Dream C Club looks pretty good just to bad it has to be Xbox 360. If it was on PS3 I would import it without knowing Japanese since the chances a game like this will come to America are well 0.00000000%. It's all about 1st person shooter games in America.*sarcastic remark* Oh and Arcana Heart 2 please come to America with or without loading times.


The home port of AH2 was a total disaster: issues included pixelated sprites and heavy slowdown throughout gameplay that makes the game nearly unplayable.

Examu knew all this and their official response was that it wasn't really a problem. From the looks of the situation, they wanted to reap the double reward of

a) selling a console version of their game
b) still raking in cash from the hardcore arcade crowd who can't practice on their inadequate home version of the game.

The "protect our arcade money" theory is further corroborated by the fact that Examu released an out-of-date version of the game, on top of it being broken in all those other ways.

Unless Atlus were to do a serious fix, you probably don't want it, and you probably shouldn't support people with such contempt for their customers in the first place (but then people do love haruhi oh hoho). Of course, in a final bit of irony, the game runs just fine on an emulator. If you have the PC for it, that's your only option.


Well if you look at my avatar picture you can see that I do play Playstation 2 games with major bugs in the game. Of course my character on my avatar is an rpg character and not from a fighting game also not a lag issue. Plus this game from my avatar has so much grammar issues in the text and wrong spelling but I still played through it anyways. And yes as you can also probably tell I am also a Haruhi fan. I never support emulators.

I just have one comment to say about this article, on the part "the same aren't-we-ironic contingent that extols the virtues of Fist of the North Star"

While fans certainly can make comedic references to the over-the-top brutality of it, I'd say most of the fans actually do respect it and it's story.

I think this "aren't-we-ironic" explanation of looking at lighthearted references to Fist of the North Star is way too postmodern, and just BS really. Smile
