    Man, I only just noticed the subliminal use of the word "sex" on that box art. No wonder it looks so sexy!

    Shiren 5? I wasn't even aware they made a Shiren 4(Which I looked up and is also on DS). Last I heard about was the Shiren 3 PSP port. I just wish someone would bring these stateside, I like my Shiren games portable and much preferred the remake of the first one published by Sega over Shiren 3 on the Wii that Atlus localized. Shiren 4 and 5 on DS, I want them.

    I'm trying to remember, but wasn't the sonic DS collection also a vanilla DS game? Because that was actually region locked. I'm thinking it may have also had DSi functionality though.

    It used the extra RAM in the DSi to give it a performance boost.

    So it's a dating sim with multiple people to date, however rather than just choose one at the start and rejecting the other 47 you reject the 47 you don't want first to choose just the one. That's amazing. I've never heard of a dating sim do that before on such a grand scale. Well done Bandai, you've actually managed to make a unique dating sim.

    No, console dating sims don't do that. Especially not a licensed one. Most likely you'll just see the models in bikinis. And it is for that reason blaze that this is of course not my dream game. I can play so many better ones! And just one? Pshaw, I want all 48!

    Ohhh baby, it's nearly time! But on a more critical level, I don't think I like this box art.

    1. Don't like gullwing doors
    2. Don't like the VR-themed car model where you can see through the body work onto the steering wheel, and how it changes the colour of the car towards to the back.

    Just a pretty car snapped from a typically pleasaing angle is all that should be required.

    Bam.

    http://www.destructoid.com/watch-the-dangan-ronpa-trailer-and-salivate-180778.phtml

    I promise you won't expect this.
    Holy crap. The other day, I posted a story about an upcoming PSP game called Dangan-Ronpa which seems to combine the premise of Battle Royale with gameplay derived from the Ace Attorney series. At that point, I was interested. Now that Spike has opened up a website for the game with a trailer, I'm am in full-on lust mode.

    The visual style is striking and has a kind of flair that reminds me of Persona 4. And the mini-game aspect looks promising too. The more I hear about this title, the more it sounds like they're taking all the best parts of things that I love or admire and squishing them together into a ball of concentrated awesome.

    I dare you to watch that and tell me that it doesn't get your blood pumping. I double-dog dare you. This game must see US release. Do you hear me XSEED? Atlus? Somebody needs to get on this pronto.

    Unfortunately another one that Square'll never localize; it's a shame since that was my favorite of the "FF Legends" bunch as opposed to the random cluster-luck that was SaGa 2. Right now they're probably pouring all their resources into FFXIV damage control.
