After a good Japanese game to play whilst you have nothing to play (Like I have been the last few days). I have dug around for a few games that have/are coming out in Japan that I think would be great to see over here, even if it is unlikely in some cases. These games HAVE NOT recieved any official confirmation by any publisher for english distrubution.
Corpse Party: Blood Covered Repeated Fear
Playstation Portable
This game apparantly has a release date of August 5th 2010 in Japan with no english distribution confirmed. This is based off a PC game series of the same name released in installments over the last few years, and is essentially a horror survival game with seemingly a bit of mystery. I played the first Corpse Party PC game and really enjoyed it, so I hope I can check it out at some point on its PSP adaptation! Official Site: http://5pb.jp/games/corpse/
Infinite Loop Kojjou Ga Miseta Yume
Playstation Portable
This game was released in 2008 in Japan by Nippon Ichi Software. The game system seems similar to the one used in Disgaea Infinite however instead of the comedic mystery found in Disgaea infinite, this seems to be a much more serious one, and focuses on a (I think) King whose kingdom has succumbed to a plague, and therefore can possess people to help find out the mystery behind it. I could possibly see this game coming over in English if Disgaea Infinite is very successful. Official Site: http://nippon1.jp/consumer/infiniteloop/
Blue Roses
Playstation Portable
Not much is known about this title, but apparantly the official site will have more up in a few days time. Hopefully it is a good game. Official Site: http://nippon1.jp/consumer/blueroses/
Princess Antiphona’s Hymn: Angel’s Score Op.A
Playstation Portable
This is apparantly the sequel to the much loved (??) musical RPG Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. Now, I am sure you were expecting a game where pirates sing about lotion and all that, however thankfully there doesnt seem to be any of that from the previews. Taken a look at the battle system as well and have to say…. it is…. interesting in many ways, such as having to say sorry to your enemies before you run away from battle. There has been a move on the NISA Forums to bring this game out over here, so who knows…. might get lucky. Official Site: http://nippon1.jp/consumer/antiphona/
Atelier Totori
Playstation 3
I havent played the prior game, Atelier Rorona which is currently being worked on by Nippon Ichi Europe. However, I can see this game coming out if Rorona is a success, so something to keep your eyes out on…. same item creation / RPG system involved it seems. Official Site: http://atelier-ps3.jp/totori/
White Knight Chronicles 2: Awakening of Light and Darkness
Playstation 3
I am aware that White Knight Chronicles wasnt all that well recieved by certain parties, however I personally found it a solid RPG with a great online element. This is supposedly the last game in the set and is set to go out with a bang with everything being revamped and improved. Official Site: http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/shirokishi/
