We are the Little Busters! Now 100% english!

Wooh! Little Busters has been fully translated.
But people with the ME/EX versions will have to wait for another translation...

Translation Notes:

The past few weeks after translation "finished" have been incredibly busy thanks to testing, debugging and general fixing, but finally...

Team fluffy is delighted to announce the release of the Little Busters! complete translation patch.
The impatient one may proceed to download it here

Four and a half years after the original game was released, three and a half years after the translation project started, and two years after our 50%, A.K.A. common route patch, this product of our labor allows you, the player, to experience the game in full, from beginning to end, non-stop, in English.

This patch contains every character route, every minigame and everything else translated.
It also includes our recommended set of fonts.

No machine translation was hurt during production.

We apologise in advance in case this disturbs your family's holidays.

and for those people with EX/ME

In order not to delay the release of the main patch above, we skipped some of the polish from the EX/ME script. We have tried to make these as enjoyable as possible with the translated material presently available. Thus some of the more critical new lines amidst the otherwise translated scripts have already been translated, but not all of them.

1. These extra patches give EX/ME working minigames, but in return they have a certain amount of untranslated lines here and there, for systemic reasons.
   
2. There are also known issues that would've been too much work to fix for this release - the biggest one is one where lines with the same Japanese text receive the same translation everywhere in the script. This causes some errors in minigames, but also makes some lines appear rather weird at places in the script.
   
3. You will not find new content in the routes with this patch, because that is the greater part of the problem itself. Instead you will get THE original Little Busters! routes in all their glory. All new content beyond that will have to wait for its appropriate releases.
   
4. Muscle Sensation doesn't work in this patch. Sorry, there's just no way around this until we get around to properly re-translating the Kud route.
   

Little Busters! Ecstasy First Press Limited Edition owners do not need to install the Little Busters! EX 1.01 patch to use our translation.

I know this isn't really a review but I will have my top ten anime of the year list up soon.

Slow Poke Here..Making A Japanese Xbox Live Account

My Set-Up

This is just something I have done recently discovered out of boredom and learned you can play Japanese games on your x-box. However there is catch like with all recent hard-ware that has region locking, however this will allow you play digital copies or demos from your HDD. Now you might be saying what is the whole point in doing this?? Well it's good way to get a-hold of demo's early for Japanese games that might take up to year to come out in the west. The downside is that you need make a repartee profile from your own which some are not willing to do. 

However all digital content can be played through any profile as long as the both profiles are on your HDD which leaves little room for concern. Now the only major problem I have run across is that some games require Microsoft points to buy them and american cards will not work with the account so I learned a lesson there. However if you have credit card/debit card then you should be fine. The biggest hurdle is making the separate account so follow the directions to a letter from this site. So will you be making a Japanese x-box live account now??

Corpse Party Release Date/Details.

Uhh.. Yeah.. That Had To Hurt.

For those who have been following news on this game or have read my previous post about it, then you know that this is first true horror visual novel/rpg to make it state side "even if it's only digital download only". The main focus of the game revolves around a group of high school friends that are trap in an condemned  elementary school. This is where a series of grizzly serial murders took place. over ten years prior school called Heavenly Host Elementary, "who would kill 10 innocent children in a grizzly matter and for what reason??"  I also wish to add this game will have one of the most note worthy Japanese va cast I have seen in a long time.


Let us move on to the main focus, which is trying to solve these murders however the biggest thing is trying to get out alive. The game is split up in to different chapters for each character which only happen to have one true/happy ending. This means if you don't play right/make the right choices you will end up dead and get the worse ending possible for each chapter that you play, "so can you get out alive, or will face a horrible fate??" Well When the game hits the PSN Nov 22nd 2011, see if you're brave enough to do so.

To You of the Future - I give you every song...

Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni, also commonly named MikuKisu is an all ages Vocaloid themed Visual Novel by Supplement Time.

The game starts off with a chobits feel to it, at the time MikuKisu is set in androids are commonplace in society, from maid androids to singing androids they have many uses.

On a winters night you are walking home after drinking with some friends you notice a girl asleep on the street. At first sight she seems like a normal girl but after a closer inspection turns out to be a singing android, 01 Hatsune Miku.

After taking her home, installing her and then being glomped, you realize she can only say "mi~"

She also seems to lack standard functions which becomes a problem when getting her into some clothes.

After discovering she had to be configured, you set her language, behavior and vocal settings. This allows Miku to speak and more importantly sing.

And so begins your new musical life with Miku.

It has a linear plot so no choices in this VN, it also has quite a rapid progression due to MikuKisu's short length. But the life with Miku is enjoyable nevertheless.

The story seems to be based around a few of the more popular Hatsune Miku songs, but mentioning them will end up adding spoilers to this review. Of course a Miku fan could easily notice the links.

In fact I was never a big Miku fan, I prefered Luka's darker music, however this game has linked a great plot with the lyrics of Miku's songs, and we all know songs are better when we can link them to something.

The CG art is very well done, Miku is portrayed really well and has a brilliant smile.

As for the background art, well there aren't many backgrounds due to the lack of places visited.

Like most VNs sold at Comiket there are no voices in the game, most of the background music is forgettable as well.

It includes some of Miku's songs like White Letter and one of my favorites Time Limit which I now find kind of hard to listen to.

Unfortunately there in no music mode when the game is finished so the only way to find them again is either via the internet or by playing MikuKisu over again.

Well Are You Excited- Final Fantasy Type Zero Demo/Preview

Official Cover-Art

In all honesty I haven't been excited about a Final Fantasy game since 2001 with the release of FFX. It's not that personally hate some of the newer titles, like Crisis Core, Tactics or even some of the newer remakes. However it's just that the main games have been focused more on cinematography with little to no game play. However Final Fantasy Type Zero is gonna change all of that with real-time battles, no random encounters and full movement in 3d much like in Kingdom Hearts so get ready for so many rage quit battles.

A Glasses Girl In My Final Fantasy?? DO WANT

So if you are a fan of action/rpgs this game will be right up your ally and I personally have been playing the demo no-stop for two day's straight and can not get enough of the game. As of now there is no plan to release the game in other country, however I will not give up hope that it will get a state-side release as of yet. It does seem that a chance no matter how slim will be worth it, Square-Enix knows how to release decent games if they take there time. Well below is link to download the demo, feel free to try it out however you will need custom-firmware to run it.

Hatsune Miku Is Really Catching On...

Official Banner/Poster

If you don't know what vocaloid is or even who Hatsune Miku, then you must have been living under a rock for past five-six years. More less it's an made of group of idols using special software to synthesize voices to make unenviable flash animations and even full motion holograms to all ages visual novels. The main point of this post is to let you know that they are doing a concert in nine USA cites on Nov 10th @7pm, the list of cities are below.

Baltimore, MD                                  

Boston (Manchester), MA              

Chicago, IL                                       

Houston, TX                                     

Los Angeles, CA

Orange, CA                                                               

New York, NY – Two locations                                                                  

San Francisco/Bay Area, CA          

Seattle, WA   

To me this is a huge sign that Hatsune Miku is really catching on state-side or an event like this wouldn't even possible. In all honesty even I am amazed to see that she is that popular with fans over here but hell I have been proven wrong about things before. Well I shall catch you all around later, let me know what you think and will you be attending the concert?? "Sadly I will be unable to do so myself"

Woah...A Japanese Horror Game Heading State Side For The Psp

Hmm Those Urinals Need Some Cleaning...

So to kick the month off I am going to share this tidbit of good news with you psp/horror game called Corpse Party "yeah it's lame name". In all honesty I really have not been excited to play a psp in a long time but the premise alone for this game sends chills through my spines every which way possible. The basic premise is that four to five high school teenagers are stuck in a haunted elementary school to where grizzly murders of four children took place back in the mid to late 70's. 

The original game it's self was made in RPG Maker, so getting a full remake for the psp should say a lot already for the game. It seems that X-Seed games knows what people want to play for this fall season, so just look forward to playing it, however as of now it's a digital download only through the PSN. I personally don't have a problem with that, I was just hoping to pick up a special edition for the game. Well lets kick off this month with a great start and get this ball rolling.
