Topic: Unchained Blades

@moomoo I don't think Xseed has announced a date for it yet. Generally, they would have made an announcement already if it was coming out soon.

@TheDreamingHawk Chances are NSMB2 will end up rating high probably 8 or greater on Nintendo Life. They haven't really rated a recent Mario game poorly yet. It will be interesting to read the actual review though.

Where is this game? >:{

@smexi: on PSN

I notice on the news story about upcoming games on Nintendo consoles, that Unchained Blades is listed under "3DS" in addition to "3DS eShop". I hope that's not a mistake.

Probably why it was delayed in the first place. NOA probably made them release a retail version because of it's high price. Glad it's coming within a month though!

Nintendo can't force 3rd parties to release their software in physical (or digital) form.

If XSEED is releasing a retail version though, that would explain the delay. Whatever the case, I'm glad it's coming soon

OK. apparently it was an error on XSEED'S part, and it's still only going to be digital, coming before the end of September.

Any news on this game?

No, but thanks to you, I went to XSEED's site and found out that Ograrhythm is coming to America. That's good news for me.

I sent them an email. Here is the full conversation:

When I asked about those difficulties, they replied with:

"Hello Connor,

We are still working with the development team to make sure the 3DS code is as clean and stable as possible with no game-ending crash bugs. We're stamping out those pesky 'bugs' one at a time right now.

Ken @ XSEED Games"

So they seem to be almost done. Besides bugs and stuff, I predict that they should have it out by the end of September or at the start of October.

It's been great to see a bunch of random games trying to replace the niche Guitar Hero nearly killed. It's just a shame that all of them combined haven't had 1/5 of the success in America.

@TheDreamingHawk
No way, my name is Conner too.
Except, it's spelled with an e at the end.

OMG when is this game? I wantttt

What I'm really saying is that Rhythm Heaven deserves to be the new DDR/Guitar Hero, except without the overexposure and dying a painful death part.

I really want this. Thanks @TheDreamingHawk for the rough dates!

I hope we see this released in the next 3 weeks. If so it would bea nice stretch for the Eshop.

Got another email. They said that the price is going to be $30, just like on PSP. Also, they said they are "working with Nintendo" on bringing the game without glitches, as they don't want anyone spending their $30 to feel scammed.

If you want to get up-to-date info, email them at [email protected]

It's taking them a long time I emailed them too awhile ago and they said the same thing. ALSO THERE WAS A TYPO IN THE EMAIL

$30 DOLLARS?!?!?!?==

I want the game, but was only willing to spend $15. Now I need another point card

Yeah, but it's a retail title (it's on cart in Japan, but not getting a physical release in the west), so the price is to be expected.
