Honestly I loved 4GO in all its glitchy glory. I never tried the Canuck RPG but I heard it wasn't bad.

For reference, the original Victory create-a-Processor system let you make stuff like pic related (NSFW notice).
I don't know if Compile Heart themselves are disavowing content like this (it certainly seems like they are with how tame even their promotional art is now) or if Sony and Nintendo are more actively policing UGC outside of their own games, but I can only see the more limited creative options as a likely attempt to prevent people from making stuff like this again.

So they're giving us the old outfits after all... except not really. If you take a look, some of them have been subtly altered like Neptune losing her sleeves. But Blanc is the most obvious, her iconic coat is absent, replaced with a jacket that seems to be meant to call back to her Ultradimension outfit. The highlights on her outfit are now black instead of brown, and her skirt seems to have been lengthened.
Vert also got changed, her flowing dress has been changed for a stiff skirt/skort and she no longer has the frilly highlights like the bows.
Basically, imagine if Compile Heart took the old outfits and sucked the soul out of them. It reminds me eerily of how the Xenoblade 2 outfits were changed when they were ported as optional costumes in Xenoblade 3. 
Another finger curled on the monkey's paw.

Why do they hate the fluffy coat? I don't get it. It's so fluffy and cute.

Come on, you guys, obviously because it's summer! Nepus are feeling hot, so they're shedding some clothing. Don't worry, the real original outfits will be available for only 99,99$. What a steal!

You jest, but Gal*Gun Double Peace actually does sell a ~$100 DLC item.

It's obviously a joke though (it's just a piece of equipment that let you make the girls' clothes extra transparent so you could easily see their panties), and the rest of the game's DLC was more appropriately priced.

posted this in the other thread, but wanted to talk more about it here.
one of the reasons i was procrastinating so hard on neptunia was just that i only had 1 and 2 digitally, and only having games digitally never sits right with me.
for some reason, i was under the impression these games were difficult to get physically; i don't know where i got that idea from, if anything, everything i have here was far cheaper than i was expecting...
in addition to the main games, i also got action u (i feel like the vita's kind of perfect for simple hack-and-slash games, and i remember being told that this one's basically "senran but with neps") and sega hard girls (this one feels like mandatory viewing as a maybe former huge sega fan). i really do not care about the other spinoffs, though.

>An update on PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita
https://archive.ph/qakR1
<After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future. 
<As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows:
- Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.
- Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.
- In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.

I'd hate to see all those risque and off-the-wall otaku games get flushed down the drain, they were the last of an era.

>Do you guys have a version of hShop with equivalent functionality?
PKGj and NPS

>>10569
NoPayStation is different from hShop in that it's not a server that hosts actual content and it's basically just a database of direct download links for official PSN servers along with decryption keys. Also it doesn't have everything, only hShop gets that privilege due to Nintoddler autism.
If we can trust "players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future", NPS should be functional for the near future as well, but no new content will be added to it after the official store "shuts down".
The priority for the "preservation community" should be buying (digital-only) content and contributing it to NPS. But talk is cheap, and I myself won't be doing that because I don't have a job and all.

No, to this day it's a Japan-only PS4 exclusive. Since Eastasiasoft ported the rest of the series to Switch in English, there was some hope they would do it eventually, but with Nintendo now enforcing the same anti-anime fanservice policies as everyone else, hopes for it have dwindled.

Speaking of Switch:
https://www.gematsu.com/2026/07/switch-switch-lite-and-switch-oled-model-to-be-discontinued-in-europe-in-mid-february-2027

I wasn't expecting Nintendo to discontinue the Switch 1 line this early, especially when their response to people calling the Switch 2 too expensive early on was "just get a Switch". My launch model Switch has accumulated a lot of dirt and dust in the intake vent over the years of use which has me concerned about its longevity, and the shit is caked in there too hard for compressed air to blow out. It would have to be taken apart, and I don't really trust Nintendo with it. I heard when sent launch-model Switches they sneakily switch (heh) them out for later models because the early models are easy to jailbreak. So I was planning to buy an OLED second-hand and sell my old Switch, but now the second-hand Switches might start going up in price. Fuck.

>Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED Model units will be discontinued in Europe starting in mid-February 2027, Nintendo announced in a FAQ about upcoming battery-related revisions.

Oh, I noticed this is actually being reported on quite poorly.
Notice how this is only happening in Europe.
The EU recently passed laws requiring that all electronics must have user-replaceable batteries. They're also having to sell slightly redesigned Switch 2s and Switch 2 peripherals to accommodate for this.
My guess is that they're discontinuing the Switch 1 there because they thought it wouldn't be worth it to redesign it (again) just to accommodate this, and continuing to sell its current models would be illegal there (though, on this note, I could've sworn the battery in the original model was easy to replace. I've never tried it myself, though, so I could be mistaken).
It seems like this will only be the case in Europe for now, and specifically only for legal reasons. I doubt they'll outright discontinue the Switch 1 everywhere this soon. They're still releasing games for it.

>Notice how this is only happening in Europe.
Where does it say that? I know it is most likely because of the EU battery laws, yes, but I figured Nintendo just took the opportunity to kill the whole line entirely instead of make separate revisions since the Switch 1 has already been "replaced" anyway (even though it really hasn't, the Switch 2 is way more expensive and the backwards compatibility is imperfect as shown with Neptunia Re;Birth 3 basically not working on Switch 2).

>>10605
A lot of publications aren't phrasing any of their reporting particularly well, so every article I can find reads like the entire line is getting discontinued, but a couple of them specify "Nintendo of Europe", and you can find comments elaborating that being the case.
Even the link you posted, there, says "discontinued in Europe".
I'm hoping more articles come out, or maybe an official statement from Nintendo themselves, just for the sake of clarifying.

There's an item which lets you raise your level limit from the base 99 (worth it as enemies in the final dungeons go well past 100), and I just found out that if you hit the current cap, any EXP you get is banked so that when you raise the cap, it all applies at once. A nice little bit of QOL there since I'm an autist who hates "wasted" EXP and I feel this isn't addressed often enough in JRPGs.

>>9924 (OP) 
So now that I'm finally done with Tokyo Clanpool here, where to begin? Between the large maps, movement app gimmicks, the pseudo-Persona system (Gadgettia) and class change system, I think this game tried to be a culmination of Compile Heart's DRPG efforts on the Vita, and while I still feel it did serviceably, I ultimately came away somewhat disappointed compared to my initial impressions.
Let's start with the gameplay itself. There are seven dungeons of about 6-10 floors each, plus a postgame dungeon with 10 floors. All in all, this totals up to about 66 floors worth of dungeon crawling. So the game is a bit on the short side. Encounter rates are on the high side throughout the dungeon, with your only respite being an app which lasts only 50 steps per use and costs a minimum of 6% battery power. Speaking of, part of the game is about managing your DigiApp battery power since all your apps including your movement options rely on it. There are designated points throughout the dungeons which recharge your battery power by 100%, and it can store up to 999%, but there are also consumable items which recharge it by 50 and 100%. All in all, I never at any point felt like I was in any danger of running out of battery power. The movement options themselves are tunneling through walls, floating in the air, and going underwater. The first is the best used as you need it to advance and create sho

Moving to the non-gameplay elements, I think probably the biggest disappointment from this game for me was the lack of characterization for ANYONE. Despite the smaller cast, barely anyone is given any time to be fleshed out. There is only one side event per character and two fanservice events which give you the idol and bath CGs and that's it. As a result, the characters never really get the opportunity to feel like more than mere set pieces. For example, Natsume's profile lists her as being a giant fangirl for Chim the Garden Eel and her character event is about hugging a body pillow of him and then dreaming him, but then that's it. Chim is LITERALLY NEVER brought up again. Who even is he and why is he so popular? Why is Natsume such a fangirl for him? Questions that go completely unanswered. Another example; Hotaru's side event reveals that her parents are famous wrestlers and part of her reasons for being so withdrawn, insecure and lacking in confidence is that she's a pipsqueak who can't live up to her family's legacy despite really wanting to. And that's the entire extent to which this part of her is explored. Fuck, I wanted to see Luchador Hotaru or fucking something. Have an arc where she grows into the role in her own way and then have her do the Tombstone on the final boss or something. But no, we get nothing

As for zombies, they're just a template enemy filling in for an antagonist gap. They could have been anything, zombies are just a hip new (old) trend.

Eastasiasoft just announced they're opening their own online storefront as well as an American publishing branch. They may start selling these games through their American branch to make them easier to purchase since they don't have to go through PlayAsia. Additionally, they're teasing the idea of selling physical PC games, which may be how they intend to distribute an uncensored version of Tokyo Clanpool since that game got screwed over by both Steam and GOG. At the least, they'll probably host the uncensor patch they've been holding onto through this storefront.

Nintendo is pushing significantly different publishing standards for Japanese/Asian SKUs and global SKUs. The Neptunia Re;Birth games were cleared for a Japanese/Asian release but not for a release in the west. This game, Brave X Junction (second pic related), was also similarly release in the Japanese eshop but denied a western release with the reasoning laid out by the publisher as a semi-joke comic. This game released globally without issues on both Steam and Playstation (it's rated 7+ in Europe); only Nintendo is this restrictive with this reasoning. They've gone as far as to

Now they're releasing Hyperdevotion Noire. Worth noting that this one wasn't "officially" and directly blocked from a western release like the Re;Births were. Idea Factory International likely just saw how the Re;Births and Neptunia Riders fared and decided it wasn't worth trying. Which brings the question of just how many games there are like this, that weren't ACTUALLY blocked, but the publisher saw how hopeless the situation was and decided not to bother. Like the recent Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu Double Pack released last month which has yet to show any sign of being picked up for a western release despite the main Chaos;Head games being on Switch.

Turns out the speculation about them starting their own store to sell PC physicals was true. Tokyo Clanpool is now being distributed through a special edition USB stick, completely uncensored, in a collector's box limited to 1000 copies.
Lo behold, the extent one must go to release a Vita game in 2020+6.

https://shop.eastasiasoft.com/products/tokyo-clanpool-limited-edition-pc?variant=47988618330352

If you already bought the GOG version, they now offer an uncensor patch for that on their site as well.

https://www.eastasiasoft.com/tc/TokyoClanpool_PC_Patch.zip

I must say, though this took long enough to come to fruition, I respect Joshua French and Eastasiasoft's dedication here. It would've been easy to just leave this at the GOG patch, but they went the extra mile. And maybe, just maybe, this may be the way forward since every digital storefront is so up their own fucking asses now.
