What Japanese games could get localized in 2016

Michibiku's Graham Russell writes, "These days, it’s pretty great to be a fan of Japanese games. After all, localizations of niche titles are often announced even before they’re even released in Japan! But we still don’t get everything. Here are ten games we could see Stateside in 2016, as well as assessments of their chances."

The only one that remotely matters here is DQB but i would like and can count on Rhythm Heaven getting localized.

There's so much quality Japanese games not on PS4. Shuhei Yoshida do something!

Kalebninja3032d ago

Nah you mean Monster Hunter X Ultimate.

vanity293032d ago

Knowing xseeds tendencies, luminous arc is very possible.

ZaWarudo3032d ago

I would love Valkyrie Drive and Grand Kingdom in the west. Luminous Arc also looks pretty fun.

They should have brought 2 since it is a much more complete experience

Feels strange to release now after Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been available for so many years. It was good for its time, but DQ Builders 2 improved on it in so many ways. I'd have a harder time going back to the first one now.

TGG_overlord85d ago

You are correct...So I don't know the thought proecess behind this move...Besides an easy money grab.

OtterX85d ago

I do hope they make a 3rd in the series, so I'll support this easy money grab. I really enjoyed DQ Builders 2 especially. :)

I'd like to see them bring in more advanced building concepts, like Minecraft's redstone machines. I much prefer playing w non-blocky characters, w this Dragon Quest feel.

ZeekQuattro84d ago

Odd choice. The sequel is better and more realized in every way.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69560d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood560d ago (Edited 560d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic559d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover560d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus560d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface560d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap560d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85560d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC560d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC560d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus560d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima560d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP560d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC560d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan560d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
