I can only hope that Bandai Games would release this (or any other EVA game) over here. I'm tired of only having Gundam games to turn to get my piloting a giant robot fix.

EDIT: I also want them to release this RahXephon game here.

Expect this game reach extremely high prices at import shops if they don't release it here. I went online and saw the N64 Evangelion game being sold for $200.

Eva is one of the most popular animes ever made (as far as I know), and it's doubtful they'll release it here, so what do you think the odds are that your average mech game (based on an anime) will be released here.

WOOOOOO!!!! EVANGELION YEAH! WOO HOOOO!! Way to go, Hideaki Anno!!! NGE is one of the greatest shows EVER! I'm sure the game kicks some major "angel" booty, too!
Gainax (are they even involved with the game?) and Hideaki, keep up the good work!

There is a sim where you try to make Rei happy. I have no idea how you can possibly make her "happy." Neutral My friend has it but I don't know what it's called. Gomen!

ooohhh fill in the blank! Would the first word be... pilot, the second would be Evangelion and the last might be... save the world?

Edited to have something on the topic
http://www.the-magicbox.com/game102303h.htm has some screenshots of the game, the dating game is called Neon Genesis Evangelion: Iron Maiden 2nd and a review can be found here http://www.freetype.net/reviews/gamesrev/00,0001127,20030525.html[/url]
