Aww, yeah!

Less than a week until HDN Noire drops  ;D

Anyone else got it pre-ordered and/or planning on picking her up?

Help me decide, my fellow niche-ers

==> I've got my next game (which, will also be, my 1st Vita game played on my big-screen with my DS3; via my PSTV)

narrowed-down to 2.

HDN Noire

and

Criminal Girls.

cast yer votes + give yer thoughts

here Demon Gaze!

 :)

oh ye of Zero Mind...that wasn't an option  :P

I made it an option since it's so great. :D

The big news today is the localization of Dragon Quest Heroes, the first Dragon Quest game to get localized for NA since DQ Monsters Joker 2 in 2011. :o We're only getting the PS4 version here, no PS3 version, but it's better than nothing. :)

Anybody else have trouble with NIS support not emailing you back? It's been over 2 days since support was "reviewing my request" and I've heard nothing. All I know is that everyone has their game now, and they've yet to acknowledge my update request.

Yup, I was VERY happy to read about this this morning. :D And who wants the inferior version of the game anyway? :P

EDIT:  I also update the quantities remaining on the NISA limited editions. Of note is that there are less than 10% remaining of the ultimate edition of the Awakened Fate Ultimatum. Also, the LE of Atelier Shallie is sold out - but if you want it, remember that a few usually pop back in-stock around the Friday before the game's release day, so keep an eye on their site then!

It took them a long time to get back to me about the gift certificate thing, but it eventually got resolved.

For me it seems to take a lot longer to hear back from their customer service since their huge website update. They've even been taking longer to ship stuff than usual. I only just got my shipping confirmation for the Hotaru no Nikki LE a couple days ago, even though they usually ship preorders a lot earlier. It might take a little longer than usual, but you should hear from them soon.

Approx. how long is the first one? I picked it up not too long ago but have't gotten around to it yet.

It's relatively short, I completed all the routes in roughly 25 hours of gameplay (I skipped through previously read text when replaying). I probably spent another ~3-5 hours getting the platinum trophy. I'm sure how accurate those estimates are though, since the save files don't actually tell you how long you've been playing for.

I was wondering too, since I haven't even received a message acknowledging my payment, nevermind shipping it  :-\ I guess they'll ship the LEs first, but I'm still a bit worried. People have been getting theirs since last week and I haven't heard anything at all.

Hm, I got an email a bit ago for shipping and for acknowledgment of my payment (separate emails, I believe), and I received #HtoL the day before release date :/

Yaaay! Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 has been announced for release on the 3DS. ;D I'm glad that the awesome original will be seeing a sequel. No release date or price has been announced yet, and it will probably be digital-only like the last one, :'( but I'm excited anyways. :D

I saw that release date this morning (and am sad to say I think I'll be buying that game again :P) but where did you hear about another LE?
