  1. Wasn't it remade for 3DS under the Assault Horizon name? Oops, I stand corrected. AC2, not 3. (I coulda sworn, though...) Both of them ported to Switch... Hm... The PSP ACs would definitely be good candidates for remasters/remakes as well. They already look and run great on PPSSPP, all they would really need is a texture update. Plus the unique fighters in Skies of Deception are all really cool. I just want my Strangereal aerial soap opera, damn it!
  2. To the manga? I don't even know now, it's been so long since I stopped reading manga... To the original show? I bet Funimation'll be right there, blank discs in hand, ready to port the entire mega-franchise over.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I dunno, holding your money and other preorder items hostage seems pretty dirty. EDIT: BUT I don't have an actual dog in that fight, so maybe I should just shut my mouth.
  4. AC4/5/Zero HD might be in development: http://www.siliconera.com/2018/03/26/ace-combat-04-5-zero-remasters-might-development/

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yep, Mykombini refunded me too. I find it hard to fault them, though. It really does seem pretty obvious to me that Bandai shafted everyone on this specific item for whatever reason. EVERY store was and is having problems getting sufficient product, and again, only on this specific item. People are talking about receiving other preordered items before and after this fiasco from the same store - NY, Mykombini, CDJ, etc. - without any trouble. If there's any fault to find with the stores, it's in their less than proactive response, some more so than others. Waiting a little while, talking to the supplier, trying to get some sort of fix in order, that's fine. That's what I assume these stores were doing. However, keeping completely mum to the customer, that's kind of... like I said, less than proactive. If there's one thing I've gleaned from this, it's the importance of customer service. Mykombini, all things considered, has been fairly decent about their communication with customers. The refund email I received didn't skimp on the reason why they're refunding people. I'll probably try them again sometime (maybe for the (hopefully) eventual Arad 31A or Alpha 2 31A), which is more than I can say about NY. They seem downright antagonistic in both their customer service and company policies. "We'll give you zero communication if possible and intentionally vague canned responses if not, and we're only too willing to hold onto your money without giving you what you paid for, but if you dare call us out on our shitty practices or open a Paypal dispute we'll cancel all your preorders, cut all your rewards, and possibly close your account." Yeah, I know where I won't be taking my money anytime soon.

    Methinks (or mehopes) it must have been a human error, since the page has been completely wiped. Likely they were trying to delete it but clicked the wrong button(s). Is this common practice for them? ie deleting pages for discontinued items? Hopefully this means that they've finally received their stock and will be sending them out by the end of the week. If not, I'll send 'em a query and get back to you all with their answer.

    $350-550. EDIT: Well poop, 70k yen? Sheesh. I stand corrected.
  9. This is good news for me, since I don't like the Lil' Drakens that much and far prefer the VF by itself. These prices are great.

    Just now? Or do you mean way back when? Because if now, I need to have some words with them...

    I went through an old folder and came across this, I feel it appropriately expresses what Bandai thinks of us:

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Now I think about it, the three guns protruding proudly from the body DO have a certain je ne sais porn about them...
  13. Rule I've seen mentioned is two-week spoiler period from time of release, then it's fair game.
  14. She changes it to "Watashi no uta o kike." From what I remember, watashi is non-gendered, though I hear it used more by females than males (in anime, at least). It's taught to non-native speakers (like me) as the "general-use I." There's also boku (male), atashi (female), ore (male), a bunch of other variants besides... Recent case in point:
  15. Mahou shoujo ore... Magical Girl Me? ("Me" of course being masculine)

    Mykombini is closed 3/30 "for inventory." Hopefully that means they're getting everything in order and come Monday I'll have a shipping notification. If not... sigh... I don't want to entertain that possibility.
  17. Dang, great deal on the Draken. That's something like 60% off the retail price BEFORE shipping.
  18. That's awesome and adorable at the same time.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    That really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't gotten a similar or really any message at all since the payment request past Friday. Still holding out hope, but not much... They seem to be the only one who's done it multiple times... I think? I know I saw one CDJ order canceled, but I don't remember any others. To be fair, it's squarely a Bandai problem. The preorders closed in late November. The number of orders they had was locked in - plus or minus a couple dozen, maybe - for nearly four months. It's not the store's fault they didn't receive the supply they were promised by the manufacturer (because again that was the whole POINT of making this TWE). That aside, I'd be lying if I said I didn't also feel some consternation about buying from Mykombini in the future. Dunno why your comment got a downvote, but for me, I'm currently leaning more towards the latter than the former, considering other stores are having difficulty fulfilling preorders as well.

    Ugh, yeah, when I chanced upon that line I groaned to myself and shook my head muttering "Why, Japan? Why are you like this?" There's also the Deculture model kits, if you're into the whole "itasha" car decal thing. The 1/72 are transformable but rare, and the 1/100 ones are fighter mode only and still pretty easily found. Both can be built without needing glue and both come with stickers for the decals, though the 1/72 also comes with waterslides. 1/72: https://hlj.com/search/go?w=deculture 1/100: Ranka - https://hlj.com/product/BAN970389 Sheryl - https://hlj.com/product/BAN970390 Other than that... I dunno, maybe you could use some Sailor Moon figures to pair with the DXes? (actually now I think about it... Mercury with 31J, Venus with 31E, Moon with... 31S? maybe the Roid SV-262Hs?, Mars with 31C, and I guess Jupiter with 31F/262Ba...)
  21. I'll be honest, I feel the same way. At the very least, though, all of Bandai Hobby's injection molding technology is finally being put to profoundly impressive use. The face on my Figure-rise Kaname is freaking AMAZING. They even got the gloss right on the eye plastics while leaving the rest flat (or well, as flat as bare plastic can be). What they did with the Figure-rise line has wowed me waaaay more than anything they ever did with MGs and RGs.
  22. Gameplay-wise it's fine, it's just the main character and the story that let the game down. Black Flag proves that point; move it to the Caribbeans(?) and turn Connor into a pirate(?), and suddenly the woes of AC3 are forgotten. Origin looks fine, but... again, it's The Ubisoft Sandbox Game. I just can't bring myself to care to play one of those. They all bleed into each other - collectibles all over the map, capture watchposts to reveal map and said collectibles, etc...
