MS going hard at the Japanese market
Persona and now this

 

[Chukhopops]

I can believe that, they already brought most of the Spike Chunsoft games. It’s easier to get in smaller devs with GP deals and it would solve one of the perceived weaknesses of MS.

Psikyo shmups starting popping up in the Xbox store too - with more on the way.
Cave's Deathsmiles earlier in the year.
All good steps forward.

I hope the console can at least get somewhat close to xb360 levels of japanese stuff.

I think they are already doing better than the 360 as far as Japanese support goes, and if they can continue to claw marketshare it's going to be hard for Japanese devs to ignore them.

Especially since Japan isn't really buying consoles anymore.

According to Nick of Xbox Era

Oh, it's that dude again.

Can't wait for the gunbird games and hopefully the upcoming akai katana remake

 

[anthony2690]

I don't have much hope with it being Nick, but I'd love to see the YS games on Xbox, as I quite enjoy the series .

& I wouldn't mind the recent yurukill that I recently gifted a friend.

It gone to be really hard to beat 360 days for me as 360 has Lost Odyssey as a 1st party game
But i have a feeling they will buy a Japanese developer/publisher after the Activision deal is done

 

[lachesis]

I'm all for Falcom games to be more widely available. They are on Switch, PS and Steam - so Xbox is only the final frontier.

hmmm...you think so? Im not so sure - yet at least.
PS4/Switch still gets tons of Japanese stuff that never shows up on Xbox. I mainly follow the shmup releases.

There were segments of the PS360 gen the 360 got everything and ended up with the better versions on top of it. My Japanese 360 shumps are some of the prizes of my collection - but even those have almost all popped up on switch in recent years.

Regardless - things are moving in the right direction for Japanese xbox stuff.
Night and day from the XB1 era.

Lost Odyssey is playable on XSX though.

I will admit shmups are a bit of a blindspot for me.

I don't like or get the genre and i played (1942) a lot. So I may have overlooked those.

It seems like they are getting more support in almost everything else though.

 

[Craig of War]

Yes with BC but it still a X360 game

 

[Naked Lunch]

Would be wild to see more of the Ys series on Xbox.
I think only Ys origins ever made it.

If you liked 1942, give 19XX or 1942 Loop Master both from Capcom Arcade Stadium, Strikers 1945 II, or Battle Garegga a shot.
All WWII themed, all time great shmups - basically modern updates to the OG 1942.

I just canceled my game pass subscription. I await acquisition headlines from Japan.

Lost Odyssey is still the best final fantasy game.

It's a crime it didn't become a franchise, absolutely loved the game.

Capcom Arcade Stadium highlights for me personally are:
Progear
Gigawing
Varth

Honestly worth the price admission for them 3 games alone & even crazier you can get the games separately for £1.69 a piece

Oh absolutely I love Capcom Stadium - the full package. Progear all day, every day.
Kagey K was saying the only shmup he ever liked was the ol 1942 - so I was trying to think of new(er) shmups that are the spiritual, and in some cases direct (19XX), successors to '42.

Quite a few of them 194x games on the collection, personally never liked 1942 myself, always felt so dated, I can imagine for it's time it was great though.

EviLore can we just ban news from Shpeshal_Ed as he's been proven unreliable many times?

 

[Goalus]

Good.

 

[azertydu91]

Good news if true but considering the source you'd have more success using tarot cards.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I commend their efforts to expand the XBOX Japanese portfolio, but I really doubt most XBOX owners will even bat an eyelid with their games and offerings for the obvious reasons.

 

[reksveks]

What did xbox share at the last TGS?

 

[Spukc]

Disgaea 6 is 70 euro’s on PC
The steam forum is just 1 giant collection of people complaining like hell about the pricing
