New details on the upcoming PS Vita spin-offs.

Dengeki PlayStation this week has an interview with Compile Heart’s Shingo Onodera and Sega’s Masahiro Nakayama, who discuss the upcoming Hyperdimension Neptunia PS Vita spin-offs.

Get the details below.

Hyperdimension War Neptunia VS Sega Hard Girls: Dream Fusion Special (Announcement) The game features an original protagonist named Hatsumi Sega. She’s illustrated by Tsunako, and her design is said to be that of a short girl with an S-shaped ponytail.

The game was born out of a separate meeting Ono was supposed to have with Idea Factory. He ended up asking if it was possible for a collaboration with Sega Hard Girls to happen.

Ono had been previously familiar with Neptunia series and wanted to do something since working on planning the original Sega Hard Girls series.

Development is being handled by Felistella and started last fall. The Neptunia Team is contributing art and other visual assets.

The game is an RPG that sees the Neptunia and Sega Hard Girls camps fighting one another.

The main focus character-wise is IF-chan and Hatsumi Sega.

Gameplay systems are vastly different from standard Neptunia games.

There’s attention to detail for the Sega Hard Girls; Saturn, for example, can’t use both of her hands at the same time because of the console’s CPU quirks. Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Army (Announcement) The game is being developed by Tamsoft.

It’s not a direct sequel. The story is a school sports-style one (think dramatic involving character tenacity like Ashita no Joe).

Four players can play together at the same time.

All of the characters from Hyperdimension Neptunia U are set to appear.

Everybody is in uniform… because school.

Release dates for both games are unannounced.
