Wow! Really thinking about importing now. That and the price tag. Why cost a hundred dollars more when the dollar is above parity. Wish there was no region lock me thinks!
This is false. How many countless rip offs/parodies of the Bond or Mission Impossible themes are there in video games? There are only 12 notes you can play and there is plenty room for artistic license in music. Some EB songs maybe similar but are not note for note and besides what copyright lawyers would be paying attention to a 15 yr old game anyway. Plus it got cleared the first time it was released. However if there are actual samples of real audio from other sources (ie the Python theme, even though that is public domain) then that is the only way that this might be plausible.
Anyone see that new "The Wrestler" movie with Micky Rourke? There is a cool little homage to Pro Wrestling in it with his character playing a similar old Nintendo game that he was in from the 80's. Made me wonder when it would be coming to VC (!)
@big a2. not in pal anyways. I lent my real copy to a friend many years ago and never got it back, so this is a welcome replay for me. Hey, does anyone else think the suits or armour (on the stands) look like little koalas..it's like an optical puzzle, depends how you look at it...maybe I'm just Australian!
This looks more N then most other 3rd party pads.. thought it was official when I first saw the pic.Good work on the button layout, I never liked the cubes tiny buttons much but the big A was pretty sweet!...hope there's no dongle too.
This is very annoying! They can put out a useless sf2 update but no mana. I wasn't expecting it this week but putting out half the us releases with sf2 for md and not som is a slap in the face!

Re: Flame Red 3DS Heats Up Australia from 22nd September
Funny it still costs the same as the American one pre price drop. No thanks NOAu. I imported day one and still come out on top with the free games.
