@FaithlessMr: Actually, that’s not entirely correct. On the same day the SE France website leaked a release period, the US EB Games website did the same thing. I believe the US EB Games website said 1 July 2012.

@Blackmage456:
I’m afraid what had been mentioned before was an european release (which then lead some to believe a NA release would precede or follow this european summer relese).

The SE France website still has this game scheduled for a Summer release, so I’m guessing we should expect that to be true, coming from SE themselves and all that :3

Darn you Japanese consumers, darn you for falling in love with portable hardware.

This is the story of my life with Japanese games the last few years.

For all this nonsense about Japanese games not being good anymore and all that junk, one thing is often overlooked.

The majority of Japanese games have been on portables since 2006ish. And almost all of them are very good.

(Not only in ratings, but sales aren’t to bad for portables.)

You rarely see portable games mentioned in articles about Japanese games. And since most of these articles are criticizing Japanese games, or saying they suck or something, I think excluding portable games from the discussion is unfair and ignorant.

Most of us gamers in the west play on PS3/360 or PC. We tend to forget about the portables, and miss out on great games from Japan.

Not all of us, but the majority. I have to put myself in the list that misses out unfortunately.

I just don’t have the time and cash, I wish I did… I’m really going to try and find time for portable gaming when I buy a Vita.

That still doesn’t solve my problem with this game though… damn…
