Japanese Role Playing Games: Why They aren’t being Localized?

September 10, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: tsunako

After watching a video about someone’s thoughts about Japanese RPGs and the losing popularity of the genre in the west, it got me wondering why this is the case because Japanese video game developers are becoming more reluctant to localize more releases. I think there are some reasons why they feel this way. (Image Source)

Since E3 happened last week, it’s time to share my brief thoughts about the Playstation 4 and games for the Nintendo consoles as everyone else already done so…

Also, Anime Impressions for Photo Kano and Ore no Imouto 2 Episode 11. (Image Source)

Atelier Meruru – First Impressions – Iyashikei of Item Crafting

Artist: cocorip

In the past, I have written some initial impressions or full reviews of video games from Japan. Of course, most of what I covered is ones related to Anime such as the Idolmaster games and Pokémon. Now I’m going to do something slightly different and share my thoughts about a pretty obscure game called Atelier Meruru. (Image Source)

Thoughts about The iDOLM@STER 2 – Probably the Most Fun I have from a Music Game thus far…

January 12, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This expression at the sight of Jupiter never gets old.

Have you ever dream of raising a Japanese pop idol? If so, Idolmaster is the game that allows you to. Surprisingly, I haven’t heard much about the game even though I have seen other fellow anime bloggers played the actual game. This is mostly because typical Namco refuses to localize the game (and others) for obvious reasons and that it’s originally on the Xbox 360, a console I do not want to own. Sure, a PSP version of the original game and the Nintendo DS spinoff, Dearly Stars eventually came out. What made me interested in playing the game is the Anime that recently finished. When I heard that there is a Playstation 3 version of the second game, I just had to play it. It basically motivated me to learn Japanese and thus, I gave it a spin.

The iDOLM@STER 2 is a “second vision” game in the series that puts a lot of emphasis on “Unity” (or 団結(だんけつ)) as shown in the Anime. In this game, you have to create an idol unit with three members (leader and two sub members) and manage them so you achieve the top position in the Idol Academy.  Like in the older games, the choices you make are crucial in order to succeed. Since I played the game for most of my winter vacation, I may as well share my thoughts about the gameplay rather than writing a full review.
