Upcoming Niche Japanese Games

[argyle]

I'm gonna try to do more frequent updates over the next couple of weeks with all the news coming out around E3. That said...

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 releases worldwide this December.

It's so weird to me that 1.5 and 2.5 were on PS3, but 2.8 is going to be on PS4.  If they re-release 1.5 and 2.5 on PS4, I might cry.

That's actually a good possibility consider how the FF X/X-2 Remaster was originally only ps3/ vita and then had a ps4 release later on.

I know, and I still haven't played them, any of them... and my wife is going to make me buy them again.

Another Touhou game, though this one is a roguelike RPG!

2.9

3 disk collection of all of them for PS4.

Inevitable.

Nice, love me some roguelikes!

So I was wondering why I couldn't find a listing on Gamestop for the new Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven so close to its release date. Turns out it's digital only in the US. But anyone who's interested in it can import it from the UK, where it will get a physical release:

Added!

Speaking of, my wife has become addicted to visual novels, preferably on the Vita. Her "gateway drug" was Hatoful Boyfriend, but since then she's played Norn9 and is currently playing Steins;Gate. She had me order her Code: Realize last night. Are there any others currently out that are good / worth picking up?

Hakuoki for the PSP was great. I think there is a translation for Kanon somewhere, too.

Yup, I got her the PSP Hakuoki too. Only problem is we discovered my PSP screen has severely deteriorated. A ton of dead pixels and a row right down the middle where the image is "shifted" slightly off vertically. I'm gonna have to try to replace it.

Nier: Automata has been confirmed for release next year, but no specific date yet. I'm actually glad, too much this year already (and a lot of that is from S-E! ). I also added Gravity Rush 2 to the list because I feel it's niche enough for our purposes.

I moved the released games to the archive, but I'm going to leave the current new / updated tags until next week's update due to all the E3 news.
