SAO, Durarara, Mahouka, Valkyria Chronicles, Accel World... This is like the ultimate anime fan service game (no not the kind you are thinking).
NOW, Sega, give us PSO2. Thank you
I agree, honestly impressed with Sega on this one
. It is really cool of them to bring over a great game from Japan to the West for Vita owners . Guess the combined success of the Miku games and SAO:Hallow Fragment pushed Sega to think releasing this in the West was a smart idea .Now how about that Digimon and Phantasy Star Nova...? Or Shining Resonance?
Do you fight against Kugumiya Rie?
Not sure will buy it, but the thought of punching Kirino and Kirito does sound appealing.

I'd actually enjoy some training with some of you guys. FightingGamesGAF is too intimidating for me and noone around me plays any of that stuff. Maybe DBFC could kick off some fun sessions.
Shame about the PS4 though, but since nobody (except LabZero) seems to support the driver that enables PS3 sticks for it, I'd probably play my fighting games on the PS3 anyway.

Indie GotY 2014. Everyone needs to play this.
Edit: Completely missed Transistor and Yakuza on that list. Amazing month!

Agreed. I still play this every now and then. Also, Transistor is fucking beautiful.
Best month. Awesome. A game I want to try for every platform.
What a great selection of games
. I will just post what I posted in the PS+ Thread as a response to this.If that post is right.....we are in for one hell of a month
Rogue Legacy was a game I always wanted to try out but never got around to buying, so getting that this months is great
I can understand Sony taking a brake from retail/'big' games for this month; they want to surprise everyone at E3 with something huge for the PS+ service, so I can see Killzone, Knack and LittleBigPlanet 3 being the free games for June or something to celebrate 1 and a half years of success with the PS4

Good luck fighting against Kirino, she's considered S tier. Kirito is a hassle fighting against as well because he can land 20+ hit combos by pressing simple commands.
I play Rentaro because he's the up in your face guy and is played with a very aggressive play style.

US and EU have been the same for a few months now, I don't think it'll change.

Is Kick and Fennick any good? wow at Yakuza 4 tho, many bought the game early January lol.
Cool that Apotheon is a freebie,but is there any word of it being on Vita?
Thief is meh btw.
Tier hasn't meant much to me since forever, lol. A higher tier the characters are, the more scrubs will use them. Beside, balancing patch could still be coming.
Whoop, whoop! Transistor + Rogue Legacy makes me very happy.
Actually playing Yakuza 4 on disc, atm. Enjoying it a lot so far. Hopefully this means enough people will enjoy it and buy 5 when it's released, so we get zero localised.
Wow, Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax. Cool
Had no idea there was a fighting game with those characters. I might have to get that.
But yes, not a fan of fighting games on Vita either. Unfortunately. Will have to look into it though.
Fun roster. Wish there were more playables though.

I was actually sure that it was on Vita too, but on further research it's PS4-only. Sad, because the game looks very interesting. Oh well, will be packed into my backlog together with Transistor for when I get a PS4.
Yakuza 4 on the other hand is great, always wanted to try the series, but never really found the right moment to do so. Now I have no excuse anymore.
And people should get RL, great game.

This is a fantastic list. Rogue Legacy and Transistor alone make this a great month.

I've been interested in trying Transistor & Rogue Legacy, so it's a great month for me.

I tried her out online a couple times, I can see why people say she's a S tier. I won 3 matches in a row with her.
I still slam Kirino players with Rentato though xD
If I ever feel the need to play anything beyond Xrd and DoA, I'll main Selvaria.
This is badass. Already have the awesome stuff, but eh.
Apotheon will launch straight to PS+? Never heard of it.
Especially as 4 has the least baggage, backstory-wise. Instead of playing Kazuma Kiryu, the protagonist of the earlier games, you play as four different characters, and Kiryu-san is only one of them. It's far more stand-alone than the other three main games. Perhaps less so than Dead Souls, though!

Damn that game is gonna be fun in local multiplayer.
Yep.
This, Axiom Verge and HM2 are the holy trilogy.
Or...was it with Shovel Knight and GeoWars3? Man...too many games
Well, that came out of nowhere. I am curious whether this means that Sega has warmed up to localizing more niche titles for the West (Shining Resonance, PS Nova). Don't want to get my hopes up though.
Also, the Plus Lineup for February looks awesome. Apotheon, Transistor, Yakuza 4 and Rogue Legacy for me :3

Want to see what a Playstation Plus subscription clearly isn't paying for if you're primarily interested in playing LittleBigPlanet 3 online with friends on PS4? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gy8G2j3jjY

Apotheon - looks super cool. hope it plays well.
Transistor - was a contender for goty for me. Didn't win, but it was really good.
Thief - meh? On ps3 anyway.
Yakuza 4 - great get, but I no longer play my ps3 so my 'great get' ps3 backlog is ridiculous
Rogue Legacy -- awesome. didn't get this yet.
Kick and Fennick - sure, I guess. We'll know soon if it's good or not.
Translation -- what the hell? I already bought all the games I wanted because I wanted them! Why would I want games I already own? And why would I want games on ps+ I don't already own? Obviously that means I don't want them! PS+ sucks.
I guess my 10% discount code buying spree was a big mistake so far.
First the news about the bad Citizens of Earth port and now I have played Rollers of the Realm a little bit.
The idea sounded neat but the execution is lacking. The presentation is boring with quite bad voice acting and overall not charming art style. The levels are paced all over the place. Sometimes, they take 10 seconds, sometimes you have to take a while.
Also, I am feeling some levels aren't balanced well. Sometimes your balls can't bounce off any other way than into the hole, really annoying.
Can't recommend this game.

Perfect port. For real. Get it on vita is worth the 10 bucks.
The only game for me is Kick and Fennick that looks promising, i already have Rogue legacy, i don't play on PS3 anymore and i don't have a PS4.
Great news, i know almost no one of its characters and i don't like fighting games anymore but i was curious about it.

I know no one in that game except Self Insert Boy from SAO. Wonder if Sony threw some money, it seems like Yakuza was their doing. Or maybe Sega's finally found that localizing games gets money.

Yakuza series don't really sell that much outside Japan though; the average sales of each Yakuza game averages at 10-20,000 units.

Rogue Legacy is my favorite game on Vita. Everyone should play it.
Transistor - I need to give it another shot. Spent more time in menus configuring weapons that didn't seem to matter.
Yakuza 4 - I played the first one. It was interesting but I am not firing up my PS3 for this one.
Thief - That PS4 demo ran like crap and it was terrible to play. I am sure the PS3 version is worse. Nope.
Kick and Fennick & Apotheon - look awesome. Can't wait to play.
In the US, yeah. I was referring to Europe but maybe it wasn't that clear.
They have never published an ASW game over here, previously it was Zen United/pqube but they stopped for some reason and now it's NISA for the time being. Some publisher seems to have picked up Xrd, but we don't know who.
ASW published BBCP PS3 (Vita rated but never released, why bother now) and it was a total mess. Unavailable in many countries and missing DLC. I hope they let some other publisher handle BBCPE.

Great that Yakuza 4 is a plus game. They should've done this ages ago.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Unfortunately Yakuza 4 wasn't available digitally until a couple months ago, so they couldn't.
What does SAO have to do with PS Nova?
I was pretty surprised when I logged onto my Vita to see Magical Beat in the store today.
ASW:
- Fantasy Hero Europe when?
- Damascus Gear west when?
I'm glad i'm not the only one, honestly i would prefer that to Fantasy Hero which demo didn't impress me at all.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Shows that there's an audience for MMO-like games on the Vita in the West? Hollow Fragment sold super well in the West.
That seems like a bit of a stretch. I'm sure the SAO license was the main reason it was successful.
Zen and PQube...*shudders*
It's amazing how totally ass backwards some things work in Europe with regards to game publishing. And after all the stupid delays and silence we get some additional kicks with stuff like missing DLC, paying more overall and we don't even get stuff like timed free DLC (Adachi/Marie) for the most part.
I know, it's just that Sega should've made a digital version and put it on plus a long time ago, before they declared the series done for.
At least Zen/pqube are better at it than ASW, believe it or not. Let's hope NISA will continue since they are great European publishers.
