The game you are thinking of is developed by Psikyo, of all people. I don't know what the romanized name is, but here's a link. I'd like to try this one myself.

Ping Pong rocks!

This game looks totally sweet, but I'm guessing the chances of us EVER seeing it released here is slim-to-none... :(

Is it me, or does this character look strikingly similar to K?

I tried to PM this to you, but your mailbox was full :)

Hey Dog$, can I make a page for your Black Matrix 2 impressions on my website ?? I think it would compliment my upcoming Black Matrix A/D review very well. I just started A/D last night... slow start but seems promising :)

Oh, and my website is jetsetradio.freeyellow.com

It's a Taito import that sounds very interesting. A simple RPG where you draw characters and the game models them in 3-D. Wish someone could post some impressions. *-neo

No way. I could MAYBE see Gundam coming out here, but the arcade game wasn't released here. But Winning Eleven 5 or 6 released in America? Get the hell out. There is no way some company would release this game here. Europe, maybe. USA? Nah. It would be incredible if it did so people wouldn't have to put up with the yearly FIFA shite and enjoy a true football sim. I already have my import copy and to make it even better, a patched copy of Rhapsody's translated WE6. 100% English. Best football game ever.

MS Gundam: Federation Vs Zeon is coming to the US, I've heard anywhere between July and October. What I've played of the DC version I recommend the game highly.

And Kabuki, that would be very cool Raguki comes out. *-neo

I read on some website that Akira Psychoball was put on "indefinite hold" for a US release :(

Import PS2 games that I recommend:

The Gran Turismo Concept series...the 2002 one is coming out soon
Akira Psychoball (if it doesn't get released here)
Ministry of Sound music/game (it's PAL format though)
I guess any shooters....how many are there so far anyway?

The Gundam game is almost a guarantee (there have been a few PSone and PS2 Gundam games released Stateside lately).

Winning Eleven 6... maybe I should have put is as a "maybe" and not a "should" :) Is the game a straight-up futbol game or is it like RPG soccer - i.e. why has the series never made it to the US ?? I don't play sports games very much at all, so I have no idea on this one...

Hmm good import PS2 games...Atelier Lilie is good (albeit text heavy for the Japanese-illterate), and the sequel(Atelier Judie) should be coming out soon. Surveillance and Scandal also seem interesting even though they are supposed to be short.

Night Raid ( My review of G-Net arcade game here. Graphics may turn out to be better than the arcade.)
Shiro no Shikigami
Biohazard Gun Survivor 2 (Capcom got help from Namco on this one, and it pays off)
Psyvariar
DDRMAX
GunGrave
Gitadora! (Guitar Freaks 4th Mix & Drum Mania 3rd Mix)

Games to get preorders in ASAP if they come out:
DoDonPachi Dai-ou-jou
G-Stream
XII Stag (another Taito G-Net title, I'd about bet on it given how often the G-Net shmups have made it to a console)
Border Down (the one by G.Revolution)

Regarding Takumi... I'd like to see them bring out a Kyukyoku Tiger 3, whatever system it is on.
