Title: Neptune RPG gets a western release (but not from SEGA)
Post by: TimmiT on October 29, 2010, 05:04:20 am

NIS America is bringing the game as Hyperdimension Neptunia to the US and will be released in Spring 2011: http://www.destructoid.com/nisa-bringin ... n-neptunia (http://www.destructoid.com/nisa-bringing-neptune-rpg-as-hyperdimension-neptunia)

I'm really happy to see that it's coming out in the west. Also, not surprised at all that NIS America's putting it out instead of SEGA.  Especially after they put out Sakura Wars.

SEGA didn't even publish this game in Japan far as I know. I thought they just helped distributed it and had references in it.

Odd, maybe SEGA dropped out. Wikipedia is better than GameFAQ tbh. Have you seen their forums? Enough said.

Who cares. This game is brutally awesome and I'm happy it's coming to here.

Gamefaqs is not managed by its community, as far as I know.
