Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth is heading West late summer 2014 for the PlayStation Vita courtesy of Idea Factory International. I’m personally very excited about this news, as this version of the game has a ton of improvements over the PS3 release. Here are some of them from the press release:
Key Features and Differences from the PlayStation®3 version:
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 system 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 very few specifics on how Idea Factory International is handling this release, but we’ll keep you informed as details surface. You can check out the full press release for more information.
