Galgun (PS3)

[WiseYuri]

of all the games that came out only in japan, i think this one it's perfectly expendable, and i really don't see the reason or point of localizing it. The genre itself doesn't work very well with home consoles, if you really wanna play an on-rail shooter, you go in a nearby arcade and play some House Of The Dead, Time Crisis, Ghost Squad, whatever. the 360 doesn't even have a light gun (the Wii would have been a better choice, it's pointless playing this kinda game with a normal controller), it's a moefest, the plot is plain silly, not really a bad thing as story doesn't matter at all for this genre, yeah, but doesn't help the game in being "appealing" outside of Japan.

Don't mean to bash it or anything, but i think it's kinda pointless to even hope for a western release.
i'd prefer to see something that's more "new" to western audiences, like VNs, still niche stuff, i know, very niche stuff. speaking of 360 games, i would like to see translated Stein's Gate, so i can give it a go, but again, is kinda pointless to even hope. Too bad.

That's awesome! I want to try this game just for the absurdity of it. It is an odd choice to pick a platform without much light gun support or a supplemental controller that could act as one. Maybe Nintendo/Sony were initially more stern in what they'd allow. Microsoft seems to be more lax on what they'll allow on the platform in Japan (though they too are tightening up due to Kinect and wanting a more family-friendly image).

@WiseYuri It's a long shot, but I did put in a request for Steins;Gate here if you're interested:

I also hit up Atlus and Aksys as well. I'd really like to see if the VN genre could get some traction here. The DS games seem to do well enough.

Gal Gun and Umineko crossover

What is it with that... what do you call that pose where the feet and knees face each other? (Look at the pink-haired twins in one of the 'caps.) I once saw a screencap on Siliconera where EVERY SINGLE GIRL PICTURED posed that way.

... Oh hey. I see panty shots. I thought Microsoft forced the developers to censor them? Did they change their minds?

I think the pose is called pigeon-toed.
Edit: More DLC
