Vita version is the base game, PS4 is a port.
Now if only we had a female MC (is any announced yet?). >___>
I might leave it for now, thanks guys. I have toooo much to play as it is. Good review by the way.
Finished a review for Dynasty Warriors Next, if anyone hadn't already played it by now

Ah.. I should get this sometime. I recently got 8XL for the Vita but I already have 8XL on PC and figured that that would be the better game. I have Next on PS Plus (though I don't have membership anymore) and what I played of it was pretty average. It deserves a revisit though.

If only we got Eiyuu Senki for the Vita... That game was the shit, the perfect PS3 swan song.

I'm still a bit disappointed we never got Eiyuu Senki on Vita. Would've been an easy job for them. I half hope that sentence from the quote is a hint it might be coming.
Anyway:

Sounds like Disgaea 5 Complete's success in the west is driving the nail in the coffin for NIS' Vita support according to Ani. Shame, but at least this year is going out on a high.
I don't think Fruitbat Factory can release the Vita port now that JAST USA has the rights for a PC release.
Also, while what Ani said is true, what games are they localizing? There are none, at least as far as announced titles go, specially considering that most of their work has been multiplatform releases so far and they're not dropping the PS4 anytime soon. Ani's doom and gloom is standard procedure, nothing new.
don't think about what they can localize. think about what they can port... and fast!
and not coven. never coven.
I guess NISA's becoming less of a localization house and more of a porting one. Still, like I said, if NISA's localizing a title that has both PS4 and Vita versions, I don't see the company skipping the Vita one just yet. Now, regarding Coven... NISA skipping NIS titles is also standard procedure.

I'm assuming Ani means they'll be shifting all their Japanese development over to Switch (and PS4) and then be localizing anything that gets made for those consoles.
nisa is localizing a crapload of games this year. hell the vita isn't even done for 2017.
that, and consider what isn't out yet that might look good as a switch title given what's done well on switch so far.
Did that work when NISA ditched the Vita a few years ago and still all NIS released was for the Vita? I've read time and time again how NIS completely disregards NISA's opinions when it comes to platform decisions.

Hero Must Die!
Lol. But I've been saying for ages that Minecraft clone in Unreal 4 just makes too much sense to be on Switch, then they announced it for PS4...
Would be surprisingly nice to see them backtrack on that one and get it on Switch. I can't remember what other upcoming games they have tbh.
NIS and Vita have just been lol. Ignored it during the first two years when they could've released any of their games and have them be sleeper hits (see: Demon Gaze; Monster Monpiece: Valhalla Knights 3 etc.) then go heavy on it over the last two years while it's been winding down.
At least NISA have been consistently great at bringing us stuff. I'm assuming N1 are going to push them more to doing PC/Switch going forward though.
Omg, yay! I remember you saying this a while ago and then they announced Yomawari and I thought "that's definitely the last one". Glad I'm wrong on that one.
Do you think they'll release anything in 2018 or will they definitely be done at the end of this year?
physical is getting harder. i don't know about anything physical, but there should be digital stuff at the very least.
nis has been a major helper. steam is a big push from nisa, and the ps4 version of cladun returns didn't exist in japan.
nisa has seven physical vita games this year and 11 overall. that's pretty good support for a dead platform.
But there was a period where NIS wouldn't listen to anything NISA had to say regarding platform decisions, despite NISA making more money than NIS, that's what I was talking about. I think NIS should be more flexible moving forward, but you can still see that they're making most decisions thinking about the local market.
oh definitely. the west wanted ps4 more than vita and that was a major point of frustration. especially as vita exclusives were happening in 2017 still (cladun). things have mostly shifted to ps4/vita now, and probably it will be ps4/switch starting in 2019.
Do you think NISA will continue to localize NIS' PS4/Vita efforts despite Disgaea 5 numbers? Exile Election and Iwaihime: Matsuri are two multiplatform releases I'd love to see from NISA, if the company isn't doing Vita exclusives from NIS anymore.
it's tough. ps4 isn't super great on visual novels in the west because that's not what people play on consoles. and vita is dead so your market is limited to people who are hanging on for new releases. so your return on investment might not be very high, prompting things like ports to other platforms, which makes the whole endeavor riskier even if the reward might be greater.

Ha. I'll moan about it at the time, but I'd much rather have this than nothing I guess. They were doing PSP digital releases well into 2013 with BRS and Generation of Chaos, so makes sense.
I hope with the advent of limited physical releases with NISA have been at the forefront of, there might be a little hope for something.
I suppose that's the downside of having such a niche console in the west that has moderate success in Japan, you get games like Coven/Exile Election/Hero Must Die and never know whether they're coming west or not.
I've gotten by importing games like Gundam Breaker and World Trigger and playing with limited Japanese, but VN's is impossble.
I'm playing it now and it's pretty fantastic in a jank B-tier post-Danganrompa way. It would not be an easy localization, has a massive amount of text, and is probably too VN-y, so I wouldn't be surprised if the talent and time it would require are on other projects. I wonder if the same logic will apply to Iwaihime.
Note that I have never worked for NISA and this is pure speculation.
What a very nice next-to-last (probably) year for JP Vita narrative-based titles, though. I'm looking quite forward to the Shiin demo next week. A shame so many of these will remain forever in Japanese.
With that said, otome games are still doing surprisingly well, so I do expect more than a few to hit Vita in English this year and even through 2018. If only that extended to other genres of VN...I would have killed to challenge myself in attempting a Net High localization, ha ha.
There is the whole Fata Morgana thing, though... :3
I 👏🏻 need 👏🏻 Fata 👏🏻 Morgana👏🏻

Well among "indie developers who suddenly exploded in Vita support", Luc Bernard and Arcade Distillery are massively up there lol.
Considering all they've previously released on Vita is Desert Ashes so far, they've got this; Witch Trials and Plague Road coming. And I think there's a 4th game they haven't announced yet too.
I hope this doesn't all fall by the wayside like his Wii support.

Do you guys think Atlus USA will localize Dungeon Travelers 2-2? I was hopeful, but I just remembered that they did skip the original game that was ported to the Vita after Dungeon Travelers 2.
I hope so. We're getting both Utawarerumono games, so the relationship with Aquaplus is still there. I think if DT 2-2 was multiplatform with PS4 it'd have a better shot, but we could still get it hopefully.

Even if they're not the same genre, I expect nothing unless the first Utawarerumono is considered a success on Vita. It's not like overabundance of fanservice would stop them either, since they could just make changes again. Then again, from what I've seen of the game's cgs so far, it doesn't look like anything goes farther than what made it through unedited in the first game.
Just better hope that they don't base it's chances on how Caligula does, being another Vita only title.
Hopefully its sold well enough in Japan to warrant a localization.
It's the game I'm most eager for on the Vita.
I'll take a digital copy at this stage but would prefer a physical.
Also I don't see why they couldn't do it as a PS4/Vita/Switch release even if they need to hold it back some to develop the other two releases.
To add to this, ever since the Switch has been announced, vita news and game announcements has completely dropped off a cliff which makes me sad, I hope there's some news at or around E3, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.
Maybe. It'd be more likely if Atlus didn't have loads of 3DS games they haven't brought over. That coupled with helping localize Sega games lessens the odds, but I do hope they bring it over.

Rofl, I posted this then forgot to link the game he revealed:

Manufactured Beauty coming to Vita. I *think* it's another Action-RPG but I'm not certain on that one.
I also forgot they've got Death Tales coming too.

Deciding on where they went wrong by making Nep Connect a f2p game on Vita.

I'm super excited for Mary Skelter. But I do hope they announce some new titles soon. I also need more Nep-Nep on my Vita.
Kresnik258

I suspect Nepu Connect, whenever it releases, will be their final Neptunia title on Vita. They really ought to make it a paid title because they're not going to make any money from it being F2P at this point.
Anyway, they just published Gun Gun Pixies in Japan and Cyberdimension not too long ago. They've got Felistella working on Castle Panzers and are working on that VR version of Nep VII.
A while ago they confirmed they were still working on Vita when they went PS4-heavy at Dengeki fest, rumor I read on Twitter at the time was that it was as second Mary Skelter game but I've no idea if there's any truth in that.
As for Idea Factory, they're busy porting all their biggest otome games to PS4.
I'm looking forward to the preorder DLC. Maybe BelleStarrmon/BeelStarrmon will be in this one. GAWD I hope.
if they wanted to remove all the f2p stuff, rejig the game for a full game and slap a $40 price tag on it i wouldn't say no to that

Apparently, footage of the Vita version of Son of Scoregasm.
Also I made a thread on The Vita Lounge Forums about all of Arcade Distillery's upcoming games, for anyone interested. Any guesses how many of them will actually make it out? (I'm thinking Death Tales; Plague Road and possibly one of the others, but I'm hoping I'm wrong):

I finished an article looking at fan campaigns on Vita over the years. It's been one of my favourite things to write about really, varied topic where a lot of things have happened over the years:

I wonder if it'll be more Otomate or a new game.

Diabolik Lovers coming to Switch, you heard it here first.
They can have that all they want.
Honestly, I would love something like Fukai ni Nemuru Oujo no Abaddon but more sfw.
