Upcoming Niche Japanese Games

[abe]

Atlus has announced that they're localizing Lost Dimension (PS Vita) for North America some time this summer. I'm glad to hear this, since I thought it looked pretty interesting when it came out in Japan a while ago.

Here's the game's first localization trailer

Here's a video of some gameplay too, to give you an idea of what the game plays like.

I have been interested in this one. Thanks for posting the gameplay video. Didn't know much about it, but now it looks like yet another one I need to play

Fixed it for ya   It doesn't like the s in https:// for some reason, so you need to take it out.

That's odd, I didn't do anything different from what I usually do for embedding stuff here. Thanks for the fix.

Updated the OP. Also, Lost Dimension is coming out for the Vita AND PS3.

Not adding it to the list because it's not Japanese, but I think this will appeal to most of us here. There's a physical version of Child of Light coming to the Vita in NA in a couple of weeks, on 3/24! Looks like it's retailing for $20.

Oh, good to know! Though it retails for $15 on Steam :/

I was really hoping to have a physical copy of this at some point, but someone's already gifted me the Steam version.  Maybe I'll try to pick up the retail box if it goes on sale/is cheap just to have it.

Also, have folks already received their copies of Shallie?  I was annoyed to get an email from them on the 11th that they needed me to do the PayPal thing.  So it'll be a while longer before I get it, I'm sure.  Just annoying that they didn't contact me sooner about it.  I checked my emails to see if maybe I missed an earlier email from them about it but nothin'.

[davifus]

Yeah, I got mine Wednesday.

[disgaeniac]

Yeah, I got mine Wednesday.

Same - received my copy on Wednesday, too.

But, I pre-ordered mine from Amazon (and with Prime)...I'm assuming the Paypal problem = pre-ordering from N1; right?

Also:  what's this

Lost Dimension game like & about?

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere here, let alone announced anywhere else, so I apologise if I'm just repeating what someone else has posted and/or if this isn't the right place to ask...



A Tales of Symphonia Chronicles + Tales of Graces Compilation which seems to be going for about £15 on preorder. Only on Rice Digital the release date says 27th of March, whilst on two other stores it says 3rd of April.

Anyone else heard of this?

I haven't, but I only track NA releases. I don't know WHAT you guys are up to "on the other side of the pond".

I see :<
I thought it might have a NA release as well, but couldn't find any other versions, which is why I asked. It'd be odd if it was EU only.

Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo will be releasing (digitally-only) next Tuesday for the PS Vita for $15. The game is an action-RPG developed by Arc System works and features giant robots fighting other giant robots.

Here's the game's localization trailer

Ouch - S-E just listed the CE for FF XIV: Heavensward on their website, and it's a whopping $130. It only comes w/ a dragon mount statue, art book & "additional content disk" - plus the expected exclusive digital junk, of course. So the statue is the big draw here. It looks cool, but given that the expansion by itself is only $40, it doesn't look $90 cool. Especially since I'll have to buy 2 copies (one for my wife as well) and it's a game w/ a subscription fee....nope, not happening.

I may not even get this one at release, if the Xenoblade Chronicles X rumored release date is true (supposedly 3 days after this comes out).

A limited edition exclusive to an online retailer has been announced for Steins;Gate in Europe. I'm not sure if North America will get something like this or not, but it's import friendly not only because the PS3 & Vita aren't region locked, but this retailer offers "free worldwide shipping <3" (according to their article on the game). According to their listing, the game is due to be released this May. I haven't heard any confirmation of a release date anywhere else, but it might be fairly accurate.
