"So, uh, guys, our box-art is pretty bad. Like, offensively plain and boring. We should change it around."

"...Let's just flip it by 90 degrees!"

Wasn't this released 6 or 7 years ago?

PS3 owner always get stuck with the creepy covers. Guess I'll just stick it next to Catherine.

Eh? It's a reversible cover, and it's the same for the Xbox 360 version too.

Yep, originally released back in 2006.

Must have been some recent demand for it, as this is a reprint. They've updated the Xbox 360 banner on the box (yet kept the silly 'wow 720p!')

Does Sonic Powered mean that Sonic is pushing the train from behind? ;P

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Do Capcom not publish GTA in Japan anymore?

 

[Hero of Legend]

WOW, just looked it up:

http://www.sonicpowered.co.jp/train/

Is this like Panorama View: Train Edition for 3DS?! :O

Fucking killer idea, taking pics of lovely sites on a train, why has this not happened sooner?!

If that's what it is, it's just my observation as a non-Japanese speaker.

Rockstar opened up a Japanese division back with GTAIV.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Only one of these will end up on retail shelves, Level-5's asking fans to vote for which one they want.

About 1 billion times better than the Wii cover.

Xbox version looks better.

I tried to find a trailer for this but couldn't find any, it looks like this plays like the Densha de Go! series.
Here are some screenshots on Famitsu: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201307/12036582.html

The same company is publishing an Airport manager / Flight Simulator

This one looks amazing too, why does the 3DS have to be region locked

Have you tried Railfan? It looks like a similar game but for PS3. Here's a couple of gameplay videos.

Yes Railfan is a similar kind of game.

The main difference between Railfan and Densha de Go series is that while the former records a real video of the train course, the latter plays in a full virtual environment.

Both approaches have its advantages and disadvantages.
With the first method you get a perfect image quality and environment, but since the video is pre-recorded it sometimes can go "out-of-sync" if you do not follow the time perfectly.
The Densha de Go method instead has a fully 3D modeled world, so the image fidelity is lower but the interaction-immersion level is much higher.
That 3DS game should be made with the Densha de Go method.


I remember trying Densha de Go Final a few years ago and really liking it.
I was trying to find a copy for myself here in Japan but even second hand they're pretty expensive, $50+. Controllers can reach $200 easily!

Unfortunately the whole "de Go!" series was dropped by Taito with the advent of HD consoles because it became too costly to build HD towns

The Asian version does. Japanese does not.

You sure? The LE version (with the sweet snowglobe) I got for Okami HD has the English options.

 

[JordanN]

I wanted to get excited thinking "they made a HOTD game?!?1" but then I saw it's a slot machine.

Hmm... I wonder just what we'll get for a cover of the 1st game tbh. D:
