    Impressive, I guess it's safe to say they are good games, but these are Famitsu reviews and I never take much notice of them.. I will likely get Kingdom Hearts on import from the US.

    So you won't trust the Kizuna score on the Wii, which was about 4/4/5/5?

    I have never really taken a lot of notice of Famitsu scores, or any for that matter (just straight numbers I mean).  Why don't you take any notice of them?  Are they not a reasonable guide?

    Meh. I've tried to like Kingdom Hearts, but I couldn't really get into it. I'm also thinking I should finish my other AA games before I play Miles Edgeworth.

    I also don't give two craps about what Famitsu thinks. It might be because I'm not Japanese, but I almost always disagree with their scores.
    FF12 is not a perfect game.

    Yeah, like Red says, they have dished out some highly questionable review scores in the past. They may well be good games, but I will wait for the Western take on them.

    With the notable exception of that perfect score they awarded Nintendogs (that game isn't even good IMO), I almost always do agree with their scores and wouldn't have expected anything less from these games.

    I originally planned to import KH 358/2 Days but 65 dollars is about 25 more than I'm willing to spend on a DS game right now so I'll probably just wait it out for US release. I'll pick up Miles Edgeworth when it hits US as well.

    When I am looking at playasia for games, I am usually quite surprised at how much they charge for Japanese versions of games.  When released, they are nearly always $10 - $30 more.  No idea why.  I just buy them later when they are cheap and they do tend to drop a lot in price when they do.

    That's just what games go for in Japan -- they charge what they can get for it.

    Especially Square Enix can be brutal with their "tax". Dragon Quest IX will probably be the most expensive DS game yet with its 70 dollar price tag.

    Hopefully the Edgeworth game will wash out the bad taste caused by Appolo Justice, but unless you know Japanese, importing would be suicide. As for Kingdom Hearts? Meh. Some people like it. I don't

    I am sure there is an explanation for the Kingdom Heart 358/2 days title, but I don't know.  It doesn't jump out and grab me either.

    It's supposed to be pronounced "Three-Five-Eight Days over Two," and according to Tetsuya Nomura, you won't fully understand its meaning until you've beaten the game.

    There's already a US teaser site so I don't think they'll be changing the title anymore.

    So you're a fan?

    I have bought the first 2 Ace Attorney games recently, so maybe I will become a fan as well.

    Perhaps not then, if it ties in with the game closely.  Still, it is a terrible sub title for a game.

    Yeah. I love the first and third Phoenix Wright games and the best case in all of them, for me anyway, is the Edgeworth centric one in the first game so having more of him is great.

    It has a release date of January 2010

    Surprisingly, compared to the usual price of DS games I import, at $30 US, it seems cheap.  A good thing  :-)
