Games here need classification in order for them to be sold, therefore, Refused Classification equals no sales are allowed.  It's like the worst kind of porn, or a weapon, so far as the Aussie governemtn is concerned.

Should be put to sleep in July though, from what I read.

The worst type of porn being X-Rated porn in Victoria.

You know, that raises a question.  I have no idea what the porn laws are in AU, or if it's regulated domestically.  I know on import it is (that they have the ability to check your electronics etc...).

The laws depend on the state. Apparently Canberra has the most lenient laws.

Dragon Quest Rocket Slime Getting Sequel on DS

Hell yes!! Granted, SE has really started holding back on a lot of their games from Western audiences in the past year.  No SaGa games, no DQM: Joker 2, no Bahamut's Blood, and I'm sure that escape my mind. Hopefully that will not be the case here.

Upon further review it's actually for the 3DS not the DS. Based on that, I'd say there's a better chance that it'll get a worldwide release.

heres hoping it comes to america square doesn't seem to like releasing enix's games in america

I so hope it does. Does anyone remember how the "first" one sold in the states?  I love that game SO much, it is consistnely in my top ten games.  My position was always that it seemed like a game that was teh 3rd or 4th in a franchise series it was so well developed and polished -- "perfected" if you will grant me an exageration.  I read this huge feature on the game in EDGE, and sure enough, it appeared to be a one-off.

Then yesterday I find there WAS a game bfore it on the GBA in Japan.  Nice research EDGE

Yay x 2.  I now have a reason to get a 3DS.

Homefront is $42 at Wal*mart (in-store and online) and Amazon.  Not sure for how long.

Sweet. Legend of Mana coming to PSN. I really like seeing all these PSOne classics fron Square-Enix becoming available again.

Square-Enix has overall done a nice job of keeping their classic games out there. With the exception of Chrono Trigger (and the oh-so pathetic Secret of Evermore) they've got all their SNES classics on the VC or at least announced for it. Likewise, they've got the majority of the PSOne games out there or on the way. The only other thing they could do is maybe release some translated classics but that's probably a lot to ask.  Pity that other publishers don't quite recognize the value of their back libraries.

I had a dream last night that I was defending an action of EA on the boards.

Something stupid like, "Last time I looked they were still the 2nd largest third-party publisher in the world, so if they are doing something it is, by defacto, significant".

I don't even remember what I was defending.

i agree square is doing a great job with their virtual back library i wish that enix would start to don't get me wrong with ogre battles i was made happy but wheres the love for dq, i am very happy to hear legend of mana coming to psn god knows i must have played that game for at least a 100 hours even more then the classic original. i wish that crapcom would get off their lazy asses and start the same thing sure we have a lot but its not even half of their back library
