Obscure makes me think it's not Drinkbox/Severed. Unless it's Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack?

Maybe Pop Sandbox with LOUD On Planet X? The game released on PS4 earlier this year, while the Vita version was delayed. I don't think it's been formally cancelled, so maybe they'll announce it's coming next month with an LRG release as well?

Brace Yourself Games (Crypt of the Necrodancer) is also Canadian, but I'm not sure that game is obscure..

 

[Shizuka]

Giant Japanese Vita exclusive? It's either Atelier or Ray Gigant.

 

[YianGaruga]

I think Necrodancer and Towerfall coub both still pass as "obsucre". Really hard to say though

Necrodancer doesn't seem as well known and popular as it should be, especially on GAF but it's on the top of my wishlist

EDIT: "Giant" is also hard to judge. I wouldn't call Atelier "giant", but compared to other LRG releases it is

EDIT: Still waiting for Playism titles btw

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

Giant Japanese Vita exclusive? It's either Atelier or Ray Gigant.

I don't think Atelier would count as exclusive and I don't want to get my hopes up. Ray Gigant is a good guess.

 

[Tapejara]

Also, my guess for obscure indie arcade game:

Don't Die, Mr. Robot!

 

[Shizuka]

I don't think Atelier would count as exclusive and I don't want to get my hopes up. Ray Gigant is a good guess.

The Atelier Plus titles are all Vita exclusives.

Ray Gigant isnt giant in any form lol. But I'd take 2 for sure.

Wonder if its berserk? I doubt its atelier unless KT lets them to the arland trilogy or something.

 

[Shizuka]

Don't think "giant" as something from Square-Enix, but "giant" in LRG's standard. Anything from a mid-size Japanese publisher would be huge for them.

 

[YianGaruga]

Ray Gigant isnt giant in any form

Hmmmmm

This may be one of those LRG hints

 

[flohen95]

Not trying to refute your point, which of course still stands

You're completely right, I always forget the PS3 got one of those.

 

[Clive]

Ray Gigant is from what I understand owned by Bandai Namco so that could potentially open up some big doors for the future. In my dreams at least. I just picked it up for below 4 bucks in a recent sale but I've always enjoyed collecting JRPGs even if I play less of them these days. Would double dip.

 

[purseowner]

Stretching the definition of 'exclusive' as it indeed is, please please be an Arland Trilogy Plus collection.

 

[mthodmn101]

I hope the arcade title isnt Woah Dave

 

[test_account]

Finally got my copy of Shantae: Pirate's Curse! Got the package slip yesterday and picked it up today. The package actually arrived 15th December at the post office, but the package slip must have been lost the first time, i got a duplicate one, and that was the first i got. I also got Volume, been waiting a while for that as well.

Or phantom breaker battle ground

Or phantom breaker battle ground

I can't think of a single thing that's big about that game. Except the publisher, I guess.

Not a Vita exclusive, though.

 

[Shizuka]

It must be an unannounced title, then. There are but a few Japanese DD-only Vita exclusives.

 

[Semoreh]

I hope the arcade title isnt Woah Dave

I'm not too much into arcade stuff, but I enjoyed Woah Dave for a little while

Not sure I'd buy it but I'd certainly consider buying it.

 

[Kresnik258]

Time to play the guessing game once again.

Haha, they love to tease don't they?

I mean, intrigued to see what's coming in January, but that Japanese Vita exclusive in February has gotten me super excited. I'd be happy with Ray Gigant and it seems likely given the blatant tease (although is that really an exclusive given it's now on Steam?), but I can't help but be hopeful that it's finally Atelier's time to shine.

 

[Olengie]

Or phantom breaker battle ground

Pls. Pls

 

[Shizuka]

I wonder how many Vita exclusives LRG will release in 2017.

 

[Shizuka]

Here's another incoming PS4 LRG release!

 

[Kresnik258]

Odd that Rising Star Games grabbed 3DS release and LRG grabbed PS4 release

It's becoming quite the trend.

Well, allegedly. That account isn't an official WayForward one but the 3DS dual pack looked legitimate enough (and makes enough sense) I figured it was worth noting.

 

[Shizuka]

Yup, you were my source! I figured it looked legit enough, but I guess it's not quite confirmed yet.

 

[Fuzzy]

I hope those are both true.

Where did this come from? Their forums don't have a recent "here's what's up" kind of post that I can see.

 

[dancrane212]

Yup, not legitimate.

Josh said there is no deal

I'd imagine Rainbow Skies will follow footsteps of the other games and be released physically with LRG too

Hopefully they forgot the word "yet" at the end of the tweet.

CheapAssGamer, Josh (Doomstink) posts quite a bit on there.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Looks like Japanese players have TSC PC...

I assume that's different from the LRG release?

Nope, looks exactly the same. I think it's safe to say at this point that the release for that has been a giant clusterfuck. Nisa signing on for the PS4 release and LRG not knowing about it was probably the biggest thing, but I would question why they released a retail PC release for Japan and seemingly didn't say a word for it either. If they had a retail release planned anyway, then I don't understand why they wanted LRG to do one as well.

 

[dallow_bg]

Since Josh is working on the PC installer himself I'm curious how well the Japanese version works.

 

[Shizuka]

I wonder if LRG will work with Playism again after this whole The Silver Case release miscommunications.

 

[hawk2025]

They really pulled a fast one on LRG.

 

[Shizuka]

Croixleur Sigma's physical japanese release is another one to look out, because I bet they already have that game signed for a physical run in the West.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Eh, it's a cluster alright, but I'm happy just to get the PC version some way or another. It looks way nicer than the PS4 LE.

If not, gunna import

 

[Curler]

If not, gunna import

Wait a bit and see? I mean, I swear every time someone goes "oh it's never going to come here *clicks import button*" then it gets announced the next day. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen that happen...

 

[Shizuka]

Cornbread's question on the Vita thread gave me an idea: the huge Vita exclusive could be Clannad.

So... console exclusive?

 

[Shizuka]

Probably, yeah.

 

[Olengie]

Tht would be a total surprise and completely amazing

 

[Shizuka]

VisualArts have a running build of Clannad for the Vita with the english localization. Frontwing's another similar publisher that made a deal with LRG not long ago. It makes a lot of sense, if VisualArts is interested in bringing their titles to the West.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

Here's a little more info on why Axiom Verge won't be a thing from LRG.

Unlikely, given how our negotiations with Dan went. If anything they're releasing through a full retail partner. It won't be limited or difficult to acquire as they weren't happy with that aspect of the original IndieBox release. Despite the quality of the game, I think it will be overprinted and end up rotting on shelves.

The issue at hand wasn't the numbers. If I could dive in to details I think everyone would understand why we have no desire to even continue trying to pursue Axiom Verge. Not really diving into the issue but Dan insulted us and pretty hard at that. I don't have any desire to work with someone who would trivialize the work we're doing. Even if we were handed the game on a silver platter we wouldn't want it as a matter of principle.

 

[Clive]

No LRG almost certainly also means no Vita even if it does end up getting printed eventually. Shame since that's my preferred format. I actually have a digital copy on Vita+PS4 already but it's definitely a game I'd want on my shelf.
