It's out now.

And with the release of Nier: Automata, pre-order for Dragon Quest Heroes II is live:

 

[CryptRat]

Released, only 10 bucks, nice.

 

[Siveon]

Released, only 10 bucks, nice.

I'm surprised they payed the cost to get an ESRB rating. I enjoyed what I've played of the demo so I don't think this one will let many people down. Especially for the modest price.

Still need to finish Atelier Firis - only half of the character endings and most of the endgame craft and combat ahead, and now i got Senran Kagura and Nier too. And only one week left to Battle Brothers release.

The latest issue of V-Jump has first details on Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory, the latest entry in the Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth series due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan in 2017.

Hacker’s Memory is set in the same world as the original Cyber Sleuth and features a new story “on the other side of Cyber Sleuth.” The protagonist is Keisuke Amazawa (name changeable), a young man who had to jump into the hacker world after he was made the criminal in a case he knows nothing about. Character designs look to again be by Suzuhito Yasuda.

The basic systems from the original Cyber Sleuth, including the Digi-Farm, will return, with various elements powered up. Over 320 Digimon will appear.

Bandai Namco will also include the original Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory as a pack-in title.

remake or sequel?

Either would be cool. Though I prefer the latter, it wouldn't be bad to have something for people without DS/DS Emulators to play.

remake or sequel?

' a history once told will unfold again, and an unknown path will be come to known"

a remaster with a new path/branch?

ihope it is a sequel because i love radiant historia and wanna play a new game set in that universe.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

My only gripe with this is that Atlus might make it for Switch like the next SMT which I am not buying for the foreseeable future

For Japan, a Seiken Densetsu compilation will be released for the Switch

 

[Hyperion]

Goddamnit, that intro tune to Secret of Mana brings back so many feels...

 

[Siveon]

For Japan, a Seiken Densetsu compilation will be released for the Switch

Since it's just a compilation, I don't expect the west to get this in any shape or form. If we do, it'd be done with a half-assed translation created 2-3 years after release (see: Romancing SaGa 2).

3DS remake

Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology

Yup, I'm okay with this.

 

[Hobo Elf]

More Digimon is nice. Digimon World Next Order completely blew Cyber Sleuth out the fucking water though so I'm hoping for more Digimon World games to come our way as well.

So, more like an expansion then. Still

Bandai Namco will release Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory both physically and digitally for PlayStation 4 and digitally for PS Vita in North America and Europe in early 2018, the company announced.

If only it was available for Steam.
Why do you hate PC users so much, Japan?

Yeah, while Bamco have been releasing most console games on PC simultaneously in recent years, looks like niche anime games (like Digimon and Sword Art Online games) are not part of the scheme. (Of course, Dragon Ball and Naruto are not niche).

In other news, Toukiden 2 is out now:

Because they make consoles

 

[Martius]

I'm just amazed people are still making 3DS games in the age of switch.

Atlus kept making ps2 games at 2008 so its nothing new for them. At least we know that new SMT is coming to switch so they will jump in sooner or later.

 

[flyingjohn]

So just played toukiden 2 and unless you have a xbox controller you can forget about playing this game.
No mouse support,can't rebind keys to numpad,arrow keys and game doesn't recognize playstation controllers.(could be a bug)
The performance is solid and it allows you to play at 60 fps,but the controls ruin the game if you are playing keyboard only.

 

[GrainWetski]

Just use DS4Windows if you have a PS4 controller.

 

[flyingjohn]

Both DS4windows and x360ce refuse to work with this game,it was the same thing with the original toukiden on steam.

I just played a bit of it with a PS4 controller and DS4Windows, though.
