What I especially love about all of this is the resurgence of Japanese games, there was a time when I was getting really pessimistic with the way things were going, nothing being localized and being left forever in Japan; big publishers turning down making the games that fans have wanted for years and years; sequels being Westernised/outsourced to Western devs and losing their original love them or hate them qualities. Now look at things.
And what i also love is how outta fucking nowhere a lot of these announcements were. If you were to tell me that some of these games were going to be announced even a year ago, I'd thought you would be mad, but now it's made me really optimistic.
Just look at that list. So happy for 2016, it's gonna be awesome. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
