Remember how Atlus was asking fans if they’d be interested in a reprint for Radiant Historia last week? Well, it seems that the company will be publishing a new round of copies next month.
According to Amazon.ca, Radiant Historia will be available on March 19. Those who plan on purchasing the title can pre-order it from the retailer here.
Technically Atlus hasn’t confirmed a reprint, but I’d say this is a pretty good sign!

Denpa Ningen RPG offers arguably the most in-depth experience of any demo on the eShop thus far.
The demo itself, which is on the Japanese store right now, contains a large amount of gameplay. Users may find themselves playing for up to thirty minutes or possibly even an hour.
Perhaps most important is that the Denpa Ningen RPG demo can transfer a save file to the final downloadable version. Once players complete the demo, they’ll be notified that their progress can be implemented in the retail edition.
