I've let this thread get way behind over the holidays - are their any more I missed besides the last 2 you posted abe? (I'm pretty sure there are...  :-\ )

Other than those two, I think the only announcement I didn't bother making a post for was the release date for Brandish: The Dark Revenant (PSP). Xseed has been slightly less vague and we've now got a release date of January 2015 instead of just "early 2015". Still no solid date though. Unfortunately, the holidays have been kinda slow for localization announcements (for games that belong in this thread anyways). :( Lots of stuff has been announced for Japan that I'd like to see make it over here though. :)

I thought Brandish was coming out on the 13th? Digital only, but for PSP/vita.

This one hasn't been announced for North America yet, but Europe is getting it and the PS3 is region-free (and I thought it was neat) so I figured I'd post it here. The Arland Atelier Trilogy will be releasing for the PS3 on March 6th in Europe. The game includes Atelier Rorona, Totori, and Meruru. Unfortunately, the "plus" versions of the games are not the ones included in this trilogy.

Aw that sucks. I'm playing Atelier Iris right now and have been thinking about picking up the others but am annoyed that the plus versions are digital only...

Atelier Rorona Plus had a physical release on the PS3, but unfortunately the Vita "Plus" versions of the Atelier series are digital only.

Yes, it's supposed to be releasing this Tuesday now.

Yep, this hopefully means that they'll localize the game by the end of 2015, or early 2016 at latest. I'm pretty hyped for this, even with the new musical direction.

OK, I *finally* updated!  :P

Big one too, I implemented the changes we discussed which included creating a "previously released" section to archive releases in (I'm starting now, not going to go back & dig up ones that have already been deleted) and adding all JRPGs regardless of whether or not they're considered "niche". Didn't mark what was added/changed this time, because there was a LOT. Lemme know if I missed anything, as always! :D

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D for the New 3DS is scheduled to release this April in North America! :D No solid release date yet, but it releases in Europe on the 2nd of April, so I would imagine we wouldn't be too far behind.

In other news... a new Fire Emblem game for the 3DS has been announced!! ;D So hyped! This one's coming from the same team behind Fire Emblem Awakening and judging by the game's trailer, characters actually have feet in battle animations this time. :P

Here's the Nintendo Direct trailer for the new Fire Emblem

*Edit: Forgot this one-
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS) is set to release in North America and Europe this February 13th. It's also getting a Limited Edition New 3DS XL which will be a GameStop/EB Games in North America.

*Edit 2: I don't want to double post so close together, so here's some more info-
Etrian Mystery Dungeon (3DS) is set to be released on April 7th in North America.

*Edit 3: Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (3DS) has a release date set! So hyped!!-
The game is set to release in North America on May 26th.

Today was an awesome day for news. :D

Updated! In addition to the info you guys posted I also added Code Name S.T.E.A.M. to the release list. Also, I typically don't mention preorder bonuses since that seems like a lot to try to keep up with, but I felt the Gamestop-exclusive Majora's Mask pin for preordering STEAM deserved a special mention.

The Majora's Mask pin comes with preorders of Code Name S.T.E.A.M.? ??? Wut :o

Also, NIS America has announced that Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (PS Vita) will be release on April 14th. They've also announced that it will be compatible with the PlayStation TV.

No idea, unless Nintendo is using that to try to sell a new IP.

It's a good idea I suppose. It might've worked for me, but no bonuses like that at EB Games in Canada unfortunately. :( It's too bad, because I'm kinda on the fence with this one. I'm not sure I like the look of the game so far, but it's from one of my favorite publishers... I probably won't bother with it until later, unless it turns out that it's amazing. What are your thoughts on it so far?

The steampunk part, heheh. :P Kidding (sorta).

I love Fire Emblem and enjoyed what I've played of Advance Wars, but I haven't played and of the Valkyria Chronicles series, so I don't really know what to expect from this game.
