I'm sorry for being stupid, but what games do they make again?
@Snatcher
They're most famous for the Hyperdimension Neptunia series of RPGs.
@JR150 Oh ok thank you, I thought I have seen the art style some were.
If only I'm still into anime like in my teen age I would be all over these games but nowadays I prefer games with a more artistic appeal. Still I may look to trying one of these if ever they are found at the bargain bin.
Cupid Parasite! Waiting fo it.
All of the above.
Good stuff. I particularly welcome Mary Skelter (still on the first game, but its lore, cast and gameplay mechanics sum up to one heck of a first person dungeon crawler); too bad its planned "European" release is likely to skip Russia again, but it's likely enough for me to confidently put it on my US eShop wishlist at once. Yes, I'm still lowkey perplexed about zero traces of Fuga here (I thought only the mobile industry had the occasional oddity of calling US releases "worldwide"?), although there's still a bit of hope come 6 PM today.
@Specter_of-the_OLED I'm still into this stuff at 34. It's not necessary to blame your age for what sounds more like a mere shift in tastes and preferences.
Can anyone tell me how the first Death end re;Quest was? It intrigued me but I never heard much about it after release.
I just hope I'll be able to get physical versions of Mary Skelter and Death End ReQuest.
@nhSnork I can sadly confirm that European releases of Japanese games skip Central Europe quite often as well. We have to hope that at least one store decides to ship it.
@SigmaNoire I'm sadly well aware of it, but when a game is announced to have multiple European text languages (and one newspost even claimed that the only voiceover language besides Japanese is... French), you'd be excused for not quite expecting it to skip Europe.😅
Thankfully, my worries were alleviated in the end - the game is up among new releases on eShop here. The $40 price converted to Akiba's Trip "tier" instead of Great Ace Attorney one (meaning a good 600 rubles more than I allocated for it), but there are good odds of me getting the game now at launch anyway, even despite not being through with Tail Concerto or Solatorobo yet.
EDIT: consider the latter jinxed - Great Ace Attorney just elbowed its way back to the priority top with the promise of early purchase bonus. Joining a lower price and much closer proximity in my franchise binge (I should be well halfway through SoJ now)... guess that's an objection I won't overrule.😆 Still inclined to get Fuga within this autumn, though.
@Specter_of-the_OLED I will take anime over basically anything produced by Hollywoood or western studios all day any day.
Not sure if that's what you meant but...
To each their own.
@Snatcher Nepu Nepu Nepu!
@realityxaidan I just got a new copy in from LRG. I bought it based off the review from Noisy Pixel on YouTube. They review a lot of these niche jrpg's.
