Japanese Niche Games Deals Thread: Atlus, NISA, Aksys, XSeed and More!

[kndy]

The following thread are for niche-based Japanese video games by smaller companies such as Atlus, NIS America, AKSYS, XSEED, D3 Publisher, KOEI/TECMO, SNK Playmore, Ignition, Natsume or any sweet deals for those who are passionate and hardcore about Japanese video games even from the bigger companies like SquareEnix, Sega, Bandai Namco, etc.

But to avoid any messiness of links everywhere, we'll focus on games within the last 2-3 years as opposed to the last five-ten. [although, if you do see older titles on sale, please post them regardless].

The theme of these deals are Japanese video games distributed in the US by the smaller niche companies. The thread is literally for those who love Japanese games. There will be a few Korean games that you may see on this list, such as the "DJ Max" games.

If you see a deal, please post!

NOTE: Please check the most recent page for the latest deals.

And I want to thank many of you in advance who submit their deals and their support!!!

i hope that is a sign they will bring yakuza [SIZE=111%]Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! to the states too[/SIZE]

 

[KingCountXero]

I knew this would come. They said it wasn't, but I KNEW. FIRST DAY BUY. Don't wait on this one if you want Zero and the inevitable Y6, folks. Now I can start Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls, but I need to find a copy of Y4 first.

YAKUZA 5 IS COMING TO NORTH AMERICA SUMMER 2015

This was the best news for me today lol

 

[whoknows]

So hyped!

I've gotten all five Yakuza games on release date. Will do the same for 5.

 

[62t]

Everyone please buy Yakuza 5.  The game is so amazing.  Driving a Taxi is so much fun.

 

[KingCountXero]

Don't forget Yakuza 1 & 2 HD. Great games.

Yeah, this would easily be the most profitable one. Odd they didn't announce this one. The work is all there. They'd literally just need to insert the translation and get the original voice track for Y1. I heard it kinda flopped over in Japan, though.

you are dealing with sega tho

i wonder if they will release some kind of limited edition ,or collectors edition for it

 

[KingCountXero]

Hopefully, they don't price themselves out with Y5. Should be $40-50 max on release for the long delay/last-gen status. Assuming we're getting it physically... Still day 1 for me.

 

[chickenbutt]

I was hoping for God Eater 2 after that Yakuza 5 announcement ;-;

 

[nitrosmob]

Yakuza 5 baby...and Suikoden 2 psn...good stuff! Don't be cheap on Yakuza 5...get it at release. We saw what happened last time and we want more of these games! Playing Akiba Strip this week made me realize how much I liked the Yakuza series more. They don't compare at all.

 

[vic_x51]

Ya yakuza 5 ! Now how about 1&2 HD ?!

 

[Olengie]

This is amazing news! Now I won't have to import it to play it early

Saves us the trouble of importing. ;D

FFVII on PS4, a port of PC version.  What a huge let down.

 

[Pheria]

I could be missing something, but I don't think they confirmed a simultaneous release of Persona 5 for Japan and NA - just confirmed that US will be getting the PS4 version whenever we get our release.

I would love to be wrong though.

Only if I could replay the Twitch Stream to watch it again. But nonetheless, we still get Persona 5 in 2015.

it is confirmed it is digital only.

FFVII on PS4, a port of PC version. What a huge let down.

It's almost like Square doesn't care, shocker. Ya know what, heck with them. If they're not going to do it properly, I still have my PS1 copy. It was the first game I played on the PS1, it was the last game I played on the PS1, I don't need Square's excuses.

 

[whoknows]

I'd rather have a new FF game over a remake.

 

[Milliardo]

I'd rather have a new FF game over a remake.

PS4 is already getting XV...XIV is also a recent FF game, but I would rather have FFVII's remake that was shown on the PS3.

 

[whoknows]

I'd rather they start working on XV-2

 

[Vigilante]

it is confirmed it is digital only.

What the crap?! I want Yakuza 5, but I won't pay more than $35 for a digital copy of a game. What a disappointment.

 

[Pheria]

Does Yakuza 5 have anything like Yakuza Zero's cat fight betting? I only possess a small amount of shame.

 

[whoknows]

I want to play it badly enough to where I'll pay whatever.

I hope Sega isn't dumb enough to release it at $60 though.

No, and shame.

 

[haku67]

Maybe we will get lucky and they will sell it for 30 like they did for Anarchy Reigns. I doubt it through 
But still Yakuza 5! 
Lots of good stuff coming to the vita as well  including  day of the tentacle and grim fandango
 

 

[therealdeal19]

Wtf, Yakuza 5 is not getting a physical release?

 

[Milliardo]

I'd rather they start working on XV-2

But you don't know if XV-1 will be trash. The lack of playable females or alternate entities (ie. Teddie, Ronso, etc.) is disappointing, however I'm praying that they'll change that soon.

 

[skoomadiver]

I can't wait for yakuza 5. Maybe they'll change their minds and release a collector's edition. I don't like to buy psn games for more than $20 but I'll buy this just for a chance of playing Yakuza Ishin.

 

[62t]

I am still getting it at $60. It would still be less than what I payed to import.

 

[JCAll]

They probably already have. That game has sucked up so much money that if they don't turn a franchise out of it it'll never make a profit. I hope that doesn't keep the games from turning out good though.

 

[Kirin Lemon]

And just a month after I finally got around to buying the Japanese version, too.  Oh well, at least I only paid $15 for that one, and I'll still have something to put on my shelf.  Better late than never, Sega!

Haha me too. Should have brought Ishin instad

 

[YBX87]

apparently sony heavily funded to make the localization happen.

 

[whoknows]

Good guy Sony

 

[YBX87]

Good guy Sony

so is sega, they really care about the gamers, in their press announcement blog they said the following:

We’ve received so many requests from our fans to bring Yakuza 5 to the U.S. and Europe. Yakuza 5 also made the top of the list of Sony’s #BuidingTheList campaign led by Gio Corsi at Sony Computer Entertainment and we were moved by all the support given to Yakuza 5 by the PlayStation community.

Praise the sun!!

Code of Princess for 3DS is $23 at Amazon with Prime shipping.

Not a fantastic price, but it has been on my watch list there for years and this is the cheapest I've seen it.

Seems like a weird battle system.

 

[Covnam]

Suikoden 1 and 2 is coming to Vita next week.

Since Suikoden 1 is already a classic psone game on psn, I hope that it's just an update to natively work on the vita and not a new release that requires a new purchase.

Suikoden 2 will finally be mine though =)

I'm kind of amazed that $23 really is a good deal for the physical version when it goes on sale digitally for $15 so often.

Seems like a weird battle system.

It's a beat-em-up with the ability to customize your character's stats with equipment like in a RPG. It looks a lot weirder than it actually is.

Since Suikoden 1 is already a classic psone game on psn, I hope that it's just an update to natively work on the vita and not a new release that requires a new purchase.

Suikoden 2 will finally be mine though =)

If it's anything like Legend of Dragoon, then it should only involve somebody at Sony flipping the switch to allow it to be downloaded to Vita.

 

[ShadowAssassin]

Suikoden II is one of the greatest games ever made. I hope people who never had the chance will finally play it.

I think I will finally play it. Always heard great things about it.

Is it coming to ps3 too or just vita?
