Takashi Sensui, the former general manager of Microsoft’s Xbox division in Japan, will take on the position of executive vice president and COO of Senran Kagura publisher Marvelous, according to a Nikkei report.

The newspaper says that Marvelous has solidified plans to place Sensui within the company and an official announcement will be made on June 21 during a general meeting of stockholders.

Sensui retired from his position at Microsoft in July 2015.

Being completely ignorant of the way Japanese business is run, this is a good news?

He was not able to help salvage the Xbox in Japan, so he's going to help co-pilot Marvelous into another iceberg.

He was the guy who actually got a bunch of exclusives back in the X360 days, IIRC, so he's a pretty good hire really. No one could salvage the Bone in Japan when the console market there is so dead even the Wii U has sold more than the PS4.

The Wii U is better though, so that was the logical conclusion.

EDIT: Ok, according to gamefaqs, here is how you activate them

nevermind, I didn't realize that they were the purple missions. Overall fun game and I'm glad I got it on sale.

It's a fun game but has a wonky difficulty curve and is super-short.

That's kinda my point. :v:
Those other ones are also eww.

But in any case, there are plenty of ways to personalize your Vita (not just with silly Disney characters). There's no reason to lament region-specific or limited-edition special designs.

I forget, are Vita's region free? I'm planning on importing Ys VIII and wondering if I'll be able to play it. Something like you need to do a factory reset with a dedicated memory card for the Japanese side?

Didn't you import Exist Archive? Yes, Vita's very much region-free, other than DLC shenanigans.

You only need to do the dual memory card/wipe system when switching accounts, which you need if you are going digital. Don't go digital on the Vita, especially for out of region games.

I played that one on PS4! And perfect, this will be the second physical vita game I ever own then, Person 4 has been in my card slot for nearly 4 years now.

If I was you wouldn't have turned out the way you did, young man.

But, seriously, don't buy anything digital for the Vita that isn't on your main account. The process to switch accounts is so annoying that I've known people to buy a second Vita just to stop bothering with it.

I simply got a new Memory Card alongside Valkyrie Drive :shrug:

That's actually half the reason I bought a PSTV, yeah. It's a lot easier to take it out of my drawer and plug it into my monitor when I want to play a demo or a game from Japan.

Only problem is I still ended up buying physical copies instead of digital since the japanese store almost never has sales on games that I can play with my poor knowledge of the language and it was cheaper to grab stuff when Amazon allowed easy importing.

Well I'm getting Uppers but I'm still thinking if I should get it physical or digital. Digital is 500 yean cheaper and I don't need to pay for shipping, plus I will have available Valkyrie Drive if I get bored of it. But on the other hand, my memory card is 8 gigs and I've used half of it already just with Valkyrie Drive so.

Why are you willing to purchase a game you actively dislike and have spoken poorly of since Day 1 for the sake of a single DLC character? Does that not seem ridiculous to you?

Ha. No, it really doesn't. Bibarel can be pretty good, though. Same deal with Magikarp; without having evolved, it is objectively lame.

And that's entirely beside the point, anyway, you pedantic devil's advocates. :v: I just picked the first two dopey Pokémon that came to mind.
