Looks pretty neat. Keepin my eye on this one!
IMO a must-have eShop game.
How much is it in Japan?
No news on when we're getting this? Want so bad.
Looks like a good game. But in the eShop trailer it looks weird when he fights giant Samurai wearing a bunch of armor when he's in normal clothes.
They told us a January release, and they FINALLY say February 2nd? WTH NoA?!
wheres the review
@iroxyorsox: the game hasn't even been released yet. we appreciate your patience!
Think I'll pick this up.
Really hope this comes out down here in Australia; looks awesome.
