Wow, You lucky swines. I hope it gets a Euro release.

Or a region free release...

Am I the only one that have sent emails to microsoft, sega and every other connected to this asking for a release in western countries, complaining about the region locking etc? I was really pisse of at that haha.

Well, they were one of the first retail sources to list the US release of Radio Allergy (albeit with an incorrect release date).

Let's hope these rumors turn out better than the ones regarding TSS:Petite Princesse from awhile back. Wonder if anyone'll spring to bring the Senko batch of full-body pillows stateside?

That wasn't a rumour. SNK NEO-GEO USA had announced the release of TSS:LPP themselves. Later on, they then dropped the release of the game stating that there wasn't enough support for the genre.

I'm suprise Ubisoft is publishing the title.

After all they did publish other 2D games on different systems (Exit for PSP).

neojma · Post by **neojma** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 6:32 pm

I'm assuming you mean "not surprised" Ubi is publishing it.

I was sort of hoping they would come through, as they've also done so with some other Japanese-origin 360 games.

Energy Airforce by Taito (renamed to Over G Fighters) Shutokou Battle X from Genki (renamed to the incredibly bland Import Tuner Challenge) were also picked up by Ubi.

I'm hoping they target Kengo Zero next, game looks great from the lengthy trailer/gameplay video on the Japanese Live site.

Being a french company, I'd be tres étonnant if Ubisoft kept it USA-only.

Yeah, I used babelfish. .Bissou my derriére.

Most US 360 games don't have region lock-out. Importing it shouldn't be an issue.

hermosaguy · Post by **hermosaguy** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 10:42 pm

That is the main reason I imported a Japanese 360. The lag from playing overseas sucks (and me not being so good at it becomes really embaressing) but its alot of fun and I would pick it up again if it came stateside.

If this is true, you guys will have to prepare yourselves for me, as I will try to destroy any contenders within a 6000 mile radius from my house.*

This is probably going to be the third time I'm going to get this game if this is the case.

*If I have any free time. School's getting in the way at the moment.

Great news. The only thing preventing me from getting the japanese version was the region lock. Sucks that Project Sylpheed is region locked also.

Senko No Rondo? I'm suddenly reminded of Recap all over again.

icepick · Post by **icepick** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 5:47 am

Wow. This is fantastic! I thought that this game looked really interesting and enjoyable when it was in development, and I was slightly disappointed yet understanding when it turned out to be ported to the X360 (thus going against the trend of "very few NAOMI titles not ending up on DC").

Basically, it looks like I'll be buying this game and meeting some new friends. Friends with an X360.

Yes.

I'll wait for the PAL release, though.

finally

I get to try it out

I think it'll be a blind purchase

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 2:21 pm

I'll definitely get this, even though fighters are not my thing.

Does anyone know what sorts of XBOX Live options this game supports?

Bullocks! I just got the Koren version (was waiting to get a J360) and now it comes to the US. This is cool I will save money on getting a console. I am looking forward to finally play this game. I am a G.rev fan boy! Hail to Border Down and Under Defeat!

That's how it's phonetically pronounced, actually.

360 just jumped from a "want" to a "need".

Ditto. I never thought I'd get the chance to play this.

Still, the name change disturbs me slightly. And will they use English VAs?
