wait what? I missed this. PS3/4 as well?
No PS3 Logo on the website, so probably only PS4 and Vita.
Have there been any news for the Vita version of Kancolle?
Oh, man. I hope this is some sort of retail compilation, I need this.

I feel PS4 has a future as soon as the PS3 dies and VITA is killed off
So, is there any history this kind of bundle make their way out of Japan?
FUCK YOU TOO CAPCPOM
There's just PS4 and Vita logos on the site.
What's this about exactly? A compilation of the previously released Touhou games or something new?
They pushed the TV series to Jan, 2015 so I'm sure they have shifted to announce game details too. Now they are saying some info will be available during fall of 2014.
Yes, there´ll likely be a bundle next year outside Japan. Like for MH3U.
Not a special edition, but I guess that'll suffice.

2017 it is unless Square Enix makes FFXV and KH3 cross-gen. A trend we all saw throughout this latest Sony event.

They will not because that would hinder the western sales of those games (PS3 will be pretty much dead in west after 2015).

RER2 platforms haven't been announced. Chances Capcom going to put it on the new 3DS perhaps as well?
they just confirmed the platforms, so I'd say no. it is an early 15 game also.
Revelations 2 is PS3/PS4/360/XB1/PC: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201409/01060364.html
Since you're here, could you summarize this Dengeki article for the Touhou PS releases?

This is square though, Rise of Tomb Raider is freaking cross gen and that's holidays 2015.
Haha it's almost like all those "Has nintendo persuaded you to buy a Wii U yet" threads we get after every Nintendo Direct.
Edit: I'll be more specific.
First 3 games are not by Zun himself but fan-made spin-off, and they are for PS4 at this moment (there are quite a few non-canon Touhou indie games made by other ppl). I'm not sure those 3 games are ports or new games. Farther entries will be for PSV, PS4 or multiplat.

It's indeed Square Enix but I want to believe that even they have enough sense not to release cross gen games in fricking 2016/2017. Not to mention FFXV and KH3 have been already announced as current gen games so it would require some extra stupidity to make them cross gen at this point.
so, basically both Sony and Nintendo had their "TGS" conference. We could absolutely get more crucial info from third parties during the fair, but still:
1) Who you think just had the best event overall for its business?
2) Which console will probably benefit the more of the new announcement?
3) Do you think that we could see a change of pace/structure for the Japanese market, that seems so far very oriented into mobile and in second place into portable consoles (with the home segment that struggles)?
4) Which is the best single-annoucement hw/sw wise?
My takes:
1) I think Sony. Nintendo simply abandoned the Wii U to its destiny: I think that overall we could see PS4 take over the Wii U next year pretty easily with the major IPs announced (even if multi with PS3 or Vita) while PS3/Vita could continue their "decent" pace. So even if the 3DS will still probably be the strongest console in Japan, I think that as a whole Sony did a better job for its three consoles. This is even also linked to the "ecosystem" concept that they were able to develop, while Nintendo is still way behind in this.
2) Well, probably the 3DS again. The new model and the strong IPs confirmed (even if not announced "yesterday", there will be MH, FF, DQ, Bravely, Etrian Oddissey, Super Smash, Pokemon and so on). So, the new model at the same price of the old one will probably help the 3DS in keeping its leadership in Japan.
3) No, I don't think so.
4) It could be the new 3DS model, because it is well priced, offers various new features over the normal one, and it's not a one shot item. Second place for MH4G New 3DS bundle and the new DQHeroes PS4.

I'm not sure how much "TGS conference" last Direct was. It was basically focused on the new 3DS model. Usually Nintendo has some conference around October to present their plans for late 2014 and 2015.

How was Nintendo's "TGS" like at all? It was strictly a 3DS direct, Nintendo usually doesn't do their big direct till near the end of the year or at the start of the new one.
how can a year-end Direct being more "TGS" moodly than a late August one? :\
Nintendo decided to have a Direct (their most important, or only, way of "conferencing") at the very end of August, few days before the Sony "Pre-TGS" conference, and decided to focus it entirely on the new 3DS model, with some 3DS and some "New 3DS" games discussed, new bundles announced and Smash for Wii U. It's not that someone forced them to have a direct focused on 3DS around the TGS time, just before Sony TGS conf. They decided to.
I think that it's save to trace a comparison to judge Sony and Nintendo "TGS" and "Japan-focused" incoming proposals right now.
If Nintendo will have another Direct at the end of the year, we'll judge that Direct for its contens, right?

It will obviously save it as MonHun saved the PSP
I wasn't around at the time so don't know, but was there any particular reason MonHun exploded like it did back then? It did well on PS2 (500k), but for it to suddenly have a game sell 4.8mil on PSP...

Then, Nintendo and 3DS just "won", if we are strictly talking about Japanese hardware and software sales.
Yes, unless Nintendo will have another Direct within September focused on the Japanese market, I'd consider the "New 3DS" Direct as their TGS-like effort. Of course, they don't go to TGS and didn't called the Direct a TGS-Direct, but still...
Thank you for your opinion: yes I was indeed talking about Japanese market-consequences of these two conferences.
I don't think it will be that easy for the PS4 to overtake the WiiU that quickly.And nintendo decided to focus on the 3ds mostly in their direct since they barely focused on it in their previous directs and/or digital events.
The perfect storm I'd say. Good enough visuals, handheld, ad hoc gameplay with your buddies exploded and word of mouth. Probably something more in missing.

basically this yeah, especially being able to play on the go with your friends everywhere.
Also, I know it won't have any impact, but I love that there will be a Dead or Alive x Senran Kagura collaboration (costumes). Out of nowhere, but also a bit related when you think about it.

Doesn't seems like it
Going by the above list only like 3 games has the potential to sell over 100k. Vita is a platform that's about to enter its third year, it should have much stronger showing than that.
One Piece, GE2, and what is the third one? Utapri?
Did you even see the list you quoted? How is Vita neglected when there are a number of new games announced for it?
Senran Kagura maybe?
Games = 'exclusive titles that are guaranteed to sell at least 100,000 copies in Japan'.
Don't try and understand it, just go with it.

Oh. Seems like RE has left the Nintendo platforms. Early 2015 is also surprising.

Looks like Denpa Ningen no RPG Free! has been downloaded 500k times in Japan. I'm actually surprised this number is so high. Hard to tell without any % of people actually buying stuff, but looks like a pretty solid performance for F2P game on the 3DS.
It launch on July 23, by the way.

In a MC/Famitsu topic I'd say that it is pretty normal to "list" the meaningful release, ins't it?
Well, everything left the Wii U, so...for 3DS I'm a bit surprised, also because the game sold devently on 3DS (looking at the results on other platforms), so maybe it was more a "asset/tool" decision? If the port could have been easier probably they could have proposed also the 3DS version. Or maybe not, I don't know.
