Go check out Destructoid's collectible toy culture blog, which I proudly run:



Here is a list of things you should know about me:
I'm a female game/toy blogger living in New Orleans.
The NES is my favorite system of all time, closely followed by the PS2.
My DS is more or less glued to my person.
I can't resist playing Contra. Ever.
I think toys are the best solution to not wanting to grow up, and I have an always-growing collection of them, which is why I started Tomopop.
I require sushi for living.
I'm hopelessly addicted to Japanese dramas and skinny Japanese boys with awful hair.
I love wandering around used bookstores for hours.
I think about throwing rocks at people a lot.
I replay The Legend of Zelda about 5 times a year.
I read a lot.
I can't live without music.

Kon-kon!


This Pedro guy is pretty good.

And these RetroforceGo! people aren't so bad.


Actually, the people I work with are pretty freaking awesome in general.


Sometimes I put on costumes, too.

You guys all know that I have been really excited about Fragile, and some of you have shared my enthusiasm with your comments and questions. Thanks to a recent post from flamesofchaos, we found out that Xseed said the sales of Retro Game Challenge would decide whether or not Fragile would make it to US shores.

Now, this is basically a repost, and I'm not saying anything different from what flames said, but what I am asking is that if you are interested in Retro Game Challenge, Fragile or both, please buy this game if you can afford to. I have been known to not download some DS titles myself from time to time, but this one I went to the store and bought because I'm really hoping to be able to play Fragile in English.

Thanks for listening to this hopeful rant. Now back to your regularly scheduled Hamzazah festivities!

Colette I'm gonna buy the game just so you can save yourself the hassle of importing Fragile and learning Japanese.

Happy Hamzazorz to you !
God, I love seeing my random shark picture being out to good use! =]
I already helped the cause I guess. I've only played a little bit on my lunch break, but so far Retro Game Challenge is pretty fun, and at the very least pretty unique in presentation... If the other games are as well done as the Galaga clone this should be a blast...
Hmm, I'll grab Retro Game Challenge, certainly. I'm still not convinced on Fragile though. Still, you've got my support.
Buying ten copies right now. Fragile looks like an awesome game from the trailers and screen shots I've been salivating over for the past year or two. Thanks for reminding me Collete.
Way ahead of you Colette.
WOO! You guys are awesome!
If it doesn't come out in Europe soon, I'm going to import it...
I'll pick it up on friday.
Already bought it. When I picked it up yesterday, I bought the last copy, the guy at the counter said that it was the best-selling game of the day.

So that's good news.
Shit, I don't own a DS, or I would definitely buy this.
I bought it! I posted my Impressions late last night too. So, if you wants to know how awesome it is and why, check out my blog.

Hey Colette, is anyone reviewing it for the site?
I'm replacing a DS that got stolen from a friend this weekend, I might get this for her... but I really want to play kirby superstar with her also >.<
@Pappadukes: Don't let that stop you by any means! >P You can always get it now and get a DS sometime later.
Definitely getting this at some point. Gamecenter CX the show is awesome and this looks really fun.
...I will have to consider doing this. Fragile must make it here so I can play it! Thanks for the heads up Colette!
I've already done a comment about myself considering buying Retro Game Challenge without even caring if it helps Fragile come to the US/UK in another blog...

But anyway. And you look gorgeous in your Persona cosplay. >_>
So if I start a campaign against retro challenge, I can control fragile's fate.

Hmm.
@jackal27 -- I believe so, but if not I plan to!

@batthink - thank you so much <3
Is that you dressed at Mitsuru?
@kyousuke - It is!
I find it strange, that the sales of this game should be tied to the release of Fragile. Really strange.
I was at the store today, saw Retro Game Challenge, and didn't pick it up. Not that I didn't want to, simply that I didn't want to spend $30 today. Did my hesitation doom us all?
I want this game, but I just wish it could come out in Europe soon!
I may not have a lot of cash, but I've certainly got some games I can trade in. I'll go check out if I have enough for it tomorrow :3
Paraparaing: It has to do with Namco-Bandai holding the rights to both games in Japan. Proving that this game will sell well helps them prove to Bamco that Fragile will sell well, or something like that.

I already bought my copy. RGC is way more fun than it has any right being.
Yes, I will buy RGC! And only because you asked me to. <3
Oh this was going to be purchased by me but since you asked I'll get another for a friend! :)
YOU GUYS ROCK!
Anyone that dresses that as a Persona character is fine by me.

I shall purchase this retro game.
I went purchase this but they were sold out! Yarg!

Additionally, it looks like Best Buy sells it for 39.99, whereas GameStop sells it for 29.99, wtf?

Since when does GameStop have better priced on anything?
Definitely getting this game, Colette. Don't worry about me!

And you look gorgeous as Mitsuru :0
...

*deletes RGC from NOT R4 and proceeds to gamestop to buy a copy before colette rips off my testicles*
I will go sell stuffs to acquire moneys for this game! It's times like this that I wish I could produce sperm...
Retro Game challenge is already bought. It is indeed awesome. And more good news: I had to go to two Gamestops yesterday to find it. The first one was sold out, the second one had only one copy left.
Need to get Fragile... Must, give gamestop old games for money... This is killing me Colette, but Fragile looks too awesome.
@Misshinasaki- To be a man you must have honor! Honor and a penis! No seriously, that might be the funniest thing I've heard today.

Also, I can attest to RGC selling well. Noone in my town had it except one copy left at Gamestop (which is now mine). Best Buy is even back logged on orders.
Robot Ninja Haggle Man is awesome. He's a mechanical assassin that never pays full price!
That's Game Center CX right? I'd buy it but there's not even a release date for the UK ;_;
I just ordered it last night. It'll be at my house on Tuesday. When can I order Fragile?
@CoffeeSash the DS is region free so you can always get it eventually.
Holy shit, this is awesome. My only complaint with this RGC is that there are only 8 games :(
I'm looking forward to Retro Game Challenge!
Looks like a great idea for a game and a helluva lotta fun!
I will be owning it very, very soon!
Yee! =)
@Guagloves
So I'm contributing to an RPG coming out in America? I want it to come out in the UK hehe I am still waiting for the Tales game on the 360 :O
Already bought the game :) Got it the day it came out. Perks of working at Gamestop, I can save what games I want to buy before anyone else :P

Also, we only got 2 in our initial shipment. Which was...odd. Hopefully we get more so I can preach the awesomeness of it to customers.
I did NOT not download it just based on your suggestion.

(well, I did--just for convenience--but I bought the actual cart too.) ;-)
