Sad to see the first Vita Thread get gassed.

The Vita Thread is dead. Long love the Vita Thread!

Also got SAO RE:Hollow Fragment per the recommendations of this thread. It's okay. Lots of visual novel text, the lazy shoehorning of characters from later seasons, and static controls are a little offputting. Combat is alright though I'm still getting used to the party commands and skills. Character sprites look pretty drat good.

EDIT: lol @ my new avatar and title. gently caress you guys.

Pretty sure he wasn't the prime reason for the last thread to poo poo itself, as much as you want to blame him.
I tried on two separate posts to make peace and get things back on track. Alas, efforts were in vain.

Why the gently caress does Hollow Fragment let you customize your character and rename them only to make you Kirito again during the cutscenes and poo poo?

It's not, actually, it's an original story that runs in parallel with the anime, with game-specific characters.

Also, the Psycho-Pass anime is super good, so I really hope this VN is also good.
I'll second this. The anime was pretty drat solid, though I felt that the ending was kinda meh. I assume the game is gonna be similar to the Steins;Gate VN?

Why not make a full on game for it though? The materials are there.

Very, it has happened before?
It reminds me when Capcom released a trailer for a new Darkstalkers game, then released Darkstalkers Resurrection for the PS3 which was just a re-release of the original game. It wasn't even an HD remix. When nobody bought their lovely cash grab, Capcom decided nobody liked Darkstalkers anymore and canned the whole thing.

It absolutely was an HD remix, and a good one at that. It is also the only way to get Night Warriors on a console outside of the Saturn.

Senran Kagura would seriously be less pathetic if it was porn. Like if you have a naked character pole-dancing and you're still trying to censor things that's just fuckin' sad.
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.

On the flip side of that coin, the Valkyrie Drive anime pulled out all the stops and it's nothing more than Queen's Blade level of smut. The game seems okay though.

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.
I heard the same thing. A friend of mine was in Japan recently and sent me an image of some late-night anime on TV, asking what it was. It was Valkyrie Drive.

Did the SK games actually have any kind of interesting story/characters or is it just DT being DT
They 3DS games tend more to the core story and have a more serious tone overall. The Vita games play better and, while the main stories aren't bad, the writing really shines in the characters and their personal individual chapters. It's a franchise that banks heavily on the characters and how they react to each other more than the core story that focuses around Good Shinovi vs. Bad Shinobu or fighting demons.

That said, apparently the main story in Estival Versus builds up to some serious poo poo involving all the characters potentially dying in their fights against the youma and how they need to work together to vanquish the greater evil or something. Not sure yet. English release in less than two weeks so I'll post up on it in the SK thread.

Heh heh. Yeah. Haven't there been more Vitas sold than Wii Us?


I think so. The Wii U is more dependent on 1st party titles then the 3DS due to its gimmick controller. If you like Nintendo games then you're fine. If you like to play games from other developers, then you bought a big paperweight.

Fatal Frame implemented the control pad nicely though.

that chart seems suspect, since i am fairly sure that at the very least more than 0 3DOs were sold
The top part from the site says that discontinued platforms are listed via manufacturer's shipments so I would assume there's not a lot of info on the old 3DO. Why "Windows" is even on there boggles me.

VGChartz uses a bunch of funny math to guess how many are sold. The Japanese sales are tracked a bit better by Famitsu and Media Create since retailers will report what they sold, but even then it's only good for trends. The US version (NPD) isn't public and people just leak numbers on to Neogaf/VGChartz forums. Since there's a lot more online shopping and digital purchasing done in the west, the numbers can be skewed. Persona 4 DAN was 10k, the same as Senran Kagura Deep Crimson and Despair Girls the last time I was curious about the numbers. It might actually be true though considering I've seen all those game's special launch versions on sale at deep discounts already.

Here's a teaser for a Compile Heart game. It's two boobs that when clicked make noise and reveal the words SE00N and PI000E0.

Seven Pirates is what I got. There's also Pi in the background.

Either way it's probably coming to the Vita

That's a lot of zeroes. Coupled with the Pi in the background, I'm gonna complete your solution and call it Seven Oppai Pirates. Yay tiddy games!
