Thanks guys!

AirMech is a great game. Can't wait to hear what Mr. Green has to say about it.

Chris I wouldn't count on Grand Knight History getting a European release. Rising Star don't make any mention of the game anywhere on there site nor have they responded to the thread about it in the forums there. The initial information about them picking the game up seems to have come from a French site and that seems to say it was in someway tied into the work XSeed were doing. IE they were just going to touch up the US version with proper English. Also give how the cancellation was worded on the XSeed side it sounds like one of the issues was getting developer resources from the Vanillaware side. I sure hope it does happen but it's not looking good right now.

Also Trav TellTale Games didn't make the Lego Games. That would be Traveller's Tales.

*sadface* that sucks.

You know... I did a double take on that one, but couldn't think of who made them.

If you want to get really skeptical it's not a stretch to think that part of the Grand Knight History thing is due to issues Vanillaware is having with Dragon's Crown. This cancellation plus the delays and publisher switch I get the bad feeling that Dragon's Crown is having/causing some issues.

It sounds like Vanillaware is just having general problems, which makes me sad b/c their games are awesome, but also, not extremely popular due to their 2D and (mostly) fantasy nature.
Seems like gamers (especially American gamers) want "OMGBOOM" graphics instead of the artistic type of presentation that Vanillaware delivers.

that sucks!
I seriously thought this type of game would run on just about anything considering it ran on my POS HP.
