I'm happy that I'm not the only person who is very excited and happy when Japanese games are announced on the PC and I can buy them on Steam.
But I've noticed that maybe when I do that it sounds like I'm not just happy to have the games that I do. But that I see it as something that will lead to games that I really love. I suppose it could seem like just a way of showing my happiness that more Japanese games are on Steam. And that I just want more games and am happy to have more.
But I think it's kind of true sometimes. That it's not so much the game that I'm happy about, but hopes that it will keep happening until things get better, and then I can have my most favourite games of all time on my favourite platform.
I'm sure there will always be new and more games I would like to have on my favourite platform. Since there are always more games that I love that happen. But a lot of my favourite video games are the same, and I've always wanted them on the PC.
Maybe some other people feel the same. So what are those games that you would like to see most on the PC that get you excited to see Japanese games come to the PC?
For me, with Namco, it's..
1. Tales
Tales is my favourite RPG series of all time. So more than any game series from Namco, or even RPG series, I'd love to see Tales games on Steam. For me, that would be a dream come true. Especially if it's a port I can be proud of. Mods would make up for it if it were a bad port, but if it were a good port, it would be even easier to tell everyone to buy and support it. I would buy so many copies of any Tales game if they were on Steam, I've already bought more than 50 copies of Recettear and more than 30 copies of Fortune Summoners.
2. Klonoa
Klonoa is my second favourite franchise from Namco or Bandai Namco. I don't love it as much as Tales, but I really really love it. Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil is one of my most favourite games ever. It's probably in my top 10 favourite PlayStation 2 games. And I would just love to have it and the Wii game on Steam so much. I'd buy it lotsa times to support it.
And while published by Bandai Namco, so I don't know how much CyberConnect counts, I'd love to see the .hack games on Steam. I love .hack and would love to play them again on the PC. I could do that with emulators, but having them on Steam would be even nicer. Besides, .hack is about an MMORPG, and MMORPGs usually come to the PC.
Really, I really like Namco Bandai or Bandai Namco in general. And there's so many other games that Namco Bandai has published or developed that I've love to see on Steam. Like Taiko no Tatsujin and Katamari. But Tales is my favourite.
It would be hard for me to choose a game, because I love all of them. But if I had to choose one, it would be Tales of Vesperia. Lotsa people love it, and while it's not my favourite Tales game and I think it's kinda overrated. It's really popular and new and pretty. And would be a great reason to bring all the PlayStation 3 content to the West. I feel like lots of people like the game and the cell shading is really pretty. And it would be neat to have Microsoft's first Tales game on Steam.
And I guess my second choice would be Tales of Symphonia Chronicles. Tales of Symphonia is my favourite Tales game. So while it doesn't have the most amazing graphics, it's still really pretty, and it has a wonderful story. I think it has a better story than Tales of Vesperia. I actually kind of want this game on Steam more than Tales of Vesperia because it's my favourite. But it's hard to decide.
From Capcom it's...
1. Mega Man
- Mega Man Powered Up
The whole franchise. I miss Mega Man in general. And Mega Man is one of my most favourite Capcom franchises, probably my favourite. Along with making more Mega Man games, I really wish they would bring them to the PC. Capcom has been really good with putting their games on Steam, too. I wish along with their other games they would put Mega Man games on Steam, so I could buy them and support them there.
It's hard to choose a single Mega Man game that I would like on Steam the most. But one of them would be Mega Man Powered Up. It's a kind of recent Mega Man game, and I love being able to play as Roll. And I've always loved the original Mega Man. And sharing stages online with Steam would be so neat!
2. Okami
Okami is such a beautiful game. I love playing it with PCSX2 and the HD remaster. I wish I could play such a beautiful game even more beautiful. In like 4K or something! If there's anything that would make me happy to have a nice graphics card, it would be being able to play a remaster of Okami on my PC. I play it so much on the PC already with PCSX2, I just wish I could support it on Steam.
I always just wish that there was a little more I could do. Having DLC and Okamiden would be nice, too. Depending on how it was done. Like, extra content and placed to go and things to do, they really could make it the best version of Okami. I wish it would happen so much. And imagine doing brushtrokes with your mouse? That would be lots of fun! I usually like playing games with a controller, but I think that doing brushstrokes with my mouse would be much more fun.
And I guess my third and other favourites would be Darkstalkers and Breath of Fire. I like Japanese RPGs, and Breath of Fire was pretty neat. Though by far my favourite Capcom franchise is Mega Man.
So I guess while with Namco Bandai, the games I would like to see most are Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Graces and Xillia and all the other Tales games, and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. With Capcom, I guess if I had to choose one game I want the most on Steam, it would be Mega Man Powered Up.
For Konami, it's..
1. Bemani
There's actually not that many franchises from Konami that I'm fond of. But Bemani really sticks out. I'm a huge fan of Bemani. I've always been a candy kid and I've loved Dance Dance Revolution and techno music for a long time. Which is great because other things I'm a fan of are very in the techno culture still, like moe anime, and touhou, and things like that. I'm a big fan of J-Core and Touhou and everything P.L.U.R.
An arcade style franchise that is usually best with big metal pads might not seem like the best fit for the PC. But I don't see why not. After all, Stepmania has been really popular for a long time on the PC. So plenty of people who don't play it arcade style, play it with a keyboard just as much a controller. In fact, thanks to Stepmania, it might be more popular to play Bemani style games with a keyboard than a console controller. And you can always use a controller with a PC anyway.
With tablets and mini PCs and ultrabooks and all sorts of things as small and portable as consoles being PCs, and big picture mode. You could easily carry around a mat and a PC to play Bemani games. That's what people have done with Stepmania for years.
As a big Bemani and Stepmania and J-Core and Techno and Hardcore and Hardstyle and Trance fan and Touhou and things. I would just love to be able to play all my favourite kors k tracks on Steam and support him and my other favourite J-Core artists, and Bemani.
I guess if I had to choose one game I want the most, it would be Beatmania IIDX 16: Empress.
So I guess it would be Tales of Vesperia for Namco Bandai, Mega Man Powered Up for Capcom, and Beatmania IIDX 16: Empress for Konami.
There aren't too many other games I'm a big fan of from Konami. But the Suikoden and Twinbee games would be nice.
From SEGA, who are great and support the PC. There are lots of games I'd love to see more of. But my favourites would be..
1. Hatsune Miku Project Diva
Any of the games would be amazing. But Hatsune Miku Project Diva f would be a good place to start. It was hard to choose, because there's a lot of SEGA games and franchises I wish SEGA supported more. But I guess this one is a good first place.
2. Puyo Puyo Fever
I'm such a big fan of puzzle games like Panel de Pon, Puyo Puyo, and Magical Drop. I was so happy when Magical Drop came to Steam. And it would be so amazing to see Puyo Puyo come to Steam.
3. Sakura Wars
4. Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Already has a PC release. But it isn't perfect. I'd love to see an updated version on Steam.
5. Valkyria Chronicles
Another SEGA game I'd really really like to see on Steam is Phantasy Star Nova.
Oh yeah, and I shouldn't forget Atlus. I'm a big fan of the Etrian Odyssey games. So it would be nice to see those on Steam.
For Square Enix, it's really hard to choose. I kind of like a lot of games but maybe a lot of them wouldn't be good fits. And having a number one favourite game would be hard. For me it might be Seiken Densetsu 3.
So.. maybe something like this?
1. Seiken Densetsu 3
2. Kiki Kaikai
3. Bubble Bobble
4. Final Fantasy IX
5. Final Fantasy IV
6. Threads of Fate
7. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy
9. Chrono Trigger
9. Brave Fencer Musashi
10. Final Fantasy V
Though, some of these games are a little bit old. But that isn't a bad thing, is it? I mean, not every game has to push people's PC hardware. Many of the best things about PC gaming have nothing to do with graphics. And it's great that many people have put older games on the PC and Steam. I want all my favourite games on Steam. And even if they can be emulated, it's good to buy them.
But I guess some more graphical games like Final Fantasy X would be nice.
For Cave, I would love to see any Cave games on Steam. Along with Tales games and Klonoa games, Cave games are some of the ones I would most like to see on Steam.
It would be hard to choose just one game I would like to have most on Steam, because like Namco Bandai, I want to see almost all of their games on Steam. But I guess if I had to choose one it would be...
1. DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou
And I would love to see Touhou games on Steam. That would be a dream come true, too. Both the fangames and the official games. I keep hoping that ZUN will put his games on Steam.
And one of the reasons I always want to see Nintendo go third party is that I'd love to see them develop games for the PC like SEGA does. I buy Nintendo hardware just for Nintendo games because I love Nintendo games so much. Even if all my other favourite games and franchises came to Steam, I still wouldn't be able to stop being a console gamer, because of Nintendo.
Well, I'm going to take a break and just post the thread. It would be hard for people to read if I wrote too much. And there's just so many things to mention that I think this is good enough for now.
So why don't you share yours, please?
