~Continuum Shift~ Europe Fan Edition
Tue 2010/08/03 04:10 JST
Looks like US Blazblue fans gets shafted this time around. The Europe ver. has a special Fan Edition that comes with the Puchi Nendo Noel~ Only 500 will be made. If the conversion rate wasn't so bad and I didn't have incoming pre-orders I would get this. T_T
Oh, it is only available for order from the publisher itself. Zen United
NA almost never gets Special/Limited/Fan edition extras. :(
Aksys has been putting out some pretty decent limited edition sets lately. I'm really disappointed that they didn't do a set with Puchi Noel. :(
aren't they selling those online?
regardless, not many Americans like figures no? Especially if they are those who are hardcore male gamers, they be like -wth is this thing?
True, but then I'm sure Arksys knows they are also marketing this to otakus too. I buy it just cause I like the story and art. XD
I know they were talking about selling the Puchi Noel on their website, but as far as I can tell it never happened. I don't think they had enough stock left after the convention they had them at. :(
I think there's a market for figures in America, but not the cutesy anime ones. There have been successful limited edition games with figures already (Bioshock, Assassins Creed II, the upcoming Halo Reach, etc). The NECA toy line seems to be doing well enough to support that American gamers will buy figures. The mousepad and pillowcase that came out with Record of Agarest War was even less of a mainstream, so I don't see why we can't get a little toy! XD
Mmmmm, BlazBlue. Still haven't received mine from Amazon yet.
Really wanted the art book from the EU/JPN LEs though.
Ah I want that noel!
Aw man, I don't have a credit card right now. Assholes.
I think they take Paypal.
Want it, but sadly don't have the money. :(
I don't have the money, but I bought it anyway. Wanted that darn Noel :D
Heh, I almost had the same mindset till I saw the damn PayPal conversion rate. It's .10 worse then current market...
I am THERE!
I have to deal with crappy exchange rates all the time so I'm used to it. Don't really care for the nendo but a bonus is a bonus!
I knew you would! You get extra DLC content too along with all that fluff.
Of course! I'd still be playing calamity trigger like crazy if it wasn't for the fact everybody abandoned it in favour of super streetfighter IV!
So long as I still get noel and nu, I'm happy with the roster. Apparently Litchi has been made harder to use but she's now top tier and bang went from crap to godlike! Glad to see arc systems works still can't balance characters to save their lives!!
Maybe I can sell the nendo noel for an extortionate price...
FUUUUU- Thanks Aksys for doing a half-assed job on the NA release. (don't get me started with the instruction booklet.) Even with the fact I might or might not being able to get the 1.01 patch, still happy with the Japanese version.
Although that Artbook sure is nice.
I am crying right now that this isn't going to the U.S. DX
Oh well, at least I got the special edition for Calamity Trigger......
Meh, I live in Europe but preordered the NA version because I couldn't wait for the release over here. Now my game is stuck in customs and I won't see it for another week anyway ><
And with SC2 out it's quite unlikely that I will be playing the game seriously anyway ^^
seems like they have more stuff than the Japanese limited release...
*shrug* whatever (is now one step closer to getting the true ending.. Soo much shocking revelation... Soo much Hazama... I swear to god, he needs to die... I swear to Arc, YOU WILL CREATE JYUBEI AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER!)
Ya, the story is great. Haven't finished all the characters stories yet but I love how they keep inserting more twists and characters. Love Rachel's arc where all these new characters shows up who seems to be more powerful then her.
I got the japanese edition for Noel. She's so cute. The artbook is nice but very tiny...
Yay, we get shafted by yet another game company. I wonder why I even bother continuing to buy this crap when we always get the crappy version.
-stares at Namco Bandai and Aksys-
