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!

Release dates are being filled in for niche games prioritized by release date in the first half of the year.  I'll start populating 2nd half (including place holder dates) for the rest of the games later in the day... and then links to each of the games later in the week.

A few days after they originally went up but before the discount applied to them.

Hmm...so it seems that whenever a new preorder listing goes up and the Prime discount doesn't apply, we should preorder it anyway because it might get a double-discount later on.

That explains the dbl discount I got my my VC preorder. I put in an order right when it when up and was listed as a book still. Only one that has happened to me so far.

This is why I have been mentioning it. I was going to continue to have the majority of my preorders at BB, but if Amazon is handing out 40% I will have to reconsider. Credit goes to Wario64 for experimenting the idea.

 
That's how you start a thread...

Cool, spoiler tags really were fixed.

Custom spoiler tags work too. I tested those before the first post was moved into the wiki section. I'll probably go through it before Monday sometime and add all known future games unless someone beats me to it. In the process I'll probably change the games from a single line to double as to help with mobile users.

To Do:

- Add PC section in pre-orders

- Populate pre-orders section with games/links & a separate basic section for future releases similar to what you did previously

- Change Play-Asia section to just 'Import' and throw in some common imports in there with P-A & Ami links.

- Put two sub-sections in Kickstarter section with 'Current' and 'Past' kickstarters. Maybe a 'Delivered' and 'Dev fucked up' section for no particular reason.

I'll let someone else mess with merchandise. Probably should link the Japanese Figure thread in another deals sub-forum though.

Also, fuck the weather. It wasn't supposed to snow today. I was planning on getting driveway salt tomorrow. Guess that'll be pushed to Saturday before Sunday. So I may get to this stuff tomorrow.

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

It was, but the instant 3.0 happened we started complaining saying we wanted 4.0. 2.0 was fine and had a fairly nice first post similar to what we have here. Some mods didn't like that we weren't posting "deals", so they closed 2.0 and posted 3.0 with the word Discussion in the title, and this handy first post:

Meanwhile, supposedly SoA moved in with Atlus...

...and Sonic Runners - a freemium app is considered a failure.

I LOVE Sonic games but I have to admit looks like Sega will be singing that song from Brad Buxer's old band "Hard Times."

Good times...those were. And great song from Sonic 3.

I've put in several of your suggestions... did not throw in common links to import websites just yet. Also, with KS, I added a status for them, but it needs some refactoring before it looks right. For now, I have planned delivery date, current status, name of the game... ideally want to add the platforms supported and maybe the initial project creation date on KS but I dont really think it adds any value.

Gotta make dinner for the family, I'll be back on later in the evening when the kids go down to make some more updates.

Looks like Kuru Kuru Kururin is releasing on the Wii U eShop tomorrow, February 11th. Never released in NA, but it did release in EU. I imported one of its sequels (Which were JP only), Kururin Paradise about a decade ago and from what I remember it was a pretty interesting puzzle game.
