Muramasa

Followed by Cross Channel and KiraKira. This has been a great year for western VN readers.

Hard to say really, it's been a damn good year for eroge.

I'm leaning toward Muramasa at the moment, though.

Moonspeak?
Probably Muramasa, but I'm still playing Dive 2.

I'm not playing the translated games but I love Sharin no Kuni, Cross Channel and Kira Kira and I'm happy to see them translated, it's been a really good year for the western fanbase.

-Translation came out on my birthday.
-It was completely awesome.
-I am satisfy.

The only people who don't choose this are the ones who haven't read it yet.

Steins;Gate is supposed to be the best.
Port on PC WHERE?

So far it's Comyu but I have yet to play Dive2

Fuuuuck. I need to fix my computer so I can play KiraKira... HDD data retrieval better let me play most of my VN without retorrenting.

The one thing that made 2chan entertaining again.

>>3826937
Don't forget the third countdown drama.

>>3826937
>>3826966
What happened in 2chan? I never browse there.

>>3827004
I don't browse it, too, but the third countdown drama that they had before the VN's release was a Yaranaika parody.

>>3827004
They have a constant Muramasa thread running in may and these are actually entertaining, unlike the shit that you can find in the rest of the board.

>>3827033
...Well, damn. Got a link?

I suppose this one was made there, too.

>>3827092
You would be right.
It's late in Japan though so you won't see much now.
Well here is the current thread.

>>3827102
>>3826937
Damn, 2chan really loves Muramasa, huh?

>>3827109
Who doesn't?

>>3827102
Thanks, bro. Damn, this face will haunt me forever.

>>3827109
Who doesn't?
Well actually there was a Baldr fags vs Muramasa fags shitstorms a few days ago, it was pretty entertaining.

>Who doesn't?
I wish I could read it ;_;

>>3827128
Dude, there is always AGTH. And JAST.

http://sp.fmd-muramasa.com/vote/tournament.html
>Masamune versus Sayo
>Suzukawa having less votes than both Funa and Shinkai
>Professor Wolff having more votes than second-gen Muramasa
>Ichijo having 1 (one) vote more than Jouansai
Damn, this poll is pretty entertaining.

>>3827102
I would watch it.

>>3826501
Same here.

The year didn't end yet.
There's still Symphonic Rain, Soul Link and maybe the fifth episode of Umineko to come.

>>3827495
>implying that those will be anyone's favorites

>>3827495
You forgot Higurashi, Yuukyuu, and maybe ef.

>>3826479
kira kira has been fun so far....but I heard it gets sad near the ending....

>>3827584
You heard wrong. Generic happy end is happy. Nothing wrong with that though, KiraKira isn't a Nakige.

>>3827499
Symphonic Rain will probably be loved since it's awesome. Then again, you are using this 'implying' thing so discussing with you may be pointless.

>>3827509
Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo would be an awesome way to end the year.

>>3827584
Not sad, just awesome and yes there will be some sad moments.

>>3827593
Symphonic Rain is shitty, and it'll be the most trolled game on /jp/ since Family Project.

Sharin no Kuni. Family Project is a close second and favorite commercial release.

>>3827603
I appreciate your opinion, guy who has the hability to rate games which you haven't played.

>>3827509
You really think the Sharin fandisc will be ready before the end of the year?

Also, what the hell, without the Mana/Sachi threesome and without the Kyouko H-scene, it won't be as good... ;_;

>>3827603
It won't be trolled like Family Project since the heroines are pure.

Kira Kira was really good but I don't think I can pick a favorite. There were just too many releases this year, and the year isn't even over yet
Higurashi is still supposed to be released in December.

>>3827597
>>3827591
I guess I can handle the sad parts.....are they sad as in Clannad....or not that sad?

>>3827584
Not the true end.

>>3827627
>You don't like something I like, so you must not have played it
Hurrr

>>3827638
Once you finish her normal route, disregard everything that happens. Then go finish the other routes then do the true end route.

>>3827620
>You really think the Sharin fandisc will be ready before the end of the year?
Currently, there are only 5 out of 15 scripts left to translate.

>>3827638
I wouldn't say as sad as clannad but there's some moments, particularly in Kirari's route.

>>3827638
Not nearly that sad. Then again I thought the drama was too terrible to really be moved by it so your results may vary.

>>3827638
Well, the only sad part is the Kirari "normal" end. Chie and Sarina routes are cheerful, and the canon Kirari end made me rage more than cry.

I didn't enjoy a route as much since Coco's.

>>3827641
Yes, that 'hurrr' is the absolute proof you've read it.

>>3827657
What? Since when did Sharin have routes?

>released this year
>Kira Kira
>released on November 27, 2007.
>2007

>>3827658
Yeah, let me just prove it to you over the Internet.

>>3827668
Please tell me you aren't that dumb.

>25 Jun 2009
>Last but not least, we are proud to announce our latest release, "KIRAKIRA".

>>3827659
>>3827660
>>3827653
>>3827650

Then I'll probably leave Kirari route to be the last one...I'll probably take Sarina route first, then Chie...

>>3827683
He is just trying to be smart by putting the Japanese release date.

>>3827696
I would finish Kirari's normal first for the awesome.

>>3827703
This is true, Kirari normal made me burn with delight.

>>3827729
y u do dis ;_;

>>3827729
Kirari had the best route, but my favorite was Chie. Sarina was just kind of boring to me.

Thread title is favorite eroge/VN RELEASED this year - not TRANSLATED this year.

>>3827703
Agreed.

>>3827736
Then I'll go with Steins;Gate, I have no idea what it's about but by the videos I've seen it looks very interesting...too bad it's only for xbox 360...and probably will get a port to PC....but who knows how many years that will take

>>3827736
A translation release isn't a release?

>>3827737
Chie was my second favorite, but it didn't have the fiery passion that Kirari normal did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le2zxWrD294
It looks awesome, fucking JAST better bring it here.

>>3827767
Not when the OP post specifically said release of an eroge/vn, not 'releases this year' in general nor 'translation releases'

Just releases of eroge/VN meaning when the game came out. ಠ_ಠ

Chie's route was all about ROCK 'N ROLL!

>>3827772
They're not going to. No one is going to translate the monster that is Muramasa.

>>3827784
And he used Kira Kira for OP image, a VN that got translation release this year.

Jesus christ, you're the only one complaining about this, use some common sense.

>>3827796
Hey, maybe Nitro+ games will end up being their biggest sellers ever! Maybe they will get lots of new customers thanks to them, so they want to translate even weirder stuff!

...Maybe ;_;

>>3826476
stop spamming and ddosing Ａｎｏｎ Ｔａｌｋ .com also stop trolling and harassing us and remove all clones and troll articles and lies and leave us alone if u do this well stop posting these msgs forever

>>3827820
They have various VN's that are awesome....Saya no Uta, Chaos;Head, that Murasama thing, Steins;Gate...

How is Valcia? I haven't checked it out since I'm busy with Muramasa/Dive2 right now, but it looks pretty great.

>>3826477

Was maji de watashi ni koi shinasai released this year?

>>3827838
I imagine JAST will release Saya and Sumaga after Jingai and Demonbane. Former has already finished translation and latter's is being worked on all the time. Maybe Chaos;Head if 5pb can be convienced of the gaijin market.
After that it's a mystery. Any guesses?

>>3827845
Only played the first chapter and it was pretty good, though it also felt a bit too standard Liar-soft for me.
Probably going to go at it again after Dive 2.

>>3827838
>Chaos;Head
>Steins;Gate
Not Nitro+.

>>3827858
Yes. I wonder how the translation with that is now that TakaJun is doing Swan Song... Maybe he's gonna do it next year?

It'd be awesome to have these in English.

Kira Kira's lack of prologue for most routes was a little disappointing but it was my favorite of the year.

>>3827860
Hello, World please.

>>3826479
Tiara, delicious Clare.

>>3827495
>Soul Link
Wait what? I remember the anime adaptation of that being really shitty.

Is the VN any good? I remember hearing its SHUFFLE in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

>>3827995
It's shit.

>>3828001
Agreed.

I'm really looking forward to Sharin no Kuni's fandisc, Kirakira Curtain Call, Symphonic Rain and Devil on the G-String.
