PlayStation 4 to launch in Japan on February 22

Today it has been revealed that Japan will be getting the PlayStation 4 quite a few months after North America. While Sony is planning on releasing the console in North America on November 15th, they aren’t planning on bringing it to Japan until February 22, 2014.

The system will cost 39,980 yen, but will come with a PS Eye camera and all launch versions of the PS4 will be called the “First Limited Pack” which comes with a Knack download code and a one year extended warranty for no extra charge. The reason for this delay is because Sony believes that Japan needs many unique game titles, many of which were announced at their SCEJA Press Conference 2013 today.

During Sony Computer Entertainment Japan’s 2013 press conference today it was revealed by Spike Chunsoft that they are working on another Danganronpa title called Danganronpa: Another Episode. However rather than being a mystery game where players will need to solve puzzles and other things to try and survive, it looks like the game will be something similar to a third person shooter.

More details are set to be revealed in the next few weeks. As for the Danganronpa series, NIS America is currently planning on releasing the first Danganronpa title on the Vita sometime in early 2014, which raises the questions of whether this one will also head West sometime in the future.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia Press Conference has revealed that Namco Bandai is bringing a new Mobile Suit Gundam game along with the The Idolmaster to PlayStation 4.

It’s likely that these will be exclusive to the PS4 given the outlook of the Xbox in Japan, but we’ll see what Namco decides to do. It’s also doubtful whether we will see these games outside Japan, as there has never been an Idolmaster game in the West (ignoring Shiny Festa for a second) and Gundam rarely makes an appearance unless it’s part of the Dynasty Warriors line up.

The final titles for these games aren’t confirmed, nor are the release dates. We’ll have more news as new info comes out further down the line.
