The closest to relevant thing I could scrape up for this week is the new Aliens VS Predator game. Aliens are pretty cool, the Predator is pretty cool too, but something never goes quite right when they get mashed together. It's probably all those bald space marines getting in the way. Or the fact that any story one may come up with for why those two factions would meet, could only ever be a razor thin excuse for violence. Either way, they're almost always boring as hell. I know SEGA's name is on the box, but I don't know who's ultimately responsible for this. Either way, pass.
This weekend we'll get a few paragraphs, and lousy pictures, about the new crane game machines from the Amusement Operators Union trade show. Next week is looking brighter. At least in terms of quantity, if not quality. US gets Last Rebellion. It's by Idea Factory. I don't even know if this one is out in Japan yet. Don't really care anymore, either. Most importantly, ESP Galuda II Black Label is hitting the 360. Oddly enough, the standard edition will be region free, so bitches can stop bitching, but the LE will be region locked, so bitches can keep on bitching. In other shooting news, Radirgy Noa is hitting the Wii on Thursday. Shooters for everybody, except the PS3, lolz. Then on Friday I get to buy a new DVD. Why am I still buying DVD's in the year 2010 Japan? At least Hong Kong figured that shit out by now.
How embarrassing: Whoops! I totally forgot that Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition is hitting PS3 in Japan this week. Mainly since it was a complete waste of time and money until about Thursday of last week, when Barry Burton was revealed as a guest character in the new Mercenaries mode. Since the mainline RE game seems to get watered down more and more with each new iteration, Mercenaries is emerging as the biggest reason to pick up these games. Plus Barry is fucking awesome. The J-360 is not getting AE on a disc, but all the extras will (allegedly) be available as DLC. To celebrate instead, RE5 is getting the Platinum treatment. The game arrives as Gold Edition in America sometime in March, across both platforms. (The 360 Gold Edition disc will not contain the additional content. lol DVD.)
Also: Nippon Ichi's Classic Dungeon. Gonna wait on this one.
