I am literally registering an account on this forum just to post in this thread.

The GameStop I went to today had over 600 copies of Modern Warfare 3 in their back room, or so I overheard. While it's understandable they'd not heard of Otomedius X, they didn't even seem to have any information on it in their system. I don't understand. I just...

Konami just insisted heavily that the game shipped today.

We'll know as soon as someone gets their hands on this. But I'd imagine so.

I kinda want this, and I kinda want the special edition for the dlc, but then i literally would have purchased an anime pillow over the internet and I don't know how I could live with myself after that.

edit: is that dlc actually worth it

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

It turns Anoa's Uniform from Detroit Lions blue to New York Giants blue.

Thats it.

You'll be fine after you snuggle up to the aforementioned anime pillow and realize you made the best choice ever.

It stops you getting switched to Metalion in the last level of story mode too.

Not exactly a huge selling point, but it does do something.

Hopefully that means it'll turn up somewhere by the end of the week. I remain skeptical though as this is the heavy release season and a title like Oto X has to be extremely low priority. Most likely you'll only see pre-orders filled with extra copies, if there are any, just kicking around in the back. Amazon hasn't even bothered switching to Shipping soon status.

I won't lie to you, After seeing how little it did to the available weapon loadout, I never tried story mode with her.

Although, a lack of switching to Hyper Anoa once the final stage starts is likely to be considered a bonus.

Went down to my local Gamestop after work to see if Otomedius Excellent was in, the GS associate said that it's suppose to be out today November 2nd, 2011. He said to check again either tomorrow or Friday with them to see if it finally ships it out (is gonna come via UPS, of course). Am glad I put down a $5 reserve for it, otherwise, it'd be slim pickings indeed.

I guess you'll be disappointed that now both the Standard and the CE is in stock for the time being, with more on the way.

Other than that, waiting mode for me too, as I guess its slowly coming in stores soon, hence the shipping limbo...

The game should be out this week considering I saw a free dlc add on in the xbox marketplace.

Exactly, but that's just the recolor Anoa compatibility pack for online co-op play for others players to see, hence it being a GS exclusive pre-order and JP limited edition code.

The rest of the DLC would/will be coming in the weeks/months ahead.

Geezus! We got those guys DFK, and this is what we're getting in return? No DS2. Not even Otomedius! I'll never talk to an American again! ;)

Well, besides the obvious region locking, here's a quick update from me.

Amazon now fully has stock of both versions, and Gamefly lists the game to rent as "Available Now", so it seems the game will be coming in retailers like Gamestop sometime soon.

Not trying to start anything, but wasn't this game shit? I thought everyone was saying this game was complete garbage when it first came out.

All the hate deterred me from even getting it... so why are people getting this again?

Because they want to/it, and whatever, I don't find the game bad, it good to me, at least, but to each their own opinion. To me, I find FPS's and other genres that I don't like are shit.

It's literally just Gradius, isn't it? If you like Gradius, I assume you'll like it; I love Gradius games, so it goes without saying.

Hopefully, it'll be at my GameStop when I head up there this weekend.

Everyone was saying that it was a shitty Gradius. Well I might check it out I guess, since it's much cheaper than the import version.
