I figured seeing as there seems to be a fair few people into importing like myself around here that we should have our own thread to talk about the latest American and Japanese releases and also to have a bit of a laugh at the European gamers and feel superior with our access to better games :-D

So lets get talking about the latest games coming out overseas

Front Mission 4 Japanese version and Resident Evil Outbreak should be arriving tomorrow so that's more time lost.

Phantom Brave looks to be very interesting as well, another strategy RPG from Nippon-Ichi (my new favourite developer) Nice idea about how the Phantoms have to channel things on the battlefield in order to fight, which then affects their abilities. I'm in strategy RPG heaven at the moment what with Disgaea and then La Pucelle Tactics, Generation of Chaos IV and Front Mission 4 on order, all i need is a sequel to Vandal Hearts and i'll be a very happy gamer.

Yea most probably, they'll probably be able to carry a decent intelligent discussion as well.
