These guys seem to be pretty proud of their game. How often do you see game creators signing autographs?

Makes me wish they'd make it available to us.

Yeah. It looks like a pretty good game. Though referring to my previous post a short anime to promote it wouldn't hurt either. They did it for Sands Of Destruction, why not this too?

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

That's actually more likely than you'd think, but I don't think they will release to promote the game but rather to complement it. Remember, these are the creators of the Dot Hack franchise, which has not only spawn three game series, but two anime series, a nice collection of manga, and even some light novels.

The creators have already said that this will not be their last project in the Little Tail Bronx series. What with Strelka Stories and Red Data Children announced.

P.S. How do I link to a specific post and not the whole forum page again?

...Let us in...

I think this is related to Red Data Children: This 3-part radio drama (with pictures, it begins at about 3:05) featuring a young Red and the main character from RDC (Rose). I didn't understand much of what was being said, but the pictures and voice tones help a lot in figuring out what's going on. Here is part 2 and part 3.

EDIT: As for linking to a specific post, I believe you can right-click on the date of the post (Example: Thu, 10th Mar '11 12:03:03 AM) and then open the link in a new tab to find the URL for the post.

EDIT AGAIN: It seems like this is Red Data Children.

Also: They've been putting up more images of the stuff from the upcoming event on their Twitter. I REALLY wish I could be at the event now.

I don't have too much to say.

This is probably the wrong place and time to put it, but Cyberconnect2 opened their studio for the citizens affected by the quake today. I hope everything works out okay for the people in Japan.

What they did...it was nice. Thanks CC 2.

I am reminded of Mamoru-kun, and wonder if they will do some relief-effort work to support the Japanese in this time of need.

Also:

...I feel bad about posting that.

New news.

The PAL release seems to be a reality, but Namco keep stringing us along with no official confirmation, or release date.

This was my reaction to the above article.

I don't have too much to say.

I'm still waiting until the game is booted up on my Nintendo DS before celebrating. This is still not an official confirmation. At this point however, it's extremely likely to have a EU release, and this news pleases me.

...Let us in...

Yeah, if they do release it in the UK (hopefully by early this summer, so that I may be able to come across it in a game store somewhere) I might be able to buy it. I hope so. Although I'm kind of frustrated as to what the plot really is. It seems like it's stopping a sort of Eldritch Abomination, then it switches to stopping a trio of humans from doing...something. And the portions of the trailer that look like they're from an anime aren't really helping.

I guess this game is one of the biggest candidates for the "Which games make you feel like you're playing a Shonen anime" thread.

Also, it's for the 3DS, right?

Sonic hates SOPA

^Nah, for DS.

Actually, its for the original DS and the D Si.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I don't have too much to say.

I don't think D Si has different games from DS ._.

...Unless I don't know what you are talking about o-o

Whoops, I meant to say that the game is D Si-enhanced. (Which unfortunately means its region-locked if you try and play it on a D Si or a 3DS.)

I don't have too much to say.

Ah, I see? .-.(How does that work?)

If by that you mean "How does the region-locking work?": If you try and play this game on an American 3DS or D Si, the system will not recognize the game as being inserted. It will just appear like there is nothing in the game slot.

However, if you meant "How is the game D Si-enhanced?": Apparently if someone used it on a D Si, that person could take a picture to use as a profile picture for their save. (When loading a saved game, Solatorobo normally has a picture of Red Savarin as an image. This feature replaces the picture.) This seems to be the only thing that the game uses D Si features for, which kinda makes me wonder why the developers decided on making the game D Si-enhanced in the first place.

I don't have too much to say.

Ah, I see o-o

This could see a PAL release?

... Sweet.

Stargate SG-1 Let's Watch. Because my ZHP thing failed.

Well, if I do get a DS, or maybe even a 3DS some time: wait what they are region locked I thought they weren't???

Not that I was planning on extensively exporting, but that still sucks.

Sonic hates SOPA

Can anyone confirm this?

Especially this part:

...Let us in...

@Nifty Lost Kite: Yes, that's a Press E-Mail from Nintendo of Europe themselves. I only translated it by hand from Dutch to English.

Oh hey there! Didn't think you'd come and post in the thread yourself. Thanks!

So I guess that winter 2011 poster was a teaser after all. WMG FTW.

...Let us in...

Yeah, I saw visits from the link you've posted here, so I thought, let me check this site out. Then I saw your question, and I decided to answer it.

Winter 2011 is still eight months away... *sigh*

So apparently it releases on July 1.

I don't have too much to say.
