does anyone know how the games are packaged? do they all have their own box or are they all stacked ontop of each other like star ocean the last hope was?

I got lucky and Gamestop had the game for 20$. Thanks for letting me know about the import versions though.

Yea, I remember you can read Japanese. You were making us drool with your Gyakuten Kenji impressions.

If you thought Time Hollow was bad, you should've seen Lux-Pain. Marvelous decided to translate that themselves for some reason, and handed off their own English build to Ignition, who then tried to tidy it up with English voicework that would make more sense.

Unfortunately, what you were left with was a game that tore your brain apart because the voices and text (littered with typos and bad grammar) were completely different.

As I mentioned, the Jpn Gyakuten Saiban DS releases “are” the US localization. They just waited a couple of months to roll out the US version. So if they are rare and sellers are jacking up the price, just get the Jpn version.

I can read Jpn and am almost done w/ Gyakuten Kenji now.

The Jpn release is 100% identical to the US localization, including the numerous typos that the subsequent US release didn't bother to fix. The only difference is it has the additional option to choose to play the game in original Jpn. Basically you get two saves, one for Eng and one for Jpn, and you get two games for the price of one. That's why I never bother getting the US PWs, except the first one which had a different cover.

Does it have “English text” or the “English localization?” There's not much point playing it without the awesome localization if you don't understand Japanese…that's what makes it so entertaining. ;)

Dead Rising was fun, but it was very hard for me, especially saving people under the time limit. I rebooted the save file once accidentally (at least it keeps your levels). It was very hard to see things when the lights are out in the mall. I probably went to a boss that I shouldn't have gone to, I was no match for the shotgun guy, and the corridor was filled w/ zombies at night..

I heard they're throwing out the time limit thing in the 2nd game, if so that would be great.

If you don't mind the “great hits” label, the Jpn Gyakuten Saiban 3 is only $24.90 on Playasia and it has both English and Jpn text. I have Jpn version of the trilogy since they came out earlier and had both languages anyway, I only rebought the US version for the first game because of the unique cover.

I only need Trials and Tribulation left and it is… rising in price. :(

Capcom should at least reprint the games if there's no bundle in the works.

Sounds like a good Club Nintendo release. Honestly, I'm sort of hoping that's what the Super Mario Collection trademark turns out as.

I know, right? Imagine if they were to do it with the Zelda games. You could probably fit every single one going back to the Gameboy (b/w) era on a single DS cart. That would be a pretty monstrous hit.

Yeah… the Metroid release actually has me thinking there should be huge opportunity for last gen reissues too. Imagine if Microsoft did something similar with Halo 1-3, it'd be a gigantic seller. Or SCE reissued ICO and SOTC on a single Blu-ray in preparation for TLG. Or all those GBA games that are now (1) out of print and (2) not playable on a DSi. I'd snatch up a MegaMan Zero Collection on a DS card in a heartbeat.
