MAKE WAY NEW STARS posted:Memory cards are expensive as gently caress. 16gb is like £35. If you're bargain hunting look for the ones that come bundled with some game downloads, there's usually a couple of decent ones included to soften the blow. Fair warning, there's basically no point in getting a 32Gb card over importing a 64Gb card from Japan. They're roughly the same price over here in the UK. As for PS+, the games have been nowhere near as good recently as it used to be, but if you're planning on getting a PS3 or PS4 as well I would recommend getting Plus solely for the cloud save feature. Do note that the PS+ requirement to play online only applies to the PS4, the Vita's online is free. Anora posted:looking at that shop, how is Disgaea 4? I liked the first one, but I heard they get worse as time goes on. A return to form story-wise, plus the Vita version adds a tonne of quality of life improvements from the later games. If you liked the first Disgaea way back when, you'll probably enjoy Disgaea 4.

Junpei Hyde posted:I was thinking maybe Valkyrie Drive? I don't know any of the characters from that though. I would be very surprised if it was Valkyrie Drive, since that decision would have been made way before the game's release. I'd expect him to pick from a known property, and preferably one in which he won't have to pay licensing costs. Besides, Daidouji would fit in very well in Uppers, far better than any of the Valkyrie Drive characters (or, indeed, anyone else from Senran Kagura).

ImpAtom posted:They did a Half-Minute Hero 1 pseudo-remake which is probably what you're thinking of. Nah, I distinctly recall some talk of more Half Minute Hero around the time of the Steam launch of HMH2 depending on that doing well (spoilers: it didn't), with the implication of Half Minute Hero 3 being a thing that exists. Now that I've bothered to Google for it, all I've found is stuff on the Hero 3 mode from the original. So, guess I'm wrong.  ACES CURE PLANES posted:So, did we just hit peak vita thread?

Waltzing Along posted:When Sony has put out a hosed up Vita patch in the past, how long has it taken them to unfuck it? I actually can't recall any previous Vita updates duff enough to get a Kotaku article after its release. With that said, I would expect a bug-fix patch soonish (as in, before the end of February). As for the battery drain, apparently the primary reason is that the Vita no longer disconnects from Wifi once connected, so the workaround for now would be to switch it off when you're not using it.

HGH posted:It's weird, I never thought of Japanese games operating so much off of preorder sales like that. Kinda reminds me of SpaceBaseDF9 minus the scam part. The sales of otaku stuff tends to be mostly pre-orders. Kinda like AAA games.  With that said, I can't think any other case of a game getting delayed due to low pre-orders. I suspect that they're kicking it into the next financial year to not blot a decent fiscal report. Don't be too surprised if the new release date winds up being early May.

RanKizama posted:I disagree. I find the goofy light shines and object censors give it a more humorous appeal than anything. It''s weird, but I've never really found the Senran Kagura games to be really sexy. I like that it kind of skirts the edge but maintains a more comical approach. When the Estival Versus OVA aired last year, I was actually disappointed in the fact that it took that extra step and just had blatant nudity in it. It kind of ruined that playful charm the series has. I suspect that's due to the differences in restrictions over there. Unless it has explicit penetration, you can get a TV channel to show your anime. Console games are far more restrictive. For example, I can't recall anything that showed a woman's nipple get a CERO rating. The bodge job on the Japanese version of The Witcher 3 to cover up the ladies in some of the sex scenes is hilarious.

Mr. Fortitude posted:To be more accurate, Trails in the Sky 3rd has a character who played a supporting role in the second game as the main character and it sets up plot threads for Zero and Ao as well as expand on the backstories of the cast of Trails in the Sky, such as some of Joshua and Estelle's early interactions and growing up together, Olivier's interactions with Osborne which becomes important for Cold Steel and Renne's backstory which becomes important in Zero. I would expect Cold Steel 3 to be a similar side story.

In importing news, it appears that Amazon.co.jp now ships games overseas. Requires a separate account and applies only to stuff that are sold by Amazon themselves, but they do accept foreign cards. Absolutely mega news for importers, since they're quick to discount stuff.

Motto posted:XSEED is full of Falcom fans, and one of them expressed a desire to localize Tokyo specifically, so it'll probably happen at some point. Plus the Eurogamer interview with the Falcom head had him basically say "yes" to Tokyo getting localized, so it's a sure bet. I'm expecting it to be in the now traditional pre-E3 announcement blitz that Xseed does.

Hell, the anime is legally available (for streaming) in the US and UK (since Funimation got that license) and that's far worse for all the definitions of "worse" you wish to apply. Still not a peep from the media.

RanKizama posted:People here like Shantae, right? Well here ya go. I suspect the Shantae deal is of the "printing discs" variety, since Wayforward kickstarted it years ago. Interesting that it's the Xbone version that's getting passed over. (Speculation: Xseed hasn't signed up with Microsoft to do Xbone publishing. Which is a bit weird, since they published a couple of games on the 360). As for the other two: Exile's End is Marvelous, and is already out on PC in English (it sold horribly), and Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity seems to be the only localization announced here. It's interesting the Exile's End managed to get prioritized ahead of Valkyrie Drive or Tokyo Xandau (although from Xseed's perspective, it's probably substantially less work).

There's enough announced next year that the Japanese to English translation process wouldn't finish until then if everything just stopped. Yeah, I can't see the games stopping much before 2018, largely because that's when I expect most of the Japanese Vita support to conclude, and switch platforms to the, uh, Switch. Then, there would be some time for localisation work, which means I wouldn't be too surprised if we still get Vita games semi-regularly in 2019 as well.

Policenaut posted:The PS4 version still has plenty of copies so I'm guessing NISA just isn't producing as many of the Vita version's. They haven't completely cut off pre-orders yet so I guess there's still some left in that 0-5% left bracket. Turned out that NISA assumed that basically nobody wanted the Vita LE, so when they were proven wrong they converted a bunch of PS4 LEs to Vita LEs (read: they're now making more cardboard Vita box holders than planned), and now both are back up past the 50% stock mark.
