Rejoice: Black Rock Shooter The Game hits PSPs this month

This slipped under Japanator's easily-distracted radar array last week - why, oh why did we hire cats to man the monitoring stations? - but it's pleasant to know either way: NIS America has, after a long enough del...

PS Vita to get three new Neptunia games this year

I stopped being surprised by new Hyperdimension Neptunia games a long, long time ago. The RPG series is clearly here to stay, and if folks are to be believed, each new entry has improved on the last. At Dengeki Playstation ev...

All hell breaks loose in Disgaea D2's animated opening

We are a few weeks away from Disgaea Dimension 2's Japanese release, and things are still looking good for Laharl and the gang. Also, is that Flonne using a magical girl transformation sequence to change into a bus...

Gameindustri is doomed: Neptunia V faces a slight delay

It's over, people, we have to go home now. The United Kingdom and North American side of Gameindustri is done, and there's nothing that we can do about it. NISA gave it their all, but it was just not enough. Actually, it's no...

Huzzah?! Hyperdimension Neptunia iOS app now available

It continues to blow my mind that the Hyperdimension Neptunia series sells well enough in the west to warrant their continued localization. I completely understand that I'm not Compile Heart's target audience for these games,...

Disgaea D2's new trailer is one hellish good time

Oh Nippon Ichi, it was foolish of me to be worried about your true sequel to the first Disgaea. So what won me over this time? Simple, NIS's style is something that I have adored from them since the momen...

David Production are creating the Neptunia anime

Hyperdimension Neptunia has been on my RPG radar for a while now. The fact that it's pretty hard to find in the wild, coupled with hearing mixed opinions about the series as a whole, means that I just haven't got around to it...

Laharl brings out the pants in Disgaea Dimension 2 teaser
