Very interested in Sky Crawlers particularly. It looks great. I do want Monster Hunter 3 to do well though. Capcom have been trying very hard to push that series in the West. Be nice to see their efforts pay off in a big way. You and me both. Very interested in Sky Crawlers particularly. It looks great. I do want Monster Hunter 3 to do well though.

And if a release has a bug like that, an offer to trade it in for a fixed version is made soon after. The original JPN version of AT2 didn't have a game-breaking bug.

Xseed are unloading all their big games within the first few months. Then you have TvC and Sakura Wars, followed shortly by Monster Hunter 3. <br><br>The sad part is they all look like good games, but some are bound to end up being passed over. I can't see either of Capcom's games being missed. Fragile is my bet. Yeesh, first half of next year is loaded as far as Japanese games are concerned.
