Pretty much my reaction. To me, it don't look much worse than my local train stations, although those get a new coat of paint every 20 years or so.

I keep reading this title as "Secrets from the Mana Inside the Godzilla Suit" and getting really confused.

Well yes, but here a PS4 sells for $600 with 2 or 3 games and most big premium games (eg Destiny, The Last of Us) for the thing cost $80-$100.

Well, it's not like Japan is the only places that does wierd product placement. I have seen "The Wiggles" Band-Aids here in Australia. Japan always seems to be on a different level though.

Well now we know what Princess Peach was doing in another castle. Luigi always got there first. Dammit Luigi.

Fair enough. That would mean that Nintendo is actually one of the most fair companies in that respect. Only a 10-20% markup? That's nothing compared to what the other guys do.

AUS$219.95 for the regular and AUS$249.95 for the XL. From what I can see, the RRP for the XL in the USA is US$200 and that converts to AUS$225 right now. So actually, not really all that much more expensive.

Yeah, that was the man sub-series I was thinking of, but they do have some stories outside that part of the universe that do some space combat too. Mostly to do with fighting the Pak in the Fleet of Worlds stories.

Australia and NZ have their own Nintendo advertising region, but for the purposes of region locking we are part of the European region. Why on earth would anyone make us a separate region when we use the same format as the European region and speak one of the four languages they translate for in that region? The only…

Books that get space combat scientifically "right"? Larry Niven's Known Space series is pretty on the ball. Even though it covers speculative technology ranging from fusion drives to gravity planars and warp drives over a period of nearly a thousand years.

The game seems pretty nicely balanced to me so far. With attributes, it's pretty hard to screw yourself too badly.

There are 3 talky options. Kiss Ass, Hard Ass and Smart Ass. Kiss Ass lets you suck up a bit to get info. Hard Ass lets you scare the shit out of them for info. Smart Ass lets you ask the right questions.

These changes are pretty great. Steam knows I like Isometric, Turn-Based, Tactical, Post-Apocalyptic, Kickstarter games. Presumably because Wasteland 2 and Divinity: Original Sin are all I've played lately.

This is pretty great. I bet he'd be even better as Kuririn though.

Yeah. That made me raise my eyebrow too. You are forced to talk to him immediately after the intro video plays. How could you not notice if you'd even started the game?

I was talking about Taiga Aisaka from Toradora! actually. She isn't even particularly athletic that I remember. You're probably thinking of a different 4-foot girl in one of the videos. There were a lot of them weren't there?

On the one hand, it's awesome seeing all those characters in the same game.

Good guys Shinra? I feel so confused.

You missed....
