IN AMERICA. NOW.


No but seriously, I would buy a 3DS just for tales of the abyss. (and ocarina and super mario kart) but mainly this game. THIS GAME

[Lady Mushroom]

This is more important to me than Ocarina or Mario Kart. I have played Ocarina already and although I liked it it wasn't as good as Link's Awakening to me. I found all the greens and browns a bit wearying after a time - I like my games bright and colorful! Mario Kart I love, but I have it on Wii and I don't have any other 3DS owners to play with.


Tales is a great series though. I really want this.

[TGM]

I would buy it in a heartbeat... if it was Symphonia. Instead it'll take me two heartbeats.

[ymeegod]

Love it, the one Tales game they decided to bring out in the states is the port from the ps2.

Bleh.

Instead of this game I rather have one of those other Tale games that never made it stateside like Graces.

[Ceric]

I didn't notice before but GoldenEye 007 on the charts is sort of interesting.
