Xanadu Next is such an amazing game, I'm super excited that so many new people will be able to play it.
..and then be disappointed at what the next game to carry the name is.
Why are you stuttering, I can clearly see it!
First thing I checked.

What happened to the Corpse Party PC port?
Sachiko happened.

Trails in the Sky SC wound up taking way longer than they thought.
And it's not a port. The PC version came first.

Likely being worked on now that SC PC is "finished".

Thanks. Hope it comes out soon 
Isn't that the corpse party that's in that new image?
Shinovi Versus
Xanadu Next
TitS SC
Corpse Party
Little King's Story
All hitting Steam soon
Its a shame that they went in that direction with TX, but it doesnt seem that bad. If they had kept the same atmosphere and design of XN it would have been so amazing.

The programming of Corpse Party PC turned out to be way harder than anticipated, so it's probably still a long way off.
Sara is porting the entire game to a new engine, isn't she? Technically, it'd be a port.
It topped the charts on release so Tokyo Xanadu seems to be in the right direction moneywise.
Yeah i'm definately not saying it was the wrong choice or anything, i'm very glad that a falcom game sold really well, but i just remember seeing the first teaser pic and going insane. I was thinking Xanadu Next but in modern apocalyptic tokyo..it would have been sweet.
Still very hyped to play TX when we get it.

I guess they want to start off with Next before doing Tokyo, which makes plenty of sense. Also helps that Next is supposedly fantastic.
This version won't be any better unless you have a $100 supercomputer that's more powerful than a Vita.
The joke doesn't work that well when it's not a Vita port.

From what I've seen of Xanadu Next, it reminds me of Vagrant Story a bit. People who have played it, is that accurate? I hope so, I love VS.

I'm definitely down to try Xanadu Next. The more Falcom games on Steam, the better.
I stopped playing due to the lack of pointer controls. WTF were they thinking forcing you to use the joystick? Hopefully they have good mouse controls in the PC version and rework it to run at 60 fps.

Xanadu Next is part of the 2nd Chapter which is one of the many installments of the very long running Dragon Slayer franchise by Nihon Falcom.
After almost every following game with the Dragon Slayer label was essentially the start of its own sub-series, and each sub-series having multiple games as well.
While each of the series underneath the Dragon Slayer franchise are all very different. It's is one of the longest running Japanese RPG franchises in video game history.
Games such as Legacy of the Wizard on the NES, the Legend of Heroes series, Xanadu, Sorcerian, and few others all fall under this label.

Xanadu Next is great news; very glad to see an old game so highly regarded as this make its way to US shores for the first time, and especially glad to see XSEED showing a commitment to mining Falcom's classic PC library.
Little King's Story is a pretty shocking but also great announcement; this game was excellent, but greatly underappreciated, on Wii. A PC version should let its visual style shine and hopefully let a lot more people get the chance to try it.

I don't know any of these games but I heard LKS is like Pikmin. Is that true? If so, they got me until Pikmin 4 is announced.

Mhm. Very happy to see the game get more attention.
She's only porting to the Pc version the extra-content that appeared in the later PSP version, and she's enhancing the original game by adding modern features such as widescreen support and HD resolutions.

Fantastic news, though the LKS screens look a bit off. It looks like the viewing angle has been changed, and is missing some screen effects. The palette looks different, and the depth of field looks entirely missing. It makes the package look a lot more sterile. The Wii release was like that to give the whole thing a more miniature, almost tilt-shift look. Still, Little King's Story is my favourite home console game from that generation, so the more people who can play it, the better.
Edit.
On closer inspection, the camera angle may be the same after all. Shadows are still missing though.
Looks like it was confirmed to be an early build. I'll revoke my complaints and hop onboard the appreciation train.

Haven't read through the whole thread yet, but just to comment on some stuff from the first few pages (apologies if old):
Not at all! In addition to announcing three new PC titles, we also showed off complete or near-complete builds of EDF2, EDF4, Nitro+, Cold Steel, SKEV and Popolo. You should be seeing impressions and info popping up for all of those very soon, perhaps with some additional announcements about some of them as well (I know I shared some new info on Popolo that you guys might be interested in, at least!).
Sadly, we don't have one of those yet! Just a general release window until the game is master-approved. But we'll let you guys know a definitive date as soon as we have one to give!
PC games are all we do now? Really? The VAST VAST MAJORITY of our titles, both announced and released in 2015, are for Vita, PS3, PS4 and 3DS. We've now added a few additional PC titles to the mix, but that's on top of an already existing mountain of console and handheld releases.
The screenshots you're seeing of LKS PC are from a very early alpha build. It's nowhere near feature-complete, so no fears -- we only showed you those screens to give you an idea of the HD up-rezzing. Effects and such will be in later.

Can you tell us who's going to be working on the PC ports, for SK specifically?
If we haven't announced it, then no, I'm afraid I can't.
I will say that LKS PC is coming along really well, though, and from what I hear, so is Shinovi Versus PC (though that one I have yet to see personally).

I am really pleased with the PC announcements Tom, exciting stuff. Do you know if Little King's Story will be locked to 30 FPS?

XSEED doing god's work. I expected XN sooner or later, it's nice to finally have confirmation. LKS came out of left field however. Happy that it's the Wii version too. Gonna express my gratitude by buying both day 1 like I usually do with XSEED PC games.
If there is a tease there, I don't actually know what it is. But honestly, we have so many games on our plate right now that I've downright forgotten what all there is -- plus, I've been in my own little world (called PopoloCrois!) for the last few months, and kind of oblivious to most of our other releases -- so... maybe?
