Atlus has announced that they're localizing Lost Dimension (PS Vita) for North America some time this summer. :) I'm glad to hear this, since I thought it looked pretty interesting when it came out in Japan a while ago.

Here's the game's first localization trailer

Here's a video of some gameplay too, to give you an idea of what the game plays like.

I have been interested in this one. Thanks for posting the gameplay video. Didn't know much about it, but now it looks like yet another one I need to play  ;D

That's odd, I didn't do anything different from what I usually do for embedding stuff here. ??? Thanks for the fix. :)

Updated the OP. Also, Lost Dimension is coming out for the Vita AND PS3. ;)

Not adding it to the list because it's not Japanese, but I think this will appeal to most of us here. There's a physical version of Child of Light coming to the Vita in NA in a couple of weeks, on 3/24! Looks like it's retailing for $20.

Oh, good to know! Though it retails for $15 on Steam :/

I was really hoping to have a physical copy of this at some point, but someone's already gifted me the Steam version.  Maybe I'll try to pick up the retail box if it goes on sale/is cheap just to have it.

Also, have folks already received their copies of Shallie?  I was annoyed to get an email from them on the 11th that they needed me to do the PayPal thing.  So it'll be a while longer before I get it, I'm sure.  Just annoying that they didn't contact me sooner about it.  I checked my emails to see if maybe I missed an earlier email from them about it but nothin'.

Same - received my copy on Wednesday, too.

But, I pre-ordered mine from Amazon (and with Prime)...I'm assuming the Paypal problem = pre-ordering from N1; right?

Also:  what's this

Lost Dimension game like & about?

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere here, let alone announced anywhere else, so I apologise if I'm just repeating what someone else has posted and/or if this isn't the right place to ask...



A Tales of Symphonia Chronicles + Tales of Graces Compilation which seems to be going for about £15 on preorder. Only on Rice Digital the release date says 27th of March, whilst on two other stores it says 3rd of April.

Anyone else heard of this?

I haven't, but I only track NA releases. I don't know WHAT you guys are up to "on the other side of the pond". :P

I see :<
I thought it might have a NA release as well, but couldn't find any other versions, which is why I asked. It'd be odd if it was EU only.

Ouch - S-E just listed the CE for FF XIV: Heavensward on their website, and it's a whopping $130. :o It only comes w/ a dragon mount statue, art book & "additional content disk" - plus the expected exclusive digital junk, of course. So the statue is the big draw here. It looks cool, but given that the expansion by itself is only $40, it doesn't look $90 cool. Especially since I'll have to buy 2 copies (one for my wife as well) and it's a game w/ a subscription fee....nope, not happening.

I may not even get this one at release, if the Xenoblade Chronicles X rumored release date is true (supposedly 3 days after this comes out). ::)

A limited edition exclusive to an online retailer has been announced for Steins;Gate in Europe. I'm not sure if North America will get something like this or not, but it's import friendly not only because the PS3 & Vita aren't region locked, but this retailer offers "free worldwide shipping <3" (according to their article on the game). According to their listing, the game is due to be released this May. I haven't heard any confirmation of a release date anywhere else, but it might be fairly accurate.
