    Glad to see Gravity Daze is on there. Still on my “Most Wanted” list.
    I hope the PSP can still keep going.

    Kingdoms of A. Reckoning, hope its good, I may get it in the summer or so.

    • Solomon_Kano

      Play the demo (if you haven’t). It’s freaking awesome.

      • 27CansOfTuna

        The demo file size is so large that it would take me forever to DL it, so Ill just wait and hope for player impressions or playtests.

        • Solomon_Kano

          Aw. That’s unfortunate. If the rest of the game is anything like the demo though, it’s incredible.

          It’s the size of a WRPG + the combat of a (good) action game + the depth of setting of a JRPG. Just… awesome.

  • Jahred Down

    Jak & Daxter, Here I come!

    Now all I need is a Kingdom Hearts HD collection and all my favorite PS2 games would have been remade.

    I hope Gravity Daze does great! Fight! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

    I tried the One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP demo, and honestly, I wasn’t impressed in the slightest(From the demo). ┐(‘～`；)┌

    I think Namco Bandai missed a great opportunity to sell One Piece to the more casual fans. I didn’t really get a feel for the game with such an abrupt demo. It’s a shame, really, I think Namco Bandai should have provided a demo of the adventure aspect. I thought that looked real fun, but unfortunately, I probably wont ever find out, not anytime soon, anyway.

    It did however have an interesting story, or cinematic aspect, and I got a taste of that in the demo, so I’ll give it that. （＾ｖ＾）

    The other game I’m interested in is Resident Evil Revelations. I hear great things from it, and unlike Namco Bandai, Capcom provided an amazing demo. I’ll be buying it sometime later in the coming months. (＾▽＾✿)

    Anyone who tried Mario & Sonic at the London Olympic Games can give me their insight? I saw some gameplay, and it looks really fun, but I hear that the older games got, well, old. Are there any modes that add replay value? I’m thinking of buying it! (◕‿◕✿)

    • http://twitter.com/DanijoEX DanijoEX

      Well, I did try the demo a little bit but not much. But my brother said the gameplay was good.

      I can’t think of any words to describe it myself so I leave it to someone who can tell you better than I can.

  • Ereek

    Amalur for me.  Loved the demo, it scratches an itch I’ve had for a while.

  • Solomon_Kano

    Aaaah. I need to get the Jak Collection and Kingdoms of Amalur, but they’re going to have to wait, I guess. I mean, I have enough for my Vita, a 16gb card, and maybe one game, so I’m not compromising that so close to release.

  • Herok

    please let the release in japan with hopefully high sales be the thing that gives NA a solid release date for Gravity Daze/Rush 

  • Kris

    Tempted by the Darkness II this week, but my backlog has been way too big lately. Even so, I’m hoping to pick it up eventually!

  • PoweredByHentai

    Next month, DezaEgg will have Gravity Daze skins available for the PS Vita:

    • aoihana

      That’s awesome, but I hate skins that rely on your wallpaper to complete the look. They look amazing when you’re idle on the home screen, but what about when I’m playing a different game or when it’s off? ┐(‘～`；)┌

      Anyway ~ How do you order from DezaEgg? I tried to in the past, but they don’t accept international addresses! (´∩｀。)

      • PoweredByHentai

        I think that there are forwarding services that you can use.  You’ll need an account with one such forwarding service and set the purchase item to be delivered to the service’s address, then the service will ship it over to you.

        • aoihana

          Oh, I see! It’s because I saw someone tweet to DezaEgg that if they shipped overseas, and they said that as long as you had a credit card, they’d ship it anywhere. （*＾ワ＾*）

          I thought there was some secret trick to it, or something! （；¬＿¬)

          Thanks! (◕‿◕✿)

          • PoweredByHentai

            If DezaEgg itself mentioned that they ship to anywhere, then they should update their FAQs regarding international shipping.  >_<

  • sandra10

    I saw the new (?) wallpaper for Gravity Daze http://dezaegg.com/download/wallpaper/gravitydaze/psvita_gravitydaze_02.jpg. So excited to see what this game has to offer.

    I played the Gravity daze demo and i really liked it! But i dont know if i really want to buy a PSvita day 1… >.< 

  • http://www.geekrevolt.com/ DeShaun Zollicoffer

    I’m getting it (Gravity Daze) off PSN as soon as it’s avaialbe, I’ve played the demo about a half dozen times. I still want to know when the US release date is though, since I’ll barely understand the story in the Japanese one.

    • Zal_Yagun

      Its a Launch game.

      • http://www.geekrevolt.com/ DeShaun Zollicoffer

        I wish, but that was confirmed false. Now all signs point to a May release stateside. If it was coming out at launch I’d wait, but since it isn’t I’ll download it on the 9th.

        • Zal_Yagun

          Damn. I didn’t see the update. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -

          That means i need to make due with Dynasty warriors and now shinobido

  • Go2hell66

    I thought onepiece unlimited cruise sp was only coming out next month

  • GGear0323

    i wanted to love the KoA:R demo but it was just OK. it is open world but with each city area connected by sections. i don’t know how big or small all of the sections are. the area in the demo was a nice size. the story didn’t feel like anything special and as for the combat, magic would seem to work like it does in most games (you spam your spells and then wait for your Mana to regen or use potions) while the melee combat seems like it could open up as you get deeper into the game but also feels like for 90% of the enemies it will just be slash, slash, dodge. 

    i would have liked to play more of the demo but it froze on me and i didn’t feel like restarting the opening. as of right now, it is something i would probably pick up during the summer when nothing else it out and it is cheaper. 

    • http://profiles.google.com/dnlblue Daniel blue

      You can skip the intro the second time you play the demo, jumping straight to the overworld instead of running through the tutorial dungeon again.

      • GGear0323

        good to know. i just got outside the tower, killed some things that were hanging out, got to the village and loaded up on quests, do some other stuff and in the middle of bashing some dude to death, the game just stopped. in either case, like other people had mentioned, i really wish the demo had allowed us to save. you could get much more out of the exploration if you didn’t have to do anything in one playthrough.

    Gravity Rush in Japan eh. Yah seems fair to make us wait for 3 months. Ugh. I can’t wait to play Gravity Rush for myself.

  • Quadsdat

    I was really looking forward to Amalur and Shikoden but my backlog has become quite significant and I’m currently occupied with Armored Core V. So I think I’ll hold off from getting those till a little later.

  • JustThisOne

    Excited for Gravity Daze, but I’m on the edge of my seat for Suikoden. It means a lot to me, and I need to know that it’s great despite all it’s changes. They aren’t bad changes (probably), but I just need to know what this means for the future of Flik, Victor and the whole Silverberg shebang.

  • Ladius

    Amalur went from interesting to disappointing in a short amount of time, mainly because it does seem awfully generic and its gameplay looks rather bland. At this rate I will buy it when its price drops, even though I could buy it sooner if I read good things about the complete game.

    Gravity Daze, on the contrary, looks like a day one game (even if the lack of physical release in the western markets really bothers me).

    Suikoden is the real issue here, since we don’t have any reason to hope Konami could localize it, despite it looking like a great jrpg. The same could be said for Senritsu no Stratus, another great game that Konami is probably going to leave in Japan :

    • Solomon_Kano

      “even if the lack of physical release in the western markets really bothers me”
      I thought that was just Europe?

  • http://twitter.com/FaithlessMr Bruno Silva

    I’m so curious to see how Suikoden fares this week. I hope it’s sucessful. I’m rooting for this game, the Suikoden series needs to keep going strong! Sucks it’s being released in a big week domestically, with both Gravity Daze and Sumioni being the big hits this week, that will perhaps overshadow Suikoden.

    Konami needs to pick their release dates better, at least domestically.
