lol Bungie is nothing but microsofts bitch now they cant do anything unless micro says so

So I scored the free strat guide by buying Phantom Hourglass at TRU. I must thank Gamestop for not having it yesterday.

So, ASH is out and is it in English?

  • Not in English. It’s out tomorrow in Japan…or earlier. One of the gents will make sure to progress review it for those who didn’t get their “special club member cards” as of yet.

The new screens from RPGamer and my av will hold me back until November.

it was up on a couple sites yesterday.

What’s so difficult about making a prgm that translates Japanese to English in a videogame?

:sad: wow.

Etrian Odyssey 2 announced.

  • New classes: Doctor Magus, Gunner and Pet. The Magus is sounds like a combat mage, which has healing properties as well as offense boosts from studying the body. The Gunner can use various elemental bullets. The Pet class is an animal class.
  • Existing jobs will have brand new artwork.
  • Battles will be much more visually exciting.
  • FOEs will have new rules and new types.
  • The director is Komori (the writer of EO1, Devil Summoner PS2 and Princess Crown), and she says they decided to make a sequel when they looked into the template and realized they could improve the balance of the calculations and skills, as well as brushing up the existing formula.
  • There are two settings this time: the Sekaiju as well as the flying castle.
  • You can create a total of 30 charcters this time.
  • They have added a quicksave function for saving in the middle of dungeons. (YAY)
  • For map creation, there are now 3 different colors you can use.
  • There are also more icons and arrows to use.
  • When buying equipment now, the character status is displayed so you can see how effective they are before buying. (YAY!)
  • Game is 70% complete, release date will be announced soon.
  • The character design, monster design and sound are handled by the same staff as the first game.

An online Advance Wars would be very bad for me…I have over 200 hours on Dual Strike as it is :sweat:

If Yuzo Koshiro is back handling the music this game is first day buy for me. :bgrin:

I pretty much filled up my SD card already, but I have to ask how rampant is cheating online? I always thought I was pretty good at MK, but I played someone today who literally disappeared after the the beggining of the race. :looney:

I’m not sure about people cheating on MK but certain tracks have insane glitches. Wario’s stadium(from N64) allowed you to skip most of the first lap by jumping the wall at the beginning of the track. Shit still pisses me off.

have you ever used an online translator program like babelfish?
that should answer your question

a lot, trust me, i work in translation.

Zelda DS bottom line:
Fucking addictive. I have to ask the teachers to go to the bathroom every period just so I can play it there. The touch controls aren’t bad and it feels like classic Zelda within the first couple of hours.

I’m going to look into the new Crash, Spyro, and Spiderman games.

Don’t forget that the first Bleach fighter for the U.S. will arrive next week (10th, I believe, but they say the 9th). I’m waiting for that. And Mega Man ZX Advent.

Contra 4 box art and release date

Oh, and here’s how to get that Feather Stylus that someone mentioned before. You have to register Zelda DS and fill out a survey.

Lol contra dropping at the same time as 2 other games I’m already gonna get. Maybe I’ll just wait for Metal Slug 7.
