A completed set of ef ~ A Fairy Tale of the Two is coming out for PC from JAST and MangaGamer, the folks who release visual novels for the west. The fact that the material is uncensored and uncut means the game is NSFW, but the cover is perfectly fine (and quite nice as well). Funny.. I have never seen the ESRB actually rate an eroge visual novel before. The only two visual novels I've seen the ESRB rate is Steins;Gate (not eroge but mature) with M and If My Heart Had Wings (All Ages version) with T for Teen.

This is a limited release and will be out on Christmas Eve.
The visual novel will be compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 & 8.
The retail price is $59.98 and is available to order on United Publications (~£38.13 for USA Site).

idea factory will be releasing the Limited Edition sets for the latest Neptunia games on Vita.

As you have obviously guessed, the rest of the Neptunia series from idea factory will now have a physical release in contrast to HyperDimension Neptunia Re;Birth1. When NIS America had Neptunia, all three main games plus the Perfecting Perfection Vita game had retail releases.

idea factory have also confirmed that HyperDimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed will be coming to Europe in Spring 2015 (North American retail release date is May 19th). The company will also be releasing Omega Quintet for the PS4 (North American retail release date is April 28th).

Both pre-ordered. Loving the first game. I'm most looking forward to Neptunia U though!

edit - damn I put Criminal Girls Limited Edition in my basket this morning and now it's sold out gutted

Some more Vita love (note besides DBFC (which is digital only over here) the other US covers don't have final versions on the UK side):

 

[NormanicGrav]

Well I just found out that Kara no Shoujo has been re-released for physical release. Cover is safe for work but the game itself isn't (aka NSFW). It's also said to be one of the most popular (and apparently pretty depressing according to Kotaku) visual novels out there.

The game is priced about $39.98 (~£26.97).

One day i'll play a Shiren the Wanderer game, always wanted to try them out.

Really hope Bamco bring Ray Gigant over, looks great.

 

[jonno394]

Limited Edition version of Hyperdimension Neptunia U for the PS Vita comes with a pillow case! Love teh art they used on the box/OST

 

[jonno394]

Damn you NIS AMerica! DOesnt look like this is coming to Europe.

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

Good job the Vita is region free then

 

[jonno394]

Yup but ordering NISA exclusives are a pain in the arse to order as they no longer accept orders from outside usa or Canada.

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

Oh yeah, I forgot they opened an EU Store. Are they still overcharging like crazy? I remember when it first opened and people (Rightfully so) lost their **** over the price of the Persona Q LE.

 

[jonno394]

The price wouldn't bother me too much, it's the fact they don't release everything. Had to get a friend in America to post me htol; niq and will likely have to get him to do the same here if he can. Hopefully nisa Europe will prove me wrong and announce this on Friday with their prinny update.

 

[jonno394]

One Limited Edition I will definitely be buuing

And two I may well buy

Oh and this is getting a physical release so i'll jump on it (still need to play the second one)
