It's the one they called "Shin Megami Tensei : Lucifer’s Call" here in Europe, but SMT: Nocturne in America, confusing us all for years as we attempted to have conversations.

That game really lives up to the title of "PSN Classic"! Just watch out for instant death moves.

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (3DS)

Was due out next week, and has been delayed until September!   :( :(

Comes with some bonus goods now, though. A wallet chain and 19 AR cards. Woo.

I knew it was suspicious there were no preorders up in any online stores yet! I tried emailing Sega about it at the beginning of the week and they never got back to me.

I wonder if it'll still have the feature where you talk to the game. Like, using the 3DS microphone. I watched a friend play the Japanese version, and sometimes Hatsune Miku would be in a huff if you didn't pay her enough attention, so you had to talk to her to bring her back. It was a silly feature, and I imagine quite embarrassing to use in public.

I can imagine that being a nightmare to port over to English, if they decide to keep it in. Maybe that's why it's delayed...?
