PlayStation Vita-exclusive franchise Danganronpa has helped to establish a market for Japanese visual novel games in the West.
That’s according to Takuro Yamashita, CEO and president of NIS America, which is the publisher for the titles in the US and Europe.
"Unleash your imagination, power up your brain, and arm yourself with theories to uncover truths hidden behind lies. The Danganronpa storm strikes again!
This third crossover (Danganronpa V3) between NetEase Games’ first one vs. four asymmetrical mobile game, “Identity V,” and the popular mystery adventure series “Danganronpa” will be released on August 3. A cruel challenge issued by headmaster Monokuma will bring a higher level to the manor. Are you ready?" - NetEase Games.
If you love the Danganronpa series, Good Smile Company has a treat for you coming down the line, a figure portraying Nagito Komaeda.
Good Smile Company's Pop Up Parade Junko Enoshima figure is now available to pre-order. Will you be adding it to your collection?
Danganronpa is pretty cool - but it's nowhere near as good as Steins;Gate.
Great sales in the west for a japanese title like this.
Upupupuuuu!!!
It'll sell another copy when I finally get round to buying a Vita.. the story sounds really cool.
Good on them. Danganronpa was my personal GOTY of 2014 (us Europeans got it late!) and well deserved IMO, gripped me from beginning to end. Great characters and a fabulous storyline.
