General News IV: A New Hope?

[Stranger]

Shii, sorry, I honestly thought you were referring to the physical copy. I'm surprised that JAST's digital copy can be bought from Japan.

Update on it from Shingo:

Hi all,

I've gone ahead and stickied this as the official topic for Yukkuri Panic! Escalation. We'll have preorders available for it shortly, and we're testing the master today with an eye to sending it for duplication as early as tomorrow. More information is available at the game's official site:

It's from Kara no Shoujo. Look at the text box and Auto icon on the right. Compare it with the screenshots in this :

Mangled quote

stay pro mangagamer

Actually you should blame the translator who translated Divine Comedy from italian then, not Mangogamer. It's a direct quote from there, changing it would be a travesty.

Not the best choice of font, if you ask me. Quite readable, but ugly.

Bamboo from OVERDRIVE confirms MuvLuv for Mangagamer

Just released to the public today... a complete Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Kiss (DS) English patch. You can read more about it at http://gokusaishiki.wordpress.com/20...ss-final-patch

Hmm... Bamboo's specific comment about Muvluv was translated as: "'Muv Luv' is a big title from age, and they take significant care about their games. It's not that they are ignoring the overseas fan, but because they still put their priority in the Japanese market, their response is slow."

So I don't think any Muvluv official localization has been confirmed. We'll see what Anime Expo 2011 brings...

Since no one mentioned it specifically: JAST's localization of Demonbane has been out for a few days now. よろしく

Kara No Shoujo changes

Long Story short:

New Engine due to the old one not able to display English correctly. The entire system that the old engine had has been reproduced and was apparently tested by the people who did the fan-translation.

No voices, reason being that Innocent Grey doesn't own them. Another company does and they wanted an outlandish price that cost several times more then the entire project did.

Innocent Grey is also interested in bringing more titles into english including their newest title that they are currently developing ( assuming its Kara no Shoujo 2 )
