Is this the surprising collaboration Compile Heart hinted at?
A representative explained the reason why Galapagos RPG exists is because more and more Japanese developers tend to make games for the West by changing their style and Compile Heart doesn’t want to move in that direction.
Compile Heart, one of Idea Factory’s brands, has a new label called Galapagos RPG. Their mission is to develop RPGs specifically for Japanese customers. So, I guess this is a JRPG label that makes JRPGs only for Japan?
After releasing Knights in the Nightmare and Gungnir, Sting has been working with Idea Factory. The two companies formed Super Sting, which created Generation of Chaos: Pandora’s Reflection.
In Japan, Mugen Souls has a longer title, Overwhelming Game Mugen Souls. Famitsu spoke to Kenta Sugano who said a new title in the “Overwhelming” series is under development.
The Hyperdimension Neptunia appears to be working on something with Keiji Inafune once again.
We decompiled the flash teaser site to find out more about Compile Heart’s countdown page.
After the racy Record of Agarest War naughty edition, I thought Aksys would release another over the top collector’s package for Record of Agarest War Zero. But, you get any more squishy mousepads or giant pillowcases with the prequel to the Agarest series.
Hyperdimension Neptunia begins with one of the most esoteric plots seen in an RPG. Perhaps, I should say RParody?
Localization process, pre-order bonuses, and cultural differences between games like Neptunia and more mainstream titles — it’s Part 2 of our fan-powered Q&A!
Part 1 of our Q&A focuses on the game’s localization.
5pb-chan, a mascot for visual novel and Phantom Breaker publisher 5pb, will finally be available as a downloadable character in Hyperdimension Neptunia.
Artbook and the original Japanese cover art are part of the package.
