This may be greedy but is FFTA2 available in any region already. I loved FFTA but I've already played it a lot and never touched 2. Would like to give it a spin.

I just want to know why it's taken them so long to start releasing their games outside of Japan and why they decided to start doing it now... there's no way they'll release even half of that stuff over here before the Wii U gets mothballed.

If they bring V over here, it probably have the same issue Mother 1 has on the eShop, where they dig up the old translation that was done originally before shelving the release. This being the infamous one used in the PS1 release.

Oh yeah absolutely, but the music is still messed up and the palette is washed out.

The PS1 version has a messed up... well, everything, but at least the translation is funny in a "wow this is awful" way.

Yeah, it's basically a full remake/port of the arcade game (with some minor differences in enemy behavior and such) with separate sets of brand new levels that have slopes and support 4 players.

I never played Space Invaders Get Even but that was supposed to be decent too, even with an annoying DLC/episode structure.

I recently flipped through a list of WiiWare/Wii VC games and I was quite surprised at what they had. The first two Last Ninja games were on there, which was great... apparently the third one was up, but there was some kind of massive bug with it and they eventually had to pull it.

NA dudes, those Jan 28 sales end at 9AM Pacific. The next set of sales ("adventure games") isn't listed and won't be for a few hours, check back later: http://www.nintendo.com/eshop/offers

The 3DS version of the Lego Avengers game is by the same team that did Lego City Undercover, apparently, and they've been talking up the fact that it's a fully open game with no loading zones (and New 3DS enhancements). It's still Lego so it probably doesn't matter but it's nice to hear someone still gives a drat about handhelds.

Well poo poo, I bought earthbound two weeks ago. I suppose it doesn't matter since that's like 2 bucks...but still.


I wholeheartedly recommend picking that game up. The dialogue early game is really cheesy and funny and endearing. Then it gets some really creepy atmosphere later on. It loses the earlier charm of its wackiness but it replaces it with some fantastic atmosphere and feeling of going further down the rabbit hole.
