I wonder if The Day of Sagittarius will be included as an omake.

Yay for the PSP being region free!

Boo for not knowing Japanese!

They'd probably sell more copies also seeing as how the DS outsells every system. In Japan Nintendo sells about 120K DS a week whereas the next four system (Wii, PSP, PS2, PS3) sales combined just barely beat that number.

Not only that I already have a DS, and don't have plans to pick up a PSP until maybe after that redesign comes out.

I don't own a PSP. I was planning to someday, but this game would sell better if it was on the DS. I guess that Haruhi-ist will break down and start buying PSP and the game. Seriously, why do I think Sony somewhat payed them to do that?

Well, S#ny's systems do offer more computing power, but it's also an obvious test of otaku devotion.

A few months ago, it was "Are you geek enough to buy a PS3 just to play the latest Gundam game?" to which Japan answered the call eminently.

Now it's "Are you geek enough to buy a PSP just to play a Haruhi Suzumiya game?"

That game (crossfire) doesn't warrant anyone paying over $500 for a system. There are better version of that game for the Dreamcast....although I am excited about Dynasty Gundam. Thank goodness that is coming out of 360 otherwise I'd actually have to buy a PS3. I also get that Sony system have more power, there also more expensive with less games and horrid load times, (PSP) although the PS marketplace does have some nice things going for it. I just don't know if it will ever catch up to the community of Live.

I would so buy the game if it was came to Canada and was available on the DS. Somehow I can picture this game in the style of Elite Beat Agents with the gang dancing to Hare Hare Yukai. That, would rock!

Err, what? Gundam Musou only caused a small bump in weekly PS3 sales for about 2-3 weeks until it settled back down into the low to mid teens. The PS3 hasn't sold over 10k per week for almost a month now.

Exactly, that small bump is a sign that otakus were willing to jump on a major release and inflate sales for a couple of weeks. That's my whole point.

Still every Gundam game that has been released on the PS3 has become the best seller of the week, Japan just loves their UC gundam games. Hell crossfire was the top seller at launch, which tells you something about games available.

Well if it was like Elite Beat Agents (aka Ouendan in Japan) then you could just import it and play it on your DS seeing as how there isn't any region coding for games.

As a side note, I'm willing to bet "Adventure game" means "visual novel".

EDIT: Horribly butchered babel fish translation:
Quote:
In the popularity series where also TV animation conversion is done, from point of view of boy high school student "キョン", ドタバタof the girl "cool shrine ハルヒ" who seeks strange occurrence everyday life keeps being drawn in 2006. As for the game when it becomes those of adventure type, with thing, the prayer while to converse the character which appears in the world "of the cool shrine ハルヒ" series, keeps making the story advance.

I only wish there were even a small sliver of a chance that this would be released here. Sad

Well if your a true Otaku you'll import it, or something like that. There aren't any region coding on games for the PSP right? Just on the movies, that aren't being released anymore.

Probably so, with exciting game play like turn the page with the X button. I feel that anime fans really do get the short end of the stick sometimes.
