Upcoming Niche Japanese Games

Damn. I'm not surprised, but I was cautiously optimistic.

I doubt I'll be playing it.

A ton of news today, because June didn't already have too many things I wanted.

-Tales of Berseria has been given a release window of "early 2017" for the PS4 and PC in North America and Europe.
-Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization will see a North American and European release on the PS4 and Vita this fall.
-Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force is releasing in North America for the Vita on July 12th. May or may not be digital only, no word on that yet.
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heave will release on June 28th for the PS4 in North America.
-God Eater: Resurrection releases digitally (boooo) for the PS4 and Vita in North America on June 28th.
-God Eater 2: Rage Burst will release on August 30th in both North America and Europe. The PS4 version will receive a physical release, and all first-print North American copies will come with a download code for GE: Resurrection, and costume DLC stuff from some of Bandai Namco's other properties (Tales, etc.). For Europeans, these bonuses are obtained through preorders. The Vita version will be digital only (booo again)

-Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky will release in North America for the PS4 and PS Vita on October 18th. The game is being published by Aksys and will receive physical and digital releases. It will also feature English audio and the original Japanese audio. Yay for all of those things. As for Europe, the details of the game's release are being worked out but it will see a European release eventually in some form.

More info here for whoever is interested.

Exist Archive looks great - maybe I'll be finished with FFXV by then!

Starting on this week's pretty big update!

EDIT: Update finished!

Thanks for the updates! I'm really pleased about Exist Archive.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X now has a North American release date of August 30th. Much earlier than I had anticipated and only a few days after the release of the PS4 version in Japan. Both the PS4 and Vita versions will get physical launch editions that each come with a pouch for putting things in. No word yet on when Europe will be getting the release.

This is a super minor thing, but you have different listings for Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Blood Covered …Repeated Fear. These are one and the same.
The PSP release was called that in Japan to indicate that this is a remake, and since the 3DS version is a port of the PSP release, it's called the same.
In the west there is no need for that, because the PSP version was the first game in the series to be released over here, so it's just called Corpse Party. Same goes for this upcoming 3DS version.

Thanks for all the work!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I really wanted that game, it looked ace.

Yeah I can buy the digital copy and import a Japanese physical copy for my shelf. However it isn't the same.

Finally! Something that can hold my knickknacks. What should I put in there? The possibilities are endless.

Ah, thanks, I was confused by that one. I'll straighten it out when I do next week's updates.
