Yes yes yes!
i selfishly hope it comes in 2020 cuz honestly i have no time to play it this year...I hope localization coming soon means coming this year so this can be my secret GOTY
It's in the top 20 eshop charts in Japan right now. It's a cult classic like Earthbound, and led to some other cult classics in Japan like Hylics.How fondly is the game remembered in Japan? Has its cult grown over time?
Oh fuck if we could also play UFO and L.O.L, I would die happy.
They went collectively nuts over the announcement. It's the equivalent of announcing Chrono Trigger's return.
All the dev's recent games have all been digital only. They're pretty small and don't take in a ton of cash.Is it digital only in Japan? Is there any chance of a US physical? Been dying to play this in English for about 20 years now... loving all the official translations of classic games that missed the boat the first time around, and I hope this trend continues.
i don't think it'll remain exclusive, they're just a small team focusing on one platform for now.Does anyone know if Nintendo bankrolled this one or is it a timed exclusive?

Anyone know who owns Rule of Rose? It did release over here but like Michigan, it's the most expensive survival horror game on the PS2.

Have no idea what this game is (read the description of gameplay on Wikipedia and a headscratcher), but with the positive reception happy for everyone its being localized.

Would love a re-release or digital port of both of those games.Anyone know who owns Rule of Rose? It did release over here but like Michigan, it's the most expensive survival horror game on the PS2.
Not yet. I have something like a dozen TGS interviews I need to transcribe and zero time.
Moon RPG is now available on the Japanese eShop (¥1980, 1.3GB)
Kind of funny that this is STILL a fairly new/fresh perspective for RPGs.The legendary anti-RPG "moon", released 22 years ago on the full moon day, has been supervised and completely transplanted by the original staff! Have you ever wondered when you played an RPG "Why does the hero steal items from people's houses without permission?" "Why does the hero kill all monsters around the world?" A strange event in the RPG world that everyone feels. In this game, you can taste the familiar RPG world from a new perspective.
the game beats DQXI S and gets to #1 on the eshop chart!
Next week...in game magazines...
4Gamer: So what will you do if the port of moon gets great reviews?
Yoshiro Kimura, moon game designer: "Well, then I'd probably get into the mood to make a sequel! (laughs)"
4Gamer: Even though up until just now, you were saying it wasn't possible. (laughs)
Kimura: "Still, I mean, if it sells like hotcakes, it's not weird for the topic to come up. When I say that "I can't make a sequel to moon" usually, I'm talking about a narrative sequel to moon. If it isn't something directly related, I'm pretty sure I'd have some ideas."
4Gamer: That would be nice.
Kimura: "But on this topic, I've always thought this, but moon 2 already exists. For me, it's Chulip. For Taro-chan [Taro Kudo, game designer, and current Vanpool director], it's Endonesia, while for Nishi-san I wonder if Giftpia is your moon 2. In terms of how time flows in the game, and how the characters inhabit the game world, all the members of Love-de-Lic have already made moon 2. That's why, if moon becomes a hit this time, and everyone gets together to work on something again, that might be moon 3."
Kenichi Nishi, moon director: "Actually, Suzuki-san and Matsuo-san have also said, "Try to get the members of Love-de-Lic together once again." "Because it would be fun to get together once again at this age." However, if you aren't careful, it will turn into a reunion where people reminiscence about how things were better back then. I want to avoid that."
