Lets discuss video games that have just released in japan or old ones that sadly never got localized. To kick start the thread answer these three questions! What are you playing right now? What are you looking forward to? What is an old gem that you think has been overlooked because it was never translated?

I am playing Star Ocean 5, I kinda regret buying this honestly. It's a pretty bad game. The camera gives me motion sickness the combat is repetitively, unrewarding, and boring. The writing and dialogue is that special kind of bad that just makes my head want to explode. Weird that it's getting localized fast, at least they got that right?

I am looking forward to Genkai Tokki Seven Pirates, Berseria and Caligula. Berseria looks very fun in particular. Caligula on the surface looks very cool but just the name FuRyu is enough to make me check my expectations. I have no idea what to expect from pairetsu, it's a compile heart game, but that breast expansion man.

A game series I think has been forgotten but that I loved are the main line Summon Night games. We got the spin offs translated on the GBA and I was amazed to find out there were a whole other series of games. The balance was a bit lacking in the first two games but the third was almost perfect in terms of options, and difficultly. If you have been thinking of getting into Summon Night because of the new release I would suggest starting at 3 unless you want the full experience of knowing every character that is reintroduced in SN6.
