Interested in Umihara kawase impressions, about to preorder on AmiAmi. From what I played of the 3DS version, language barrier shouldn't be a big deal.

Kinda salty I bought the 3DS version at its crazy launch price instead of waiting for this much superior, cheaper version.

Also they kept the original name intact.

Yeah 3DS western release kinda feels like a dick move, digital only, on that platform of all things, at that price. I bought it at a decent but not amazing discount. $20 + the SNES game (first time it's been localized, right?) is pretty damn great though, enough to justify digital only.

Damn shame about that art style though. 2D might have looked nice with more stylized characters.

I haven't been able to put down Demon Gaze the last few days. It's pretty good! I'm close to challenging Hermes now and doing well with a party of Gazer, Samurai, Ranger, Paladin and Healer. So far it has the perfect difficulty for my taste (and ability).

If it's part of the Golden Week sale y'all need to get it.

Oh and I hope Umihara Kawase won't take too long to come to EU PSN. Almost preordered the JP version but this is so much better. :)

I dont regret buying it at $30, but i feel like it should of launched cheaper. Alot of people were turned off by the price. Hopefully the Vita version does better.

Just got a quick look at it, and it's amazingly edited. I don't enjoy reading on monitors that much, specially when the background is white. But since there's no option to download it to the phone
to read it on the toilet
, I'll read it later.

So the NIS teaser turned out to be a port for the PS4? Damn, I was hoping for Vita.

Anyways, for Golden Week, I'm hoping for deep discounts on some JRPGs, like Atelier Ayesha.

Also pulled the trigger on Steins;Gate. I would hate it if they announced a NA LE after the EU one releases.

Has anyone talked about this here, how the Vita Lounge got its own e-magazine? With Greg Miller already expressing interest to write for the next issue?

This is so awesome. Who do I talk to to contribute? I'd love to help in any way possible.

TOTP: Put your Vitas down and go read the magazine, it's quite good!

Didn't get a chance to respond to this sooner, but I would love to help out with this :D! It would be not only a great way to flex my writing abilities (as I am an English Major), but I can help spread the word on the Vita to people who may not own one or who would just love to talk about the Vita.

This is great news :), as this is Vita love being spread further across the web and I would love to help out if I can :D.

Thanks for the plug, names2hard4you. :)

Been a long time coming, and glad to be able to share it with you guys. As for talk about contributing, you'd talk to me I suppose - however we're already locking down issue two as not to get thrown off course too far by the launch.

What do you guys think the chances are of SAO: Lost Song getting a physical release in NA? I'm thinking of importing it, but I'd much rather have a NA copy. That way I can import Moe Chronicles instead. Also, is P-A the best deal? For preorders, I usually import from Amiami, but I can't find the games on there.

Let's say somebody isn't into the visual styling of Sayonara UmiharaKawase but that person really loves 2D platformers for their Vita. Should they pay $20 for this game? Honestly the videos do not make this game look very good. The game looks super easy. Am I wrong on this?

No idea as Bandai Namco has not made any sort of official statement on it yet. Would like to think they will say something in regards to the game come E3 though.

Dunno, I just pre-ordered it from Play-Asia anyway since the game doesn't even have a western release date yet.

I'll make sure to let VitaGAF know if we need anyone. I've already pulled Shizuka for some obscure-ish reviews, and I'm sure you guys could come in handy as things evolve as well. =)

The odds are way better than they were before SAO:HF was the #1 selling digital title in 2014, so I'd probably wait a little bit before jumping on the Asian English edition.

Yeah, I was thinking there might be a chance since HF did so well. Tbh, I'm just hesitant on MC since it's a DRPG and not a card-type game like MonMon. Would've already preordered it if gameplay stayed the same (minus rubbing).

you couldnt be more wrong about the difficulty lol. Umihara Kawase is one of the best platformer series and this port is amazing. Also includes the SNES original. For $20 its an amazing price.

so what you're saying is Shovel Knight passes Mega Man X1 intro stage design school

No, seriously, I'm happy to see SK out on more platforms. Didn't like it as much as many, but it was fun and I'm glad I backed it. I think I liked it as an homage to Zelda 2 more than to Mega Man or Castlevania or whatever

This trailer makes it look like a slow easy game.

The thing is that the game is physics based, so you really cant go around jumping about and using your zip line recklessly or you'll die. Not to say that the game is slow or anything, once you get a good grip on the mechanics you can clear stages pretty quick.

Literally never heard of Calameo before this

Looks pretty slick, I wonder if I could make a magazine about DIY cat toys

Really good looking magazine btw, looking forward to many more
