Last week saw the release of Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk-2 and Growlanser IV: Over Reloaded in Japan. Neptunia Mk-2 sold 32,751 copies, which is higher than its predecessor’s 22,574 debut. Mk-2 ranked #4 on the top-20 sales chart. Meanwhile, Growlanser IV: Over Reloaded sold 21,900 units, coming in at #6.

 

Another new PSP game, Amnesia (above), published by Idea Factory, sold 11,841 units at #13. Amnesia is an otome game. You wake up one morning with no recollection of who you are, who your friends are, or what caused your memory loss. To complicate matters further, your boyfriend doesn’t know that you can’t remember him.

 

As for just who this boyfriend is…it sounds like that might be up for the player to decide. Choices you make in the game influence your relationships, creating both friends and enemies. Regardless of who it is, though, the catch is that you have to make sure your chosen love interest doesn’t figure out that you can’t remember him.
