Fall 2018 was when RPG fans were due to get their hands on Super Neptunia RPG, a sidescrolling turn-based game featuring the quirky cast of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. Unfortunately, the game was delayed at the last second, pushing it back to a tenuous "spring 2019" window. Now, we're facing the same situation once more, as Super Neptunia RPG's launch date has been changed to summer 2019, meaning a delay of almost a full year for the localization alone. To make up for that, Idea Factory International has announced that the game will be coming to Steam at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions. An exact reason for the delay was not disclosed, but the company did mention that the game will be modified in the west, but only on the PS4. Two CG scenes from the Japanese version have been "slightly censored" to comply with Sony's rules, though this will be the only change from the original release. Those playing on Nintendo Switch and PC will be unaffected by this.

Story
The self-proclaimed hero, Neptune, awakes in a familiar world, but has no recollection of anything other than her name. With the help of a mysterious girl named Chrome, as well as three other familiar faces beloved in the Neptunia™ series, Neptune embarks on a journey through the mysterious dimension to try to regain her memory.

Little do they know, the world they inhabit is under attack by an enemy who wants to take civilization back to the time where 2D reigns supreme.

Can Neptune and her friends save the world and 3D games as we know it, or will they be flattened into two dimensions forever?

Yup, I'm absolutely ass blasted, and cannot control my rage right now!

Edited my post. Does that help it make more sense to you, and help you to not be so confused about your actual feelings? Yes? Great!!! Now we can move along.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

I am glad that I got a Switch instead of a PS4 then.

 

[Deleted User]

Just go Switch and PC exclusive, problem solved.

 

[osaka35]

"minor" edits? reminds me of all the fan-retranslated snes/psx games i have to go back and replay. so many of them.

but I'll be playing this one on pc first. switch if it goes on sale. no reason to get it on ps4 it would seem.

 

[MasterJ360]

That awkward moment when Nintendo is more lax than Sony about content in games.

They traded places it's like the ps4 is the new WiiU in terms of censorship.

 

[DANTENDO]

Was this released on the super nintendo

 

[Bladexdsl]

oh noz another weeb game where they censor the little girls and they have too many clothes on. all the weebs take up arms now.

 

[KingVamp]

Tbh it's worth Sony "slightly censoring 2 CGs" so I can sit back and see how salty nerds get over something so pointless.

Sony has gone full retard in recent years but people really need to pick their battles sometimes. Or not, it's a lot funnier if you don't I suppose.

Doesn't seem to be so pointless to all people spamming "weeb" in this thread.

 

[Arras]

Neat, but when's a new main series game? Feels like VII was forever ago.

Nope it's a spinoff

Nope it's a spinoff

I know, that's why I said when. I liked VII but most of the spinoffs are not great.

 

[ImLEBrAn]

Isnt the majority of the censorship due to characters being despicted as minors? Anyway, have fun watching your weeb porn in games, probably one of the resorts of nintendo to keep the switch relevant.

Computers don't have ages.

 

[Subtle Demise]

Computers don't have ages.

I'll go even further. Fictional characters don't have ages until their creator(s) gives them one. I think people are just mad because someone said something negative about Sony, who are apparently gods these days amd are above criticism.

Go away with your logic.

[SkittleDash]

Okay, sure. You can delay it... BUT WHY THE SWITCH VERSION TOO!? DX

 

[Eleczoro]

What are you compensating for?

How do you know they're 14 years old? Their age has never been stated. Nice headcanon.

 

[linuxares]

So PC and/or Switch version then? Check!

Actually they have. In the Anime.

Only 3 people so far are underage. It's the Twins and Uni. The rest are over 18. Because they needed to enter R18 island (the entrance scene is hilarious btw)
