They just opened their US branch earlier this year, so they've published a couple so far I believe.  Couldn't tell you what they are tho.

They've published Monster Monpiece in NA and Europe so far. Not sure if they've published other stuff yet. Aksys has still been publishing Hakuoki, and NIS America has continued publishing some of their other stuff.

Did some overdue updating to the OP, everything should be correct now according to the info I could find.  No newly announced games AFAIK.

Yay!  ;D

I also read about that Freedom Wars release date this morning, but then I got sidetracked and forgot to update it.  Stupid work.  :P

Mighty Gunvolt has been announced for a North American release. It's a 3DS download only crossover thingie with playable characters from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Mighty No. 9, and Galgun. The game is done in a retro style that resembles one of the older 8-Bit Mega Man games. The game will be free to those who buy Azure Striker Gunvolt game from its release date up until the 28th of November of this year. After you buy Azure Striker Gunvolt from the 3DS eShop, you'll be sent the download code for Mighty Gunvolt. It isn't planned as a standalone title for North America yet (it will be eventually in Japan), but it sure is a neat little bonus if you plan on buying Gunvolt. :)

NIS America tweeted a teaser of the Ar noSurge logo blurred out. The tweet was made well after Ar noSurge was announced for a U.S. release.
Also, Ar noSurge Plus is simply a vita port of Ar noSurge. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything.

Ah, I gotcha'

I don't use/follow any social media so, I'm not surprised that this is the 1st that I'm hearing of it.

Did JP get a Plus/Vita version of it?

I was hoping for a Ciel no Surge announcement instead.  Don't really care to have 2 versions of ANS, and I'd much rather play a JRPG on the TV than a portable. 

EDIT:  I also see that the Neptunia Rebirth LE didn't last long.  Kinda glad, that removes that temptation.  ;)

Awesome, I was wondering when IF was going to get around to that. Hopefully they'll announce a localization for the two spinoffs we don't have yet, and HDN Victory II. :) Too bad I missed out on the LE for Re;Birth 1. :'(
