Infinity series in name only; the company creating it didn't have anything to do with the original series and only has the license, none of the original infinity staff has been confirmed yet and it looks like neither Nakazawa (Never7, Ever17, Remember11 director and writer) nor Uchikoshi (Never7, Ever17, Remember11, 12Riven writer, 999 director and writer) are involved with the project at all. Hell, it hasn't even been announced 5pb (has some ex-KID staff) will have anything to do with it, so it might not even have Takeshi Abo music.

It was announced some time ago for X360, the news it that it'll be on PSP as well.

Wow. It's like they're not even trying to make it look like an infinity game.

Jasts estimated release order after 'President' and 'Yukkuri Panic': http://twitter.com/#!/jastusa/status/75035684557160448

Yumina is in final QC/postproduction, Moero Blaze is debugging, School Days HQ is mid-production. That's a likely release order.

'Aselia' was mentioned in a separate tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/jastusa/status/73908725534035968 http://twitter.com/#!/jastusa/status/73908857830780929

We're currently testing/debugging the installer, once that's done we'll be in post production (package/manual work).

Realistically it's looking like a July or August release at this point.

President and Yukkuri should be out by the end of the month apparently.

What's this? Are they trying with all their might to show their customers they can't even fully translate something so simple? Are they sure it's really okay to make economy of words?

Anyway, unless they need to display the original Japanese text only "because it's cool" (like Japanese do with Engrish), I suggest them to remove the Japanese text, if they don't want people making fun of them for their lack of professionality.

However, if they keep the Japanese text, probably I'll buy it.
