Dengeki Bunko Fighting cllmax crossover game?

You know to be honest when it said sega hard girls, i was expecting Sega video game female characters, Instead of people named after and wearing sega console hardware themed clothes.

It looks like a fun JRPG that i honestly never considered this neptune franchise a chance of liking, but now i dunno what else to say. Where is sega promotion for sega characters? Besides Sonic sega all star racing transformed, and Project cross x (1 and 2) and Dengeki bunko Fighting climax, there not enough sega themed characters or refrences to go around and closing out Sonic 25 anniversay with only sonic game being "Sonic boom fire and ice" A already poorly recived game (I know the wii u sonic boom is different than 3ds but still the name alone carries weight) And no actual title announced this year but for next year, Sega is really pushing limits here. I dunno what to say, I just wish They least showed they cared a little more about their legacy games, Alex kidd HD collection? Sonic Genesis HD remaster collection? Streets of rage HD collection or even better Streets of rage FOUR. Kid chameleon? New shining force? (Maybe toejam and earl?) WONDERBOY SERIES? HANG ON? OUT RUN? SPACE HARRIER? CRAZY TAXI.

Sega used to make fun sports games, and arcade games. Lately is been kinda in the same position as konami and between the two, Sega is a bit better off with support from nintendo, and the other two, while konami is just losing many supporters.

Sega just been resorting to mobile games and comic books as well as other stuff i'm not aware..... i mean Hatsune miku and neptunia, the atlus, as well as some licensing characters to other companies.

I Wonder what hard hitting surprise will hit next?

@Chary What are your thouhts? (About the game or sega's decisions on things lately... or even what i said.)

 

[Pluupy]

It always surprises me how much Japanese love their teenage animu girls.

I got to see IFI demo the game at E3, and even disregarding the fact that I'm a fan of the series, it looked like a very fun game. Of course, SEGA has been making some bad decisions lately, (Okay, even for over a decade now as well) and I'm not sure if it's because bad management, or the fact that they're bleeding money.

SEGA has some fantastic IPs, and they sell very well on PC, so there's an obvious market for them, therefore it makes no sense for them to just let series like Skies of Arcadia, Shining Force (Fire Emblem is selling well these days so...) Outrun/Daytona (Xbox and PC users love racing games), Streets of Rage (Beloved classic series), etc rot in a corner while SEGA tosses out Miku and Sonic games like it's no tomorrow. (Even though Hatsune Miku is great...do we really need 2 games in a year?)

In legit so happy right now. I've imported this game from Japan and couldn't enjoy it fully due to well... You know.... I can't wait to play this in English! My hype is insane. I might buy a Nep figurine to celebrate. (Too add to my Nep Nep collection)

I also saw the sega hard girls anime (it's not really style anime as it was made in MMD) pretty good. Sonic had a cameo. So I'm also quite familiar with all the characters.

As for two games in a year technically they usually do this when the make a new mainstream console game they port the arcade version for Japan only.

Very nice! This is the main reason I got a PS TV. I love the Neptunia series and Sega Hard Girls, so why wouldn't they both go well together?
My only issue is the voices of the Sega Hard Girls. From my limited knowledge of anime, I don't think that there is a dubbed version, so what are they going to do with the English voices?
I'm used to the English voices of the Neptunia characters, but the Japanese voices of the Sega Hard Girls. What am I to do?

Girls can't get hard... it's a fact.

Gumshoos man. I can't decide if I should name him gumshoe (ace attorney) or trump

 

[Tex_McBladeSword]

Im a SeHa fan but not really a Neptune fan...

 

[Luckkill4u]

So I'm defiantly not interested in games like these so I'm kind of clueless on some of the terms..

What is a 'Hard Girl/s'? Is it a bad Japanese translation or something?

 

[Tex_McBladeSword]

No, it's a group of Personified Sega consoles usually used for merch and whatnot. they had an anime back in the day as well.

The only video game appearance that I recall before now is SeHa Dreamcast in Dengeki Bunko.

It means Sega Hardware Girls

 

[Luckkill4u]

It means Sega Hardware Girls

Ohhh that makes so much sense now lol

 

[Lightyose]

*drools*

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

I now have a reason to buy a PS TV.

 

[RikuKawai]
