Thanks Leo.
Here is somethig to consider when we discuss the 3ds hardware, this from Eurogamer:
The 64MB of RAM is particularly disappointing, bearing in mind that the PSP has shipped with the exact same amount of memory since the launch of the PSP-2000 (the first "slim" model). On the plus side, there is no smartphone OS required to tax RAM resources, but regardless, it's still a surprisingly low amount. The 4MB of video RAM may seem particularly appalling (and is equal to the amount found in PlayStation 2), but bearing in mind that the 3DS only has to deal with an 800x240 framebuffer it shouldn't cause undue concern.
Why does a very Japanese game have music in English? Yeah I know they have a bunch of stuff in english over there. Japan confuses me.
Ok guys during the Michael Jackson segment I said the titles of many Michael Jackson songs. The game is to tell me how many MJ songs I mentioned in that segment. Lets see if you can catch them all.

I heard it was dubbed over from Japanese. At least, I think it was. I haven't listened to the podcast yet Vader, but have you encountered Sho Minamoto yet? Because I assure you, the game gets at least 10X better when you meet him.

^ Isn't that "Pile of Junk" guy... He's third week, isn't he?
Why is Zone of Enders, a mech game, a take on Western games? XD
Hyper spoiled that Kingdom Hearts spoiler in their review. 
I think Kotick definitely is on coke.
Another great podcast! Good to hear Darth on one again!

It's easy to see why my comments could be taken to mean that. That was not intentional. The aspects fo Vanquish which appear to be like ZOE is not the western stuff -- it's the slide mechanic. It reminded me of the side move in ZOE.

Ah, good! As ZoE is quite Japanese!

Nope. Pretty sure he's second.
My recollection of the game is all fuzzy and scrambled. I was playing it just after I had gotten surgery and other stuff was going on, so I don't remember all of it precisely.
