General News 3: It Isn't Over Yet!

[NTX]

Yikes. Didn't Sonozaki Futago-tachi already do a significant amount of work on the original higu? What a waste for something that's already being fan translated to be picked up... I'd have mixed feelings if Remember11 was picked up, altho R11 has no ero so MG probably won't touch it.

...you do know that Higurashi has no ero, right? >_>

I heard the original one did? Or was I misinformed? This was a long time ago

You were misinformed. No 07th Expansion games have porn in them.

Not even nekked Satoko? D:

Looks like the Ban is beign steadily pushed forward in the Japanese Diet. Question is: will the ban extend as far as mere possession? It seems like included Anime, Manga, and Eroge under the ban is already set in stone (with a 3 year period to decided what does and doesn't fall under the ban.)

I'm sure it'd be beautiful.

So are we to interpret this as them saying anything is fair game for MG? Or as Ryukishi07 seems to being extremely keen on expansion in the west?

Kouryuu: I haven't heard anything about anime/manga banning. What's the most up to date news on that?

Did anyone mention that Akabeesoft2 just banned foreign IPs as well

OH I'D LIKE TO SEE THE EXPRESSION OF ASCEAI

The original has 2 pics of a naked Satoko, but there is a version with a towel (although the text does say that she drops the towel while she runs away).
Anyway, the art on the second PC of that anouncement is not the original artwork, but whaterver, this is serious business. I don't trust Mangagamer, and the relesase schedule is ridiculous.

<Ignosco> I hope that's not what it appears to be.
<Asceai> *sob*
<Asceai> My favourite eroge company has betrayed me

I'm sending them an email right now, actually. I've been In Communication with akabeisoft2 in the past, so...

[LoSs]

I've already mailed them, no response for now.

[Asceai]

I'm just now leasing a virtual dedicated server in Japan - better than relying on open proxies for all of my eroge site browsing; what if they started blocking those too?

[LoSs]

They won't until "gaijin will do more shit"

So I hear Jast is gonna release demonbane and Jingai Makyou. Also, MG seemed to have banners of Shuffle! and Koihime Musou at AX. Now that Jast's doing Nitro+ stuff again, who knows if they'll take Sumaga and Cartaga. I wonder if they're unaware it's being fan translated, or just don't see it as an issue. It's good news for all of us, but you've got to feel sorry for the people who've been working on these games for months on end.

Oh, and yay, Koihime Musou (maybe) XO
