Yeah, I'll +1 the name change. All the people who don't want the thread change have the Link Posts Only option, so they won't have any reason to complain after the change.

Man, I don't know why Amazon hired Nintendo of America to write their product descriptions.

:ds: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (A) $12.76 (LN) $15.31

Atelier Escha & Logy Plus Limited Edition for  :vita: is up on NIS America's store for $54.99.

By that point I would hope that anyone still playing the game would have lost interest in a stupid gimmick like an uncomfortable piece of plastic, one that doesn't even have any use other than housing your phone so that you can play Donkey Kong in nasty green colors.

Limited Run games just updated their site and put Breach and Clear on sale for $24.99:

There's always someone a game will appeal to, but I would definitely consider a couple of series on the Vita to be shovelware. There's a certain series with outright awful writing and constant asset reuse, and they manage to pump the games out at an insane pace. We've gotten 4 Hyperdimension...

It was available at MSRP ($40) for the longest time, then Amazon suddenly restocked it at $30 for no apparent reason, which is when I picked my copy up. It's out of print now, so your best bet would be to pick up a copy from a third-party seller on Amazon for $43.90 which is probably about the...

I didn't say that I considered the Vita's library to be made up of shovelware, only that an extensive number of almost exclusively niche releases caused most people to view the library that way.

I regularly see Vitas (Slim/OLED) from $100-120 on AWD (both dingers and trade-ins) and used Vitas bundled with games and memory cards at that same price range on eBay. $150 is more than fair if you are very interested in getting a Vita and prefer new, but otherwise I would spring for a used...

Bethesda outsourced Fallout: New Vegas to a studio called Obsidian Entertainment, essentially a restructured Black Isle Studios (creators of Planescape: Torment and Fallout 1/2). Since Bethesda insists on using an incredibly shitty 10 year old engine (same engine Morrowind was on, of course...

They still haven't shipped my PS2 copy of this game that I paid < $0.50 for.

Ar Nosurge has had 3 restocks in the past month, and it's still not marked as OOS on the site. At least that's the number of times my page monitor has gone off since I set it mid-September, so it could be more.

I kind of expected this, considering that they had to pay for UPS shipping to my address from 30+ stores to ship a bunch of games that cost me $0.45 on average.

Tactics Ogre: LUCT is phenomenal. The PSP remake of FFT is solid as well, although the slowdown is unbearable if you played the original. There are quite a few other decent PS1 titles too (Front Mission 3 and Arc the Lad 2/3).
