How many pages are in that art book? I've always liked Kosuke Fujishima's art, so I imagine there are some pretty works of his there.


The one that comes with the Collector's Edition is 100 pages. The "LE" comes with a "Profiles Book" that I assume is much, much smaller and not hardcover.


I haven't opened my LE yet, but when I picked up the game, the guy told me that someone had ordered both, because he wanted both artbooks. He opened them to check them out, and then turned around and returned the CE, because he said the LE had the better artwork, and he didn't want the figure.

Tales of Xillia CE: I can declare this to be an awesome purchase. Milla is now set upon my TV cabinet with all my other figures, alongside fellow Tales compatriots Kyle, Reala and Judas from Destiny 2 (though they're much shorter by comparison lol). Funny thing is, she's my third tallest figure now, right after Kee Keema and Blanka. The art book is just lovely and the sampler soundtrack gives you a taste of what's to come in-game plus it gives you motivation to buy the full OST (Graces f's music was mediocre by comparison so this is worth getting). This is definitely worth $100, and you get a sexy box to keep everything safe in.

Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN: Despite my not having played a single GG, I'm digging Millia and Potemkin's designs.

DuckTales Remastered: With Tales of Xillia occupying my primary gaming time spot currently, I don't know when I'll be to squeeze this in. But mark my words, I definitely will be playing this; I owe it to the original game and the cartoon series I grew up with. For the curious, only Mrs. Beakley, Fenton, Flintheart and Gyro will be newly voiced since their actors passed away some years ago.

A prototype of DuckTales had a few different elements, including hamburgers, Giger-like aliens, and a goofy translation. Will we see any references to that?

I'm not aware of a prototype version of DuckTales, but it wouldn't surprise me if the guys at WayForward put in something like that.


Courtesy of hardcoregaming101, here are some screenshots of what was originally different. Just to note, the Japanese version of DuckTales also had the crosses removed from the final product, so no comments about the U.S. being sensitive about religious imagery:

*Crosses instead of RIP on the coffins: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/disneynes/Beta%20Comparison%201-1%20beta.png
*Hamburgers instead of ice cream: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/disneynes/Beta%20Comparison%202-1%20beta.png
*Giger-like alien: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/disneynes/Beta%20Comparison%203-1%20beta.png
*Launchpad calling Scrooge "uncle" instead of Mr. McD (though I don't know what Launchpad said in the Japanese dub of the cartoon): http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/disneynes/Beta%20Comparison%204-1%20beta.png
*Different stage names: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/disneynes/Beta%20Comparison%205-1%20beta.png

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: This is probably the best M&L game to date. Excellent innovations and fun combat all around. Amazing soundtrack too. Give this track a listen, it's one of Shimomura's most amazing works to date: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmy506jvI3k

Ducktales! spoiler[a woo oo]


Mean! OMG. That's going to be stuck in my head now. Razz

That is wickedly awesome that Ducktales has a remake. I played the original and yes, that was a rare well thought out game of the era. I'm glad to see Ducktales still has love. Now if only Disney would continue to release episodes on DVD!

This brings up an important question: if a U.S publisher is willing to bring out Senran Kagura, what won't they touch? Potentially objectionable games like Criminal Girls and Monster Monpiece, perhaps? What terrors might the future hold?


Gal Gun, please.

And why not all those games as well? Twisted Evil

Senran Kagura having a T rating makes me think they removed something.

It has been confirmed that nothing has been removed.

The game is really not very explicit. Its just...girls with big boobs, sometimes wearing not-even-particularly-daring bikinis.

ToX CE was definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY worth the $100. Beautiful figure and artbook; the soundtrack CD is so-so (espec compared to the collectors ed soundtrack I imported from Japan.....) but anyways. Also. The costume DLC = yes!!!

Looking forward to spending at least another 100hrs on this game; despite the fact I've spent >250hrs on my Xillia/Xillia 2 import CE's (heh.... oh my gosh, obsessed!)

Man the X button dude is hatin. Senran kagura looks awsome and the anime was great too. I will be getting both and the game isn't too explicit, so it can get a teen rating. It has anime inspired graphics that aren't even that detailed and you don't even get full fledged, uncensored nudity.

When the entire crux SR built itself around was "boobs", then people are going to mention the boobs, especially when the game delights in making the viewer feel like some kind of voyeuristic molester with its lurid and lascivious emphasis on boobs.

XSEED mentioned that this Senran Kagura Burst was possible due to being digital only. They intentionally avoid physical copies.

As far as the rest, I'm tired of countering the b.s. peddled, but everything about it looks like it's a great game. I don't have a 3DS so I can't enjoy it, but I'm sure those who do will

Man, I love Ducktales. It's one of the greatest adventure cartoons out there. The animation is fluid and the visuals and art is really vivid. That ¥42,000,000+ budget(as of 1987 BTW) per episode helps too. It needs a FULL DVD release and in 2015, a BD release containing ALL 100 episodes.
