Dream Party: Aim for the Harem Route!
October 23, 2009
Dream Party 2009 Tokyo will be held this Sunday at the Tokyo Big Sight, with almost all companies attending it. There was a lot of news in the eroge world this week as companies prepare for this major event.
From this month’s issue of TECH GIAN comes a bunch of new game announcements. The main one (as Kres had already pointed out) is the RPG fandisk Tenkuu no Yumina -ForeverDreams-, with Nayuta as the main heroine. It’s scheduled for a winter 2010 release. Other games are:
AXL – AXL006 (no title yet)
LOVERSOUL – Green Strawberry
PeasSoft – Ama Ane (Spring 2010)
There’s also a mysterious game titled Taiyou no Ko, featuring staff from AkabeeSoft2, GIGA, CandySoft, among others. More news on this will come out in 2 months.
Windmill will also announce a new game next month. Lime plans to reveal their next game at Dream Party.
New release dates this week include:
Fake Azure Arcology – December 17th
Dies irae ~Acta est Fabula~ – December 25th
Hana to Otome ni Shukufuku o Royal Bouquet – January 29th
RUNE LORD – January 29th
Yunibaru! Paranormal Girls Strike!! – January 29th
KOI-LABO. – February 26th
The following games have been delayed:
Natsuiro Penguin – November 27th
Manaka de Ikuno!! – December 18th
PARA-SOL – February 19th
se.Kirara – March 26th
φâge opened the official site for Shapeshifter. It’s quite a change from their previous work, Owaranaki Natsu Towa Naru Shirabe. Taking a look at the seiyuu… isn’t this basically the same cast!?
There’s a seiyuu change for Erika in D.C.II Fall in Love. She is now voiced by Tamiyasu Tomoe instead of Ishikawa Yoshiko.
The last part of Leaf’s Manaka de Ikuno!! fandisk is Mananatsu, a 3D after story for ToHeart2’s Manaka. Iincho’s so cute >_<
Navel blocked foreign IPs for all of one day. Wonder what that was about. Anyways, there will be 12 endings for SHUFFLE! Essence+ and some routes (like Daisy’s) will not be open at the very beginning. Rumors has it there’s a bonus if you finish the entire game.
For Accany and Algester: The trial for Innocent Grey’s Caucasus is now available. Enjoy! For Hemi-tan: One part of Alice 2010 fandisk is something called Haruka vs Escalayer. Interested?
More info about the story for Citron Soft’s Imouto Smile has come out. Some rich kid who lives alone sees a cute girl outside and thinks that it would be nice if she were his little sister, and then she comes to his door and announces that she is. What? I didn’t expect much of a plot, but this is pretty bad. Looking at the H scene dialogue, it seems more like a nukige than one based on a story. I’m highly disappointed since I wanted a good story with lots of imouto meromero.
If I wanted to play a nukige, it’d be MoonStone Cherry’s IchaPri!. They recently added a special page detailing all the H stuff. There’s plenty of 3P and even a harem route. Sugisaki would be happy.
Miru won the second &LOVE chara poll. You can download a commemorative wallpaper off Comet’s site.
The chara poll for Tropical Kiss has started up with Matsuri and Hotaru currently in the lead. You can vote once per day until November 5th. There’s also a chara poll for Sugarcoat Freaks, although it doesn’t seem like there’s an end date. I guess it’s until the release date on December 18th. Green Strawberry also has a chara poll even though it was just announced. It runs until November 9th. Sakurako is really cute ^^
Battler won the first chara poll on 07th Expansion for Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru. Beatrice placed second. In announcing the results on the blog, Ryukishi07 also broke news that long-time 07th Expansion staff member and close friend BT-san passed away due to illness. His post was really touching. RIP.
Studio Ryokucha has an interesting poll running on their Koiiro Sora Moyou blog. If you could change your past, to which point in time would you return to? Personally, I would repeat my high school days and then complete university again, but without falling into the trap known as MMOs. Of course, that depends on if you retain your memories so you don’t make the same mistakes. Hindsight is always 20/20.
It’s the 10th anniversary for NekoNekoSoft (although they took a 3 year break in the middle) and they will hold a poll regarding the Sorairo fandisk next week. I’m almost done Ai’s world in Sorairo and I really loved Ai’s route. Kenji and Ai are the best siblings ever!
Latest goodies from Good Smile Company are charms of the really cute Pylori Miku and Pylori Rin and cathead Toet. These 30mm tall charms come out in January, at a price of 500 yen each. Their latest PVC figure is Hayakawa Yuzuko from Yuzuko Peppermint. It comes out in March at a price of 9800 yen, with a drama CD and booklet. I haven’t heard of this manga before. The chain and movement is nice, but I don’t like the blue/white hair. The next nendoroid is Magical Marine Pixel Mari-tan’s Jiei-tan, scheduled for March at 4500 yen for the special edition (3500 yen for normal).
Kotobukiya’s latest Strike Witches figure is of Lynette Bishop, with a January released date and a price tag of 7140 yen. I’m still not fond of those legs.
There will be a Saber figma packaged with the upcoming PSP game Fate/Extra. Looks ok, but not the best Saber figure out there.
The OP for Higurashi Daybreak Portable Mega Edition is out. Hauuu~ Chibi charas are adorable!
Currently running anime that now have console games include: Sora no Otoshimono (PSP) and Seitokai no Ichizon (DS). I wonder if SoraOto will be a flying game. Please make Sei☆Zon a VN!!!
Speaking of SoraOto, people were so moved by the 2nd episode’s ED that they tried it out. Beautiful.
Dengeki Moeou releases an illustration collection every season and the theme for this winter is bandages (ばんそうこう). Mini-figures of the To Aru Majutsu no Index cast will accompany the upcoming issues of Dengeki Daioh.
“Nakeru! Bishoujo Game Goroku” (1260 yen) by PHP Kenkyuusho offers famous quotations from nakige (games that make you cry). key’s works are definitely included, along with Da Capo, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Fate/stay night (although this isn’t really a nakige), Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku o and Kazoku Keikaku. Samples can be seen off Akiba Blog. I’ve always loved nakige for their stories. A ranking on Niconico listed AIR as the top nakige as of July 2007. What do you think is the best one now?
Majisuki and Sakura Sakura have visual fan books coming up. I still find them a bit on the expensive side.
Pizza Hut supports Railgun. I’m very interested in that double roll.
I laughed at George not being on the cover of his own Umineko character album. The guy can’t catch any breaks.
PonyCanyon released a sound CD called NaviKano ~Omukae ni Kichatta~, where you can choose between a ladylike osananajimi or a tomboyish imouto to be your raburabu guide as you journey from the Tokyo Big Sight to Shinbashi station. The tracks are coordinated with the stations on the Yurikamome. This is a brilliant idea.
Really really cute Yunocchi USB bundled with the Hidamari Sketch x365 Special DVD.
I know I’ve mentioned Kagabuu before, but I find it too funny not to post more pictures of her.
Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I’m quite busy IRL. I’ll try to keep the weekly news on Friday, but there might be times when it’s pushed back to Saturday or Sunday.

Oh shoot, Seitokai no Ichizon on the DS? I wonder what that’s going to be like.

Re: The voice change in D.C. II F.L., it doesn’t seem bad at all from the sample posted. In truth, though, I think I’ll always consider the Rie Kugumiya (from D.C. II P.S.) to be the “real” VA for Erika and the others are just substitutes. What I was interested in seeing confirmed by the teaser video was that Circus is in fact advertising this as the D.C. II “Finale”. I guess D.C.V. in 2010, and D.C.III in 2011?
Regarding Imouto Smile… this is disappointing, but not all that surprising to me. By most objective measures, their first game was pretty below par (story wasn’t all that interesting, character designs had real issues, the interface was gaudy as anything, etc.) but I did like the lead heroine a lot, so that was enough to make me buy the game. They seem to sort of be treading the line here again, with a game that seems pretty mediocre but has a few appealing elements that may still make it worth a try. We’ll see…
Meanwhile, you’re right about IchiPri. It’s like Moonstone is trying to get it out of their system or something, after years of doing rather restrained story-oriented titles. ^^;

Tenkuu no Yumina FD: Reserving side-ponytail dual-sword wielder Lilitia all for myself.
Shapeshifter: 4 out of 6 from Owarinaki proceed to the next title.. Nice. Though I haven’t got a good idea of the story. Normal eroge..? But seems quite decent.
Fake Azure Arcology: So Applique-Imouto finally straighten up making a better title. Looking forward to this.

“I wonder if SoraOto will be a flying game”
with flying pantsu ? :D
I’m tempted to buy Hidamari Sketch x365 Special DVD just for the Yuno USB stick.

@Reltair Maybe it’s that game Mafuyu’s always playing!
@Accany: At first glance, it doesn’t seem as interesting as Like a Butler or Koitate.
@relentlessflame: I noticed the ‘finale’ note in the promo video too. Personally, I hope they don’t make too much of a deal out of D.C.V. and head straight into D.C.III. We still need an Amakase Mifuyu.
Indeed, I heard Mikoko was pretty badly written, so I had reservations about the game already. Man, I’m so looking forward to IchaPri.
@Kresnik: Fake Azure Arcology definitely sounds and looks a lot better than SaiSai, which was such a stupid name.
@kyouray: And you’ll be able to customize your pantsu and race it with the Blue Angels. Actually, that’d be awesome.

nah Mafuyu’s game varies the fact she plays monster hunter second G on ep 3…. prolly its more or less like sugisaki’s dream POV

I think IchaPri! is worth it, just tried the trial. Aside from me using a dictionary since I can’t read Japanese kanji that well, yet. I foresee a lot of different scenes, so I guess it’s really a mixture of a lot of fetishes. Not to mention it’s widescreen. I have never experienced that before, but it looked pretty good. Guess eroge also modernize.
When looking at Imouto Smile, it makes me remind of the post you last made…The part of “mou gaman dekinai” really shows, just looking at previews on the site…I still laugh at Akiho though, her character personality is pretty cool. Reminded me of Saegusa Haruka from Little Busters!
The plot sounds a bit too superficial though. Then again, there are a lot of games where the impossible happens and never will be explained as well.
Manaka de Ikuno!…I liked To Heart 2, but not really for Manaka only. The fact that there’s also 3D in it, kind of saddens me.
Anyway, hereby you earned yourself another frequent visitor. I like your blog. Keep up the good work, and (long) posts.

Thanks for dropping by. Glad you liked it ^^
I played a little bit of IchaPri. It’s definitely a nukige, but a cute one at that. MoonStone switched to widescreen earlier this year with Majisuki (I don’t quite recall if Gift was…) I like the increase in quality.
