Hey, guys. Disgaea is coming to Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/405900/

New to Disgaea PC (It's not just a port!):

• Updated UI and textures
• Keyboard/Mouse and controller support
• Includes all content from Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
• New Steam features, such as Achievements, Cloud Saves, Badges, and trading cards

 

[Martius]

Sounds good but to be fair I thought they will choose one of most recent titles. Well, I never played any of them so starting with first should be fine.

 

[CryptRat]

Nippon Ichi coming to PC, that's awesome.

 

[Gerrard]

The mother of all grinds.

E: includes Japanese audio

As always,

No Gog no Gold

 

[Rahdulan]

So I guess everyone's losing their shit over Project Setsuna and calling it another Chrono Trigger or something.

 

[Archibald]

I don't see any Toriyama's designs.

Jap voices? fuck yeah!! I might actually purchase this knowing full well the game is shit.

 

[Archibald]

Hows gameplay? It seams, at a glance, to be based on Valkyrie Profile.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Supposedly pretty good.

That looks like quite strange alright. Let's see... *peeks inside and snoops around for info*
Hmm, open-ended gameplay? Multiple endings? A JRPG where the main character can equip fishing rods, swords, silats and even guns? Many, many female party members?
What about the achievements?

Spoiler

-[...]True Peeking of Master
Succesfully peek on the girls at the onsen.

-Number #3 Rule: Kids are not Delicious!
Bring party member but no adults when peeking at the onsen.

- I can't...!
Defeat Brometheus.

Looks like an Earthbound-inspired Persona 4 made in RPG Maker, but without the high-school crap. Unfortunately, the devs are not really proficient in English and it shows. Nevertheless, I'll keep an eye on it for the moment.

"Resonance of Fate" is on sale in the Euro Playstation Store for € 3,75, might be a good time to grab if if you missed it until now.

 

[LESS T_T]

Oh, right. Final Fantasy VI for PC rated by PEGI. It's most likely a mobile port though.

More Idea Factory/Compile Heart games to Steam.



EDIT: http://www.rpgsite.net/news/4642-fa...lanc-neptune-vs-zombies-launching-spring-2016

Tonight at Idea Factory International's 2nd annual press event, the publisher made several announcements regarding the Hypermdimension Neptunia series and other Compile Heart titles.

Firstly, both Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force (PS4) and MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies (PSVita) will be launching next Spring in North America. Advent Dark Force is an enhanced portof the original Fairy Fencer F, featuring larger battle parties and more story content.

In addition to these localization announcements, Idea Factory is also bringing more of their catalog to PC via Steam. Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart, Monster Monpiece, and Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed will be made available through Steam in 2016. Monster Monpiece will include cards removed from the localized Vita version.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Is there some kind of bottomless pit from which they pull out all these Neptunia games?

 

[LESS T_T]

If only other JRPG developers are as much active on Steam releases as them.

 

[GrainWetski]

Atlus, you reading this? Why do you hate making money?

 

[Martius]

Maybe they will cave in after Persona 5 will be done. I dont think they will care to port any of their handheld game.
