As the Hyperdimention Neptunia series makes its way to the Vita as remakes, Idea Factory announced that they will be localizing the latest game that came out for the Vita for a Western release, Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart. For those who are not familiar with the game and its characters, Norie is one of the CPU goddesses of the fictional world of Gamindustri. She rules over Lastation, which is a parody of the Playstation brand. As a CPU she has the power to transform into Black Hart, which enhances her powers. Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart is actually what you would consider a “What if” or “Elseworld” story. In this game, the story takes place in a world called Gamarket and is centered around Norie as she is close to winning the Console Wars. But a mysterious force takes away the powers of all the CPUs, and forces the goddesses to unite to save the world. In addition to Norie being the star this time around, the gameplay for Hyperdevotion is different, as this game uses SRPG format a first for the series. While there are multiple trailers out for the Japanese version of the game already, I’ve decided to go with one that’s spoiler free as possible. That and there might be changes to the localized version of the game that the Japanese trailers might not reflect:
Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart is set for a early 2015 release in Europe and North America.
