All hobbies have snobbery, I even used to be a snob, but I've had more fun being an enthusiast, which is something I think we should all strive to be in our respective hobbies. twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/superderekrpgs/ discord: https://discord.me/superderek ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5o_Rii8nzk

RPG News from last week! The JRPG Weekly Update, July 9 2018. No real news discussions for this week, but plenty of announcements! This week we were a pretty light on news, but thanks to Anime Expo this week there have been plenty of game and release date announcements to keep us moving. First, the recently announced Shenmue 1 and 2 remasters have been given a release date! August 21st this year, which is less than 2 months away! The games are coming to PC, Xbox One, and of course PlayStation 4. Square Enix have confirmed that they have begun work on a new action RPG. The title is currently being developed for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch by Division 8, which is the division behind the Secret of Mana remake. Little else is known about this project at the time. These next few come courtesy of Jonathan Mejia on Twitter and the SuperDerek Discord server. If you have news you would like to submit, send me a tweet to @SuperDerekRPGs on twitter with the hashtag SuperDerekNews and I'll give you the credit! NIS America have announced the latest RPG Maker will be heading to the United States. RPG Maker MV is coming to PS4, XB1 and Switch, and is expected to launch in 2019. And in case you were wondering, no those are not Roman Numerals in the title, but if they were the number would be 1005. NISA have also announced that Princess Guide will be coming to the west. The project was formerly known as Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story, so shortening the name is appreciated, even if it made looking up information about the game a little more difficult due to it also being the name of a Simpsons episode. (Simpsons Did It!) The game is apparently an action RPG being done by the same team as Disgaea, which bodes well! The creator of Zero Escape has a new project on the way to the West called AI: The Somnium Files. The game is a murder-mystery adventure that will be coming to PS4, Switch, and PC, no date has been announced. Rounding off the NIS America announcements, NISA announced a port of FuRyu's Caligula Effect will be coming to PS4 and Switch. for vita was often compared to Persona taking place in a digital world. The game is expected to arrive on consoles in early 2019. FuRyu have also announced a roguelike RPG, Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: Steam Dungeon will be coming to the PS4 in Japan. So far it looks like this will be another fan-service oriented roguelike similar to Omega Labyrinth. No announcement has been made for the game being localized, but if PQube picks this one up, let's hope they are able to change any teenagers ages to 18 to avoid any possible snafus again. Idea Factory's Death end re;Quest is coming to the West for early 2019. The game is by the same company as the Neptunia series. The game appears to be coming exclusively for the PS4. The plot of the game sounds similar to dot Hack and Sword Art Online with the whole being trapped in an MMO sort of setting, but apparently has the unique option to change the MMO's genre during battle, such as First-person shooter or fighting game and so on. I'm hoping that the game isn't so fan-service heavy as it looks like it might be. But I hope even more that the game is actually fun, because the concept is pretty cool regardless. Publisher PQube has announced that AGATE's Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story will be coming to the west on Switch, PS4, and Steam in 2018. The game appears to be an action RPG where you play as the principal of a school catering to aspiring heroes. As you build the school you will improve classes and thereby improving your students ability to be heroes. The game is announced as coming soon to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC in 2018. Developer, Inti Creates has announced Dragon: Marked for Death for Nintendo Switch. This will be a port of the 3DS side-scrolling action RPG title. The game will be coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch, in winter 2018. That does it for new game and localization announcements but there are games coming out this week to keep your eye out for. First, Shining Resonance Refrain is coming to all current major platforms on July 10th. After that, Star Story: Horizon Escape, a Sci-Fi adventure turn-based RPG will coming to Switch on July 12 And finally the long awaited Octopath Traveller for Nintendo Switch comes out on July 13th. Go grab it, the Demo was a ton of fun, here's a link to my impressions of the game, it's great! That does it for RPGs news for this week, but again if you have news, especially community news like fan translation projects or anything of the sort that most major news sites won't talk about, please drop me a line @SuperDerekRPGs on twitter with the hashtag #SuperDerekNews! Music has been provided courtesy of Earmake and The Abyss, but if you have tracks youd like to have featured you can also send them to me on twitter because I'm always excited to feature new artists!

Dragon Quest XI was recently released for PS4 and PC in the US, and after playing 50 hours, I can finally give you my impressions of the game and let you know whether or not I think it's worth your time. I haven't yet finished the game, so these thoughts are tentative, and a full review will be coming in the future. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puhdd_sg4xk
