Too bad, i was hoping for a new game or a localisation of NepNep☆Connect: Chaos Chanpuru but at least it will bring more into our NepNep community .
I Played all the 13 localized games and still can't stop loving this pudding fanatic goddess

You can already get Re;Birth 1 for dirt cheap on Steam when it's on sale.

Unless you let me play as 5pb. early on or even throw in the Gold Third as free DLC so I can play as K-Sha, I ain't interested, I played the original, and most of Re;birth 1, why would I honestly buy this?.

...i'm not sure i get the point of this. It's basically a re-release of Re:birth 1 from the Vita and (what i played it on) PC, which are both dirt cheap! Unless the 'plus' amounts to some extra story, new characters or having the CPU candidates playable from the start, i don't really see any point re-playing this.

Now Re:birth 2 i could re-play just to try and get the Conquest ending (and all the other endings i missed in my rush to get to re:birth 3)...

I love the Re;Birth series I hope this is just a port based on the PC version and no exclusive content for it. If anything, these games should have been ported to Android and iOS as well.

Not exactly, i went for a couple of endings in re:birth 2 but i don't think any were the true endings (think it was the lastation ending and planetune ending) before i started re:brith 3.

They've been released in the west years ago. The original three games are on the PS3, the Re;Birth games are on Vita and Steam, etc.

The very first post in this topic is the point of this. Not everyone can or wants to game on PC, and IF is clearly trying to transition the franchise to PS4 (note VIIR and 4GO). This move makes complete sense, putting the Re;Births on the PS4 gives new players an easy entry into the franchise, even more so if they touch it up and make it nicer.

Damn it Iffy. Right in my weakness. Now I have to get the ps4 version since re;birth 1 can`t play on my vita tv. I just hope they bring it to the west and also have a better translation for it.

I was a nep fan for three years before they brought re;birth 1 over and the translations were rather meh. I actually got bored with the game even though I had already played through the ps3 games. And as much as I love the series and characters that spoke volumes for me. I did eventually finished the game. The same can be said for the translation of re;birth 2. They changed nep's personallity and I hated quite alot of the lines she had. That was not the crazy nep that I knew. They didn't change her that bad or much at all in ps3's mk2. The only difference was her voice in english.

So if they plan on doing this for re;birth 2 as well, well I hope they have better translations and bring the real nep back. Cause the re;birth 2 nep made me want to strangle her. That also speaks volumes for me. Lol.

I also noticed that the english voice acting quality and voice direction dropped horribly starting with VII. Nep's HDD voice is now horrible compared to the awesome job done in the PS3 games. Why they made her change the old good voice for this piece of crap one is beyond me. Compa and Noire's voice direction wasn't that great with the worst being compa. Really, what happened to the awesome english dub back on the ps3. Though uszume's afimojas, steammax and c-sha's voices were the only new voice actors that were pretty good.
