If they remain Japan-only, that's what a JP itunes account is for. You can have both on the same phone, no problem.

Only issue is not knowing Japanese

For something on par with HSG, it shouldn't be an issue outside of fumbling through menus to change clothes or whatever. I play a handful of JP games and sometimes it's awhile before I go "oh, this does this" but for the most part, unless it's a word-based game, piece of cake.

German one are the same, just another order. I think the selection is quite good.

Good news for those that were worried about the Sony games only coming to Japan.

From businessinsider.com:

"Also unlike Nintendo's approach, it appears that Sony's targeting Japan first; the games will arrive on iPhone and Android in Japan and other parts of Asia before going worldwide."

Full story:

I've also seen this mentioned on several other sites so don't worry yet. Sounds like we'll get them eventually.

Started playing Infinity Blade 3 and... i am not having fun. It's kinda frustrating.

I was repeating same damn level (1st level) 3 times. And still couldn't finish it. Is game really about repeating same levels, defeating slightly different enemies with "boss" at the end of each level and leveling up?

It's more involved than that but not sure if I'm the best one to explain it. That said, it is going to be repetitive so if you don't like it now, I doubt it will win you over.

One of those games you either really dig or not. I personally enjoy it but have not even come close to finishing it.

Gameplay is really repetitive and boring. Even my brother gave me weird look and asked my what am i doing with my phone... really. XD

Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore is out worldwide. Debating if it's worth even trying from the things I've read.

Bully: Anniversary Edition is coming to iOS today and the port is good it seems:
http://toucharcade.com/2016/12/08/bully-anniversary-edition-review/
Holy fuck , I'm so getting this minute one on my iPad Pro! Whoa!

I'm also so super hyped for Super Mario Run!

And yeah, I'm waiting for Final Fantasy VIII too. Hopefully next year along with KOTOR II.

[edit] Ducktales: Remastered and The Amazing Spider-Man are on sale for 99c each. I bought both.
Welp, just bought Severed too as it is on sale.

Might have to pick up Bully. Had it long ago on Xbox but never finished (and no longer have the original Xbox).

Okay, I really like Bully. The touch controls are fine, the visuals look good and it's just so good to be back in Bullworth school. I had it for PS2 back in the day and have had it on PC foreve but I've never completed it. Maybe I'll do so on my iPad Pro 9.7. Although the game does have a few framerate drops here and there.

You and me both. Binding of Isaac was supposed to be my last purchase this year

But it's Rockstar's best PS2 game...
HERESY!

Just kidding. I've never played Bully, but my favorite Rockstar PS2 game was GTA III. Might give this a shot if I can find time between FF XV and TLG around Xmas.

Damn, Rodeo Stampede is amazing. Keeps getting better and better. Bought the Mule and Cash Cow and the game still is hard even if it is premium now (no timers, no ads, fluid income, infinite missions). Tentacles and Rodeo and Redungeon and Reigns and Mini Metro are going to end up on my GoTY list fot sure. Great year for some varied endless runners :)

Leap Day
Rodeo Stampede
Tentacles Enter the Mind
Reigns
Redungeon
Mini Metro
Lost Socks
RunGunJumpGun
Blitz Breaker
The Bug Butcher

Is my list right now (SteamWorld Heist rests on my PS4, same as Invisible Inc)

any of you dummies playing Critical Ops?

apparently it just released world wide a month or two ago, it's like f2p counter strike on the phone. it's... actually quite good!

Apparently all Apple Store worldwide have Super Mario Run installed on every iPhone on display starting today.

I played it some months ago and it felt great. Not playing it anymore though.
 
The graphical and conceptual variety of these games, while all being high quality, is amazing. Can't fucking wait for Mario Run. Easiest $10 I will ever spend.

I am really looking forward to Super Mario Run as well. Not sure if I will be willing to throw $10 at it but we'll see. I am glad that it is free to try. If the concept works I could imagine that Nintendo could create new levels and world on a yearly basis and kind of proceduraly build a "season like" game.

Was Conduct THIS! already shared in this thread? I've been really enjoying it.

https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/conduct-this!/id1151455384?l=en&mt=8

It's basically a real-time train manager that gets really challenging really quickly. Looks really nice too.

Thank you for that. I have been playing Train Conductor World quite a bit until I hit a wall (which was fairly late I have to admit). I would suggest that game to you as well though the gameplay is a bit different.

Maybe I have to redownload it. I got tired of it waiting for new missions all the time to progress. Spend a good chunk of time watching ads I remember (I think I used like 2GB of mobile data), bought gold fences for all animals the game had back then and was disgusted by the looks of them and deleted the game lol

I was quite impressed by the game, even how it handled without a controller. But in the end I was bummed out by the touch controls nontheless. 3D shooters with touch controls... meh.
