I live in Europe, so i don't know about the rarity in the states, but considering the prices on eBay or Amazon...

I'd say that shop of yours simply has no idea If you have a Gamecube or a Wii and a Gamecube controller, and if you like JRPGs, i suggest you go and buy that game.

Especially this part:

If its only rare for PAL though it would make sense that the store that was selling it was selling it for relatively cheap since it probably isn't rare where I live (US). I have a gamecube and a wii, but I don't plan on running out to buy the game since if I want to play it I can just emulate it. (I'm generally not one to buy older games that I could emulate in general.)

well, the linked amazon and ebay are the US versions, it looks like you won't be able to buy it below 50$ (it's hard to tell for ebay bids though)

With the recent addition of numerous anime games on Steam, do you guys ever think any of the IM@S games has a chance of having a Steam port too?

One word: Never.

It would be pretty interesting if it did, considering the mods that would be made, global availability, cheaper to record stage for you (not needing a capture card, just a good recording software which you can get for free through certain methods), etc.

The chances of it imo are absolute 0, though.

That's unfortunate, but that's what I believe to be the case as well.

Nintendo Officially Leaves Brazil.

Brazilian division of the Video Juegos Latinoamérica has ceased distribution of Nintendo products in Brazil -- ending a four-year partnership. Nintendo has not named a replacement distributor.

Nintendo cites the country's high import tariffs and other unspecified challenges with the local business environment as reasons for the withdrawal. For instance, the Wii U launched at a cost of R$1899, or about $830 USD. Games sold for R$179 to R$199, or $77 to $87 USD.

"Brazil is an important market for Nintendo and home to many passionate fans but unfortunately challenges on the local business environment have made our current distribution model unsustainable in the country," says Director and General Manager of Latin America at Nintendo of America, Bill van Zyl.

Well, holy shit at those prices. Such a terrible loss all-around.

I've been playing some games other than Pokémon Alpha Sapphire (breeding for Shinies). Finally had an oportunity to play Resident Evil: Revelations, and Resident Evil 6 for computer. And... trying Touhou in Hard Mode. Already beat EoSD, now trying Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Man, that news spread up worldwide I see. But anyway, many people say that about prices. :p
Still, I dunno if that going to change thaaaaaat dramatically.

So to rouse the hype train -- and just in case you've missed out -- it's time to reflect on this year's Nintendo Direct.

Lots of promise here, particularly with old gems like Galaxy 2 not requiring Wii mode, Amiibo news, and the New 3DS XL. Provided Mario Party 10 serves well, that and Splatoon are major keepers in regards to multiplayer, so here's hoping my buddies commit as well.

Speaking of handheld gaming, it seems like I'm only that much closer to revisiting said genre now. Moreover, the real holy grail of it all, I feel, is the new Fire Emblem. This looks to take place in a new universe whilst being all the more sublime as Awakening. Bring it on.

And suddenly, fan art:



For being a leggy dancer, she'd certainly be the spouse of choice.

Yeah, hyping so much for that new FE. And plus...

By the way, I still hope for SMT X FE too...

Ever since my recent contributions to Amiibogeddon, the fact that they are restocking Marth's amiibo because of his compatibility with Codename S.T.E.A.M. is FANTASTIC news for me.

I also think that I'm officially sold on the New 3DS XL, especially since I need a new 3DS in general since my 3DS' R button is defective.

Harmonix has a survey about a future Rock Band installment:

This is just a photoshop but it's so well done it'd be straight up bonkers as DLC:

In other news, the main lineup for this year's EVO has been announced;



Good exposure to anime fighters, but RIP UNIEL and Blazblue. Melee and Marvel have gotten to be stale choices, but they'll sure rack in viewers. What's surprising is MKX and Tekken 7 -- what time will people have to train? Awkward territory, there~.
