Yay, it's out in Japan VC too.

I'm waiting for Hebereke/Ufouria next week tho.

Japanese VC only or this is going to be out as an import title for US and Europe VC as well? Looks interesting. Unfortunately I'm saving the last 1,500 Nintendo Points that I have left for La-Mulana if it ever comes out. Speaking of which, forgot to update on what's going on with La-Mulana's development lately.

[VixyNyan]

Wikipedia says it already exist in USA/EUR. It's called "Ufouria: The Saga". It's one of my favorite Sunsoft games. ^^

I think you should all check the wikipedia entries, because those VC lists are pretty accurate. ^^;

Also I added FF6 and OoT to my list (because you can never have enough OoT, including Master Quest on Gamecube).

[IQ-0]

Can't wait for River City Ransom 2 coming to Wiiware Yipee~!! ^v^

Posted on: March 24, 2011, 03:19:15OMG!!! ROCKMAN X!!!

Oh please let this be an indication that North Americans and Europeans gets to play the original Mega Man X on the SNES! Although I have MMX Collection on the GameCube, I want to be able to hear "HADOUKEN!" from the SNES days.

Kinda late for this, but I got Leviathan for my Hard Corps: Uprising roster.

Posted on: April 11, 2011, 09:17:15 PMFinally, Microsoft gets a doujin PC game released on their platform, and then some.

Japanese PV | Magic Barrier system (Japanese) | Magic Card system (Japanese)

Now I wonder when is Rockin' Android is going to give the 360 owners the same treatment they've been giving (and selling out) to Sony with (especially with Crescent Pale Mist). Time to get my 1600 MS Point card that I've been holding onto for 2.5 weeks ready for this game and this Friday's big sale.

Posted on: April 13, 2011, 10:45:22 PMMy list is now equipped with Shadow Complex and I saved $7.50 bucks for it thanks to yesterday's sale. Man this game is getting as good as Super Metroid.

Next up: Trouble ☆ Wiches NEO!

Posted on: April 16, 2011, 11:28:45 PMBit of a financial dilemma here. I've got about 1100 MS Points left and I dunno if I should buy Trouble Witches NEO! or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night this week. There's a sale going for XBLA Castlevania games this week and Symphony of the Night is now 400 MS Points ($5 USD), although I've played the heck out of it since I played it on the PlayStation but it's a deal too good to pass up. I'm starting to like some of the things in Trouble Witches NEO! from what I've played on the demo, but the English dubbing and translations are awful (thanks to SNK Playmore for publishing it), the Japanese voice overs are pretty much recycled from the original PC game, and they killed some of the things in the PC version (like the Practice Mode, or being able to actually molest the shop girls' chests for lulz). Plus I had planned on getting a Trouble Witches theme for my Xbox. A bit of help?

Speaking of Symphony of the Night, I see that you got your hands it now Vixy. If there's another Metroid-style game to recommend on XBLA, I recommend Shadow Complex. Lots of exploration, cool upgrades (SPEED BOOOOOST!) and level-up perks, interesting storyline, and tons of challenges in the game to encourage sequence-breaking and speed-running.

[VixyNyan]

Um, you say that as if I don't already know since it was shown on E3 2 years back.

You have to look into my Virtual Console and Wii list to see what type of games I play (Pretty much ANYTHING that's fun! no joke), so don't worry, I will be able to jump into all the games I want, the only thing stopping me is having enough MS Points ready nya. ^^;

Congrats on getting a 360, Vix.

Do the Sonic games on there allow for Lock-on or no?

[VixyNyan]

I just found out, Sonic & Knuckles has lock-on.
You have to pick "Bonus Content" in the game's menu and then select one of the 3 games. ^^;

[Police Girl]

Sweet, SEGA did the right thing and kept the functionality intact.

[ViperAcidZX]

Sorry for this stupid question, Vixy, but... Can Japanese Xbox 360 S (Slim) can play North American games, or it's region-looked like it's American cousin?

Also, because I was running out of time and I like being cheap, I bought Symphony of the Night. I'm mad at the fact that I'm 40 MS Points ($0.50) short of Trouble Witches NEO!'s asking price. Good thing a bought another card.

Speaking of Trouble Witches NEO!, Luca & Victor, the new DLC characters of the game just came out yesterday, and her stats are nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuts! She could easily destroy stuff with minimal effort and she has TWICE the amount of the MP of any character of the game. It makes me want to buy the game even more, despite the bad English dubbing, translations, and no Practice Mode from the original PC game.

-EDIT-
Luca & Victor's price tag is a mere 160 MS Points ($2). Sweet deal for a ridiculously overpowered character in a shoot 'em game if you ask me.

[VixyNyan]

Can Japanese Xbox 360 S (Slim) play North American games, or is it region-looked like its American cousin?

Most games are region free or works just fine on a Japan system. ^^

This guide might help you.

What about the store? Any way to get things from other region's stores? Because I'd really want this when it comes out D:

Didn't this came out at Comiket 79 last year for Windows PC? Some of the guys at DoujinStyle bought / imported copies of their own while I just download this off the internet until I can buy my own copy. Would like to see this hit North American and European shores on consoles one day...

[Solar]

Yes, but it's coming out for XBLA with 3 extra characters at least, new stages, and an online that won't only work if you know the other person's IP =X (oddly Bernkastel isn't there, pretty weird considering she was already in the original's data).

[VixyNyan]

Login to xbox.com with your Live account (or at least just browse the site as a guest, but login is a better idea), change the language of the site to Japanese on the top-left side, and then you can "browse" the Japanese store and see what's available. But you can only buy things that are already available in your own region. If you want to "buy" any Japan-exclusive things, create a Japanese account and use prepaid cards from PlayAsia or other sites that offer digital redeem codes (sent by e-mail).

With your Japanese account, you can access all the Japanese store contents, so you can download a free demo of the game (if it exists) and see if it works on your system before you pay for the full game. ^^

[Reg]

Got these for Virtual Console last week.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Blaster Master
River City Ransom
Alien Soldier
Mega Man
Mega Man X

[Waifu]

Could you transport XBLN/WiiWare/PSN stuff on your SD card?

[Police Girl]

Yeah, but it won't work if you try to use it on somebody else's console.

[Reg]

Another pay check means moar! VC games! 

Here's what I got:

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Never played much of it, despite owning the OG cart)
Bomberman '93
Bomberman '94 (Wanted to see the differences from this an Mega Bomberman)
Contra III: The Alien Wars (My fav Contra game)
F-Zero

[Police Girl]

Cool news, PS3 Owners. PSN is back up, the store should follow soon.

More importantly free games. PS3 Owners can get 2 free games as appreciation for not selling your PS3 over the issues. PSP users can get some games as well.

List is here, its limited I know, but better than nothing, right?

[Reaperoid]

I never used my US PSN account, but I don't know just yet if I'll still be able to get into the store using 6.35 PRO.

[Hypershell]

Guess I should start thinking about what free PSP games I want...  I actually don't have any of those four.

[VixyNyan]

OK, this time I updated my list with Demos/Trials of games that I will decide to buy a full version of later. ^^;

[Waifu]

Yeah, but it won't work if you try to use it on somebody else's console.

So I cannot transfer WiiWare files from one to another? Awww man.
