That’s a pretty good line up. Couple of games I was going to get anyway, and some I was less sure off so will happily try as part of the sub.
Microsoft really pushing for the Japanese market recently is definitely interesting. I have to wonder how successful it actually is, considering that xbox basically has fuck all household recognition outside the English world up until recent.
That said, it’s nice that xbox is getting Japanese games on it solely just for more consumer choice here where xbox is actually popular, though Playstation still beats it by a landslide in that department.
