This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (9/7/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

The PSN has looked like a river of deals these last two weeks, so writing this post feels strangely small with last week's Big in Japan sale coming to an end. Alas, Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth 3 is this week's new release, with a nice amount of free DLC to make sure you have the maximum Neptunia ReBirth 3 experience. Also, if you're a fan of One Piece Unlimited World Red, the season pass is on sale at the moment for a good price to satisfy your seasonal DLC needs.

Enjoy your week and happy gaming!

_______________________________________________________

Pick of the week: Well, consider the volume of new releases this week, Neptunia is an obvious choice if you're a fan of the zany humour. With the amount of free DLC, themes and what not, I'd be on this train if I'd finished Rebirth 1 (but I'm still playing FFIX. Oops.)

What's your pick of the week? Will you be picking up anything from the PSN this week?

This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (2/7/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

This week we see two releases hitting the PSN in their localised forms. First is Ar nosurge Plus, the enhanced PS Vita version of the PS3 game Ar nosurge that was released (and I reviewed) last year that boasts extra content and DLC for those who didn't play the game and for those who loved it. Second is the cool Japanese fighting game J-Stars Victory VS+ which features a ridiculous cast of characters from anime ranging from Dragon Ball to Assassination Classroom to To Love-Ru to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Anime fans will probably want to pick this up this fun game!

For those who aren't interested in the new releases or who enjoy saving money, the Big In Japan sale is still going, so if you need a new JRPG, you can probably find one at a great price.

Enjoy your week and happy gaming!

Pick of the week: J-Stars Victory VS+ for it's ridiculously diverse cast. Seriously. How are characters from Dragonball Z and Nisekoi in the same game? Brilliant.

The E3 2015 Announcement Summary For The JRPG Fan

While Tokyo Game Show is usually the big show for JRPG gamers, I absolutely love E3. The diversity of games is always vast and impressive and each conferences always has something for everyone.

There were some huge announcements this year, one of the biggest being the Final Fantasy VII Remake (what?!), but it wasn't the only JRPG announced during E3. Here is a generous handful of JRPG announcements that you may or may not have missed during E3 2015.

This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (26/6/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

With last week's E3 silence on the PSN, the store has hit back with some solid new releases and an amazing 'Big In Japan' sale. I seriously don't think I've typed up this many game titles anymore. In new release land, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is promising to add another big chunk of story, new classes and gameplay access to the already huge world of Final Fantasy XIV, making it an ideal time to try XIV if you haven't already. On top of this is the incredible Big In Japan sale, including some truly great games such as Persona 4 Golden, Danganronpa, most of the Final Fantasy series and a good chunk of the Tales series, along with plenty more. There's honestly just too many games to mention.

Have a good week and as always, happy gaming!

This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (19/6/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

It's a quiet week indeed on the PSN this week, probably due to E3. Nothing much to talk about, unless you missed last week's Freedom Wars special or you've been dying to see the Onechanbara Z2 trailer. But don't worry - watching E3 conferences takes up a good chuck of time, so if you need some new game news, search E3 on Youtube (or check out our summary post which I'll link here soon!).

Have a good week and as always, happy gaming!

Trailers

• Onechanbara Z2: Chaos (PS4)

Deals

• Freedom Wars (PS Vita)

_______________________________________________________

Pick of the week: I'll always recommend Freedom Wars if it's on sale, but the Onechanbara trailer is also cool and free to watch and looks all action packed with girls slaying zombies in bikinis...If that's your thing of course.

This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (12/6/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

I would say this week is quiet on PSN for JRPGs, mostly due to the new release of Elder Scrolls Online on PS4 possibly sending other releases running. However, if you need a game to play on your Vita, Freedom Wars is currently on sale for a steal and is a uniquely fun game with fun online and offline play. Otherwise there's a little DLC, but not much else to talk about or new to play. ]
I'm not too worried because I'm happily playing Final Fantasy IX, so maybe you should hit your backlog this week too!

Have a good week and happy gaming!

DLC

Dragon Ball Xenoverse (PS3, PS4)

Paid

• Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of <<F>> Pack

Toukiden: Kiwami (PS Vita, PS4)

Paid

• Armor - Chthonian Fiend Mask
• Armor - Soma and Reki Set
• Armor - Tenko Gloves

Deals

Big Discounts

• Freedom Wars (PS Vita)

Pick of the week: Freedom Wars, because it surprised me with how fun it was to cut up monsters and use a flying thorn all Attack on Titan style.

This Week's PSN EU/AU PSN Releases, JRPG Style! (5/6/15)

Why hello! Welcome to this week's edition of Europe and Australia's new PSN releases, which pulls each week's PSN additions related to the JRPG genre and other Japanese games into one post for your convenience.

So I must have been living under a rock or something over the last few weeks (or starting a new job), because I somehow completely missed that Steins;Gate was coming to PS3. Steins;Gate is one of my favourite anime ever because of it's deep story about time travel and it's effects on others and the game is meant to delve much deeper into this tale. If you haven't experienced the story, this is supposed to be the best way to do it.

Joining Steins;Gate are Operation Abyss and Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-. I'm definitely excited for Guilty Gear's 2.5D graphics and because I always love an Arc System Works fighting game. Operation Abyss could also be interesting, with it incorporating lots of ideas from other games hopefully in new ways. With these three new releases, I'm pretty happy with this week's selections for JRPG fans and would call this a good week!

To all of you, have a good week and happy gaming!

New Releases

• Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- (PS4)
• Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (PS Vita)
• Steins;Gate (PS3)

DLC

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (PS Vita)

Free

• Dark Hero Portraits
• Power Recorder Set

Paid

• Swim Team Xth Squad
