GalGun Double Peace is coming to the rest of the world in English in a move to bring over the one Japanese game everyone was clamoring for

GalGun would be cute if it weren’t so sleazy.

Having played the demos for both, I think that there is a decent game buried under there but I don’t have enough time to wash off all the shame.

Will buy.

In actual good news, http://3dclassics.sega.com/

Haha right after I imported them :confused: They should have bundled Vol 1 and 2 together. Hope we won’t wait long for a Vol 3 with Sonic2/Gunstar Heroes/SOR2, but there might be more unannounced that M2 has in the pipeline to be included in a future cart. M2 did say they were done with the 3D classics though.

Space Harrier on the physical cart has updated 3D, a faster rapid-fire option and button mapping (!!!)

Also it’s weird that Super Hang-On is not on either JP cart.

Also also Fantasy Zone 1 SMS is on the JP cart but not on the NA/EU one. Probably being held back for the other bundle, which did have the 3D update of FZ1-arcade.

You’re better off with those Import copies id think since this is just Vol 2 from Japan being relased as a Vol. 1 (essentially) here in NA. While for me personally, since ive bought all the eShop NA releases, I am happy because I want Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2, Maze Walker and SMS FZ2 – not sure for the mass audience this makes sense as the only physical release when they could have done JP’s Vol 1 instead and have more recognizable titles.

Also, isn’t there some hidden games if you own both of the JP Volumes?

Yeah, Wikipedia says SMS FZ1 is unlocked on Vol 2 if it detects Vol 1 save data. That might explain why it’s not on the official NA list…probably hidden behind a code or needing you to buy another Sega product to get it.

Maybe Vol 2 got released first because Sonic.

I’m more confused than ever as to what is actually happening here

I’d like to claim to not understand why we can’t talk about regressive Japanese gender politics (let alone actual issues of censorship that are not this) without the context of ā€œYOU DIDN’T FAITHFULLY LOCALIZE MY PRECIOUS VIDEOGAMEā€ except I’m pretty sure I understand it perfectly

censorship is not censorship when it is voluntary and i agree with it

I don’t actually enjoy making fun of these people, it’s just depressing

I don’t what I’m more disappointed about, Nintendo removing the dumb thing or Nintendo putting the dumb thing in to begin with

Not that I was buying the game anyway, so why do I even care

this has been my response to more or less the entirety of the internet for the last five years or so

Not really news, but I saw this: http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2016/01/sega-twitter-teases-valkyria.html and for some reason my brain went ā€˜Sega = Creative Assembly/Relic’ and I got really hype for a RTS : (
