Translated but voiceless cutscenes start at 2:58, and the release date is in September.

I love the portrait cutscenes. They just look so nice (makes me even more hopeful for Nep-V's)

I forget where I read it but it was said that Neptune v will do the same portrait cut scenes from mugen souls so yeah... And it does look better this way I enjoyed the cute scenes like this when playing the game

Finally, I know how to pronounce it!

[Rednal]

Oh, Ryuto...

And I just got used to pronouncing "Chou" like it rhymes with "so"... only to go back to "Shu/Shoe" now... DANGIT! XD

I TRIED to tell you it sounded exactly how it was pronounced in Japanese >.>

[Rednal]

I didn't doubt *that* much, especially after I HEARD it pronounced that way in gameplay footage... I just wasn't sure whether they were going to change the pronunciation for the English audience.

Fair enough.

The audio's pretty bad on that, hopefully one with fixed audio will pop up soon enough.

[Rednal]

Well, I don't think the microphone was always aimed towards who was talking, but at least they were audible.

As for the game, they probably didn't want the sound to drown out the people talking. o wo

[myskaros]

That one question was pretty out there... "Why don't you bring this onto the Xbox, huh?!?!" Maaaybe because it's a PS3 game and NISA is a localization company? O_o He should go ask Nintendo why they don't publish Mario games on the Xbox. I'm sure that'll go over well. Actually, I'm sure they get that question all the time lol.

Great answer to a less-than-great question, though.

[Rednal]

Ahaha... I'm not sure if they meant just this game or games in general... but, yeah, the games are released here, generally, when the original company is hard at work on their next game. Porting to another console would be a relatively serious expenditure of time and energy... and I don't really think it would be worth it without solid evidence that it could turn a good profit (and justify taking less time to make something new).

So... yeah.

[myskaros]

I just think that's a really ignorant question that, if you took like 15 seconds to think about it, the answer should be rather obvious, or you could at least think of a few very viable answers (licensing, competition, contracts, programming hurdles, etc.). The reporter/interviewer represents a "gaming and entertainment news" website, doesn't seem like a great idea to employ people unfamiliar with gaming lol.

I think they just love their Xbox, and maybe dislike their PS3.

Either way, yeah the question was kinda showing how much he was incensed at it not being on the 360 as well. Especially when he kept on interrupting them while they were giving reasons

[darkrchaos]

I was looking to see this but they didn't show it on G4 or anything. Thanks for posting it
