"Around a year ago, NISA released Hyperdimension Neptunia for the PS3. This RPG took a unique take on the genre, by attempting to parody it. Surprisingly, the title was a smash hit and went on to be a sought after game till it was reprinted. Naturally when a Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 was announced, fans were quite excited to see where this title will go.

With Megadimension Neptunia VII on the horizon, we here at Michibiku felt like we should offer an overview of the main series’ installments."
