Anyway, this might spell trouble if other games are also affected by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to keep in mind here, NIS as in the Japanese branch of the company having financial trouble doesn't mean it's going to affect NIS America and/or NIS Europe. The western branches have additional revenue streams with localization that the Japanese branch would not, and they wouldn't have as many employees because they don't make games, they just translate and port them. Though that is also changing since some of the localization deals that are being made are also leading to ports to other consoles being released by NIS' Japanese branch in Japan (Trails of Cold Steel III and Ys VIII on Switch, for example). To be honest, Danganronpa being delisted doesn't seem to be an issue on the side of any of the NIS branches. Spike Chunsoft now has the ability to localize their own games and doesn't need NIS America or Europe to handle that. Any other games of NIS America or NIS Europe's being delisted would depend on the developer of the game. I highly doubt stuff like Ys VIII or Trails of Cold Steel III are going to be delisted any time soon because Falcom seems quite pleased with the work NIS America and Europe are doing in bringing their games to the west. With most localization deals the licenses don't expire because the developer lacks any ability to publish outside of Japan and it's in their interests to keep the game listed and continuing to bring in sales. In a case like Danganronpa, it wouldn't be as much in Spike Chunsoft's interests because they can publish themselves and there is no reason to split the potential remaining revenue with another company. To be honest, I bet at least the PS4 version of DRV3 will be back soon enough but published by Spike Chunsoft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 More than likely it's just that Spike Chunsoft wants to publish the games themselves instead of having a third party. There is a high chance that they will pop back up on PSN by the end of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask, because that's one game I really want to play but don't have the cash to buy it just yet . If it's recent I wouldn't particularly worry I see a license generally being held for at least 5-10 years. The only reason Danganronpa might seem quick despite the remaster being released not too long ago. Is probably because they already had that game in development close to the end of their license agreement. In that sense reminds me of the Activision Spider-Man games. They dropped a bunch in the last few years before they lost their license was about to expire because there was no guarantee Marvel would give them a new licensing deal. NiSA luckily though still does support physicals alot for most of their games though they can be expansive after they sell out due to most being lower prints. 1 hour ago, Xillia said: So what does that mean for me if I own them already?

The only time this may not be true if the servers go down or the game was removed for download due issues of a complicated nature. (Though if a game was ever removed in that way many countries have consumer acts that would require Sony to refund each player in that case.)

It's pretty much known as the Activision/Beenox effect. Game is delisted, either for company-related issue or licencing issue, and the latter is very much the common reason. If Danganronpa will not be re-released under just Spike Chunsoft, then the physical copies will go up. Edited July 19, 2020 by BadRep24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it also doesn't help V3 is still a $60 MSRP game. Plus the Danganronpa fanbase is pretty huge think of them to the equivalent of a fan of One Piece, Hello Kitty or other large Japanese series/franchises fans will pay almost anything to get what they want from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the perspective I did not know the fanbase was equivalent to that. I just need to find Trigger Happy Havoc for a decent price but its looking like £30 for the second hand copy on PS Vita it is to complete my collection.

Their fanbase is something else for sure though, but yeah if you can nab a physical opt now I would most game collecting groups I'm in haven't really noticed the delisting yet so you still might be able to find cheap copies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices of delisted physical games tend to go WAY up after delisting though. Generally new copies can't be made anymore due to the same reasons that caused the game to be delisted.

It's possible, however I wonder if they will even relist the PS Vita versions. Since PEGI upped the prices of PS Vita listings as they officially have classes it a "legacy" console it's more expensive to publish for the platform I believe it's doubled. So will be interesting to see if Spike will only list the PS4 versions or both PS4 and PSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntroPhenom Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is anyone else thinking of snatching these up before they're gone? I'll hunt around for physical copies first, I think, as none of the PS store options are on sale at the moment. Perhaps they will be, though, before disappearing.
