The X Button - Unfathomable Horrors

Shmup fans, don't forget to grab Mushihime-sama Futari for the 360. It's an import, but region free. If sales preform well enough (I'm still not sure how they'll figure this out other than high sales), then we can expect to see more Cave's 360 games as import-friendly titles.

The Lufia 2 remake definitely intrigues me, though how Maxim went from a knight clad in full plate mail to a leather-wearing dude is beyond me.

I'd ask the same question myself, sure, but whatever happens to explain that particular fashion sense (or not) probably won't stop me from checking out the remake. On a purely personal (read: egoistical) level I'd prefer to see an improved 2-D port rather than a conversion to 3-D action RPG though. I imagine increased sales are supposed to justify it.

Gemini is also quick to violently remind Shinjiro that she's not such the girl. Then again, I have a hard time imagining Shinjiro being such the guy, since Sakura Wars games rarely push a PG rating in terms of romance.

Also the female mage doesn't exactly look a mage in the new "revamped" version. More like a martial artist/and maybe partially a mage? Admintingly, the newer version does like slightly better, but doesn't really make her look like a mage though.

We recently started purchasing XB360 games prior to a request from a faculty teaching a course study in game development. This is due to the fact that despite some games still being developed outside the XBOX is a US made system. So you have Europe and "indie" developers as well. Since the higher ups don't know much about video games, this is where I come in as well as students and instructors. The goal was to acquire at least 40 titles to start off the semester. Unfortunately, recommendations we received was less than 20. This included games that wouldn't be available until 2010. So we needed more. So I added to that list what I could acquire and of those titles I wanted 'No More Heroes' to be one we should get. But at the time it was exclusive to Wii. So unless there is a faculty member who requests and has a reason why Wii titles are good for a course study then the library won't invest in them. Same for the PS3.

I actually hope she's not a standard mage in the remake. The original Lufia 2 makes a point of introducing Selan as a powerful warrior in a story scene, but when she joins your party, she's really just a magic-user.

I'm still waiting for SQ'ENIX USA to make an official announcement on that Saga remake, so good luck on your wishes, too, buddy.

Also, here's footage of the new Super Street Fighter IV cast. I don't mind Adon now, because he sounds and kinda looks like the Monarch from Venture Bros.

I've been playing nothing but the New Tales of Symphonia game that was released one and a half weeks ago... I can't help feel it should have more advertisement. It's not even mentioned on Nintendo's website that I could find.

I would've imagined the Wii to have the most diverse library among the three competing home systems right now. It has a smaller amount of traditional stuff, but the fact that Nintendo markets to an audience very different from the other two while still paying attention to the regular gaming crowd would mean you can have the largest amount of examples. Though I take it that few people in your class are interested in making stuff like Wii Music.
