a Wii. However, I'm not willing to shell out $200 just for that and Smash (never really liked Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or any other 'Nintendo' games for that matter).
Star Ocean 4 coming over to the PS3 is no surprise. After seeing Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia (and probably more) make their way to the PS3 after being touted as 360 'exclusives' I figured it'd end up on the best system out there in due time (especially given where it started). I wonder how much these timed exclusives really help at this point. I imagine there must be more people out there like me that either 1) wait for the PS3 release or, if that doesn't come, 2) doesn't buy the game for the sexbox anyway till it hits gutter prices in the used department. I mean after buying some of these 'exclusives' (Tales of Vesperia, Bioshock) I'm a bit cautious about purchasing 360 titles (more in the JRPG department than anything), especially given that their PS3 release tends to be upgraded. What I find hilarious though is it appears that the team developing ToV used the money M$ gave them for its timed exclusivity to help fund the PS3 development (which had better see a North American release!). Now I just wonder when Star Ocean 4 will be hitting NA shelves. I would prefer not to import. Nier seems interesting enough. I really hope they don't have a hermaphrodite in there just to say 'hey, look at me, we're being different!" like I felt Shangri-la did with transvestites. I'll be keeping my eye on it though. Wow, I had completely forgotten about Afrika till you mentioned it. I have no interest in the game myself, but it's just one of those games that I can put under the 'unique' column for the PS3. Granted that Pokemon game pretty much did the same....but with pokemon. |

Muramasa is definitely worth the price of admission and as Vanillaware is a smaller developer they should be rewarded for their efforts. Makes me wonder what kind of theme they'll do next.
As for TvC, if the new characters are in fact real then it baffles me that Capcom didn't stick in Nero or Dante from DMC as they would have been perfect for that kind of game. |

Its my (very unscientific) understanding that hermaphroditism is a subset of intersexuality suggesting a particular physical abnormality. In this case the word hermaphodism would be appropriate? I think its cool we are getting a futanari character in mainstream videogaming |

I just hope they don't make her a playable character, because staring at that thong for the whole game would make me extremely uncomfortable. |

In regards to Sky Crawlers, at the very least I hope they get the same English voice actors who worked on the dub of the movie, for consistency's sake. Then again, I haven't seen the dub, so heck, maybe they'd be better off not doing that.

Article writer should've looked around a bit more before posting this. "Like other Japanese PlayStation 3 games, it's region-free, and that should please fans who don't want to wait for its likely North American release."
Been confirmed to have a feb release date in US as well, same day if i recall correctly. No point in importing..unless you wanna spend MORE money. |

I was planning to get Muramasa DAY 1, but with a shortage of funds and after hearing the "lukewarm" gameplay impressions, I thought I'd hold back and wait for a price drop.
I had heard of Nier, but this article was the first I really read up on the game. Sounds interesting! As for TvC, not the best selection IMO, but I'm happy with the characters. The more the merrier! It seems appropriate when you think about it. Capcom's 2 most popular franchises, Street Fighter and Megaman, now have 3 characters each. And Tatsunoko's 2 most popular franchises Yatterman and Gatchaman have 3 characters each. I don't know exactly how it works but I'm sure Capcom had to pay a lot for licensing issues. Not just in America but ALL of Europe (or at least a lot of the big companies) So I think it's possible they just couldn't afford to bring a new franchise into the mix aside from Tekkaman Blade. With Ai-chan I just couldn't understand her complete absence in the first place. I mean not playable is one thing, but she doesn't appear ANYWHERE in the game. As I saw someone else put it, it's like Having James of Team Rocket without Jesse. It's just... not right. |

Sonic: To quote Eric Cartman to some degree, "Oh boy Super Fail is at it again", because that's all I can say. The hordes of 13 year old Sonic fanbois will cry with praise at yet another Sonic game which will probably fail to churn out decent sales and may or may not add yet another cookie cutter woodland idiot to join Sonic's spazzy adventure to stop the fat doctor. Piles of lame fanart will follow as will more hopeless players expecting something amazing. Seriously Sega, put the axe in the rodent already. I'm sorry to be so negative and spiteful, but there is no longer anything to like about Sonic's games. It's been that way for years now.
Nier: What is that supposed to be in the screenshot? It looks like someone tried to draw Gojira and then gave up halfway lol Star Ocean LH I: Oh now they decide to release the game with both audio tracks. Believe me, a lot of people would have swapped instantly to Japanese acting considering the average acting of the current version. Well, I'm sure some importers who felt gypped due to Star Ocean LH's crummy English dub will probably get this one before it comes here. I wonder if they'll make Welch playable again (not likely I know) Muramasa: Hey now, Odin Sphere was laggy but its story was beautifully dramatic, moreso than Muramasa. Believe me, this latest creation of Vanillaware may be a visual masterpiece, but that really isn't an excuse to simplify the story to such a weak level. I was expecting some decent drama. I'm kind of surprised they decided to drop any notion of English acting. But most people did say they preferred the English dub of Odin Sphere (it was acted better, due to the archaic way of speaking). Maybe leaving it in Japanese was so it could keep the feel of an original movie or something. Persona PSP: Definitlely something for us fans who wanted the original game without all the silly alterations they made.
You have no idea. The Americanized Persona had some pretty good English acting, despite it was just battle cries. Philemon sounded pretty good in English, whoever his actor was : ) Last edited by belvadeer on Sun Dec 18, 2011 6:56 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It's official: Sony fanboys continue to rationalize their Nintendo hatred. Meanwhile, the people who don't care are now enjoying Murasama and Scribblenauts. |

Lots of good and bad things about this:
Good: Muramasa - Very nice sidescroller, rented it this saturday, I don't think it's worth a buy but I can't think of anything more worthy of a rental for the wii. Beautiful graphics, even if they repeat a fair amount, decent story, check it out if you have a wii. Persona PSP - I've always really wanted to try this, might make dusting my PSP off worthwhile. Nier - Shots look awesome, might be worth getting. Bad: KATAMARI FOREVER ONLY FOR PS3? RAAAAAAGE Afrika - Not exactly bad, but wasn't this game supposed to come out years ago? I think I remember it being used as a tech demo for ps3. |

How is the name "Project Needlemouse" an "on the other hand" to bringing Sonic back to his roots? Needlemouse was the original codename for Sonic the Hedgehog when it was originally in development. That's as "back to his roots" as it gets. Whether it'll be terrible or not is another matter altogether. We shall see... |
