Seriously? They couldn't just localize all of DGRP Reloaded onto the PS Vita? That's cutting a lotta corners

Localization isn't cheap, especially with a game as reportedly difficult to translate as Danganronpa is. Japan had already received individual releases for the games, so a bundle port on Vita makes sense. This is the first time the west is ever officially getting a Danganronpa game.

Not to mention, with the fact of what goes on in the game, from the "cliff notes" of the anime, there's definitely more to it, than just a simple "port" of the game.

There's probably a lot more features being added, from the voice options being bilingual (usually the case with a good portion of NISA games), to actual use of the touch screen (it basically is a "life or death" version of the Ace Attorney series with a lot more "insidious" situations and characters).

I'll need to see the preview again to see what all has been added exactly for the game.
