Oh okay.

Seriously, since when have I played the musical taste dictator? I'm not aware of doing anything to inspire such a title.

Voice acting is way, way bigger in Japan. It's an entire industry, and it has a good share of its own celebrities. I mean, if they were any bigger, they'd have action figures and trading cards.

And plenty of it is still complete garbage. Your point, sir?

Guys you are an angry Japanophile if you don't like a shitty English dub. The police are on their way!

Is making strawmen a hobby for you or something?

Yes, what ever would have given me the idea that that is how you felt?

I mean, we're having a debate about sub vs. dub. If you have a brain, you cannot yell at someone for wanting the original language track for ANYTHING. EVEN IF IT IS JAPANESE OMG

You know, if I could sit through Shenmue's stiff, emotionless dub, I think I can handle this shit too.

But that doesn't mean you should have to.

Seriously. Even if the Japanese voice acting was atrocious (which I highly doubt), that doesn't mean the English voice acting should be.

True, but I guess I just have so little faith in Sega that I'm frankly thrilled that the game is coming out here at all. They could have had Gilbert Gottfried do all the voices and I'd still be impressed.

That actually sounds like a good idea, Toups. I would play that game. I think the best fit would be a Kid Icarus game for the Wii, somehow.

He'd even do the women voices, right?

Shenmue's voice acting at least made it comical, and it was a game where you were to avenge your father's death (after playing Outrun with your allowance). Yakuza, from what I'm told, is a more serious take on that style of gameplay--I'm not sure if it's conducive if I'm going to be choking down laughter every 20 seconds.

I will probably not Step Da Fuck Up!, Sega, unless you prove you know what you're doing with this.

He would especially play the women.

So it seems that even the big time game sites are doing import previews of KOF XI. That kind of coverage is usually resevered for Square RPGs and the llike, so I'm surprised about the attention its getting (and it all seems positive too). Now if only SNK would say something about its chances of coming out over here.

I turned the voice off. If given the option, I might to the same with Yakuza.

In an interview with Suda51 in the August 2006 issue of Nintendo Power:

Goichi Suda: (...) Here's surprise number two: We'll be making Contact 2 for... um, a Nintendo platform to be announced.

extralife · Posts: 3316

Does that mean Wii Contact, or Contact for a new system Nintendo hasn't announced? It sounds like the later, but I'd find that hard to believe.

Drem · Posts: 429

The latter. "Surprise number one" was that he's working on a project for the Wii, so I don't think Wii is the "platform to be announced."

They should package it with Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Really? Could you link to a high-profile, not-terrible one? I... don't go to big game sites, usually.

I think it means (in that typical Japanese way) that they aren't yet able to announce which platform in particular they're developing it for. Which probably means the Wii, yeah.

As for the NGBC combo-pack: yes! That would be the brightest move, I declare. Not even Sony could say no!

Gamespot has a decent write up, but I'm sure it's only because Greg Kasavin runs the place and he's an old Neo Geo freak.

Here's Gamespot's coverage on the import. It prob. does exist simply because kasavin wrote it, but the game is currently number 4 on the top ten most watched PS2 games. Its also being featured in Yahoo games as well.

While it doesn't fit your criteria of a non crappy site, IGN has a preview too, and amazingly, it isn't blatantly incorrect about a lot of things.

Not a ton as of now, but I'm surprised its getting any coverage. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone like 1up or gamespy followed suit in the near future.

Yeah, I'd guess it means a Contact sequel for the Wii, and the other project is something else entirely — perhaps another game in the style of Killer 7 or Blood. We can hope!

Not only are our consoles too cheap, but apparently our games are too.

If these really turn out to be flashy, awkward personal computers, I think I want one. I'm decades late for a reel-to-reel.

Yggdra Union is coming out, according to gamestop.com on 10.24.06 Which in my opinion is very exciting.

Play-Asia has dropped the price on Japanese DS Lites to 179.99.

Looks like I may just get that Light Blue One.

brainiac · Posts: 941

according to CheapAssGamer.com forum, Blockbuster/GameRush is having a 75%-off clearance on a bunch of games. the clearance prices apply only to "new" (not used) items. the info is prolly most valuable if you have a GameRush store near you, as the selection of new-games-for-sale is usually not very good at vanilla Blockbusters. (thus it is pretty useless to me, but hey [maybe it will do somebody on IC some good])

Well, considering they're region free, that's about fifty bucks too much!

Pijaibros · Posts: 968

Ay! If they ever drop to $150 and and the right color isn't available on these shores (most likely). I'll be all over it.

Still would need a way to get rid of my old DS though. At this point who would want it?

i'd like it more violently pink, but hey.

i'm not sure this is news, but just in case any fellow europeans are interested in this, earth defense force 2 (or the chikyuu boueigun 2 or however that's spelled), sandlot's developed and jiji's much-pimped alien genocide simulator, should be released in at the very least spain next month, as "global defense force". (there were some rumors about a release via 505gamestreet some time ago, and then d3 europe came up, but i hadn't heard anything definite for quite some time.)

i don't think this has been mentioned, but there's a new Rockman RPG coming to the DS. apparently it's called Shinsei Rockman ZN, and takes place in the same universe as the EXE series (but, like ZX, is set much further in the future).

you can see some artwork here. it's...yea. i haven't seen any screenshots yet, so it's hard to tell if this will be yet another mindless update to the GBA series. although part of the "message from the dev. team" says it's a "Data Action RPG," so my guess is yea.

however, since there's a huge emphasis on the idea that the cyberworld is now all connected wirelessly, maybe they'll do something interesting with the DS wifi.

Edit: also, here's a translation of a message from the EXE team (i.e. PR bullshit). i can't tell for sure, but i don't think it's a translation of the current message on Capcom's site, so it may have been from a few days ago.

My money is on KoF XI being packaged with Neowave.

If it comes over here at all, that is.

LegatoB · Posts: 1546

Neowave's already out on Xbox. And it sucks. I can't see them bringing it out again now.
