Japanese video game English localisation news - 10

Featuring:

  • Grandia II
  • Dungeon Travelers 2
  • Mighty No 9
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night


Grandia II is coming to PC / Steam!

Grandia was great. It had a real feeling of grand epic adventure, and a good battle system. Never played the 2nd one, though I have it on Dreamcast... (I didn't play the other later ones either...)

Dungeon Travelers 2

...which apparently used to be "To Heart 2 : Dungeon Travelers 2", which is a lot of "2"s... is getting a release from Atlus, and... the game is known to be a bit censored for its upcoming Western releases, but the launch edition comes with a bonus suggestive calendar?!

I don't think any other "To Heart" game has been released in English. That franchise has been around for a very long while now!

Not really news on a localisation, but apparently there's a release date for Mighty No 9 now: 18th September.

And in the same boat, the #Igavania Kickstarter Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been going mad:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night

Almost $1 million raised in about 8 hours.

Estimated date: March 2017 (but with all these stretch goals I guess it might take longer!)

Thought I might as well mention it in this thread just because it's a very big thing that's been happening today.
