Japanese Niche Games Deals & Discussion Thread 4.0

[shivan128]

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:

Our CAG Japanese Niche Games Thread also has a community on PS4, where you can interact and game with other members of the thread.

Our moderators are: Draekon, Las_Hole, and Waffleswanton

You can basically friend any of our members, or any moderator, and you will be able to request to join the community under "Communities friends are in" tab, and a mod will approve your request.

You can also leave your PSN ID in the thread, saying you want to join, and we can invite you directly as well.

As always, have fun and enjoy your stay!

Someone should put Miku in the OP.

It's important.

 

[kickrockz713]

My prayers were answered

 

[whoknows]

Lucky Star is good because Miku cosplay

 

[Kameleon]

Someone should put Miku in the OP.

It's important.

*looks at the OP*

She's already there.

 

[Gershomcz]

Here we go again!

 

[BlackRockWaifu]

This is going to be another one of those "BlackRockWaifu likes your post" thread.

I'll dedicate this Miku gif to DaveyDarko:

Alright, we better start cooling off, once the wrestling gifs come, this thread might get closed down...

Dammit, I really, really, really want to put a Daniel Bryan "Yes Yes Yes" gif too...

 

[whoknows]

CAG actually has a Miku post quota you have to meet every month in the TOS.

 

[Kameleon]

It's not being made in Japan, but Quantum Suicide will be voiced in Japanese, so you might want to include it in the list of Kickstarters.

Sweet, new thread.

New thread already? Seems like the last one was fairly recent. Or maybe I'm just not observant.

Star Ocean 5 Special Edition PS4.

Not really doing it for me.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Wow, there's actually a few useful posts in this thread. It's already been derailed I guess.

Star Ocean 5 Special Edition PS4.

Not really doing it for me.

That line that splits the PS4 into two unequal halves has made designers LAZY....

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

On first page, will never see me in here again, lol.

You mean BBY won't do an Anime Day sale like Gamestop? Get gud with the competition Hubert!

And that SO5 PS4 is worse than...well...most of the SE PS4s if not all of them.

 

[godofwar7]

My preorder of grand kingdom vita on amazon got the 40% discount. The ps4 version only received 20% off. I preordered them in the same order.

Yea, it's pretty ugly.

At least it's not a Miku PS4, though.

Lol, we have an anime sale. Buy a select product and get a mystery box.
