Last month almost felt like the fall game release season with how many game releases it had including Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Sonic Origins, AI: The Somnium Files nirvanA Initiative, Pocky and Rocky Reshrined, Capcom Fighting Collection, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Disgaea 6 Complete, and more. July has some highly-anticipated Japanese games including one I’ve been waiting years to play. The Nintendo Switch in particular is strong with Sunbreak having just released. Here’s what you need to know about the Japanese games releasing in July 2022.
