I found this thing at the flea market today for a buck, apparently new.



It's ugly as hell and I'm not a baseball fan, but eh, I'll stick it on my desk so it doesn't look less cluttered than usual.

I also got a wallscroll.



Again, it was a buck. It's a bit beat up in the edges... and to be honest I'm not sure what I'll do with it considering I don't even like Sonic. I'll probably trade it away or something.

@Kimimi:

Seeing Foxhack's image of Sonic (in the above post) made me curious/reminded me about the art work that you'd been doing...

...How's it been going - have you done anything new and/or different lately or completed any of your 'commisions'?!

Etrian Odyssey IV came in today. So I promptly opened it up to rip the CD... and there is no manual?! BOOoooooo.

[scott]

Actually looking again, there are no Nintendo advertising flyers. No club Nintendo things. Nothing in there but the cart. Wtf?

[jobocan]

Also got my Etrian Odyssey IV. Well... turns out bestbuy.ca didn't have any in stock for pre-orders even though I pre-ordered it months ago, so I cancelled my pre-order and went to buy it at Best Buy... LOGIC!

Also received Hatsune Miku on Vita because... I feel sorry for the Vita so I bought a japanese game I have no idea if I'll like just to have something to play on it. w00!

Same here, just the stupid health booklet that Nintendo insists on cramming into every device known to civilization. I'd been expecting the artbook to be physical too, but oh well... extra free stuff, can't complain too much.

Yeah, he said it all:  "Well, this is kinda disappointing."

Feels like mixed messages...
"Buy the physical product, get a artbook/CD thing!"
"Buy the physical product, and we'll just give you the game.  That's all you wanted, right?  Yeah, there you go. Blurgh."

The thin artbook isn't a replacement for the manual.  Which makes me feel worse for the unknowing folks who buy the second printing...

Remembered that Nintendo allow you to use foreign cards on their eshop, so I bought myself the new Animal Crossing on 3DS

I really can't wait for that to come to the States...

The worst part is EO III had a sweet manual, and other info pamphlets in it. Kinda like how old RPGs were, and I was really expecting the same thing from EOIV. But on this one, I really kinda feel let down by Atlus. Hell, Code of Princess had a pretty thick manual and that didn't come out too long ago.

Makes me wonder what kind of treatment SMT: DS: Soul Hackers is going to get now...  :'(

[insektmute]

I can deal if Soul Hackers is a little barebones, but someone's gonna get shanked if SMT4 isn't enough to make all of us do ninja moves of glee. Still bothers me that one isn't going to be a console release, too - SMT4, 1080p, 60fps. Make it happen, Atlus... or at least put it on Vita because dat OLED screen.

I'm a little annoyed that PS2:EP won't be a physical release and that it's a straight port to PSN.  So much Persona love out there... I hope something eventually happens for that title in the future.

[insektmute]

Yeah, I was rather bummed about that, too. I have it on PS1, but really would've liked to have at least one platform where Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin and properly joined, so to speak.

Well, without learning Japanese, anyway. Le sigh.

Same.

Also chomping at the bit for some SMT-Goodness (either SMT IV and/or Persona V will do just fine, thankee-sai)...

...ON. A. CONSOLE; dammit!!!

Bonus points if it's on a console that I already *own*

Hell, If I had *MY* way - both games would be released for both the PS3 & the PS4 simultaneously

ATLUS, Make It So
