I am SO excited to see that this game is coming to America!! I played it in Tokyo at a special Xbox 360 promo studio. Unfortunately, I think it's a waste to by an Xbox 360 system just to play this game (since I'm not really interested in any of the others). Any chance you think N3 would be released for regular Xbox?

Hey Kim! Thanks for commenting. :_D It's unlikely that we'll see it released on the original Xbox, unfortunately. Microsoft (they're the ones publishing it, though a Korean-Japanese team developed it) is putting all their resources toward finding ways to compete with Sony and Nintendo, and that means focusing on their current system, it seems.

But if you liked 99N, I might recommend the Dynasty Warriors series on PlayStation 2, if you've got that. It's not going to be as visually impressive, but it's got a similar "wade through a sea of enemies" feel to it. Take care, hope you're having an excellent summer.

Hey! Thanks for that advice! I'll check out Dynasty Warriors, though it's hard for me to get access to my PlayStation 2, since my dad is usually playing Madden 2000something on it. :-p Thanks again!!
