I'll be getting Growlanser and Gungnir. I was originally interested in Grand Knights History but not no that I hear there's almost no single-player content. I'll be getting Unchained Blades on 3DS. The only one I totally don't give a fuck about is COH2 which by pretty much all accounts is generic C-list trash.
Last PSP game anyone will probably buy!
What about that Suikoden recently released in Japan?

Doomed! Don't think Konami will care even for a non-dubbed DD release.What about that Suikoden recently released in Japan?
Yeah, from what I hear the single player mode is just a build up for multiplayer. Hopefully online won't be dead from release!I'm hoping that mean loads of multiplayer content.
There was no choice one custom FW came along.It's such a shame that Sony let the PSP reach such lows in the West. There are probably two dozens Japanese games I'd definitely buy released for the thing in the last two years that will never make the jump across the pond.

Maybe not booming per se, but PSP unit sales were very healthy for quite some time. Much healthier than the corresponding software sales.I don't think that's the whole story, I mean hardware sales were never booming either before or after CFW.

Blazing Souls Accelate release date announced
Anime strategy role-playing game Blazing Souls Accelate launches on PSP and on PSN on 27th April, Rising Star Games has announced. The PSN version works on the PS Vita, too.
Fate/EXTRA gets a release date
Well, I’m delighted to reveal that Fate/EXTRA will be released on the 4th May, priced at just £39.99 with a PSN release to follow in the near future.
I don't think that's the whole story, I mean hardware sales were never booming either before or after CFW. I think it was a marketing issue and not having the right franchises to appeal to people who are the most likely to buy or receive handhelds.
I was hoping to see knights in the nightmare with an EU release.
Can't you just import the NA ver? PSP is region free.
I would love to but I have a vita now! Is it on the US psn store?
Definitely in for Grand Knights History and Growlanser... maybe Black Rock Shooter if it doesn't suck, but I dunno about the chances of that...
Hopefully P2: EP is out this year. Because that's naturally a must-buy.

I imported it.
I can confirm it's a solid game. Definitely worth a purchase.
Didn't like it as much as I liked Last Ranker, but I really, really enjoyed Last Ranker, so take from that what you will.
That you'd take Fate/Extra over Growlanser says more about you than it does the quality of the year.
Why is NIS so quiet on Black Rock Shooter: Teh Game?
So did I. It's very good, and the soundtrack is one of my favourites of the generation.Didn't like it as much as I liked Last Ranker, but I really, really enjoyed Last Ranker, so take from that what you will.
lol.What about that Suikoden recently released in Japan?
Eh... I honestly wouldn't expect much or perhaps you should grab it when it's on sale or something. I thought it was pretty mediocre (I liked the art and sprites; didn't think much of the soundtrack), but a friend of mine really disliked it.Labadal said:Anyone played the Blazing Souls game? I'm interested, but I don't know what to expect.
I wrote something up in the Hakuoki OT and on Giant Bomb for Hakuoki if anyone's interested. It's not an RPG at all, but a visual novel. And it's an IF game that I actually like.
I just noticed a good two days ago that Hakuoki isn't on the VITA PSN store.
That's quite strange; I remember Akselziys saying that they were trying to get it on there.I just noticed a good two days ago that Hakuoki isn't on the VITA PSN store.

You see, it's rather grindy. To progress, you need to get WP (work points), and then you need to spend those WPs to look around on the world map and talk to people to find battlegrounds. This is probably the worst part of the game, by far (and it's likely better to use a FAQ to progress the plot efficiently). I didn't like the mechanic much, but it caused my friend to put the game down for good. WPs are hard to find. You get them from going through the plot, or converting them from CP (which you get from getting long combos on enemies). I personally think this is the main issue with the game, and might make it feel like an absolute chore.
And level grinding is almost mandatory.
There's a lot of customization in this game too. You customize characters when they level up, you get stat points from battle, you can synth better gear, you can capture monsters to use in battle, you can synthesize items, there are multiple endings, some skills and aliases to get, extra characters to get, there's a NG+, etc. There's a lot to do in this game, and if you feel like you like it, you'll think that it's pretty beefy.
Or needlessly overly-complex... It's an Idea Factory game. I'm not too fond of IF games. I'll stress that you should read the instruction manual carefully and follow the in-game instructions and tutorials. Save before you search for stuff. Keep multiple saves in case you screw up.
And the voice acting was good.
Now I'm reminded that I still have to start Jikandia after finishing off Suikoden too! :O
Getting all of them except COH2 and Unchained Blades because i can't stand 1st person dungeon crawlers.
Hopefully someone will pick one of these up

I wonder if Persona 2 EP PSP will make it to NA within 2012. Atlus sure is busy.

Everyone drives in the U.S. basically while in comparison, most people don't drive in Japan. I see people playing PSP on the trains all the time out here. That market of "I need something to do while I commute" doesn't really exist in a country where individuals drive cars to and from work.
There's also the public perception - for some reason, people i've talked to tend to think that PSP has "no games", or that the games are all bad. Blows my mind when I hear it but I have heard it several times from "gamers'
