    I’m very curious how that Galaxy Express DS game plays.

    Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes (PS3) for me here, it looks and played great. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as well. I havent heard much of anything about Blazing Souls Accelate (PSP)

    Congrats Euro on Naruto Ultimate NInja Storm 2, its gonna be an epic experience, so lucky to get it before domestic USA!, lol!

      I have Sengoku Basara on pre-order but now I’m not sure now. I’ve been wanting to play P3:P for a while and I’m thinking of buying that instead… Any advice?

        P3:P all the way, it is one of my favorite experiences on a game to date. If you dont have it you are totally missing out!

    Didn’t the Galaxy Express game come out two weeks or so ago?Dragon’s Lair Trilogy? Well that sounds pretty cool.

    Also, I’m going to fire up some Sonic Adventure 2, just for kicks. As a game it was pretty cool, I don’t understand why Sonic Team had to go and screw up the series after that. The reboot should be fine, but I must admit I was never really into 2D Sonic (just like I wasn’t into 2D Mario).

    The DS parody of Lufia 2 finally comes to light in English, I see…

    Kirby and NBA 2K11 are both games I’ve really been looking forward to, I need to pick those up

    The reason Kirby’s Epic Yarn does well is because it is a new game. Interesting to note, is that the last good Kirby game was a remake… It really shows how lost they are in the series now.

    But Epic Yarn looks amazing.

      I wonder if it will do well domestically (US), there were no preorder promotions or anything for it, and Ive seen nary an ad.

        It’s a core Nintendo franchise that’s been around for awhile, even without advertisement, why wouldn’t it do well? I’m sure it won’t sell truck loads like Mario, but I would be surprised to see it not do at least decently well.

    After three weeks without a single new Wii game
    Wow, that’s awful.

    Go go Portable 3! m/

    I am actually thankful to see a slow down in DS games in Japan. Means stuff that was passed over has a chance to be localized. That and my wallet can finally breath as DS games start to slow down.

      What do you mean? Apart from Pokemon and Super Robot Wars, there arent any compelling games in the DS library.

        Quit trollin’, buddy.

        • http://tristsantithesis.tumblr.com/ Tsunayoshi Sawada

          Im just sayin. I didnt even suggest Naruto games, I just havent found anything compelling beyond those games and series released on DS, it doesnt even get ps2 ports or remakes.
