SCPM: Not strictly GOG related but I asked Sega if we'll see more Dreamcast games come to PC (like Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Skies of Arcadia, Powerstone, etc.) and they said that they do intend to support their older games but have no official announcements to make yet and to keep tabs on gaming news sites for any announcements.
I would love to play some of them!

I won't mind if they brought over some of their saturn games as well as the dreamcast games.

Weclock: I think a lot of companies feel like "Oh well, if we can get fat and rich off releasing the same product time and again without any updates, what good are we as a game company? We should only make new things, and we should make them more brilliant than before!"
But what about people who haven't played said games and are interested in history of gaming? For example Nobuo Uematsu's themes form earlier Final Fantasy games are said to be regarded as one of his best: how so, if people can't hear them, becouse they are sold-out?

Would you look at that? Guilty Gear Isuka. Looks like you probably should have been absolutely specific. Or at least spelled it "GOG" instead of "GoG". GOG hates people who don't capitalize the word "old" in acronyms. Unless it changed to "Good of Games" or "Good or Games" when I wasn't looking. :/

Since there are Arc System Works games here I wonder how long before we could see the BlazBlue Calamity Trigger PC port here?

Otherwise I welcome more Japanese here on GOG.

Now THAT one I'm interested in.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, I would like to see the Sierra/Game Arts games here on GOG like Silpheed and the Thexder games, those are Japanese games and pretty damn good ones too.

I'm not saying it's a well thought out plan.

I want to play Berserk again!

How about:

Japanese publishers need to give a toss about the PC. We probably only got Squee through their ownership of Eidos - which does, or rather did, give a toss about the PC.

Sega is surely on the cards, but GOG's inflexible price points are almost certainly the culprit there as they're too high for Sega's megadrive games.

What I meant is: arent there old game nerds in Japan? They always seemed to me like people with inkling towards nerdiness.

I'm sure those guys are eating up the final fantasy originals available on wii.

OneFodderUnit: Nice to know. Is there a thread somewhere that has them on record saying that?

Thanks. Hopefully something comes of that since they have more games I'd love to see here.

I'll also mention that I notice Capcom published a few indie games like the Exceed collection and Satazius on Steam. It would be nice to see some stuff like that here.
Since people mentioned fighters , I'd also like to push for the Melty Blood games to get a Western release.

A lot of Japanese publishers remind me of a clueless 16 year old teen girl who has no idea what it's doing when it comes to PC

WE WANT TO SUPPORT PC, WE LOVE PC USERS, PC IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US

1 fucking year later

THERE IS NO MARKET FOR US ON THE PC, ALL PC USERS ARE PIRATES, CONSOLES ARE MUCH BETTER ANYWAY BLAH BLAH BLAH

I'm looking at you, fucking Capcom, the cunts that touted how they want to support the PC but failed to deliver a PC version of Dragon's Dogma when tons of people asked for it

Konami is guilty of this as well as many other Japanese publishers, SEGA however recently really seems to walk the walk and provide actual support for the platform

Sega's supported PCs since the days of Windows 95. They went away for a while but as you said, they've come back in full force.
