    On the recent Bombcas t, Jeff mentioned that he had managed to purchase Bubble Bobble Neo from the Japan Xbox Marketplace. Was the game purchased on a Japanese Xbox 360 or a US Xbox 360?  
     
    I have a US 360 and have been able to download and play the demo using a Japanese account, and would like to purchase the game. If get some Japanese points, or use paypal with this be possible? Thanks!

    I believe he has a Japanese Xbox, but I'm not sure if he used that to get Bubble Bobble Neo. I think it would work on a US Xbox with a Japanese Live account, but I'm not sure.

    Messaged Jeff about it as he mentioned purchasing Bubble Bobble Neo on the bombcast. He bought the game on a US 360 using a Japanese account. I'm guessing he just bought and used some Japanese points. Good news for this game, now I just need some Japanese points. 
     
    He also mentioned on the bombcast that he'll be looking into the iDOLM@STER games that are on the Japanese Games on Demand marketplace. I await the results as there are a few games I'd like to try out there!

    So, I take it the full English version is included in the Japanese version?

    @JDUB_XL:
    The demo was fully in English, menus and story. I'm guessing that this game may eventually be released outside of Japan. Bubble Bobble Neo is a part of Japan's Summer of Arcade.

    I hadn't thought about Japan having it's own Summer of Arcade. That's a really cool thought. Do you know what the lineup is?

    @RawShark:
    The rest of the games are the same for Japan's Summer of Arcade as they are in the US.
