What does Sony have to do with an Atlus game?

Amazon is Lisa Lisa

Time to bring back the avatar

 

[Hasemo]

8k yen? Not day 1 for me then.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Finally. Buying this twice if there isn't a cross-buy option

 

[RobotMafia]

Are Atlus games usually priced so high in Japan?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

If you spend 8k on it here in Japan, that's your own fault.

There will be plenty of places selling it for much less, as always.

Edit: also if I remember correctly, P4: Golden was also super pricey over here.

Everything in Japan is more expensive.
Darkstalkers R. is $15 on US PSN, in Japan it got a disc release for $40.

Amazon's hips are NUTS.

Mained.

I've been living in Japan for some time now, so yeah, I realize that the game prices here are over the top (everyone agrees about that), but I hope that it'll be the price for the PS3/Vita double pack - not paying that much for one version, even though most stores will probably sell it for ~7,5k.

 

[RobotMafia]

Uggh, the one downside to this game is how fucking stupid the art and animation on the women is. SUPER SIDEWAYS BOOBS. Her tits are more animated than anything else.

 

[wiggleb0t]

Yes!
Planning Vita purchase for this. Bring it!

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

 

[duckroll]

Cross-buy/cross-play isn't confirmed for the Japanese version, but looks like cross-save is. Also, the Vita version will indeed support infrastructure (online) multiplayer.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Day 1.
Hopefully the cross stuff is still in. Especially if there's a bundle deal for the PS3 and Vita versions.

(If I was Sony if support atlus in making it cross buy)

 

[Retro_]

Is there a history of 3rd party games offering that feature? (cross-buy)

because I can't think of any outside digital only releases to begin with. Most other games just allow you to share DLC I think

 

[GraveRobberX]

As I said from the very first reveal Day Fucking 1

Both PS3 & Vita

Gimme DAT Amazon!

Give me all the Double D's and Double Platinums!

I hope they at least have bundle deal, get ps3&vita version for discounted price

 

[Jonnyram]

If that is 8190 for *each* version, noone in their right mind is gonna buy both.
I hope they are including both in one pack.

 

[Retro_]

Yeah I could get down with that I guess. Both for 70-80 or somethin like Monster Hunter

 

[jj984jj]

Looks fantastic. I'm always up for more 2D Vanillaware games.

 

[duckroll]

I can't imagine it being 8190yen for the Vita version either. Makes no sense at all. The most logical possibility is that they're selling both versions in on package, and pushing it on PS3, with Vita being the "on the go" version. But this -is- Japan, so who knows... It should be clarified by tomorrow.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

This is what, 1.5 years overdue?

Imagine if some guy had picked playing this as his last wish.

 

[Moor-Angol]

In Japan, this is normal price.

Sometimes I think threads about Japanese releases should avoid listing the price so we don't get comments like these.

well, 8,190yen for a PS3 game is ok, but if it's the same price for Vita... well, it's very expensive

 

[duckroll]

It's not really overdue at all. It was announced in 2011 when Vanillaware was finishing up Grand Knights History. Taking about 2 years to make a substantial game is about par for Vanillaware. It's not like they can do anything if Ignition decided to lie about when the game was due. That's probably why Ignition is out of business, and Vanillaware is not.

 

[Black Door]

> Kikuko Inoue

Welp, looks like the dojin quotient for this game is about to jump by 2500%

 

[ULTROS!]

Looking forward to what Shitgnition Entertainment Atlus is pushing.

I've obviously just been confused/ignorant of the whole story on this for some time.

Regardless, I'm glad we have a real date. Can't believe we're getting the Capcom D&D brawlers this year too.

 

[Karsticles]

Hahaha, that gif is getting a lot of use today.

 

[dragonflys545]

Hnnnng gimme this right now!

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Boobs going cray in these gifs.

Will buy the game just for that.

 

[rockman zx]

Elf (voiced by Asami Imai)
Sorceress (voiced by Kikuko Inoue)

I-No and Tsubaki?, SOLD!.

 

[farnham]

Lol@price

Gonna get it regardless

 

[JWong]

Japan? Why make me suffer?

 

[PaulExcellent]

Well, I'm hyped.
Amazon for life.

 

[chrono01]

 

[Sheik]

I hope this game doesn't take too long to come to North America. Creepy character graphics aside, this game looks awesome.

 

[astronautcowboy]

This will be the perfect お疲れ様 present to myself for 5 years of work in Japan. My contract ends two or three days later.

And Final Fantasy X HD is coming next, baby. #BELIEVE

 

[AgentOtaku]

Wonderous

Hopefully Cross-buy, if not, PSVita all the way

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

8,190 yen? Good luck selling anything

Yeah, super pricey actually.

 

[BY2K]

That has got to be painful as hell. Poor Sorceress.

Grand Knights History. ;_;

 

[GeekyDad]

Pushing the envelope of jiggle physics.

Poor XSEED.

 

[Endo Punk]

Loooooove the artstyle. Getting a serious heavy metal vibe with some character models.. Wish it would come to the West this year.

 

[Karsticles]

Pushing the envelope of jiggle physics.

No physics here. That jiggle is lovingly hand-crafted.

 

[Mpl90]

I've seen one of the scans, and effectively it lists just 8,190 Yen as price. No difference. That's seriously too much for a Vita title. Still, I'm going to search for One Piece KM2 Famitsu scans, since that's a case of a multi release with different prices.
