Virtual-On Force
Virtual-On Force
I searched but I could not find a topic about Virtual-On Force, so I opened a new one. Like many of you surely know, Virtual-On Force has been released only in Japan but it's region free, so it's playable by europeans and americans too.
I bought the game one month ago. It's pretty good, despite some simplifications and a big slowdown compared to Oratorio Tangram. However the online mode is something like unplayable for an european, because there's much lag with japanese players and it's hard to find opponents.
I have the translations of all the menus of the game from japanese to italian. In anyone here is interested I could translate them to english. Let me now.

If I'm honest simplifications and a bit of slow down compared to OT sounds like a good thing to me.Schubert wrote:I bought the game one month ago.

Is there any hope for a Western release? I wouldn't want to import it only to hear an announcement two days after it arrives through the post.Schubert wrote:I have the translations of all the menus of the game from japanese to italian.

Nope. The reason of the decision to make japanese version region free (usually locked for Xbox 360 games) is because they haven't plans for a western release. Virtual-On unfortunately is a serie with very small appeal in the west. I think we could consider us lucky to have the japanese version playable, I wouldn't have bet anything on that, it was a surprise for me.Kaito-kun wrote: Is there any hope for a Western release?

I see. At least the developers considered the importers. Looks like I'll have to give Play-Asia a visit.Schubert wrote:Nope.

If that was anywhere near affordable you'd have me hook, line and sinker. Absolutely love the Virtual-On series, and have to say I'm quite gutted that it's never hit the same heights here as it did in Japan.Schubert wrote:I forgot to mention that the game has been released in a great limited edition: a Memorial Box with 6 CD soundtrack and a beautiful artbook.
