This guy is just as pleasant as his music,

@Koffeeking0407 I can't agree with that.
Look at Dead or Alive 5, it's a fast, fun and easily accessible fighter with enough depth to please the competitive FGC. But by your logic,
because it has bikini skins as DLC, that invalidates every good design choice. That just seems ignorant to be frank.

She is tiny this time around! What happened?!

He said he hasn't played a lot of Metroid, so why is him not remembering enemy names a big deal? I love the Strider series, yet I don't know what any of the mooks are called, does that make me stupid?

I thought this was UK only, not the entirety of Europe?
Guess I'll give it a try then.

Then I suppose GBA titles coming to the 3DS is out the door by now...
Shame, but at least we get the games.

Love the game and you'd think a more boost-focused, larger scale and much more challenging alternative to Mario Kart would sell like sliced bread over in Japan.

This is what I consider to be the real Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as it builds upon the foundation 3 and K by adding a new character and features level design in the same style as the classics which Dimps gradually deviated from starting with Sonic Advance 2.

@BAGBOY Come on, Sonic JUST recently had two great games released (Colors/Generations), are we still shouting "PLEASE DIE SONIC!"?
It's pretty much a separate brand with a different developer anyways, so why get worked up about this?

Really, with the game being separate from the rest of the Sonic brand, released alongside a TV show, not getting a release in Japan and being developed by a pretty much unknown developer, I fail to see this is anything more than another TV/movie tie-in game.

Sonic Rush is my favorite DS platformer, so I'd like to see that one get a bit more recognition.

Awww, I was so excited to finally get to play the one Zelda game I never could,
then I saw it wasn't out in Europe...

I'd rather have GBA games on either consoles, but I'm not inherently against this change of pace. Still, will we be able to have the upper screen on the TV and the lower on the pad, if so, what about games that doesn't use touch controls at all? Will we be able to put 'em together on the TV like pictured for the pad as well?

This sucks, I mean... there are just no other words right now.
I was so looking forward to this one, and because of the region-lock,
this means I'll probably never get to play it.

I'm starting to worry a lot for the future of SMT IV,
but at least we know Ghostlight does go the extra length to release something, even if it's just for those who have already preordered.

@shinokami Well, why not publish the book then?
You've got a translator of a cult-classic with a bunch of dedicated fans willing to do all the work himself, so it would be easy quick money.

I don't think this review really does the game justice,
Sonic 3's levels are extremely expanded compared to Sonic 2.
Both in length and design complexity and it's just overall an endlessly replayable game because of the large amount of alternate routes,
especially when taking Tails into consideration

I'm torn. On one hand, I love me some quirky brawlers,
on the other, the fanservice is just extreme on this title...

They actually begun importing DS, Vita and PS3 titles at my local GAME,
it's actually really neat since, with shipping costs, their offerings are usually just as good, just without the wait.

They've also been selling third-hand accessories for older video-game systems, which I appreciate.

The game might not stack up to well against its sequels,
but it is still pretty fun and polished even today.

This is just too harsh, I found this entry to be just fine even though Animal Parade improved on pretty much everything this one offered.

Please be about localization plans for Harvest Moon Connect to a New World!
The sooner it gets over to the US, the sooner we in Europe can begin our most likely year-long wait for our version.

This is my entry into the franchise and I am so happy it came to Europe.
What can I say? I wanted something nice, relaxing and was tired of killing things.

I want this game so much!

A villain for a villain it seems.

A surprisingly pleasant DS-ized variation on a console series,
it's actually really good.

I'm rather annoyed that the Nu52 skin is in the pack when you have to spend so much time unlocking it in the actual game. Feels like a waste since I never cared much for the achievements, which is now the only reward for finishing all the Most Wanted quests.

It's not quite the radical expansion City was,
but I enjoyed my time with the game.
The Gothic Christmas atmosphere is pulled off phenomenally in spite of how large the world is and the characterization between Bruce and Alfred just makes my inner comic-book geek squee.
I've heard the WiiU version is the most stable one by a good margin.

Batman: Arkham Origins (PC version).
Not the most inspired entry, but it's fun and fresh enough.
Unfortunately, the PC version is rather buggy at times.

Sounds decent at least, no idea why so many people are lamenting how this review says the game is horrid when it really doesn't sound that way.

Really lookin' forward to getting my hands on Xtreme 2 again!

Playing 2 and 3 back to back, I must say that 3 is definitely my favorite.
Aside from the fact that Mega Man has finally cleaned up to goop under his mega-boots and stopped slipping and sliding, the level designs are just so solid in design barring a certain segment in Snake Man's stage.
Plus getting to keep your E-Tanks after death is always welcome.

Been sick this week so I've been playing through Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby 64 and Kirby's Dream Land 2 as well as Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World.

@Captain_Gonru Well, physical releases go out of print eventually too, especially in Europe. Like Kirby games that aren't Mass Attack or Epic Yarn for example. Can't really speak for digital releases when they're tied to consoles and not users though.

@Mommar "It's like everyone think we're doing something horrible now, but in the long run it'll be a good thing" They're not saying that killing babies ever turn out to be a good thing, only that what they're doing right now seems bad akin to "killing a baby" "kicking a puppy" etc. but it'll have good results in the future. It's a really awkward sentence to be sure.

The European release completely caught me by surprise, so I picked it up on the way home today. Still have to finish Persona 2 Eternal Punishment before playing this though.

Soul Hackers is out?!
That kinda caught me by surprise,
guess I'll go out and get the retail version then!

From the thumbnail, I though it was a lion with a clown-face.

@leon_x The keyword here, as many pointed out,
is money. You can't expect to ask for money for something related to an IP you don't actually own and assume the company who does own it won't take action.

If the games are sold for about the same price you get used online,
I don't see why it's such an issue that they acquire these games and sell them in-store for the same price. My local GAME store sell imported Vita games for a bit extra to accommodate for the shipping prices and I'm perfectly fine with that.

@Emblem "but i'll be waiting for 3DS overclocked version."
That's the thing though, I feel it's important to support ghostlight by showing that there is a demand for SMT titles over here after all the games they've brought over for us. Or else we might lose them, and with it the only relatively-stable source for SMT for us Europeans that has backed the series from the very beginning of its US exposure.

I already have it through importing, however I pre-ordered all the same to support Ghostlight since they've done such a great job giving Europe SMT titles like Nocturne, the Digital Devil Sagas, the Persona series and of course Devil Survivor.

The problem here isn't the hardware, it's the lack of games.
Changing the hardware won't do anything,

I love Ghostlight for their EU SMT support, but this is just not worth it with the 3DS remake on the horizon and the original release being readily importable.

Well of course. I would expect no less.

Well, well, Virtue's Last Reward's price-drop came just in time.

Too little too late, already got it imported.
Won't have that luxury with the remake though, so hopefully it get brought over.

The DS version is my favorite Tactical RPG and this is a nice update that makes itself warranted by all the new demons, voice-acting and 8th days added.

Persona 4 Arena didn't come out until around 6 months after the US release,
as it happened, it is one of the few PS3 games that is region-locked.
Comparatively, I'm a huge Atlus and Arc system works fan, and both developers have a bad track record when it comes to EU releases.

@6ch6ris6 I think it's nice to hear other people's opinions and reactions to parts of games I enjoy. Simple as that.

Got around to finally starting up Persona 3 once again,
25 hours in and still lovin' it.
Tried to play it immediately after finishing Persona 4 some years ago,
but I just saw everyone in the game as replacements for the P4 cast and couldn't get into it.
