I kinda knew this was going to happen who didn't over here in North America we are getting games that we like to play but in Japan things are diffrent lots of them get sick from first person games they are diffrent types of gamers and Microsoft is pretty much saying here is a game that not a single person wants but we want to sell it anyway. They need to get some games out like Blue Dragon that's what Japanese people want not Oblivion or Perfect Dark. So Microsoft start giving them what they want or things may get real ugly looking.

They can only buy the "best", which are Japanese products.

Plain and simple they are loyal to Nintendo and Sony.. I disagree with #1 b/c MS has done so much to get support in Japan!! MS has pumped enough $ into the black hole Japan.. I say cut your losses and move on don't go out of your way for them if anything go out of your way for the Supporters the Americans!! Japan won't support the 360... Sony is in for a big surprise also Japan will support the Wii over the ps3 for sure b/c of price and the new controller (japan loves the gadgets).... Nintendo is gonna own the Japanese market most likely.. Hey I got mad respect for Japan but I want whats best for me as a gamer and thats putting the great titles into my hands... Keep the support of Japanese developers but don't go out of your way for the japanese gamers b/c MS has tried and they simply don't want to support an american product!!

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!
