The PlayStation 4 will "win" the next generation thanks to Japanese games
Sony pulled no punches with its Japan show. It's not just the the announcement of a new Vita model, nor was it the announcement of the Vita TV. Sony unveiled a load of Japanese-developed games for the PS4 (much of which is exclusive), and it's that software support that could well see the PS4 dominate the next generation.Games that were demonstrated included the strategy JRPG Natural Doctrine for Kadokawa Games, a new Yakuza game, and Goichi Suda's next work, which stars a woman and if it's anything like his last big-budget game with a female lead (Lollipop Chainsaw) it should be truly breathtaking.
Vita TV; a painting of the future of console gaming
It's been a big day of announcements for Sony. Of all the announcements of new games and new Vita hardware, was the most exciting announcement of all: The Vita TV.Friday 10s: Ten Japanese games that sadly never got localised
Everyone likes a top-10 list. They're a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so each week we pull together a "top 10" list. These are here for fun and laughs - we're not pretending that we're the authority of good games taste in the world and this is purely the author's preferences. Agree with him/ her or not, it's all good. We'd love to hear your own personal preferences in the comments below the list. But please do be civil. We're all friends here.This week Digitally Downloaded editor-in-chief, Matt, goes through his collection to look at some classic games that he has imported from Japan, absolutely loved, and wishes that the rest of the western world also got to play. Whether deemed "too otaku," "too niche" or some other excuse these are games that are essential for fans of Japanese games who can speak Japanese.
Without further ado, the list! Be sure to let us know what you think of the list below in the comments, and of course if there are any Japan-only games that you've imported and absolutely love, be sure to let us know what those are as well!
