| Sorry about the lack of information. The sites that had the best info were all in Japanese, and my Japanese fails pretty hard. If anybody who knows Japanese would like to contribute to what I gathered, feel free. |

| So I'm guessing it's going to be like one of those Hack-n-Slash adventure types right? |

the_seventh_l said: I'd be more excited if it had a snowball's chance in Hell of being released in the states. Seconded. Maybe in like 5 years, you know, by the time the DS is old crap. Maybe if somebody licenses Kai, there is a slight chance, based on its popularity in the US, of the game coming over. But..... I really doubt it. |

| *sigh* great news, but really news like this is best left unsaid state side... now if it was a dbz budakai game or something yea, i'd see it in no time flat, but higurashi, i think not... i 2nd the snowball in hell |
 |
| While it doesn't have a the greatest chance ever to come out in the U.S. the genre is pretty popular in the DS with games like Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, and other adventure type games. If the anime comes back out in the U.S. I could see it having some chance based on the those factors. |

| My friend translated a page for me about what comes with the Limited Edition. The stuff in parentheses are comments he added himself. "The special edition comes with a box to store all 4 games, much like an anime collectors box. Also, it comes with the Sonozaki Family Collectors Can, which contains: The Unhappy Trump Card: Until forever it's important Watanagashi Cleaner: Let's absorb the bad stuff with cotton Curry Eraser: Does Chie-Sensei consent too? Mini Calender: Summer is when the Higurashi cry... Kyuuute Accessory Case: Put your DS in here. "Omochikaeri!" (Oh, and I spelled it "Kyuuute" because it says "Kaaii" in the original Japanese, which is Rena's strange way of saying "Cute", which should be "Kawaii".) Substitution Memo book: I wonder who on earth's book this is... (The kanji either says Substitution, Sacraficial, or Scapegoat. All 3 work pretty well to describe Keiichi's memo from Onikakushi, neh?) Warning Sticker: If you don't listen to our warning, you'll suffer a cruel reptentence. (They show a yellow sticker like a street crossing sign, showing Rena chasing Keiichi with a cleaver, denoting: "Frequent Rena Appearance Warning")" And if you pre-order the game, you get a syringe-shaped pen. |

HOLY SHIT. SYRINGE-SHAPED PEN?! *preorders* (Though I don't know Japanese DDDDx) |
| :__: Why weren't I born in Japan? :__: |
| I wish I could get this.. *looks at DS which has not been played in a while* xD |
| I already have the limited edition pre-ordered. >_> rozekruez said: I do not see how a good game can come out of this anime =.= but we'll see =] It was originally a series of games, actually... |
| Damn. Now I have to get a DS. |
 |
| this is the trailer for the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsppqUukCJY |
 |
| Yay~! Natsumi's in it~! \o/ Now to hope there will ever be an English version.. |
Baman said: Why weren't I born in Japan? You don't need to. Just learn moonspeak and then buy the game. Problem solved. |
| ;-; I want the sticker and the pen. I only have sissy games for my DS right now anyway, english higurashi DS games would give my DS some much needed toughness. |
 |
| Wonder if this is going to be similar to the original Higurashi game series... if only I could understand Japanese. =x And yea, so far the anime series haven't been released in the United States yet, so it is doubtful that this game will be released here. >.< |

Shana is love.       |
| Why...? WHY...!? Is there NO company willing to make a retail english version of these sort of things!? |
| If this came out in English...you know those people who buy consoles for a single game? Yeah. |
     |
Kanashimi said: *Marks her calendar to stalk all of her rom sites* Yesh. That~♥ |
| If only my ds didn't break... Stupid ds. I opened it up, and the "new" piece of crap was actually refurbished. |
| Ever since I've found out that the series was originally a game, I've really wanted to play one of them... this gives me hope (false hope, I'm sure) that I might actually get to. *sigh* |

the_seventh_l said: FreyaSui said: FateSyka said: Do want. ;-; |
| if we die we'll meet again in valhalla... |
| I REALLY want this to come to the US. Wasn't there news about the Higurashi VN on PC getting localized here sometime ago? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| tHe sad truth is that it is more likely to get released in the USA than here in Scotland and the rest of Britain >.> |
| It was funny to see the face of the WalMart guy when I asked if they had the game. He was all like WHAT THE HECK IS THAT??? |
| Cool. Hope there's lots of murder involved. |
| Yeah. It's very cool, but only be in Japan. |

ppizzapie said: If this came out in English...you know those people who buy consoles for a single game? Yeah. The sole reason I bought a DS in the first place is because I KNEW most anime games are in the DS xD |
| Man... if someone were to draw up an English language FAQ for those of us who might want to try playing the Japanese version, I would buy a copy SO QUICKLY. My Japanese is far too rusty for me to try conquering it on my own. |
