    Hello Everyone!!!

    i just got my Wizardo’s Edition!!!!!

    https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-PkHut5CKq7Q/URVz_bSJoAI/AAAAAAAABbI/2_QD2-7pIj0/s912/153_2421.JPG

    i cannot believe i managed to get it!!!!!

    shame it was only 1 copy :(

    even though i got this for FREE(wasn’t charged) this still doesn’t excuse Namco and Digital River for their fuck ups.

    i suggest everyone who preordered early to check their email or spam folder for any clues.

    overall i was actually not happy as hell when i got this, didn’t scream and all.

    i guess all that screw up drain the hype out of me.

    but alas i finally got it!!

    it’s been a long journey now!

      Nice! Glad you ended up getting your copy. Free of charge? How lucky.

      I’ve only received one email response since I last contacted them. Just an email telling me the guide will be shipped out on the 18th or so.

      • PrinceHeir

        yeah :D

        some users even gotten FREE at neo gaf, while one lucky user go 3!!!!!!

        that’s crazy!!

        good thing your getting your guide :D

        • http://gematsu.com/ Zero

          That’s really lucky. I was only told they are shipping out the guides. Considering I’ve gotten jack shit from them, no $20 coupon yet, and I’ve had to contact them multiple times to get any response, I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow f**k this up as well.

          I’ll believe I’m getting it when I have it in my hands.

          It’s really a shame. I wanted the game but this entire wizard edition fiasco has kinda turned me off on it. It’s been so much bullshit, that just thinking about the game annoys me right now.

    Anyone else snowed in? XD There’s like 1.5 meters here

  • PrinceHeir

    can anyone confirm to me that the story of Fist of the North Star 2 is the same as the first one just with added characters?

    that way i don’t have to buy the first game.

    though this being digital(US) is making me angry, plus it’s freaking $60.

    wtf Tecmo!!!!

  • Himiko

    Manchester City were awfuuuul

    • Eclipse

      Lol, “Were”?! Don’t you mean “are”? ;)
      Southampton absolutely crushed them~!!!

      • Himiko

        haha as fated rivals of Man Utd, you’d expect me to say that. But I’m too nice- plus I like Hart… though he’s having a reaaaally bad season huh?

        He does decent internationally though.

        • Eclipse

          I didn’t manage to see the Manchester vs Everton game, but I read that Giggs, Cleverly and Rafael gave a great performance.

          And I agree with you about Hart ~ I think he’s one of the best Goalkeepers in the world. There was absolutely nothing he could’ve done about “Barry’s goal”….

          I think Barry deserved the MOTM award for that terrific display “against” Southampton. His goal will always have a special place in my heart… XD

          • Himiko

            Yeah. It’ll be a good experience for him. He’s super young in terms of goalkeeper age. That save from Brazil penalty was epic anyway. XD Reminded me of his 2010/11 season.

            Yeah, Rooney was also pretty good, but they both had trouble hitting the net. I’m guessing due to internationals you lose your feel for a bit? They weren’t playing particularly aggressive though. Assuming Ferguson is resting till Madrid match. Who do you think will win?

            LOL he broke Hart man. That was just… I feel sorry for Mancini.

            • Eclipse

              Hmm… The Man Utd vs Real Madrid game might be a bit unpredictable — Real have been a bit sluggish in the La Liga (They’re not even in 2nd place right now), but they’re still a very dangerous team that should not be taken lightly.

              I know that Evans and Jones won’t be available for the clash, but I read that some players were being rested, so hopefully the game won’t end up one-sided… I really do detest Real Madrid, so here’s hoping that the Red Devils give them a good thrashing~!

              • Himiko

                My man.

                I don’t like Ronaldo either. Pompous fool. :p

      • Himiko

        Man Utd 2 – 0 Everton. Boring game, I hope they make R.Madrid’s destruction as entertaining as possible.

    I take it with a grain of salt and all….

  • zakou

    Open forums on fridays-saturdays, whos with me?

    • PrinceHeir

      yeah i think open forum should be friday since there’s not a lot of huge news coming out(aside from the occasionally out of nowhere news)

      yeah Sal definitely should make Open Forum on Fridays!

    • http://gematsu.com/ Zero

      You and @PrinceHeir:disqus really think so? We will take it into consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

      • zakou

        Thanks Zero. Yes i think others also agree but this post is old so they don’t look here maybe :P, the reason is exactly what PrinceHeir said.

        The last post every friday/saturday ends up getting most comments due to no news on weekends, So i thought it might be a good idea posting open forums on fridays/saturdays so that we can chat there on weekends untill more gaming news come on mondays next weeks in stead of spaming random “last” thread on weekends..

      • z_merquise

        Posting a new Open Forum during slow news days (the weekends) sounds like a good idea so I agree on what zakou and PrinceHeir suggested.

        Also, can we have Metal Gear Rising as your banner for the next Open Forum? Pretty please? It’s up to you guys which image you’re going to use. If you agree with my request, that is.

        • http://gematsu.com/ Zero

          Sure, I’ll let Sal know about it.

          Thanks for the feedback.

    • http://gematsu.com/ Sal Romano

      So Zero hit me up.

      We’ll start doing the Open Forums on Fridays.

      Makes sense, I mean, given the slow weekends.

      Also, I’ll use that sexy Raiden image for the next one, z_merquise.
