Nevermind, it's not on sale. Along with about 98% of things I was interested in!

Oh well!

Anyone got an emergency crouton i can use? I have a few non-sale items in my cart.

It doesn't have to be a solo experience, you know.

I hate it when someone tries to use that phrase on me, I'm always like "Yeah... and I don't care" because I'm such a badass motherfucker.

While browsing for things to buy on the last day of the Play-Asia sale I saw that the PSP received ports of both games in the Rockman Dash series. Has anyone played these versions?

Japan has it so much better than we do. T_T

Haven't played them, but apparently they reviewed pretty badly. They're straight ports of the PS1 versions, all the way down to having black bars on either side of the screen. Lazy!

Oh! Also, Matt and I had a discussion about Harvest Moon for PSP a while back. I said it was a lazy port of the admittedly awesome PS1 version with bars on the side and he said it was a 3D PSP-specific version. Well here's a screen shot buddy:



But there is a PSP Harvest Moon game that does fit his description that I had no idea existed. Check out Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon.



Looks like fun!

And here's a screenshot of Rockman Dash for the PSP.



Looks kinda stretched!

Big difference.

When she got the game she was sad becase I ordered the wrong one and innocent life is the one she was wanting. Yeah, right. Anyways, Innocent Life has a EU and US release approaching. So she doesn't need the import.

Oh man I'm sorry! I didn't know you already got it. I thought it was something that you were just looking into. But yeah, Innocent Life looks pretty neat.

Jump Ultimate Stars is $30 at Play-Asia this week.

Should I purchase it? I do not know.

If you don't have Jump Superstars I'd recommend probably making the buy. I haven't played this one, but I'd assume that this is the same thing but with more characters and, although I liked the first one, I've been trying not to buy sequels that are just more of the same thing unless I've actually finished the predecessor.

I had way more fun with Jump Superstars than I should have! I imagine that Ultimate is just better. Though, I don't really want the sequel because of how much time I played the first one. If you really want, I'm pretty sure that I still have a sealed copy of the first one that I could unload on you cheap or for a simple trade of sorts.

20% off all in-stock stuff at Play-Asia until the 12th!

Arrgh! I need to buy stuff before it all sells out!

edit: I'll probably be picking up Orbital, and Tsuukin Hitofude is an astonishing $7!

Once again the two things I really, really wanted to buy (GP2x, Golden PSP) are not in stock >: |

Rhythm Tengoku isn't part of this deal, either.

Just so you know, I picked up a $10 new copy of Polarium GBA at gamestop about 2 months ago now. You might check on that.

With shipping, that's still $2 more than I'm paying.

Also, I am in Canada.

Also, the Japanese boxes are nicer.

Also, Club Nintendo points that I can never redeem.

Some of the Sega Ages volumes are $21! Unfortunately, that doesn't include Tetris Collection and Dynamite Deka, so I'm all mildly bummed out.

Year Of The Rat Lucky Sale at Play-Asia this week.

Not as great as previous sales I think, but still some bargains - Salamander Portable at $19.99 (as is TwinBee Portable) and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 at $29.99 again.

20% off sale at Play-Asia again!

I am going to be skint as a result.

Can't knock it, really If you're missing, say, one of the Bit Generations Titles, for example, Ouendan 2 at $23? Quite excellent.

Why does it say 20% of ALL in-stock items when only SOME in-stock items are marked down?

I post about this every time it happens, but 25% off sale at Play-Asia again!

Some decent picks as usual though you have to dig - Phoenix Wright 3 for $14.93 (Japanese version, but it's in English), Wii Classic Controllers are the same price if you want one, Every Extend Extra for PSP is only $7.43.

Bit Generations are cheap too, as usual.

I'm probably going to pick up Phoenix Wright 3, Parodius Portable and maybe some discounted toys and stuff.

Oh, and Japanese Bangai-O Spirits is a mere $22.43.

Bit dissapointing this time around, it doesn't included systems and most of the good stuff isn't part of the sale. Think I'll pass this time around.

I passed too, but I also preordered Rhythm Tengoku Gold and the Korg DS thing at full price while looking.

You win this round, Play-Asia! Damn you!

So there's another sale on a Play-Asia. this one's for 15%, which isn't quite as good as it has been before, but there are still some decent deals, such as the Phantasy Star Complete Collection at only $24.

Trying to resist buying Seaman 2, but will probably pick up Phoenix Wright 3, finally, because I didn't pick it up last time.

Can you remove the mic part that sticks out? It looks like it would unbalance the feel of the pad. If it's molded on then that's fine, I'd just probably use it for fighters and stuff on PC too is all.

Well, I read on Neogaf that it was removable so have spent 16 on the game+controller.

Hooray! I'll probably even play Seaman 2, even though my Japanese is (yes) caveman level.
