I don't mind video game people. I just don't like j-pop artists there, because they're awful at talking shop, and you have to pay a fortune to import their music so you can even know if you like them. That, and it's an anime convention, and they rarely have anything to do with anime. Video game people at least hire anime industry types to work on their projects. Anyway, you do know that Go Nagai's stuff helped pave the way for modern shojo as much as Tezuka's stuff, right? Oh, and last time I checked, Koike wrote Lady Snowblood. BTW, David Hayter was the biggest draw at last year's AX, and everyone (old-timers and new gen fans) likes him.
Probably playing a game, since you might actually score with women at a real one. Also, you still haven't honored Yu Suzuki's parting w/ Sega, dammit. 
As for why Bastard!! ain't more popular in America, I'm guessing it's because it's mostly metal porn. And anime fans don't even listen to j-rock, so why would they bother with cliches that even Lars discarded ages ago? The game appears to swipe its battle system from the DBZ fighting games for the Famicom, though. [You should profile those one day, btw.] |

Umm, didn't expect to see this get by the editors. Still, I love Guilty Gear, and everything that can be said about the series sure was put in that article. I wish it could have taken off more over here, because the only time I have seen an Accent Core machine at all has been at AX. They're probably around here in Southern California somewhere but I'd have to do an awful lot of driving. |

Pathetic or not, this game (or more like a sim) is perfect for a gentleman like myself just looking to spend quality time with a lady!
And, I'm deperate and lonely. Give and take... Lots of cool games came out for the DS. I loved Etrian Oddesyys, so Dark Spire looks right up my alley. Retro Game Challenge, while the intial game was short, the free-play games offers loads or replay value. I don't think Core has been released, yet. My DSLite was stolen recently, but I bought the DSi. It's pretty cool, but I wouldn't recommended DS/Lites owners to grab one right away. There are a few convenient upgrades, but one thing that irked me was the volume control. I really liked the slide-switch instead of the button features they put on the DSi, but it's just a personal thing. |

Nagai was essentially trolling the PTA. Every time he got a complaint about something, he want out of his way to add in something even worse for the next issue. |

Hmmm that Naruto game seems mildly interesting as a side scroller. Will have to keep an eye on it. Always love a good platformer. Decent ones are okay too. Frustrating ones are love hate.

Dream C Club looks pretty good just to bad it has to be Xbox 360. If it was on PS3 I would import it without knowing Japanese since the chances a game like this will come to America are well 0.00000000%. It's all about 1st person shooter games in America.*sarcastic remark* Oh and Arcana Heart 2 please come to America with or without loading times.

He's always using the "eff word", it's just typically in the text you get if you roll over an image instead of in the actual article (The image text is one of my most favorite things about The X Button). ANN seems to have gotten lax on what kind of language the collumn writers use. Hell, look at the "Chicks on anime" collumn. Entire articles for that are filled with language I'd never thought I'd read here. Not that it's a bad thing. Some colorful language can help add to articles, imo. |

A Bastard!! game, haha, what timing for The X Button. I just finished reading the the 4th volume of the manga too. Have to say considering the content of the series, a fighter or an RPG wouldn't come across as totally strange. But it's still weird when I think about it.

This article pushed my desire to play GG past the line, and I wound up playing Accent Core by myself on the Wii. I haven't played it in about a year, but it's even better than I remember it being. God, I wish I had people to play that game with. I've more or less been with the series since X, but no one in NE PA likes good video games...no one I know anyway.

The home port of AH2 was a total disaster: issues included pixelated sprites and heavy slowdown throughout gameplay that makes the game nearly unplayable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0buhp43BK8E Examu knew all this and their official response was that it wasn't really a problem. From the looks of the situation, they wanted to reap the double reward of a) selling a console version of their game b) still raking in cash from the hardcore arcade crowd who can't practice on their inadequate home version of the game. The "protect our arcade money" theory is further corroborated by the fact that Examu released an out-of-date version of the game, on top of it being broken in all those other ways. Unless Atlus were to do a serious fix, you probably don't want it, and you probably shouldn't support people with such contempt for their customers in the first place (but then people do love haruhi oh hoho). Of course, in a final bit of irony, the game runs just fine on an emulator. If you have the PC for it, that's your only option. |

I've always thought Guilty Gear to be one of the most accessible 2D fighters to newbies around and Street Fighter to actually one of the least. At higher levels, it certainly is more complicated with all of the high end mechanics, but at the base level, anyone even remotely familiar with a 2D fighter from the 16-bit era can play well in the first few minutes.
- Each of the characters has a ton of moves compared to Street Fighter, giving a great deal more variation to attack patterns. This means a lot less reliance on knowing the exact frame count of a move, which moves are faster than others (because a LOT of different moves can be faster in GG). - A complete amateur to GG can play fairly well against an average player using only the basic moves. For some characters, the standard moves don't do all that much more damage than some of the special moves, they just simply are not as flashy. - Most importantly, the games have always been very forgiving on controller/arcade stick input. Street Fighter, on the other hand, is completely unforgiving. One of the better tricks in the Guilty Gear series is to simply perform some of the inputs faster, and more often than not, the game will recognize what you are attempting to do and go through with it. If you have a few extra directions in there, Guilty Gear forgives you. Guilty Gear wants to see you shine. Street Fighter demands absolute perfection; SF4 in particular is for all practical purposes, close to unplayable without an arcade stick. |

Oh noez, someone said a swear word on the internet. Call the police! I'm getting Accent Core Plus and DW: Gundam 2, because I like both games. In the case of Dream C Club, that might be fun to play, but this is America, we don't get alot of cool stuff like Japan does, and we won't get this. Thats a given. |
