Compile Heart have revealed they are in the early stages of developing a new Madō Monogatari game in collaboration with SEGA.
The Madō Monogatari series has been a Japan exclusive line of dungeon crawler RPGs that feature characters that would later appear in the Puyo Puyo franchise. Games in the series have appeared on MSX, Game Gear, Mega Drive, SNES and SEGA Saturn.
As the game is currently in early development it is not clear when it will release and what platforms are being targeted. There is also no word on whether the game will see a Western release at this time.
A new trailer for Neptunia vs. SEGA Hard Girls has gone live. This new trailer showcases lots of the game’s characters and gives you a good look at the game’s battle system. You can check it out via the embed below:
Neptunia vs. SEGA Hard Girls launches on the 26th of November for PS Vita in Japan. There is currently no word on a Western release.
The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy is coming to PC and while the first game is currently available, the second and third haven’t had their release dates set… until now. Well sort of; one of them has a solid date and the other has a projected date.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation is released on the 19th of May while Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation is set for an Autumn release. These games are HD ports of the PS Vita games and now feature the option to choose Japanese or English voice overs.
If you are unfamiliar with the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise then you can expect an action RPG which features a fantasy world themed around video game consoles. The game takes its moniker from the cancelled SEGA Neptune console and various SEGA characters cameo in the series. The Re;Birth games take place in an alternate world based on the video games of the 1980s. While the games are not published by SEGA, they are made in collaboration with the company.
SEGA Japan and Compile Heart have revealed Neptunia vs. SEGA Hard Girls; a new crossover game for the PS Vita.
If you are unfamiliar with the 2 titles, Hyperdimension Neptunia is an action RPG which features a fantasy world themed around video game consoles. The game takes its moniker from the cancelled SEGA Neptune console and various SEGA characters cameo in the series. SEGA Hard Girls is a short animated series based around SEGA’s various game franchises and features characters who are based on SEGA consoles so it’s a pretty good fit for the world of Hyperdimension Neptunia.
There is currently no screenshots or footage available for Neptunia vs. SEGA Hard Girls but we’re expecting it to be an action RPG in a similar style as Hyperdimension Neptunia. More details as we get them.
Hyperdimension Neptunia MK-II is getting a North American and European release through NIC America and the ESRB have stuck an M for Mature rating on it. Why? Let the ESRB tell you:
“A variety of scenes depict a supernatural villain who harasses female characters and makes sexually suggestive comments (e.g., “Come, come and sit on daddy’s lap. We’ll have fun exploring each other,” “You can be a cunning linguist, my dear,” “I’m dying to leer at her longingly,” and “Mmmm, the height of ecstasy, licking a nubile maiden’s wounds!”/“No, hey stop . . . I said stop it!”)—accompanying licking sounds can be hea”rd off screen.”
Ooooo matron!
For those not in the know, Hyperdimension Neptunia is published by SEGA in Japan and features many tongue-in-cheek references to the games industry. MK-II is the sequel to the original game and will release in both North America and Europe in February 2012.
