I'm back from vacation and man was it a blast. Definitely had a lot of fun.
Wanted to show off some of the wonderful loot I got from my venture. It's not all of it but there's quite a bit.
First off, monster hunter:
Monster Hunter 4 G just got released so there was a lot of promotion for it. It was quite tempting to get the game but the problem is the region lock on the 3DS. I could of gotten one of those "New" 3DS but I knew I'd be getting an North American version when it comes out so suppressed my urge. The little card like things are actually coasters I got from the Capcom Bar. The books are manga's and the big meat is a comfy little pillow.
I actually also got a T-Shirt. It's a T-shirt to protect me from the desire sensor. It doesn't look anything special but I liked the idea. Too bad only people who can read Japanese will really get the joke. I tried it on and played some Monster hunter but looks like it didn't help...but then again, despite not getting the non-rare item I was looking for, I still got a lot of gems instead. So maybe it does work?
There's also some small little collectible statues from the game too. I got two monsters and 3 of the Felyne ones. I'll probably take pictures of it some time in the future.
The next ones is the Blazblue loot. The artbook for Chrono Phantasma and the PS3 game; Xblaze for the Vita which has some connection to the Blazblue world; and the shopping bag is something I got free for buying the artbook. The reason I got Chrono Phantasma in Japan is due to the fact that they removed the Glossary from the North American release.
I also had a chance to play Guilty Gear Xrd and man did it look good. I was terrible at the game but it played so smoothly and the 3D sprites were beautiful. Can't wait to get the North American release.
The 3rd picture is Super Robot Wars related. First two games from the left is the first of the Z series game and the 3rd Z game Jigoku chapter. The 3rd game is the OG Infinite Battle plus Dark Prison game. I only got this to get the Dark Prison. It was in the bargain bin. I don't even know if I'll ever play the game as it doesn't look very fun or good. The 4th is the DS game, OG saga Endless Frontier Exceed. I wanted to get it as it seems to have some actual connection to the whole OG series.
The next picture is Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, Person 4 Golden and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remake. I've been interested in the Persona series but never played them before. I prefer Japanese text so I was waiting to get the game in Japan. Same goes for FFX as it's one of my Favorite FF series.
The last one are some other games I got in Japan. Masked Rider Battleride Wars 2, One Piece Pirate Warriors 2, Megaman Zero Collection, Danganronpa Reload 1 & 2, and Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo.
I grew up watching Masked Rider Black RX, so the Masked Rider series still has a kind of special place in my heart. I kinda wish there was a good Garo game but I haven't really seen one. I haven't been really following all the new Rider series but a few that I watched were fun so I figured I'd get it. It's actually a limited edition disc that has actual songs from the TV or movie series.
One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 did come out in North America but was only available as a downloadable only game.
Megaman Zero is probably one of my all time favorite Megaman series. I couldn't find the North American release of the game so I was on the look out of one in Japan. Thankfully I found one.
Danganronpa was just release in North America too but as separate games. I knew the Japanese version actually came out together as one package instead. Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo wasn't actually something I was really all that interested in getting...until I found out it actually happens after the two Danganronpa games.
That pretty much is all my gaming loot. I also got a small adapter for the 3DS that let's me charge it using a USB cell phone charger. Definitely useful for travelling as I won't need to rely on the actual AC adapter for charging my 3DS. I also got a 64 GB memory card for the Vita. Not sure why it's only available in Japan but I got one since my 32 GB was already getting full.
I'm hoping to resume my Lightning Round project and get a video out before the end of this month. I'm sure many of you are looking forward to it. The next update will probably be about the other loot from Japan. Stuff that aren't exactly Videogame related but related to mechs and anime.
