I dunno what the fuck the Neptunia series is but I can appreciate all the crazy ass random spinoffs with dumb names

The Neptunia games sell ridiculously well. Which saddens me on many, many levels.
You know how Disgaea did so well for Atlus that NISA was made as a result? Neptunia did so good for NISA that now we have Idea Factory International.

I was hoping for Bad Apple Wars. 
Oh well.
The Neptunia games have a strong audience on both Playstation platforms and PC.

So what genre is this game? I assume it isn't an RPG because the spin-offs usually aren't.
I'm surprised every single time I see you not banned.

When this series has been one of the best selling jrpgs on Steam, I'd say it has a fairly significant audience and no reason for shutting it down anytime soon. Not to mention what it accomplishes on Vita, which even that was enough for them to continue with it.
Action rpg with visual novel style story elements (all Nep games have these), like Action U.
I was hoping for Bad Apple Wars.
Is that one of their otome games? They still license those out to Aksys, so if it is one then hope's not lost. They do very well for Aksys, after all!
Also, not surprised to see this one make it over. Where's the Sega Hard Girls crossover though?

An otome game with good art and killer music. Idea Factory International has published their own otome games with Amnesia. And after Norn9's problematic localization, I'd rather Aksys not localize any games I care about until they show signs of changing.
That one just came out in Japan like last week, so they will probably wait until V-II/Blanc are out before announcing the localization.

What happened with Norn9? (I happen to think otome games are what IF are best at.)
Just glanced at the OT. Yikes.
Hey I liked the first Re;Birth for what it was, can't vouch for the others (mostly because the gameplay is the same and I don't feel like it without a good price tag), but yea.
The only Neptunia that was really bad was the very first one, they've improved dramatically since, and the rebirths are legitimately good games. CJ just has a silly grudge against Idea Factory games.

because why not. I bet they can even make the Zombies cute.

They've gone from being awful to mediocre. They still have yet to make a legitimately good game.
It's definitely possible for IFI to handle it, though I'm not sure how well Amnesia did. I hope it was successful, since I'd love to see more otome titles making it over.
Looking at Norn9, I'm pretty surprised. The Aksys published titles I've played all had good localizations; guess they just dropped the ball on that one. Hopefully if they do pick this one up, they won't rush the localization.
Oh, I didn't realize it was that recent! Yeah, that announcement is probably a bit further out.

Why? The neptunia games are good. No reason to put them down for their success.
It still amazes me that they managed to establish the franchise the way they did despite the first game being... not favourable. The improvements made since then are quite astonishing, and playing through Re;Birth 3 right now is a blast for me.
That said, I'm so in for this. Really enjoyed U, and since this is supposed to be rather similar, I'm excited.

Have you even tried those games?
Characters are funny with many forth wall breaking gags and the gameplay is enjoyable enough.
If for you anime girls=bad it's your problem, i'm not a fan of "moe" games but if people like them what's your problem? Disgaea has nothing to do with Neptunia, 2 different series for 2 different genres, their sales are unrelated, if you want to blame someone blame disgaea and srpgs fans.
I'm currently playing Rebirth1 on PC, and I'm loving the combination of cuteness and humor. The game itself is "good enough" to not get in the way. I particularly like the fast loading, as I feel like I haven't seen that since the SNES. I bought Rebirth2 because I don't want this ride to end.
Your favourite game sucks.

I went into this series thinking I'd probably like the gameplay but hate all the characters, but Neptune is actually a very fun and goofy (in a good way) character, if that makes any sense.

MegaTagmension > Hyperdevotion. Noire sucks. Day 1.

Cool. Might just wait for Steam on this one down the line. I enjoyed Nep U, but felt I'd had my fill of it by the time I finished, so not as fussed about this.
At least they're bringing Trillion next year which I am very hyped for.

I guess I shouldn't worry about Neptunia games coming over. Thanks.
Yes! Vita becomes the ultimate Nepnep machine. Will get this day 1.
I wish Death Under the Labyrinth was also "on the table". That seems like most interesting DRPG on Vita: La Pucelle artist and pet mechas. Hopefully they'll localize that too.

Looking forward to this one greatly, hopefully I can assemble together 3 other people to play it online with.
Except Victory II, which is legitimately better than pretty much every JRPG from the last console generation. But you know, let's keep shitting on the Neptunia series because once upon a time Compile Heart made bad games.

Weren't you the one to admit having never played the newer games in the franchise and just bashing it because reasons ?
Website's up. http://ideafintl.com/blanc-zombies
Looks like there's a preview trailer. Not sure if it's actually live or not, since I'm on mobile and it seems to be an swf.

Yeah, Gematsu put it up on Youtube.
It's just the Japanese announcement trailer with English overlaid on it. It's what they do for all their trailers sadly.
