Sega and Atlus’s Tokyo Game Show 2014 Lineup Announced

We now have confirmation about Sega and Atlus’s lineup at Tokyo Game Show 2014, and which titles will be playable. This article will cover games that are not under the banner of Segalization’s localization requests and will simply present the entirety of Sega and Atlus’s offerings.

Please be aware that Sega and Atlus will also be holding stage events and broadcast streams throughout the weekend of Tokyo Game Show, which you can find near the end of the article! Italicized games are titles that currently have localizations planned for them, for reader convenience, but keep in mind that localization status is still a tentative thing. Here is a list of what can be expected:

Playable from Sega:

• Phantasy Star Nova (Vita)
• Puyo Puyo Tetris (PS4, One)
• Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax (Vita, PS3)
• Hero Bank 2 (3DS)
• Sonic Toon: Rise of Lyric (Wii U, known as Sonic Boom in the West instead of Sonic Toon)
• Sonic Toon: Shattered Crystal (3DS, known as Sonic Boom in the West instead of Sonic Toon)

Promotional Trailers from Sega:

• Phantasy Star Online 2 (PC, Vita)
• Phantasy Star Nova (Vita)
• Yakuza Zero (PS3, PS4)
• Shining Resonance (PS3)
• Puyo Puyo Tetris (PS3, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, PS4, One)

Stage Events from Sega and Atlus, scheduled according to Japan Standard Time:

• Phantasy Star Nova presentation (9/18, 12pm)
• Yakuza Zero presentation (9/18, 1pm)
• Hatsune Miku Project new title presentation (9/18, 3pm) (update: this was Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe, an expansion of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2)
• Phantasy Star Online 2 presentation (9/19, 3:30pm)
• Phantasy Star Nova live demo playthrough (9/20, 2pm, different from recently released Battle Demo)
• Atlus presentation (9/20, 2:30pm)
• Shining Resonance live gameplay presentation (9/21, 3pm)

To speak for myself, the lineup that Sega is presenting is especially strong this year. A sizable portion of their prominent active franchises in Japan are being represented with Phantasy Star, Yakuza, Shining, and Hatsune Miku. We are also seeing a push for Sonic Boom in Japan too. Besides the representation for major IP’s, newer franchises such as Hero Bank and The World End Eclipse are being promoted. In addition, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax should have broad appeal: the former for its accessibility and crossover novelty and the latter for being a crossover fighter featuring popular characters. The real wildcard here is Atlus and their presentation on the 20th. Hopefully they will have more to offer regarding Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem! I am also excited to finally see what Shining Resonance looks like in action.

Kudos to this Gematsu article and this NeoGAF thread, and additional thanks to the topic creator of the NeoGAF thread for translated descriptions and scheduling of stage events. Kudos also to the PSUBlog for the entry linked in the description on the Phantasy Star Nova live demo presentation.

Update, 9/18/2014: Edited to reflect that there is very likely no additional Hatsune Miku game announcement besides Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe.
