Okay, the question is: Buy now or buy later? I.e. should I wait for the (probably dirt cheap) US version or just import the Japanese one?

Reviews: 9/10, 10/10

Epic Win? (y/y)

Save the money and buy it later. You will be helping the 3rd party sales in North America and save you from reading a slew of menu navigation faqs. Don't forget, for the money you spend on an import copy, you could purchase a whole slew of Wii Ware games or VC titles.

Really, it's only a three month wait after all.

Patients.

They added a bunch of new levels to the US version.

18$ (possibly less if Play Asia takes 35 instead of 30$) doesn't buy much, that's 11.5 Euros so 1150 Wii points...

That should be enough for Lost Winds, right?

I can't wait for this game. I'm a Treasure shooter whore. And after hearing about the way this game uses the DS microphone to swap levels created with the level editor, I was sold.

Aren't you glad you waited or should I ask again in 3-4 weeks?

I didn't have time to actually play this at E3, but I did see it demoed. Honestly, I couldn't wrap my head around it. There's a crazy feature where you can edit any level while you play it. So you can just pause any time, insert a boss character or erase some walls, and then unpause to play the revised level immediately.

Sounds pretty serious.

I just came back from a vacation, haven't even checked yet.

Seeing this game makes me want a Radient Silvergun remake badly.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2008, 08:39:30 PM »

Amen, brother.

bosshogx · « **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2008, 10:38:36 AM »

Anyone picked this up yet? Thoughts, reviews, opinions?!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:27:10 AM »

Everyone's waiting for the US release.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #14 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:58:45 PM »

Supposedly Amazon is going to put this in my hands on Friday.

Quoted for hilarity when Silks doesn't get the game for two months.

Oh, right, I should probably ready the money already, it takes a few days to arrive on the account I use for buying stuff at play asia...

bosshogx · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:07:35 PM »

A friend of mine picked it up from Gamestop this afternoon after I showed him some videos. Later on, he calls me to tell me he's starving. Confused, I asked him why and he said that he picked up Bangai-O and has been sitting in his car for the last 30 minutes playing it instead of getting something to eat.

BTW, turns out the PAL release is next week already, importing would take way too long so I'm going to pay those 15 Euros more...

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:26:23 PM »

Amazon shipped this out today, and it will arrive on the 18th. I love how the 2-Day Shipping means nothing from Amazon sometimes, because it actually means "2 Days from when we ship it, which may be the release date, but it could also be some undetermined point in the future depending on the level of demand for the game".

Amazon, you're trying my patience lately. Although, you did get Madden 09 to me on release day like you said you would, so you get daps for that.

I walked into the Gamestop up the street and picked up their only copy.

Oh yeah, here's my take on Madden:

Minor gripe: You really should direct people to the following URL.

http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/issues/comic_0058.html

The one you linked will have a different comic next week, so anyone who wants to see your comic will have to search for it manually (unless that's your evil plan to get readers to view multiple stripes and drive traffic to your site, in which case, by all means continue on).

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2008, 02:51:00 PM »

Well Silks amazon said my copy is coming on the 19th and according to USPS the package is in a USPS facility located 25 minutes away from me.

Heh. No my truly evil plan is to add a quote of yours with my link in it to increase it's awareness on the forums! Bwa ha ha ha ha!

Actually, the site creator told me that the /comic link will automatically change the base link once a new week passes. For example: I posted up a link to this weeks comic, 0058, even though the link ends in /comic. If I post the /comic link next week, but you click on the link in this thread, it will still link you to comic 0058. I don't fully understand it myself, it's all 1's and 0's to me.

So what's this I hear about being able to swap levels with the microphone?
