Deals: Xbox 'Anime Month' Sale Provides Deep Discounts On Japanese Titles

Love me some anime! 3x3 eyes being the best Manga of all time, followed closely by Akira, or course.

That Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water discount is great for those who haven't tried it yet. And Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is right around the corner

How about Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection launching on Xbox, eh? That'd be nice get.

Was hoping to see Dragon Ball Z Kakarot on the list, I wouldn't mind the full current package but due to all the dlc adding up the price I think I'll wait for a while.

@HarmanSmith Agreed! I hope that the new Project Zero/Fatal Frame remake (9th March) sells well too so we get more!

What Japanese games? Xbox is the worse for Japanese and Anime style games

@Snake_V5 yea why did they post this empty list ??

@Snake_V5 too bad this isn’t PurePlaystation, wrong website

Waiting for a good sale of Soul Hackers 2.

What's that picture from?

Right after a price increase for their consoles in Japan a little ironic lol

@Lup Maiden of Black Water, the last entry in one of the three most acclaimed horror franchises, Project Zero/Fatal Frame.

@Banjo-

Ah, and it looked so cute haha. Thanks for the answer!

@Lup You're welcome!

@mousieone @SplooshDmg Ok, this is getting REALLY weird. AI Som Nirvana has been on sale MULTIPLE times on PS, Switch, and Steam, and remains not on sale, at all, ever, on XB, while the original is often on sale. Something bizarre going on. I've never see a game NOT be on sale on just one particular platform until this one. IDK what's up but it's starting to really grate on my nerves. Was trying to hold out but will probably just buy on PS next sale. I try to stick to one platform for multiplats, but this is getting crazy.

@Snake_V5 Truthfully it's great for most of the major stuff these days. There's really only a tiny handful of Japanese games left that I bought on PS instead of XB and 1/4 of that is all Falcom because reasons. There's an irony that almost everything I buy on Xbox is Japanese, and almost everything I buy on PS is Western these days.

@Lup i think it’s Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. I did a Google image search lookup so I might not be 100% correct.

It's sad that a lot of anime games still don't see a market on Xbox. At least anything less mainstream than Dragonball, Jojo, MHA, and that lot.

@Banjo-
Thank you for the recommendation! I had planned to buy Fatal Frame when it first came out, but it was a little too expensive and then I forgot about it. But now I can go back and support them, and hopefully they'll release more games in the future for Xbox!

@Utena-mobile That sounds great! I enjoyed Maiden of Black Water more on Xbox than on Wii U because of the controls, 60fps and higher resolution. I recommend players to read all the files they find because the story is very well written and translated and those files are what really explain the story and the happenings. You might play and think why is the cemetery flooded? Well, there is a file explaining exactly that and so on.

@SplooshDmg LOL this is the ONE time I trusted the site and didn't check the store, every other time it has been not on sale and have failed to see it ever on sale.

I'd buy it now, but.....this month is PSVR2 and it's gonna bleed me dry and then some....so I will have to, sadly, wait for a future sale

@mousieone OMFG he did it again!!! Sploosh is gone! I was JUST having a conversation with him on Push this morning, and then went to reply and he's gone across the board. Like an hour after he posted and I was replying.

Seriously, that guy.......UGH!

@NEStalgia you know how he is when he decides he’s had too much social media. He has to delete the account or he’ll “log on”z

@mousieone It was the ponies that did it. He was mid argument with the whole "PS is posting record profits this is the best thing ever for gamerz!!!1" bonanza on push, just lost it, snapped, and deleted his profile, mid-conversation!

@NEStalgia oh boy. I dunno he probably thought he if continued he’d say something he’d regret.

@mousieone Lol I was the one that jumped in the line of fire and went full aggro in that one, he had me as meat shield 😂

I'm just at the point where in terms of spend into playstation I'm now out-ponying the ponies, so I have no qualms about not defending their business practices, and laugh at all the "Sony hater" comments when I'm full hype train vr2, and I even bought their over priced controller almost none of the "I bleed blue" crowd will, and defend it. I'm pretty sure Jim would rather have my abuse and open wallet than their endless praise and closed wallet. .

Only in gaming and investment banking is "my vendor's profits jumped after raising my prices" something you pop the confetti for 😆

bought AI nirvana, fatal frame, Doki doki, Klonoa
