Once again, G-MODE is doing god's work and bringing back all these games from Japanese flip phones that were believed to be lost forever.

Release date is not given yet, but I imagine it will be fairly soon. They have been announcing these not too far out from release.

This is an action game prequel to Persona 3 based on Aigis. I've not played it, I have no idea how good or bad it is, it's just exciting to see this archived.

If the game is good then I think it's only a matter of time before someone finds a way to patch the game with an English translation.

Nice, hope it gets an English patch from the community like the Persona 1 mobile game did.

I'm glad they're preserving this but also what the hell.

This will be interesting to see, even if it's apparently not very great.

had no idea G-Mode Archives was on steam, ive been buying Yen eshop cards to grab some of these.
Love to see titles like this preserved, early mobile games i feel are some of the most at risk of being truly lost media.

I just wish they could somehow add an English translation.

The community was able to translate earlier G-Mode releases, so is it a rights issue? Surely G-Mode is aware that these could make a nice splash in the West given the popularity of the brand?

Will show my support anyhow - I love what G-Mode is doing. (Also check out OU from them, great adventure game)

Nice, didn't think we'd ever see this playable on modern platforms. I'll be looking into getting it.

Never heard of G-MODE... omg, could Pied Piper be a possibility?
They have been doing a lot of previously lost Japanese flip phone games. To name a few: Last Bible New Testament trilogy, the Persona 1 mobile spinoff, Majin Tensei Blind Thinker. Without a doubt we will get more of these.

Definitely a W for preservation, wasn't there like a single incomplete video of this game before this releasee or something?

Kinda rankles when I think about the sheer amount of phone games that must be lost.
