I'd definitely buy it.

On the minus side, they get all sorts of crap that never comes over here in addition to all sorts of extra awesome that never comes over here.

Yeah I agree with you, Kratos. Japan has some cool games that you hear about or fine about over the internet which sounds interesting but then we never get it over here for some reason.

That sorta... Wasn't the point at all... I was commenting about how everyone says Japan has it great because they get games earlier and get more games, but they also get way more really lousy stuff than we do in addition to the great stuff we don't get.

so basically, it sounds like japan is a huge filter for merchandise to north america. i wonder who is in charge of deligating which products go where?

Maybe I didn't look hard enough on the site, but i would like to see how you interact with the game. On one hand, it would be really bitchin' to actually sword fight with the villians on screen. on the other hand, I don't know how the game mechanics work, so it may not be very responsive.

A funny side effect is that I picture some dude in his tiny apartment knocking over the lamp!

ooh! this just popped in my head: what if they made the same thing for Tenchu? the whole slitting of the throat thing would be wild.

Yeah, I heard about this a while ago.

While I can't say that I have much desire for this, I DID want the FFX-2 guns when I found out about them. I guess we're all a bit strange.

Well, there WAS this arcade game where you attacked stuff on-screen by waving a sword around. I tried it once, it was 3$ and I was unable to hit anything. Yay.

it looks like it would be rather fun, but i dont get how you would walk around in game, unless the sword went in the 2nd port, and the controller went in 1st, and you switch when you go to battle.

Sounds interesting. Would you happen to remember what it was called? I may have heard of it...

This is eerie, I had a dream semirecently of some kind of Kingdom Hearts game that controlled the same way, and even though it should of been a keyblade I think I was actually holding a sword, like that one....

It's DDR with your hands.

Well, maybe not rhythm based but there must be a pattern to the madness. Actually looks interesting... as long as there's more than 20-30 minutes of gameplay to get out of the thing.

OK, my bad.

DDR with your arms, and not in a constant up-down motion on an object.
