One of the PlayStation 4 Launch titles in Japan is Tottemo E Mahjong Plus. While the old chinese game might not be very popular or even well known in the west it is so in Japan. Arc System Works mixed the game with a Story, sweet characters and nice visuals which makes this also a good choice for all western Gamers who want to try out this difficult but fascinating game.
PlayStation Store Now Available for Japanese PS4's with several demos awaiting them and PS+ content as well.
They always have games that never seem to make it over here, or make it a couple years down the road. Those JRPGs look like fun.
I'm in the UK and there are no demos for me to download. I want demos :(
EDIT: Am I looking in the wrong place?
Not even Trine 2 the complete story?
That was the only demo available at launch in the U.S. Since then there haven't been many others.
No, nothing. I just had another look. There isn't even a Demo option in any menu. Ah well, can't win them all.
You have to actually click on the game and under the buy option there is a demo option.
I know. I keep promising myself to learn Japanese so I can play imports, but I never really devote myself to it. I guess I am going to have to give in. So far I only know Neko des (that's a cat) and Moshi Moshi (what you say when you answer the phone.)
Get a Tutor i have a private tutor that is the best way to learn Japanese. Start learning ur Hiragana Table and Katakana table if you really wanna learn Japanese.
@admiralvic Since you have blocked me from PMing you, I'll say this here.
The store wasn't updated Weds. morning and I know this because I checked it for the Global Update post. A video being around about a Strider Demo does not announce the fact that the PSN is up and new content is available for the PS4.
"The store wasn't updated Weds. morning and I know this because I checked it for the Global Update post."
I don't know what to tell you...
http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4... - Some people were exploring the store on Reddit 6 days ago, with people commenting on getting the Strider demo and Tottemo E Mahjong Plus demo.
http://n4g.com/news/1457696... - The article I used for example was someone playing the Japanese PS4 demo of Strider, which was submitted 5 days ago.
http://ps4daily.com/2014/02... - PS4 Daily made a tutorial 4 days ago showing you how to download the Strider demo (something your article mentions "Demos include FIFA 14, Doki-Doki Universe, Strider") from the PlayStation Store and has various images of the store.
http://gematsu.com/2014/02/... - Gematsu announced that the store was live 2 days ago (Wednesday)
http://segmentnext.com/2014... - Another site from 2 days ago
http://www.vg247.com/2014/0... - VG247 also reported the store went up at least 2 days ago.
So I guess the question is... do you think Me, various people on Reddit, a video submitted to N4G, Gematsu, SegmentNext, VG247, PS4Daily and more are all lying about the store being up or the store was most definitely up for a few days now.
"A video being around about a Strider Demo does not announce the fact that the PSN is up and new content is available for the PS4."
I've given several sources that claim the demos for at least two of the games your article mentions being on the store for days now.
"For those of you with PS+ for the Japanese PSN you’ll be enjoying Resogun and Contrast for free."
Might have helped to mention the free 3 month plus download on the store. That too has been there for days.
And none of that changes the fact that this isn't old news, but new news to a bunch of people.
Maybe international PS4s could get onto the Japanese store -- I wouldn't know -- but here IN Japan, the JAPANESE PS4s could not download PSN content until now, because they were out before the street date and under a sort of corporate lock and key.
Nahhh not a short demo, must be that seakrettt sahhwwwwwce Nintendo is famed for
the hong kong Store is very interesting
you can find the japanese demos in english ( sometimes )
you will find all the games you like with japanese audio/english subtitles included , and that includes western games like Killzone/infamous/heavyrain ... etc
on top of all that tons and tons of dynamic themes for freaking free , themes you can only dream about like Dark Souls dynamic themes
The Dark Souls themes were also free in Japan as well as a number of other ones. You probably just didn't notice / find them because the store is in Japanese.
Sony Computer Entertainment's Try! PlayStation 4 event at the Ginza HQ in Tokyo is still going on, and in the past couple days quite a lot more screenshots of five unreleased games have been shared directly from the demo units.
How many more of these can DualShockers squeeze out? I tell you, gaming journalism gets a lot of flak and at times for the wrong reasons but rinse and repeat pieces like this are deserving of scorn.
Lazy.
Cause all Dualshockers cares about is the hits. Everyday they post something that really has no newsworthy value and the main guy running the site will say whatever he can as to why he posted it.
Why are there so many of the dancing anime girls? I wanna see some more Strider.
The Try! PlayStation 4 event at Sony Computer Entertainment’s main HQ in Ginza, Tokyo isn’t stopping for the weekend and today the publisher “shared” another sizable batch of screenshots directly from the demo units, including many from games that still aren't released in the west.
Yeah for a second there I was freaking out because I thought I'd travelled back in time :-S
Lol yeah, but at least we got new screens. They could have at least added something to the title to differentiate the articles. Oh well.
As for the screens. Octodad looks freaking bizarre. Hope there is a demo for it.
Good Sony!, they are focusing more on videogame development and the PS4 ecosystem. That's a great move, it would boost Sony's momentum for te next years to come.
If that pic has anything to do with the game I can see it becoming much more popular in the west once Sony releases their VR headset.
i want it kinda lol
