I’m Still Not Clear On How This ‘Niche’ Game Will Not Be For Everyone

Game developer Compile Heart unveiled the first game for their Galapagos RPG brand. Titled, fairy fencer f, the game is labelled as a fantasy RPG for the PlayStation 3 and will utilise the talents of concept artist Yoshitaka Amano, composer Nobuo Uematsu and the Earthbound Papas, and the Hyperdimension Neptunia team.


A Visual History Of Attractive Video Game Characters: The ’10s

This year at the Tokyo Game Show, Kotaku had the pleasure of sitting down with Mizuno Naoko, the creator of Hyperdimension Neptunia (and both of its sequels), to talk about the past, present, and future of the series.

This Year’s Most Bizarre Gaming Cameo

Hyperdimension Neptunia, a game that should have been more exciting, is getting a sequel. With very young girls. And Keiji Inafune.


The Voice Actress Capturing The Hearts Of Otaku Everywhere

In Japan, voice actresses have a niche fan base. There are magazines and websites dedicated to them, and popular voice actresses might parlay that into music singles or photobooks. Aya Hirano, the voice of Haruhi Suzumiya, was able to make the leap from anime and games to mainstream celebrity, appearing on television and even as the spokesperson for Denny’s in Japan.
