What the flippety hell?

A Sakura Wars game is FINALLY getting a North American release... and it's Sakura Wars V. Yes, V. As in, Five. I dunno... In my humble opinion, V is the best of the games, and it has the best cast. But it was also the least popular on the "main" franchise games in Japan, or so I've heard. And frankly I'm surprised that V is going to be the first game translated into English, as opposed to one of the more classic games with more recognizable characters. Really, it's not like V's graphics and gameplay were much of an improvement over IV, and IV had both the classic Tokyo and the popular Paris cast of characters together, so... Huh. How weird.

And also apparently Fate/Unlimited Codes will be translated and released for the PSP in North America. Despite the fact that neither Fate/Stay Night (the original game) nor Fate/Zero (the novels) have gotten any official translation whatsoever. I mean, I know that the Fate/Stay Night anime was released in North America, and that maaaaay be enough for gamers to make sense of Unlimited Codes... at least until the Fate/Zero characters start showing up and screwing with the storyline. Bwuh?

And then there's this crap.

Dude.

Dude.

I love cute things, and I love dogs, but I haaaaaate the mameshiba commericals, because they are flippin' TERRIFYING.

Jesus F. Christ just LOOK AT THIS OH MY GOD it will give you nightmares!!! And that's sooooo not even the worst one.

First Soulcalibur and now Fate/Unlimited Codes. At this rate, I think I might buy a PSP after all (even if playing on the D-pad would be weird).

Aw, maaaaaan! I'll never be okay with eating a red-bean paste bun anymore!

didn't understand ANYTHING on fate stay and what not.
But that commercial.
SWEET JEEZUS.

At least the Fate/Stay Night anime was localized. As for Unlimited Codes, I'm annoyed that only the PSP version is coming. I play the PS2 version and I don't have many people to play against on it. I know if the PS2 version came out, more people would play.

I am effing pumped to finally play Sakura Taisen after collecting so much of the anime and merchandising spin-offs!!!

Do the games have a normal/complex dating sim mechanic or do they used simplified mechanics for the strategy side and dating sim side or..or what?? ._.

Both the battle mechanics and the dating side seemed really simple to me, but then again, I don't have too much basis for comparison.
