BROs, with more and more English PC releases of Japanese games I think one thread with links to eShops would be convinient.
Only "normal" retailers please, which should filter out most VNs (nothing of value lost).

I'll start with games avialable on GoG, since I shop there.
I'm more interested in games originaly released on consoles and ported to PC later (PS3 -> PC in case of Valkyria Chronicles, PC JAP -> consoles -> PC ENG in case of Ys games) than in games released on consoles and PC simultaneusly (Resident Evil games). But whatever, post them if you want.

Only some Steam links for now since I'm lazy. I would be thankful if some Steamfag created a masterlist of japanese games available on Steam, similar to the one I did (GoG). With this I would add Steam links to GoG links above.

*Edit: China and Worse Korea is fine too.

That was fast.

:thumbsup:

Steam links for games I listed, but only with GoG links, would be nice as well.

Maybe not. Some of them are re-releases of re-releases. Let's take FF3 as an example. Which is ITZ original platform? NES? DualScreen? PSP?

:roll:

also, this link to a steam curator of Japanese games might help others identify more. Might do it later tonight myself, but still at work right now.

IWhat is the purpose of an arbitrarily non-comprehensive list of games that have no commonality other than country of origin?


ummm...I thought it was to list an arbitrary non-comprehensive list of games by country of Asia?

It's mostly complementary to my "translations" and "emulation" threads. It's generally about Jap games you previously had to emulate, using unofficial translation, and now you can just buy them for PC. Or something.

:oops:

Oh, OP has been massively declined.

I like the idea, but it'd be much more useful to indicate the genre, too, I think. And also maybe condense the OP by making it "one game, one line" like this:

200% Orange Juice (VN/RPG) Steam
(Yes, the developer is Japanese: http://www.siliconera.com/2015/08/14/200-mixed-juice-celebrates-10-years-of-its-japanese-developer/)

99 Spirits (Puzzle/RPG) Steam

Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed (ARPG) Steam

Cherry Tree High Comedy Club (VN) Steam
(Dev is Japanese: http://cherrytreehigh.com/interview)

Ether Vapor Remaster (Shoot 'em up) Steam

Fortune Summoners (ARPG/sidescroller) Steam

Forward to the Sky (Action adventure) Steam

Final Fantasy 13-2 (RPG) Steam

Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence (Strategy) Steam

Samurai Warriors 4-II (Action/Hack'n'Slash) Steam

Sonic Generations (Platformer) Steam

This Starry Midnight We Make (Simulation, sort of) Steam

Toukiden: Kiwami (Action/ARPG) Steam

War of the Human Tanks (Strategy) Steam

War of the Human Tanks - ALTeR (Strategy) Steam

I'm too lazy to do that plus I don't care about game genres that much - many games are hard to pinpoint. What genre does Recettear belong to: jRPG / Shop simulator / Dungeon crawler? :roll:

Stuff like that:
Code:
Agarest: Generations of War
[url=http://af.gog.com/game/agarest_generations_of_war?as=1649904300]GoG[/url]
[url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/237890/]Steam[/url]

is much easier to me to handle in a .txt file than:
Code:
Agarest: Generations of War
[url=http://af.gog.com/game/agarest_generations_of_war?as=1649904300]GoG[/url] [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/237890/]Steam[/url]

No point in (the list) if it's not complete anyway.
My opinion is exactly the opposite. Our prestigious magazine should not promote the sub-human, racially inferior, sexually oppressive, no-gameplay bullshit.

Then why is Final Fantasy there? :cool: (Or Hatoful Boyfriend, for that matter)

Plus, Akiba's Strip does have gameplay. It's just an odd beat 'em up RPG about taking peoples clothes off. No biggie.

First 6 FFs were decent. And Hatoful Boyfriend is a timeless masterpiece, what are you talking about?

Mostly poking fun at the later FF's. But Hatoful Boyfriend is most certainly a "no-gameplay" VN*.

*I think. Never played it.
