I've notice over the months that more than few of the people that frequent these forums are "in the know" when it comes to gaming in general, and a few of them follow productions. So if you would- does anyone know what happened to this title? I had been following it with anticipation on 'official site' or another, which never seemed to be updated. As far as I know there is not yet any planned non-Japanese release...

Did some digging again, after the last time you asked me.

No release date outside of Japan decided or even if they want a release date outside of Japan. In fact, it was announced at the Tokyo Game show Sept 2006, and was being designed for a 2009 release by Irem Software Engineering. Maybe the delay could be accounted for the supposed switch from PS2 to PS3 consoles due to the main Sony console status being handed off from 2 to 3.. but.. I basically would not hold my breath for an out of Japan release unless the popularity of the game skyrockets.

I suppose I better brush up on my Japanese instead, then. :/

Thank you for the look-up. 4.95 USD as usual?
