New blog post time! This week's game is Radirgy de Gojaru!, the bite-sized Japan-only 3DS entry that's based on a mode from the Xbox 360-exclusive Radirgy Noa Massive. Such an odd approach didn't earn it any favors at the time, but I found some fun in visiting it now and laying out all the details:

Radirgy de Gojaru!
Radirgy de Gojaru is such an interesting game to me. It’s often misunderstood in the wider English sector of the gaming landscape, but not by that much. It’s a genuine, workable concept that could …

Came across a weird new-to-me kind of object at the thrift store. 45 RPM single with a handwritten label, "take 5" after the song title. I looked it up and it seems this is from a studio that did direct-to-vinyl lathe cut recordings of live performances.

That digital release was also a very shoddy localizaton that removed most of the game's dialogue. I'm hopeful this is going to be a fresh localization, or at least something that adds back all the missing stuff.
