Neptune
That's the code name for Compile Heart's new project, which just got a teaser countdown site that will reach 0 on Friday. Famitsu reveals the game's full name to be "Choujigen Game Neptune."
Choujigen Game Neptune is a PS3 RPG that's set in the virtual world of "Game Gyoukai." That's Japanese for "Game Industry." Main character Neptune must stop the evil plot of Goddess Magicon.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the characters in Neptune, including Neptune himself, are game consoles. Also, Sega is partnering with Compile Heart for the sales side of the game.
So, we have Sega selling a game about a console named Neptune fighting the Goddess Magicon. Not only that, but the game will have appearances by Sega characters. The game will also have its own version of well-known game industry entities like Capcom, Gust and Nippon Ichi -- all presumably unofficial, of course.
And here's the best part. Apparently, the consoles can transform into bishojo. What this will be used for is unclear at present.
They also have a countdown.

Although I haven't played SEGAGAGA because of the amount of Japanese text in the game it sounds similar based on the description. And it looks like SEGA is publishing it or something.

Sega is co-developing it.
And yes, Sega characters will be there.

oh woah! that sounds awesome! I hope it IS Segagaga 2 to some degree!
But what is 'bishojo' ?

Bishōjo (美少女?, literally, "beautiful young girl", also spelled bishoujo) is a Japanese term used to refer to young and pretty girls, usually below university age. Bishōjo is not listed as a word in the prominent Japanese dictionary Kōjien. A variant named biyōjo (美幼女?) refers to a girl before the age of adolescence.

Yeah, like that.
-
Would have been much better if the console were transformed into mech a la Virtual-on, but i think that this was already present in some form in SEGAGAGA...
anyway the project seems juicy 8-)
-
Only issue is that Segagagaga is awesome by concept but a horrible game overall. Not looking forward to it, especially considering it will not come here and is exclusive to PlayStation 3.
But what is 'bishojo' ?
"With Banjo-Kazooie" ;)

Ba-dum-dum pshhhh.

Well sometimes the concepts alone make a game good enough for it's target market.
I don't consider God of War a very good game. It's a pretty bland adventure game from a gameplay standpoint I think.. But still, the concept of murdering the Olympus and doing some epic shit is awesome and sells the game.

Holy shit, this looks like it will be great.
Importing! :afroman:
-
I am so importing this.
Hopefully it will have English text as an option or something.. Is that usual? I'm not familiar with Japanese games..
-
Probably won't have english text. I expect it to be as confusing as Segagaga. :P
-
Neptune is also the main character of the game and she is an original console by Sega!
The girls have fought on the past, but Neptune has lost her memories after an accident and now all the 4 girls have to join forces to beat Majicon.
... as seem on the real world, Sega lost the battle and now works together with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft against the piracy. LOL!
I'm a bit surprised, since this is the first time I have seen Sega working with the major shitty games developer of Japan, IDEA FACTORY ever. Compile Heart is a company of IF. Interesting, these companies(Gust, IF, Compile and NIS) are basically always working together.
Capcom and now Sega are the only major companies working with them till now.
I'm buying it ;p
-
I bet everyone will start talking about a new Sega console after this.
Farfetching the idea a bit..
-
This game is very much a 'wait and see' for me... I'm really hoping it turns out good because I really like this wacky concept (like that of Segagaga) but at the same time... I dunno... could be very generic JRPG fodder.

I am not sure how anyone can be excited for this game. Segagaga was a "Cute" game, but it could not be any further from fun if it tried. Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Nipple Itchy are some of the worst game developers of all time. I am actually greatly offended that SEGA even considered publishing their horseshit. Even more offended that characters like Sonic will most likely be in here. If you are interested in the game, just wait and watch the cutscenes and music on YouTube a week after the game is out instead of torturing yourself to the digital form of diarrhea.
[spoiler:2cjennzb]The Xbox 360 sure has a nice rack though.[/spoiler:2cjennzb]

While they might be some of the worst developers (if you say so, i never payed much attention) I think Sega must have seen SOMETHING in this game to get involved and let them use their characters.
Even bad developers can have rare gems and I really like the concept.

So where were you when Golden Axe: Beast Rider was in the works?

Im talking Sega Japan, not Simon Jefferys run Sega America!

Difference is that by that time Secret Level only made one real game and these people made like 20 terrible ones and like 3 okay at best ones.

What is the status of the SEGAGAGA english translation project? Policenauts finally got translated, it would be nice to see SEGAGAGA finally finished as well.
-
Last I heard, the project was paused, but not canceled. I really don't know nothing else..

Some scans.
You can find some Sega characters on it, as well the famous phrase that Sega has used sometime near the DC announcement. The only change is that you have "Neptune" instead "Sega".
It confirms that the main character is really a "virtual" console made by Sega... at least they want you to believe that.
Too bad that Sega characters are just a special attack, and they are on their original form... 2D.

Well, looks like that Neptune's chances of being localized for the U.S. has increaded by 60% (+ or - 2%). Of course, as expected, Sega isn't the one to share console-tan love with us. You won't be surprised who is, though:
Neptune was not at E3 since it has not been announced for any region other than Japan. But, I’d hold off on importing the PlayStation 3 game. Chances are good that Neptune will be localized. During an interview with Haru Akenaga, President of NIS America, I asked him about Neptune.
“All I can say now is Idea Factory asked us to localize the game for the US and Europe. We are eager to do that. We are in discussion about the conditions for licensing the title,” Akenaga replied. “The deal is almost done.”
Check back later for the full interview, which covers topics like Hit Maker titles, Sakura Wars, Gust, and bunch of other games.

Twisted Metal already finally pushed me to get a PS3, but Neptune solidifies it.
Noir/Black Hear, here I come, baby. I'm comin' to get ya!

While idea factory might be pretty poor in general, this team within compile heart arent too bad, I had more fun with the incredibly low budget Cross Edge than I did with FF13. Not 10/10 best game ever material but certainly a fun little game, so I'm looking forward to this
