Hey David... why the price difference on the TG16 games? Is one a import?

I'm always resistant to download any TG16 games because I heard a rumor of a compilation disk coming out eventually, -not unlike the SNK Arcade Classics disk.

Hey... did you go to the Mets game on Saturday?????

Both of them are imports! Final Soldier is an imported cartridge game, and Cho Aniki originally came out on the PC Engine Super CD-ROM.

I'm actually looking forward to picking up Hell's Kitchen for $19.99 in January or February 2009.

This game shouldn't have launched at $40, imho.

Woah, I was hoping they'd localize Cho Aniki the other day, but that was probably because I read that it was going to be over here and forgot you said so. Finally America get's a taste of the warm gooey manliness that is Cho Aniki.
