How SEGA chooses which Japanese games to port and when.

Port Appointed

In April, 2017, the PC Gamer team made a wishlist of Japanese games we wanted to come to PC. Over a year later, and… we’re still waiting on the many of those games. But even though I’m not yet playing Gitaroo Man through my Steam account, PC fans have recently enjoyed releases of a number of Japanese games, many of them from SEGA’s back catalog. With Bayonetta, Vanquish, and now Yakuza 0, SEGA is building a reputation as one of the most proactive porters of Japanese games to PC.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
