That really bummed me out but with the nature of the game I can't see it selling well here (and can imagine all the chops and cuts it would have to go through) so I understood. Then I get an e-mail today from the Atlus Faithful newsletter with that hot pink background they've used in adverts for the game and the text; "Do you still like us?". Bizarre, but could that mean they're just playing with us Atlus fans and Catherine WILL leave Japan? Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Reallllllly hoping for A

So.. puzzly? The only real justification people have come up with is that it's another Atlus title. Stop thinking with yo peepees ya big bunch of anime lovin dorks ;P I know sex sells, but no one likes the puzzle genre apart from old married women. Y'all gunna hate this game, and you're just buying it for the implied anime boobies.

I think if I were to make a day of it I'd watch Videodrome, play some Catherine, and then watch From Beyond. Oh, and I love puzzle games! :p

I was a huge fan of Persona and while the gameplay is entirely different, I'm extremely interested in seeing what the Persona team is whipping up for this game. I will be getting it.

I'll try it, but I'm not gunna buy it. I hope I'm pleasantly proved wrong Just at the moment, I think you're all horrible, horrible people for getting so hyped for dem anime bewbies.

If by people you mean... one Andsy =P Naw man some of my fondest childhood memories consist of playing Intelligent Qube (a.k.a. Kuruschi Final in Germany/Japan) with my dad. Little did I know that it was gonna' turn out to be one of those ultra-inflated "RARE" games for PSone, otherwise I would've bought and kept it. I've been hunting for it for almost six years now; I just don't feel like spending such ridiculous amounts of money for a game that's not even that rare =P
