Yamamoto: As a publisher, we would like to deliver it to PC users as well, but per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing on console. In other words, there are no plans to port it to PC currently.
Did a PC gamer piss on Itsuno’s mom or something? Even smaller companies like Falcom, Compile Heart and Tamsoft released their games on steam, but Vanillaware continues to refuse to do so. This is so puzzling when you combine it with the other news that they ran out of money as they were developing it.

It’s fine Vanillaware, we’ll keep pirating and emulating your games and play them anyway.
Such a shame, it’s so awkward controlling the cursor with a dpad and selecting all units while holding A, already played the demo.
In Japan PCs always had this weird association with porn, and Japan wouldn’t be Japan without all the antiquated traditionalism, so PCs fell out of favor for a while. Now that they’ve noticed PC as a gaming platform prints money in ludicrous amounts they’ve started changing their minds… So it’s a matter of time until the boomer execs get a stroke or something and younger people take their jobs, really.
I thought Nasu was the last one of these dinossaurs, since even he caved in and now the Tsukihime remake is on PC after he said that it wouldn’t be.
You can find it in your nearest Ryujinx so it’s ok.
I would have really loved playing this game on my Steamdeck but looks like the only way that’s happening is with some sprinkles of what Nintendo calls piracy
Before getting all mad about bad articles, this is probably more a case of vanillaware not being able to afford to port right now and wanting to focus on what they know. It’ll likely come later
Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

That’s from the game’s producer at Atlus. If the publisher wanted to get a PC port, they would have found the money to do it (or found a third-party to manage the port if Vanillaware wasn’t willing/able). Per the quote, Vanillaware themselves do not want it on PC - nothing about not being able to afford to port it or anything like that. This tracks with how they’ve never released a single game on Windows aside from an MMO they made for Square Enix almost 20 years ago, before they were even known as Vanillaware.
Vanillaware just doesn’t have any interest in PC, and while that’s quite frustrating, it’s their prerogative.

That’s an interview, and none of their games came before, this is just the nail in the coffin for the optimists.
