Forgotten Song

  Game? What?

In February 2007, Marvelous Interactive, Inc. released an Ah! My Goddess 3D adventure game for the Japanese Playstation 2 platform. The game has no subtitle, it's name is just simply Ah! my Goddess. Really, I think that they should have used a subtitle for the game, that would make it a heckuva lot easier to refer to. But that's just me.

Yes, the game is Japanese only. A couple of menu items, like "Skip Scene" and "Now Loading," are inexplicably written in English. However, everything else about the game is completely Japanese. And yes, the game is designed to only be playable on a Japanese PS2. However, those of you who own North American PS2 systems, I know that there are ways to get around this. That's totally not my area of expertise, however, so if you want to know more, I am completely the wrong person to ask.

No, there are no plans for the game to be licensed and translated into English... yet. If any licensing company snatches it up, I'm sure that many people will be jumping for joy, and many wallets will be crying. ;)

Two editions of the game were released. Information on both editions is below.

  Limited Edition "Holy Box"

  Where to Buy

As this game was only released in Japan, you will have to rely on your favorite import game dealer to get it for you. I know that the following websites stock both editions of the game:
