Wow, that would kind of suck if we got half of the story....sure, we know about another persons perspective, but it'll seem like it was just a regular, one-sided story if we don't get Cyber Sleuth. Although, maybe that would piss people off for not translating the game the first time.

Double-packs, FTW.

Yeah this better come to the West wouldn't make sense to not have this, Bandai should already know Digimon is popular in the West.
The first Cyber sold pretty well even on Vita so it should be a given

 

[The Catboy]

I need everything to do with this!

I'm convinced namco owns licenses to like every anime game ever Except pokemon and Yu-gi-oh!! Namco might as well just go full anime company, maybe also hire Aksys games and partner up with some other publishers like Xseed, Pqube, And stuff.

But we DID get cyber sleuth. It's a pretty good game too.

Yeah, I think I was thinking of the Re:-series.

Surprised it's coming to the Vita in the West too. Well, I guess this makes my choice to purchase a PS4 the right one - I loved Cyber Sluts

 

[Skelletonike]

Hopefully it'll be a physical release. As much as I loved Cyber Sleuth, with over 140h on it (in one playthrough), it was a downer having to buy it digital. If this gets a physical release here with both games, it'd save me the trouble of importing the asian english physical copy of the game.

I bet they won't release it for Vita. The other Digimon game got cancelled too.

This news inspired me to introduce my fiancé to Digimon. This is about how it went:

Her: So it's bootleg Pokémon?
Me: Well no... I mean they came out at like the same time.
Her: But they are both monsters that are owned by people and evolve and you fight with them?
Me: Well I mean yeah... But in Digimon they are digital. And they can evolve and then devolve as well!
Her: So it's bootleg Pokémon?
Me: ... yeah.
