Woot, go Fate/stay night! I could make an attempt to get the game, but that probably requires me to mod my PS2 in order to play it.

Doesn't surprise me that Super Paper Mario came out at Number 1... Seeing how this has been the case for the last two weeks since the release. However, I give this another oh probably 2-3 more weeks then people will get sick of it. Or maybe I'm wrong? Question

7100 yen... isn't that like $65 or so? WAY too much money for a "visual novel", on the PS2 no less.

Not to mention knowledge of moonspeak or a translation. I can't imagine that those types of games would be any fun without knowing what was being said.

That's normal or even low for visual novels, actually. After a quick look at the official site for Fate/stay night, the PC version sold for even higher at 8,800 yen (9,240 yen for the DVD-ROM version).

I have Wii Sports and Wii play. I had so much fun with both. I even had fun with some of the Mii's I made like the following:

Mario and Luigi
Sub-Zero (from Mortal Kombat)
Eric Cartmen (from South Park)
Huey (from Boondocks)
Taki (from Soul Calibur)
Sean Connery
Admiral Ackbar (from Star Wars)
Ms. Chuby (made-up by me)
Cloud (from Final Fantasy)
Bill Cosby
Peach (from Mario)
Scorpion (from Mortal Kombat)
Leon (from Resident Evil 4)
Eminem

...I'll list later. But I can PM anybody who has a Wii who wants to knwo how to make the Mii images I made. Smile


However, I think if Wii Sports 2 came out, it should also include newer sports like basketball, hockey, and racing. Next time I play with a Mii in Wii Sport's baseball, I'll do Dan and mabey Marth from Fire Emblem.

LOL, I made Miis for the main cast of Haruhi Suzumiya, and stuff.

The Nodame game is being shipped to me as we speak; I'm mostly interested in the rhythm game aspect (I don't read Japanese nearly well enough to play the story mode).

I picked up the Nodame Cantabile game on a whim last week. If you have any musical training at all, or even just a decent sense of rhythm, you can finish the story mode in a couple hours.

The side games include a whack-a-snake game, a Chinese restaurant chef game, a "Clean Nodame's Apartment" game ("Don't die," advises Chiaki), and a low-rent version of Taiko no Tatsujin. I can't wait for the real DS port of that last...

Oh, and since Phoenix Wright isn't the main character of Gyakuten Saiban 4, perhaps we should start calling it just the "Ace Attorney series."

It's just the originally Final Fantasy gamethat now has new graphics and supports wide screen. If ya played the original then your not missing much, if you haven't I am not sure I would buy it. It's more of a trip down memory lane, and for people who don't hack their PSP to play roms. It's suppose to be out later in June this year, but who knows if IGN has their release date schedule up to date.
