Strania is good shit. No regrets in buying that one. ^__^

Has anyone gotten a copy of Espgaluda II Black Label (Platinum Collection) yet, or heard if it is region free? It is still showing "?" on Play-Asia... I really want to get it but unfortunately I can't swing a JP X360 anytime soon if it is JP only.

According to NCSX it is region free. That said, I don't know if they're simply assuming but an email would answer it.

In other shmup news, I didn't get my games today so no weekend of shooting for me :(

I'll just play some Raiden Fighters instead.

Espgaluda ii platinum was confirmed region free:

I need to order Mushihimesama Futari and Espgaluda II still. Should keep me busy for a bit.

Eschatos is pretty good. Very simple with no real power ups to speak of (unless they're in the alternate versions). I'm reminded of Trizeal but I think that's just the graphics talking. It has been forever since I played Trizeal. Judgement Silversword is jaw-dropping given the fact that it's a Wonderswan game. It might be better than Eschatos.

Mushihimesama Futari is beautiful. I only got to play it for like 10 minutes but wow, I'm looking forward to much more of it.

Any game that reminds me of Trizeal = bad game.

I might have to pick up Trouble witches.

According to Play Asia, the compatiblity is unknown. (They have ? by compatibility)

It's mostly the graphics. They're sort of intentionally retro-simple. It looks better/is better than Trizeal. And the more I play Judgement Silversword, the more it is obvious that Eschatos is meant to be its big brother sequel. I think I paid 78.90 + shipping for it which is about par for imports nowadays.

Played Trouble Witches demo yesterday and liked it, but it seems like it is missing some polish to me.

I'll DL when I find deals on points. I doubt it'll ever go on sale - SNK games never do.

Trouble Witches is ok, but damn the VA is annoying.

Apparently the European release of DoDonPachi dai fukkatsu (DDP: Resurrection) will be playable on North American xboxes! $65 plus shipping from ncsx.

Another option might be hmv.com, which is ~35 pounds shipped. Amazon.co.uk is ~30 pounds shipped. I'll probably try that later tonight.

Nice. I wonder if it'll get a cheaper Platinum rerelease down the road.

oh sweet! Resurrection!!

I bought Jamestown waaaaay back in the days, during the last crazy Steam sale.

like all Steam games, it just sits there in a list never to be downloaded ever lol.

a list worth at least $100 -_-

My stuff has been downloaded, played for 10 minutes, and subsequently forgotten about.

Sort of off-topic but I think part of the problem with digital distribution is that there isn't a box sitting on a shelf in your house saying, "Play me dude, you paid $30 for me!"

I couldn't tell you what Steam games I own right this second, but I can look up at my bookshelf and tell you all the 360/PS3 games I've bought since late May.
