*gets the brilliant idea of checking japanese twitter to see if the vita is getting talked about... doesn't read japanese so google searches the japanese phrases.... finds out that 5 of the 10 things are baseball related, 1 is yen price related, and no clue on the other 4 but they don't seem vita related*

the japanese seem to really love baseball lol.

 

[nicoga3000]

Are any of the current sales worth jumping on, or will I find retail copies for cheaper?

Debatable, but it certainly looks good ;p

granted I was playing P4G the last few weeks lol

isn't there a free DLC coming for this?

 

[zulux21]

the only sales i recommend are wild arms, patapon, patchwork heroes, and that other p game, as you are a fool if you don't pick them up at their current price if you are in NA and own a vita

don't make me summon excalibur

Anybody know what the 900yen add-on for Soul Sacrifice is in the store? Online Pass, maybe?

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

you should just call it by it's proper name... Booby Warriors, instead of such a long name :/

Spoiler

i mostly call it that because I can't be bothered to remember the japanese name, and in my dream world that is the localized title >.>

If they did localize, I would hope they would try to fit life and hometown in the title somewhere. Anyone who would get the game would get the reference.

Fair enough! The freebies have already been loaded up. I was peaking at the current offerings and saw BlazBlue and Big Sky Infinity. If used/discount retail is the better way to go, that's what I'll do.

From what I've been reading, it's the online pass, yes (there for used purchases!).

Well Konami's Pro Baseball Spirits is out march 20, here's hoping it brings home a strong month of releases with a grand slam! Will be interesting to see how the numbers compare with the psp version year over year too.

Japan is (was?) playing in a world championship baseball game (or something) at that time.

same reason I call it that. Cant be bothered to remember Sen?? Ka??ra Or something lol.

Its just dynasty warriors with huge boobs so people get the idea haha.

I had no idea what that game was about. Watch a youtube video and laughed quite a lot. Funny thing is it actually looks like a pretty fun game.

it is.


wish there was a shot in hell at a localization but as long as they are 16 and in highschool its not happening.....guess they could up them to college and put them at 18+ but i dont see it.

Shame as it would def move a few units

Is it based on an Anime or something? I got the feeling it was. Typical crazy japanese stuff (for the record I tend to like a lot of the crazy japanese storys in there games. They suit the medium more in my eyes)

 

[darkwing]

can't imagine the ruckus if Booby Warriors gets localized

vice versa theres a anime (bad imo but im not a big anime guy) based on the game I believe

I can just imagine the outrage if some 14 yo gets this and mommy catches them in the model mode groping the girl

Japan is (was?) playing in a world championship baseball game (or something) at that time.

They literally just won their game 5-10 minutes ago in 10 innings. They came back to win it. Wish I could have watched it but I don't have the MLB channel on my cable package.

It was almost a 5 hour game where Japan was losing almost the entire game, this was the first game in the second round of the WBC.

Its more that there is a mini game where you grope a woman.

However im sure thats much more evil than all the people you kill.

It is really creepy though. But thats what makes it funny.

New hands-on with Killzone: Mercenary. I don't know if it's new info yet. I'm reading it now.

Edit: Guess there's no new info, but still nice footage in a little interview video on there.

Backlogs are serious bussiness

I still need to finish U13, NFS, Super Monkey Ball, DW Next, NGS1+ and P4G - and that's without counting digital games + psn+

We’ve had a great start to the year with Big Sky Infinity getting over 200,000 downloads (and counting) and as such we wanted to give all our players a big thank you, as well as give even more reason for more people to get the game.

So today we are releasing a free content patch containing a bucket load of completely fresh content as well as a bunch of improvements to the game.

The trailer shows hints at the new mad stuff, and here’s a list to get you right in the mood for space fighting:

3 new bosses – Giant Crab Boss, Meteor Ship Boss and Scrapyard Boss
2 new enemies – Trailer and Fogger
6 new black hole enemies – Vikings, Ninjas, Zombies, Pirates, Ghosts and Chaos
4 new events – Parallel Cascade, Laser Levels, Portals and Minefield

We are continuing to offer Cross-Buy on Big Sky Infinity so getting the game on Vita will get you the PlayStation 3 version for free, and vice versa.

Big Sky Infinity already boasts cloud saving, 4 player local multiplayer on PS3, asynchronous multiplayer on Vita, the ability to compete against friends or world high scores even when offline and randomly generated gameplay so you never play the same game twice – the patch (on-top of all this) is certain to knock your galactic socks off!

You should do this anyway. While the language is a barrier at first, I've found a few websites that will more than clear up any confusion.

I know I would enjoy the game more in english though so if there is any chance of this happening, I would rather wait.

Its not like I have nothing to play right now. Would wait for a quiet period if I did do it.

The problem here is that the entire franchise, from PSO all the way through PSU, has been horribly mismanaged internationally, from content updates being generally late/never coming over at all to just plain neglect (eternal Christmas, anyone?).

I have worse Japanese comprehension than a kindergartner but I can play PSO2 JP with only a few external guides with no issue.

GAF reviews are like NO on it at the moment
but that update looks helluva sweet

PSO2 still isn't confirmed for US vita, correct?

But it is for PC?

I would still rather play it in english. I will eventually play it in japanese if needed. Got RO on the go at the mo and then SS in May. Once im done with those il see.

I purchased RO, but think it's terrible in comparison, even in English.

Obviously I would prefer to play PSO2 in English, but once you are playing, it doesn't make a difference.

I did play a ton of PSU and there were numerous complaints about the Japanese having way more items/content than the US. It's kinda cool being on their servers.

I don't think I'd ever pay for premium on my Japanese account, but I definitely will if it hits the US

really? I picked it up because it was on sale, surprised I overlooked this, liked that no levels are the same lol

Oh I have no doubt PSO2 is way better than RO. But right now im enjoying RO. Theres no need for me to jump straight onto PSO2. I got a load of other games to get through as well and I really don't want to deal with the hastle of mem card swapping (especially with account switching to).

So if I hit a dry spell and it doesn't come come out over here I will play the Japanese version.

edit

I played so much of PSO on dreamcast and while the japanese had it better it never bothered me. We had what we had and I loved what it was.

I picked it up last night after avoiding it due to gaf comments, but I'm quite pleased with the game so far. I like the idea of a difficult procedurally generated shmup with permanent ship upgrades. Much less methodical than your typical shmup, but it's fun seeing how far you can get with each upgrade.

EDIT: Also I like supporting games with cross-buy/cross-save/stereo3D
