Save your money for the Wii 2 and play them on that.
Love the graphics in the game. A style that we haven't seen enough in the last 5 years. That pic to the far right looks like what a new Phantasy Star should look like.
That picture on the far right is art work.
If you really want to save money, import Xenoblade right now and you can get it for cheap and play it right now. Ask yourself do you want to give that joker Reggie your money?

Holy shit Tekken 3DS mega bomba
Ay hay hay hay.
This game, world 5, the platforming, soooooooooooo good.
Is it? So that scene is not in the game?
It is, it is called Earyth Sea and everything you see, the floating Islands, the light tower and the rocky spire is fully explorable! It just does not look that good when playing.
Is there any reliable data on 3DS attach rates in Japan (or in general)? All I can find is immediately after launch.
I highly doubt you can get it imported for cheaper than the normal cost. And it is far better to buy it here to tell NoA to not be assholes in the future.
Vita is sweeet ... loving it.
It is one beautiful piece of hardware. Like the PS3 you feel the cost, it feels like a luxary system.
I so need a break from shooting stuff in games. I have a couple of weeks till ME3 maybe it is a good time for Rayman...
It sure does, UC GA is beautiful!!!! I'm just in awe of Vita its got me all giddy. Just messing with everything Download Hustle Kings too. So much to do and see and feel LOL.
Rhythm Heaven gets another awesome review. You yanks get to buy it now at a bargain $30.
Here there is still no release date.
I doubt they will ever drop a huge bomb in one of these webcasts. Main news was that Fatal Frame 2 remake is coming out in Europe on Wii. Last Story is coming out in America thanks to XSEED and Fire Emblem has paid for DLC that will be free for the first few weeks.
Awesome news. Was very disappointing when FF4 didn't make it, and yes I'm too lazy to hack the WIi.
Travo, I pmed you on Vita I love this thing, no such thing as an off viewing angle controls are amazing. This thing might be my go to platform for a while. At least until Wii U lol I'm such an addict.
First day update for BInary Domain. Woohoo.
EDIT:
And an extremely slow install.
I know we're barely a day in, but has anyone seen anything about how the Vita is selling so far in NA and Europe? My local Gamestop said they had 22 pre-orders on Sunday, which he said was pretty good, but they didn't look like they'd sell out.
