Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth | Cover

It is a great time for fans of the Neptunia series as Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 launches today in North America and tomorrow Europe. This is a complete remake of the original Hyperdimension Neptunia that released on the PS3 back in 2011. Here is a short list of some of the new features and differences straight from the press release:

An overhauled battle system! Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 takes the original game and equips it  with the battle system of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory! This gives the player a more in-depth gaming experience!

New scenario, new ending! The main story and event scenes are renewed from the PlayStation3 version. The core storyline will remain mostly the same, but the conversations between characters are all new! A new ending has been added as well! This will allow players returning from the PlayStation3 version to enjoy the game anew!

New “Remake System”! A new system has been added to Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1: the “Remake System”! It lets players customize and make changes to the game itself by obtaining “Plans”!

Receive Blank Discs to craft your own Game Discs! You can create unique equippable items by burning Idea Chips (abilities) onto Blank Discs! Depending on the Idea Chips used, a Godly Game may result, which will grant you an additional ability!

DLC brings more playable characters and more! Additional characters will be playable through DLC; players can increase the level cap to 999; and additional monsters, quests, and dungeons will be available!

We have also learned that there are 9 pieces of DLC in total, and all of it expect 1 piece  will be live on PSN today. The DLC will range in Price from free to $0.99.  If you would like more information about this this title you can check out the full press release or our full review.

As the site admin, he will continue to do this and even show there is value in what some would deem "pure ecchi." He loves niche games and anime more than anything... well, except maybe Neptune.
