Welcome to the Japanese niche games deals and discussion thread!  Feel free to talk about local and import Japanese games here.  Our goal is to maintain a thread dedicated to active deals on niche games including RPGs, Visual Novels (VN), Shoot'em ups (Shmups), Musou, etc.  Also maintained are pre-orders for standard, limited and collector's edition games with key release dates provided.

I've wikified the thread to make it more friendly and open to others that can actively update with important information. You can find the wiki post directly below this one.

NOTE:  Please, leave the censorship discussion away from this thread.  It's common for japanese games to have questionable content outside of the country.  We want to keep discussions to the game itself and not about cultural/societal tolerance.

A message from Thorbahn:

Cant remember where i saw the discussion, but does anyone recommend some replacement nubs for the dualshock 4. Mine are starting to wear down.
I bought a pack of grip its (the ones with the frog hands on them) when mine tore , and they do the job just fine. $5 for a pack of 4 on Amazon.

Get the GelTabz from gamestop, They're like $5 and they're very good.

How is that grip? Comfort wise I mean? I'm not especially interested in the l2/r2 aspect.
I love it! I have slightly big hands (I like Trump often get complemented about the size of my hands lel) and it feels great, I never get that cramped feeling you get when using the VITA naked due to lack of grip.

I had to read that vita naked comment a few times before I figured out what you were trying to say :p
 
I really hope they don't tone down the NIER sequel to cater to people who wouldn't even buy or play the game in the first place.
I usually try not to add fuel to the flames, but there was something about taking out a butt pose in Overwatch recently. Also, going on what you said, I wonder how many people actually bought SFV, due to Capcom removing the buttslap and stuff. I mean the game has poor sales regardless going by it's bad launch, but did the removal of the stuff appease anyone to buy the game?

Yep, there was 1 person who wrote something about being offended at the pose because it had "nothing to do with the characters background story it only sexualizes her" so OFCOURSE the proper reaction is to remove it, to not get any bad PR... Really bold move by Blizzard to set that precedence of 1 complain = removal of content.

Fire Emblem Fates' success means that censorship will keep coming.

You're definitely right. i guess it's akin to Michael Bay and Transformer movies. But I'm wondering if it would have sold just as well if they hadn't censored it? And the reverse could go for something like DoA X3, I remembered Supplice posting an article saying it was sold out of a bunch of places in Japan. Would it have sold less if it had been censored?

Are these convex/concave shaped? Do they go over the existing rubber or should I remove that completely?
Maybe convex slightly? They feel just about the same as the normal rubber grips but more tactile & grippy.

They simply slide on top, no need to remove the other ones.

Kobayashi also added “if only people started playing all kinds of different games, then there might be a way to survive” which was followed by a comment from Dengeki staff saying “then we can have the third V__, or also the sixth S____.” This is when Kobayashi mentioned “Honestly speaking, I have written plans for it on my computer. Hurry and let me show it!”

Yeah, that's what happens unfortunately. One game decides to censor a little bit and sells successfully, suddenly others are following the trend.

Things will just get worse and worse if there isn't a counter-voice and they continue to sell well.

Also if you browse on TOM for awhile, a message will pop up giving you a coupon for $5 for adding something to your cart.
 
3.0 was a dark time. We don't like to talk about it.
I from now on I'll refer to it as the "Thread that must not be named."

On a better note, I also got the Nights of Azure: LE in perfect condition yesterday. Went to fire it up, and then was called into work. I really enjoyed Ar Nosurge, and look forward to playing this. I started Omega Quintet and it's not going to be something I will play much for long periods of time.
