So, how is your impression of this game?

I love taiko games, oh region lock >: why must you exist

This game will NEVER head to the west.

But I want it soooo much.

This article blows, you never once allude to what sort of game Taiko is.
I know but not every reader will, actually write something informative.

But yes, like most Taiko games this probably will never see release in the west.

May want to try it, but... Oh wait I can't. PAL 3DS.

Hadn't actually thought of this so much until now, but the region lock on the 3DS is a pain. Never really noticed the region lock on the DSiXL since the games I wanted with DSi features (B/W) were region free. Hopefully something can be made to circumvent the lock..

FUCK THIS SHIT, I can't import it and I'm not throwing down 200 dollars for a Japanese 3DS plus the 70 bucks to import this one game... *sigh*

I wish the friggin 3DS didn't have region lock...

 

[BrightNeko]

Region lock why are you a thing

 

[OJClock]

huge fan of the taiko series but alas localization woes means i can only play the ipod game

 

[Coto]

oh noes and I love Taiko... Nintendo Japan if you read this, PLEASE localize these games.

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

Well, there goes another $50 I'll never be able to spend.

But NoA are... yuck. On most freakin great japanese games..! u_u I know most games I love won't get localized just because of their fault.

*happy face from news*
*rages from region lock*

 

[megawalk]

and this is why I'd rather go with a vita, because of the region lock again, and I think many more people go for a region free system instead of just enjoy a region lock.

 

[Satangel]

Couldn't care less, but I can imagine the frustration for the fans over here, not being able to play this game. Hopefully some hacker will find a way, in time I believe it will happen!

 

[blubbermarble]

Vita looks expansive.

 

[The Milkman]

So its a rhythmic game? Eh, we already got two on the 3DS

and this is why I'd rather go with a vita, because of the region lock again, and I think many more people go for a region free system instead of just enjoy a region lock.

You are aware that even the average hardcore gamer lacks any spare fucks to give towards games from other regions right? Trust me, if more people go for the Vita in the end its probably going to be the portable HD.

I am sad to this day that I cannot play this on Europian 3DS. Well Japanese 3DS is not expensive like it used to be so only thing I can do is either wait forever for some Hack or buy Japanese 3DS
