Siliconera: The console goddesses in Super Dimension Game Neptune are preparing to take on Majicon this week, but they aren’t alone. Compa-chan, IF, and some classic Sega characters are joining the fight.
"As previously reported, Idea Factory have applied for both Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth games for PC, and company president Yoshiteru Sato recently announced in Japan’s Dengeki PlayStation magazine that the series is indeed headed to Steam, and will be released in English, too". [Thanks, Zaregoto.]
“Nowadays, the demand for moé is quite high overseas, so, we must quickly release the main titles,” added Idea Factory business development manager Damien Urvois. “We also plan to release Fairy Fencer F on Steam next year.”
The fifteen rarest and most valuable games on the Playstation 3 and what makes them so rare.
Lol the cod ones arent rare i could look them up online and find them cheap.
Now the uncharted one that's a rare one weren't only a select few made if i call correctly??
Never understood that stupid decision...
Even if it was like £150...I would of still bought it.
And I have one! Courtesy of the 2009 tournament in Rosemont, IL! Team Drake represent!
I thank God I was able to buy Ar Tonelico Qoga for $60 and Hyperdimensional Neptunia for $50. lol!
I better get Hyperdimensional Neptunia MkII on release day to be safe. ^^
Yeah...i kinda wanna play Hyperdimensional Neptunia but its way overpriced >.< although i did get Qoga on release date. Now i'm just wondering if i should get MKII.
I too, am glad I got the limited editions of those two games before they became rare. Atelier Totori, which is also published by NISA, will probably become rare as well.
The funny things is I didn't even know Ar Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimensional Neptunia where release in limited numbers. lol!
No wonder a lot of people in my area can't seem to buy those games locally XD
I will be preordering H.N MkII also. As for Ar Tonelico Qoga, I wanted to get that but I'm not made out of money and I never play the other titles, I skipped out.
I still have the first one. xD Wish I remember who on N4G insisted that NISA limited editions are not limited and that the price for Hyperdimension Neptunia will fall in price.
It's really only the Disagea series that seems to be mass produce and on almost everything.
I so angry I didn't buy elite when I saw it randomly on the shelf and I'm glad I got hyperdimension
"People will always debate which genre is most popular among gamers. That’s simply because gamers, like every other hobbyist or animal, have varied tastes and different opinions. Up until this generation of hardware, there was one genre that stayed in the background while quietly deciding which platform won the console war of each previous generation."
I agree that they once had some kind of influence, but does anyone even play JRPGs anymore?
A lot of people still play turn-base JRPGs, when they actually get released. That's the point IMHO. They're enoigh of them.
Read the article, the point is that for every generation of gaming so far the console that had the most JRPG's is the console that also had the highest sales.
Love them or hate them, the guy has a really valid point
@limewax
Correlation is not causation. JRPGs are mostly stagnant messes with no innovation or understanding of audiences out their niche (I'm not talking about the philosophy of whether they need to be.)
I'd say the opposite, they'll have even less influence or importance next time around.
"JRPGs are mostly stagnant messes with no innovation"
And your point of view is not stagnant at all /s
you really need an update on things happenning..
This is why i got a 360, JRPGS
Lost Odyssey (best jrpg)
Blue Dragon (the dragon quest of this gen)
Magna Carta 2 (best battle system)
Vesperia (best tales game)
Last Remnant
Infinite Undiscovery
Eternal Sonata
Enchanted Arms
Resonance of Fate
FF13
Star Ocean 4
The 360 really stepped up although there arnt many anymore. I remember when there was jrpg after jrpg. I was soo hyped for magna carta 2 and resonance of fate, great games. The 360 has a ton of wrpgs also. Its the rpg console this gen. The original xbox had wrpgs on lock with lionhead, bioware, and bethesda and this gen they have even more. Cant wait for ff13vs.
Of course they do, JRPGs don't even get hyped anymore unless it's a Final Fantasy. All these magazines never even really mention them now all they talk about are FPS games and squeals to other games...Hell, they rarely even talk about new IPs.
Just look at Lost Odyssey, it was amazing and it was a game that never even really got talked about, Infinite Undiscovery was good too but people seen that graphics weren't amazing so they threw it aside. Star Ocean was good as well but people cried over voice acting. -_-
"The Next-Gen Console Winner will be Decided by the JRPG"
In Japan... yes.
In the rest of the world... No.
A bit off-topic, but that picture is closer to how I imagined a CGI Tifa looking, instead of how she looked in Advent Children.
Yea. I never understood why she looked like that in the original game's cut-scene and then she looks completely different in AC.
JRPG? if you mean action will decide it, then yes. Assassin's Creed, Castlevania AND THE LIKE.
You're a fool. I don't mean that in a mean way, but anyone who thinks Assassin's Creed and Castlevania are decided who wins, must be out there. If they were exclusive, they MIGHT have an impact.
Hmmm I would have said Next-Gen console winner would be decided by FPS rather than JRPG.
Every man and his dog plays FPS games and when you get massive JRPG releases like FF13 that fail to deliver (not an epic fail, but a fail for many) that doesn't do the genre any good. Most people who had never really experienced a FF game before are probably looking at the franchise now and thinking 'whats the big deal?'
FF XIII wasn't a JRPG. It was a horrible attempt by SE to merge JRPG and WRPG. The only real JRPGs I find are the rare Japanese imports or localized games like Hyper Dimension Game Neptune.
Valkyria Chronicles isn't even an RPG yet its consistantly listed as a JRPG. FF franchise is commonly known as JRPG.
Was just a reference point for what is considered, to date at least to be the biggest (by commercial standards) JRPG to be released.
valkyria chronicles is an rpg , just like disgaea
strategic or turn based, both are Jrpgs ..
Valkyria damage is based on stats and luck , same with movements . you manage a team of soldiers/heroes and go toward victory ..
heck they even got classes to choose from and recruitment of team members
@LimeyOtoko
Your logic is flawed, Demon Souls was made in Japan but it that doesn't make it a JRPG...its a WRPG.
And Valkyria Chronicles was a very good game, terrible game...how do you come to that conclusion?
@caseh - I know exactly what you mean. GameFly has games that are nowhere near RPG listed as such.
Valkyria Chronicles isn't an RPG?
Um, the more enemies you fight, the more you level up. That's like, the definition of an RPG.
They took a TRPG like FFTactics or Disgaea, added defensive firing, and voila.
The definition of RPG etc has become blurred over the years.
Look back to older PC games like XCOM and Jagged Alliance, FAR more depth than Valkyria yet the EXACT same play style yet they were always called Turn-Based Strategy which is far more fitting than JRPG which is what i would associate with games like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean etc etc
These days games like Valkyria get classed as JRPG just because troops have an exteremly basic leveling system and the art style resembles anime. *shrug*
Not really. Did those games you name have experience-based growth?
That's basically the most important factor.
Q: Does fighting the same thing over and over make me stronger?
A: Yes.
Conclusion: Probably an RPG.
See also "Can you level grind in it?" VC was as grindy as Dragon Quest, heheh.
It looks crap the graphics,but i like the idea of the story, if this comes to the US I'm definitely getting it game.
I hope someone localizes this game in the west...
