Planet G games
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:32 am
Story goes that about 10 years ago or so GHM tried to do some mobile games (I'm talking iPhone, Android games as well as PS Vita and 3DS, not old japanese ones). Majority of people know about Frog Minutes and maybe World Ranker and Liberation Maiden VN. However, there are more games that were made and or published by GHM. Well, it's not The GHM, it's Planet G (or Grasshopper Universe, or whatever the fuck you wanna call that). From 2011 to 2013 they made some attempts in that mobile gaming area, but most of the titles flopped hard and never recover. I don't know the rest of the story, so I can only assume that sometime in 2013 GHM sold out Planet G to someone else, or someone within GHM took a venture with that mobile gaming area and continued on with different titles across various platforms. I have no idea if modern day Planet G is actually connected to GHM at all. My best theory is that they gave up somewhere in 2013 and moved on, while few people actually went on to develop and publish bunch of games. Again, I do not know the details and it's not like I can find any info in that regard.
When it comes for actual titles they've made (and or published) it's a bottomless pit if you ask me. You can find some of the games with .apk's and .rom's, however since most of them were digital only, they're now aren't available for download from digital stores. So, basically it's lost media. Good luck finding any info about them, I'm not even talking about gameplay videos or even screenshots. Just like with mobile 25th Ward - good luck finding it. Now, many may consider these games to be nothing special or interesting, I get that, however Planet G is somehow connected to GHM (is or was part of it), so I feel it's important to at least gather as many data on it as possible (IF it's even possible). My list isn't complete (because there are may be even more titles that were lost), so if you know or have any playable .roms, gameplay videos, screenshots or description of those games, please share that info here. Dump it all down. Let's preserve what we can, while we can.

Keep in mind that 80% of these are require online connection bullshit to launch and play them, and all servers are dead, D.E.A.D. I can find some info and screenshots and gameplay of games in last list, but not the actual game files. As of now, I have bunch of .apks for Android versions of games in the first list, and some PS Vita, 3DS titles that you can find on the web.
On Planet G site - http://www.planetg.jp/works/ last games were listed back in 2016, so since then they must've been bought out by some other company. Supposedly last game is Crows: Burning Edge, but you can only find Planet G on a boot-up screen, every else it says it was made by Bandai Namcot's. So, maybe company is dead as shit since 2017, I've no idea. If you're Bandai fan and played every game they've published from 2016, be my guest and find more Planet G titles if you can. I dare you. I'll post my findings about every title later.
