Welcome to our Weekly Pre-order Games news. Keep yourself abreast, read up on games that are just announced for release. All games come together for a big explosion in Chou Jigen Game Neptune V. It's time to see the girls in the rival schools in Senran Kagura Burst, and time runs in a loop in Toki no Gakuen, break out of it in Totomono.

Chou Jigen Game Neptune V takes place 2 years after the defeat of the big bad witch Magiecon. No big trouble arises, and that's not a very good thing for the heroine. Luckily for Neptune, everything changes when she is transported back in time.

The Gamegyoukai in this instalment is reminiscent of the gaming scene in the 1980s, and it's being threatened by the mysterious group The Seven Wisemen.

After giving up her seat as the heroine to her younger sister in the last game, Neptune is back as the main lead. She becomes more bubbly, and her story becomes more charming. Familiar characters such as the goddesses of Lastation, Lui and Reenbox show up, see how much fun their power struggles give the Gamegyoukai.

Transform into the goddess Purple Heart in the summer. The Limited Edition boxset is expected to come with a Neptune Figure Set and a Booklet CD set:
