Welcome to the Japanese niche games deals and discussion thread!  Feel free to talk about local and import Japanese games here.  Our goal is to maintain a thread dedicated to active deals on niche games including RPGs, Visual Novels (VN), Shoot'em ups (Shmups), Musou, etc.  Also maintained are pre-orders for standard, limited and collector's edition games with key release dates provided.

I've wikified the thread to make it more friendly and open to others that can actively update with important information. You can find the wiki post directly below this one.

NOTE:  Please, leave the censorship discussion away from this thread.  It's common for japanese games to have questionable content outside of the country.  We want to keep discussions to the game itself and not about cultural/societal tolerance.

A message from Thorbahn:

Our CAG Japanese Niche Games Thread also has a community on PS4, where you can interact and game with other members of the thread.

Our moderators are: Draekon, Las_Hole, and Waffleswanton

You can basically friend any of our members, or any moderator, and you will be able to request to join the community under "Communities friends are in" tab, and a mod will approve your request.

You can also leave your PSN ID in the thread, saying you want to join, and we can invite you directly as well.

As always, have fun and enjoy your stay!

The one that probably takes the cake (or "case", HUR HUR HUR): spent a lot of money on this, because I found it fascinating that someone enjoyed FF7 so much about ~30 years ago that they that they decided to save a box for it from some soda they bought.

That’s actually pretty cool. Was not aware that ever existed. I still have Nintendo cereal boxes, people pay good money for that kind of stuff, and they are fun collectibles. My cereal boxes aren’t for sale, but if you like Star Wars I have a few KFC episode 1 chicken buckets, the grease is long gone by now.

I never actually bought any gaming related food growing up nor when I started collecting, outside of one occasion- got a kids meal from Burger King from when they did some Pokemon promo. And even if I did, I wouldn't have kept any of the packaging.

It's sad, now when I randomly do get some menial thing from the past, I save it- like this bag from Electronics Boutique that some eBay seller used to wrap a some NES game I bought from them.

$20 is usually the bottom out price for most S-E games so I say it's a buy if you don't have it and want it. I got it at whatever the $30ish price drop was like a chump!

$20 is a great price for a physical copy.. but I know I'll never play it on PS5. I'll just wait till it reaches 50-60% off on GMG and grab a steam copy so that I can play it on the steamdeck. I think it's a game I'd rather play on a handheld.
 
I got one of the regular marketing emails from NISA and checked the Trails Beyond the Horizon CE page, and noticed it's already down to 50% on PS5/25% on NS.

I think this was announced fairly recently and while I know the series is probably their most or one of their most popular games, I was a little surprised it's already down this low given the game's still a while away and their CEs have been getting shittier and not selling out as quickly these days. But just an FYI, for anyone now wanting to gamble.

For me, it's an easy decision--if it's a Legend of Heroes LE with steelbook included, I preorder. I have them all so far, so I can't skip this one.

It was previously at 25%; they actually bumped it back up to 50% a few days ago.

I keep checking for a restock on the previous one.

I've seen this with them before on some other CEs, anyways wondered if I was just crazy. Guess not.

Don't worry about it. If you were going crazy me and the other voices would be sure to tell you.

Ce wise the only ce I was ever tempted to get from them was Ys 9. That one looked swag.
