   Weird PSN update? I thought this game would never come to NA, but Kaleidoscope has come. I don't know if I want to get it or not. And the 5-in-1 bundle from Icon contains Arcade Hockey & Bowling, Arcade Darts, Bashi Blocks, and Family Games. You save $8 dollars

   I feel like I always miss the bundles and the sales. At least the games were good. My favorite was Bashi Blocks.

   Did you misinterpret what I wrote? Because you didn't miss anything. . . .

   What I meant to say was that I missed the chance to save $3 dollars. I could have bought another mini to go to my collection.

   Oooooh, you meant that you wished you had waited for the bundle instead of buying the games separately, so you could have saved money. Well, look at it this way: the extra money bought you the time you spent playing the games before the bundle was available. Sort of like spending more money when you ship something via express mail instead of scenic-route mail.

    Farm Frenzy: Pizza Party is now out in both North America and Europe.

    I Kill Zombies - Open Emotion Studios - EU: 2012/04/11
    LA Gridlock - Immersive Games - EU: 2012/04/11
    Nom Nation - Playerthree - EU: 2012/05/16
    Wizorb - Beatshapers/Tribute Games - 2012/07?
    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever
    Carnivores: Extreme Hunting - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_1] - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_2] - Beatshapers
    Super Champion Baseball - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Farm Frenzy 3 - Alawar Entertainment
    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment
    Revenge of the Recipe - Twisted Dragon Media (currently on hold)

    I wonder if I should remove those first 3 titles from the list. There's an increasingly lower likelihood of any of them coming to North America.

    I've removed I Kill Zombies, LA Gridlock, and Nom Nation from the list, since it's been so long since their EU releases that it seems unlikely they'll ever come to North America. Of course, there have been Minis with really long periods of regional exclusivity before, but I don't think that's normally how it is.

    I didn't realize I'd be making two updates to this topic today.

    Wizorb - Beatshapers/Tribute Games - NA: 2012/07/24; EU: 2012/07/25
    I Kill Zombies - Open Emotion Studios - EU: 2012/04/11; NA: 2012/07/24
    Time Soldiers - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Gang Wars - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever

    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment

    I Kill Zombies mocks me and returns to the list. :) Let's see if LA Gridlock and Nom Nation will follow suit. My guess is no, though.

    I think NN might come since Playerthree's other games are here.

    The thing is, Nom Nation was jointly created with the UK's Channel 4 TV station. Playerthree may not have a choice in whether it gets released here. Even if it's not released on the PSP outside the UK, though, it's still playable at the PlayNomNation.com website.

    Farm Frenzy 3 is now out. The list shrinks once again.

    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever
    Carnivores: Extreme Hunting - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_1] - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_2] - Beatshapers
    Super Champion Baseball - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Chopper I - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    The Next Space - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment
    Revenge of the Recipe - Twisted Dragon Media (currently on hold)

    I wonder if I should throw SNK's Safari Rally into the list. It was announced at one time, late last year, but perhaps it will be permanently MIA.

    Beatshapers' secret titles, maybe they will be ports like Wizorb was. If so, I have mixed feelings about that. While it's great to get good games from other platforms (Blimp: The Flying Adventures! Mighty Flip Champs! DX!), having the release slate be made up mostly of ports and emulations is a little depressing.

    Hi guys, sorry for the lack of communications - really busy with games.

    secret_title_1 will be revealed by OPM Australia this week, as well as interview about minis.
    But we believe secret_title_2 will be released earlier because its almost done, expect it in end of september, early october, depends on Sony's Format QA.
    Stay tuned.

    Good point. I didn't realize Europe hadn't gotten the two recent SNK Minis yet.

    Time Soldiers - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Gang Wars - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever
    Carnivores: Extreme Hunting - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_1] - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_2] - Beatshapers
    Super Champion Baseball - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment
    Revenge of the Recipe - Twisted Dragon Media (currently on hold)

    Maybe you should tell OPM Australia to reveal secret_title_2 instead, so that it becomes secret_title_1, as the first released of the two. :P How's that for confusing?

    Time Soldiers has been released in Europe.

    But no Gang Wars.
    By the way, you forgot Chopper and I The Next Space.

    Ha, I hope secret_title_1 didn't start before Duke Nukem Forever, then. :)

    huicho619, thanks for catching that. I'm not sure how those got left out of my copy-paste. While wading through the PEGI ratings (which was how JeremyR discovered those two games) just now, I came upon a Mini created by university students meant to be released, at least in the UK, later this summer.

    Gang Wars - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever
    Carnivores: Extreme Hunting - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_1] - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_2] - Beatshapers
    Chopper I - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore
    The Next Space - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Super Champion Baseball - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment
    Bounceback - Sheffield Hallam University Enterprises Limited
    Revenge of the Recipe - Twisted Dragon Media (currently on hold)

    I'm wondering whether I ought to put Alawar's Mystery Cruise into the list. It has both PEGI and ESRB ratings now--but the latter was done well over a year ago, with no release yet. Maybe I should just start a "seems unlikely" list and add it in, along with LA Gridlock, Nom Nation (these two for NA), and Safari Rally. If we're feeling really generous, we could even include those other titles from the creator of Mecho Wars.

    JeremyR, do you want to write a blog post on Bounceback? Also, don't forget to check on Gang Wars' developer.

    I recall we have one or two New Zealanders here, but no forum members from Australia have posted in a while. So if you want us to find out from the magazine, you're, um, going to have to have them send you a copy of the issue and then take some pictures. :P Might be easier just to tell us. . . .

    JeremyR, no interest in posting about the Mini made by college students?

    Gang Wars - G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/07/24
    Chopper I - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/08/21
    The Next Space - presumably G1M2/SNK Playmore - NA: 2012/08/21
    Arson and Plunder - Ninja Fever
    Carnivores: Extreme Hunting - Beatshapers
    [secret_except_in_australia_title_1] - Beatshapers
    [secret_title_2] - Beatshapers
    Super Champion Baseball - G1M2/SNK Playmore
    Hotel Mogul - Alawar Entertainment
    Bounceback - Sheffield Hallam University Enterprises Limited
    Revenge of the Recipe - Twisted Dragon Media (currently on hold)

    And here's the "seems unlikely but could possibly happen for the given reason" list:

    Mystery Cruise - Alawar >> has ESRB and PEGI ratings
    LA Gridlock - Immersive Games - EU: 2012/04/11 >> has been released in Europe this year
    Nom Nation - Playerthree - EU: 2012/05/16 >> has been released in Europe this year
    Safari Rally - G1M2/SNK Playmore >> was originally scheduled for release in 10/2011

    P.S. I do know German. ;)

    Question for Beatshapers. I went to go check your website to find information about [secret_except_in_australia_title_1]. And I saw the URL to your website is http://www.nurium.com. I am curious to know why it is called Nurium.

    I was going to do a thing on BounceBack, but the trick is that I don't have any screens or video I can use for it.

    They've uploaded a video on youtube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PEOJyc5W6U

    But they disabled enabling, so I can't do that in a post, and while I could grab screenshots, presumably if they don't want the video shared, they don't want the screenshots, either. Shrug.

    You know, between this and those games from that school in Scandinavia (Metara and I think 1-2 others), I think maybe these game development schools should have a class in PR as well.

    I assume you meant they disabled embedding. You could still just link to the video, though, and maybe just use a picture of the university's logo on the post? :)

    If I were to guess, by the way, I would say BounceBack will only release in Europe. Universities don't seem like the kind of publishers interested in global releases. "We said we would publish the project, and doing it once is good enough." They're not in it for the money, only in it so that they can say they've done it.
