Thanks Baldr, always love reading these things (so many games releasing in Japan lately; it certainly keeps things exciting!)

One Piece 2 PS3 the highest scoring game of the week, not bad. Vita version only a point behind as well, wonder what it was subtracted for. It's going to be interesting to see how the Vita version's sales hold up against PS3's - it already established a fanbase with the first game on PS3, so I'm not expecting great things.

Atelier Meruru got exactly the same score as the PS3 version got. Which is excellent, of course, since the PS3 version was the highest they've scored an Atelier game.

Shame Disgaea didn't score higher though. I'm wondering what it was marked down for. Disgaea hasn't really shaken things up since the first game, so perhaps it was that.

Luigi is also a little lower than I expected. More $$$ to Famitsu, Nintendo.  Castlevania scored pretty poorly by Famitsu standards.

(Also, your pictures are slightly mucked up. You have to box art for the Vita Pro Yakyu Spirits game underneath the PSP version's score.  Unless you were just lumping them together :P).

Yeah Vita has a lot of games for March. Too bad I can't say the same for April...

And that boxart does look very nice!

Japanese baseball? Fuuuuhhhck..

It's actually quite popular there.

Those PS3 and vita games scored really high. A good amount of games releasing also.

So Famitsu is a harsh critic, right?

Lots of vita games.

I'd bet my sister's cat that it's Disgaea 4 reskinned.  Which is basically Disgaea 1, to be honest.  I want it, but that score is probably about right.

I still want to try an Atelier game.  Is the Vita version coming west?

And Yay for One Piece.

How am I supposed to play Luigi's Mansion 2 when its all in Japanese?

I don't care how good the scores are or the game is, I don't want to spend 400 bucks on rosetta stone just to play vidya games.

Localize or GTFO!
