No thread for this yet? I know we had the ESRB leaks but the big news here is that we get Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale too. The first game from My Summer Vacation creator Ayabe to ever get localized, pretty exciting!

All three of Level 5’s Guild 02 games are headed to the Nintendo eShop in North America and Europe, the publisher announced this morning. The three games in the collection are:

The Starship Damrey (pronounced “domray&#8221 by Kazuya Asano/Takemaru Abiko

Bugs vs. Tanks! by Keiji Inafune

Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale by Kaz Ayabe

Thanks God(zilla) that Friday Monsters coming to us too!

Dascu · Apr 17, 2013

Definitely want to check out The Starship Damrey. Looks very creepy and neat.

Kouriozan · Apr 17, 2013

YAY, year of the 3DS continue!

-Horizon- · Apr 17, 2013

Starship Damrey and Attack of the Friday Monsters seem pretty interesting.

yami4ct · Apr 17, 2013

Good to see. Still need to check out the 01 games. I guess this means this method of release worked for Level5 with 01. That's good to hear. It's really great they allow you just to buy the games you want here in the US rather than having to pay full retail for a cart.

jj984jj · Apr 17, 2013

I'm really glad to see Attack of the Monsters Friday is being localized too, I thought it was going to be the one left out this time.

Yeah I thought that game looked really neat. Hadn't seen anything about it before

cw_sasuke · Apr 17, 2013

Will get everything besides the Bug Inafune title.... - nice.

Viola of the Abyss · Apr 17, 2013

Today's Direct was amazing, I'm very interested in all three games.
Now to wait until Nintendo gets the account system for their digital stores ready...

Glass Rebel · Apr 18, 2013

I didn't expect the Monsters title to make it outside of Japan, pleasant surprise. I'll be getting Damrey for sure and maybe Friday Monsters as well. Bugs vs. Tanks looks too janky for my tastes.

Hours Left · Apr 18, 2013

Damrey and Monsters are must haves. I might get Bugs vs. Tanks too just to support the Guild concept. (I'm getting Liberation Maiden when the sale starts to show my support and to hopefully help get us SIN.)

Also, very happy to see they've included the bonus content from having the Guild 01 titles.

All the US released Guild01 titles are going on sale starting tomorrow. It's the perfect time to jump in.

Bugs vs Tanks seemed to get the best reception in Japan, oddly enough.

rjc571 · Apr 18, 2013

Starship Damrey reminds me of the massively underrated Echo Night Beyond.

ULTROS! · Apr 18, 2013

How did Spaceship Damrey fare?

Hours Left · Apr 18, 2013

English trailer for all three.

Bladenic · Apr 18, 2013

What kind of games are these?

Roto13 · Apr 18, 2013

Spaceship Damrey and Attack of the Friday Monsters look really interesting for completely opposite reasons.

Bugs vs. Tanks doesn't look interesting at all, though.

lunch · Apr 18, 2013

Awesome. All three look interesting, but I'm incredibly excited for Attack of the Friday Monsters.

@MUWANdo · Apr 18, 2013

Pretty well, generally speaking, but a lot of people seemed disappointed/confused by the fact that it's not a visual novel/point-and-click style game.

Miyahon · Apr 18, 2013

The Spaceship Damrey seems interesting as well as Attack of the Friday Monsters.

Inafune would never attach his name to crap! Never!

well, night of the sickle weasel is some pedigree. I really like the look of this though. it's an adventure / mystery of a different sort.

ohlawd · Apr 18, 2013

I still got Crimson Shroud sitting in the backburner.

I'll probably get all except Bugs vs Tanks.

Pretty much. I am disappointed that Inafune didn't seize the opportunity to make a mega man/onimusha type of game as that bug game doesn't look very original. At least this time Guild has a lot more interesting games.

thetrin · Apr 18, 2013

Starship Damrey is by two guys behind Kamaitachi no Yoru, a 1994 sound novel murder mystery by Chunsoft.

RelentlessRolento · Apr 18, 2013

total hype for this way more than any of the nintendo direct stuff announced...

Right. If anyone's curious, there's a great GameCenter CX episode about the game. The title translates as "The Night of the Sickle Weasel."

Busaiku · Apr 18, 2013

I was thinking of getting Liberation Maiden, but I'll probably just get these.

Niraj · Apr 18, 2013

I'm interested in Starship Damrey and Attack of the Friday Monsters. Hopefully they're priced reasonably.

Aquamarine · Apr 18, 2013

But no Fantasy Life? Come on, Level-5. :-(

@MUWANdo · Apr 18, 2013

ULTROS! said:

It's an extended version of one of those "escape the room"-type adventure games, basically.

Persona86 · Apr 18, 2013

These looks very interesting, any good?

Especially Attack Of The Friday Monsters, looks very relaxing, a good bedtime game.

And the Starship Damrey looks unique.

Need a 3DS.

Hours Left · Apr 18, 2013

It's most likely coming, they've registered the trademark for the US and Europe. The Black Box has dealt just with the Guild series, so I'm not surprised that they are focusing on those game right now.

Oh. Can you die here? Is it a horror game?

Mauricio_Magus · Apr 18, 2013

is there any japanese site with reviews/impressions?

nothing's going to stop me from buying Attack Of The Friday Monsters

Yeah definitely looks like one of those Japanese games that never get localized.
e.g
Boku no Natsuyasumi 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ti3187UXE

Happy.

Edit: Oh wow just realized Boku no Natsuyasumi 3 is from the same creators haha.

Infernal Monkey · Apr 18, 2013

Day one for Attack of the Friday Monsters! I know it's not quite the same thing (what with the giant monsters and all), but I've always wanted to try one of the My Summer Vacation games, and this is probably as close as we'll ever get to a localised version.

Might get Bugs vs. Tanks, too.

GasProblem · Apr 18, 2013

Starship Damrey looks nice and creepy.

Attack of the Friday Monsters! looks interesting as well, but what kind of game is it? As in, how does a Tokyo-life simulation game play like?

electroplankton · Apr 18, 2013

So happy for Monster Friday!
It was the game everybody thought it would have not arrived.

Lusankya · Apr 18, 2013

Ahaha, so Bugs vs Tanks has German voice acting with English sub titles? That'd be nice.

Boerseun · Apr 18, 2013

Those look brilliant. Certainly a much stronger lineup than Guild 01, in my opinion.

Zornica · Apr 18, 2013

nice to see so much love for friday monsters. I though I was the only one who really loved the concept (since it was accounced wayyyy back).

Without question a Day1 for me. The Spaceship game probably too.

Oersted · Apr 18, 2013

Interested but will wait for impressions.

Account system is already there.

OMG Aero · Apr 18, 2013

So what kind of game is Attack of the Friday Monsters? Looks interesting but the video tells me absolutely nothing about what you actually do.

Needs to grow into a true, cross system one.

And still needs to come to 3DS anyway.

Sora_N · Apr 18, 2013

Might get Attack of the Friday Monsters!

EDIT: What kind of game is it though?

Mailenstein · Apr 18, 2013

I really love Millennium Kitchen games.

You're not alone I love classic Kaiju movies and shows from that era and I collect vintage merch from that time.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
