I've had a lot going on IRL lately, so that's why the updates have been more sporadic. Just finished updating tho, so let me know if i missed anything. Going to try to keep on top of it through TGS - wish me luck! ;)

Hopefully TGS will give us some solid info on Persona 5. :D

I'm expecting a release date and assuming there's going to be a CE, details of that. If we don't get those 2 things I'm going to be very disappointed.

It would be nice to see a new trailer as well, not the same one they seem to keep showing us.

Once I get "sold" on a game I don't like to watch any more trailers for it. Prefer to keep as much of the game as possible a surprise. :)

No worries!  Definitely nice that you're doing all this work - it's much appreciated, and totally understandable about IRL stuff.  Those things matter first, really :)

Sweet!  I told the bf about GS maybe having in-store preorders yesterday after I saw your post yesterday about it.  He came from work saying that he wasn't able to get one, but I noticed he had a hard time keeping a smirk off his face.  He ended up pulling out a receipt for the preorder along with a preorder he put in for Yoshi's Wooly World bundle with the amiibo <3 (http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games/yoshis-woolly-world-amiibo-bundle/125422)

I had no idea preorders were already open for it, and neither did he until he told his coworker he needed to preorder something. Their first response was, "Let me guess, Yoshi's Wooly World?" hahah  ::)

EDIT: It looks like the special edition is back up on Gamestop again for anyone who missed it and would prefer to get it from GS: http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games/xenoblade-chronicles-x-special-edition/125408

Niiice. So tempting. I'm not really interested in the game, but the amiibo is awfully cute :)

Gravity Rush Remastered has been announced for release on the PS4 in North America on February 9th and in Europe a day later. It's like Sony is trying to kill off the Vita by porting some of its best exclusives to the PS4. First Tearaway, now this. :-\ Oh well, the Vita was pretty much dead to Sony already in NA anyways. :'(

Hopefully with the new Vita colors and cross-platform ps4/vita games, the Vita will still have a few gems before it goes.  But yeah... no exclusives, and who knows if any of that stuff will come to NA.

And what the heck... no Persona 5 screens/release date  :'(

Out of all it's new colour variants, North America is unfortunately only getting the blue Vita (and it's a GameStop exclusive). I have some interest in buying it since it'll match my blue PSP 2000 (and I've yet to buy a 2000 model Vita), but I don't think it's really going to get a whole lot of people interested in the system at this point. I'd say it still has a few more years at best in NA just from all the JRPGs and other Japanese stuff that seems to be getting a fair amount of support from third-party developers and publishers.

And what the heck... no Persona 5 screens/release date  :'(

We should hopefully hear something regarding P5 on the 19th.

Atlus has announced Stella Glow's launch edition. It comes with a "song magic" music CD, a "cloth poster", and what I'm assuming is a rubber cell phone strap type thing. Of course, it all comes in a fancy outer box. Atlus' launch bonuses seem to be getting better and better lately, which is nice since they've also been getting more expensive too.

Persona 5 got delayed to Summer 2016 in Japan, this isn't a good sign for the North American release. :'(

Yeah, but that trailer is so good! I can wait if it will be as good as it looks.


Also, this gives me time to finish 3 and 4 ...    ::)
