I'm surprised they let you just walk in with a camera and take pictures of all the new eroge. Do you have to ask for permission, or just sneak the camera in? Or is it allowed? In the states cameras aren't allowed in most stores.
You took the pictures in armor and without! Prefers eroge with cute illustrations ^^;
Nathan, I have permission from the store boss ^^
@Danny Choo: Do you go "すみません写真取ってもいいですか？" or just point your blaster at the shopkeeper? ^^;
Windbell, Was introduced to the store manager through a friend in the figure industry ^^ Every time I go I just show his business card.
It's called "taking hidden pictures with cellphone cam ninja technique". :P Nice ones Danny... your nosebleed function kinda missed a spot on the last 2 photos. XD *NOSEBLEEDS*
Most people probably already know this, but those who want to install and run eroges on their XP machine, without having to reboot into the Japanese version of the OS, can install and run AppLocale. Question for the Mac guys. Is it possible to install and run an eroge natively if you choose to use Boot Camp instead of Parallels?
NICE DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha THX never knew how to change the languaje option on my XP...well that solves the problem...nice shots BTW...
Man! That store is heaven! XD All those eroge games, I would certainly run around like a kid in a candy store going like "I want this...this...and that". Too bad I can't read Japanese, so I can't really play these games. =(
not really my cup of tea - but cute nevertheless
Nami no Mani Mani and Megachu got my attention.
I remember walking into many stores with wall to wall ero while in Nipponbashi...great way to spend a day ^_^.
i need some loli eroges...any recommendations? oh, where's timeleap?!! when will it be out?! *nosebleed~~
wasn't summer days a while ago? if i recall it was... really next release ero games (the drawing especially) u can go to getchu.com if u wanna check it out (the website in jap) - have all the things about when certain games are release and the newest/hottest ero game atm~ (also have h-/non-h anime too) basically --> a lot fo stuff u can find there(the site = a site for selling those stuff) and ya i seen a lot of these name from getchu looking at these pricetag makes me wanna cry >.
just realize typgint too much = cut off -.-" so ya my conclusion since watching pricetag hurts --> i'll dl them instead with a lot of dc stuff), clear(wonderful moonstone stuff), and ＡＬＩＣＥ♥ぱれーど(Unisonshift--> probably another ito noizi work) ^^ and if u say i am spamming --> i got no comment ^^"
wow, alot of nice game hopefully the story are nice :p, but i dont understand japanese so have to pass :(...need to learn it for the game hehe...
I'd say anime characters are still a bit cuter in general. There's just a LOT of copy&paste character designs in eroge.
woho Ito-sans Alice Parade game looks great! Plus I like all things based on Alice story hehe ^^; And Megachu DVD... mmmmhh :D Thanks Danny for these news!
wow... alice parade looks nice...
Now I realize why I should have spent more time in some of those shops when I was in Tokyo, especially the back of the street, dark side corner ones. ;) I could be playing with my anime too!
I believe females in Eroge are cuter, but this is often to the risk of exaggerated displays of feelings and characters (to the point of stereotyped behavior). Anime characters are more human, more flawed, less superficial, but sometimes too much down-to-earth. Enough said.
I'm particularly interested in Akane-iro, Lyrical Lyric, Clear and Koisuru Otome, while Nono to Kuraso has me surprised: I can't believe that Nono of Yotsunoha is that popular! Just goes to show that I need to play more eroges (and broaden my understanding of Japanese -_-). Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is done by the same company behind Kono Aozona ni Mieru Oka, while Lyrical Lyric is from the company behind Miraroma, and Koisuru Otome to Shuugo no Tate is by AXL, which is a company that's released pretty good, but unpopular, eroges, like Tutorial Summer, or Hidamari. Not sure if anyone knows those titles, though. Circus Land...hmm. I wonder if that's a tie-in to Eternal Fantasy? Needless to say, I'm also looking out for that. Alice Parade is another title I'm looking forward too, as Noizi Itoh-sensei's art is on it. I have all the eroges that she's done art on! From Komorebi ni Yureru Tamshii no Koe, to Wasurenagusa, Peace@Pieces, and Nanatsuiro Drops, which are all released by UnisonShift Blossom, the team which Noizi Itoh likes to work with. Alice Parade would be their latest upcoming game, and I can't wait to see their take on the Alice in Wonderland story.
Forgot to say that all those eroge may promise a lot of awesome future figures hehe ^^ Girls in eroge are usually better drawn, and like D_Blade said, more exaggerated. That's what makes their appeal ;)
Oh, It'd be awesome if they get figures. I'd probably go after the heroines of the games I've listed out, and many more. BTW,if anyone's interested in either School Days or Summer Days, you might want to know that both games require a ridiculous amount of patching in order to be playable. Just a head up, since the School Days series is stirring quite a lot of interest in the original eroge, along with Summer Days.
Can't wait for the Megachu! second dvd XD
Sorry - I forgot to turn on the nosebleed function for one of the photos - its enabled now so you can enjoy ^^;;
These are drwan so well. ::NoseBleed::
y are their "XYZ" so huge~ i prefer medium size ^^" i might buy these to put on my shelves like i did with my anime ^^ but for now --> dl!! ^^"
My biggest gripe abut these games is that the ones released in the US tend to suck. Less plot, more sex, y'know? Granted that's what sells here, but there's gotta be at least a niche market for "dating sims and whatnot from Japan that don't suck." I'm sure we can come up with a better name, though.
Erm i was wondering, will they ever check your age for eroge? Im going to Tokyo in a month and wanna try to get my hands on リリカル りりっく and Circus days, and D.C.II.S.C if possible. 17 here..>.>
Well, if you want sex-heavy eroges, there's the fetish-oriented eroges for that one. Tons of sex, and barely any plot. You might also want to try Illusion's games, for that matter, but they're all in Japanese if I remember correctly.
Kuu, They don't usually check - unless you look twelve I guess ^^;
Those eroges have such nice art.Even though im a girl id love to play a bishojo eroge with art like that.I heard summer days sucked because there was some bugs in it.Anywho if i could get my hands on some noiji ito art id be in heaven too bad im short and am easily mistaken for a 12 year old.Someday ill be able to walk into a store without being asked if im lost or something.
i'm always in win xp jap locale, ready for jgame.. anyway, the newest teatime らぶデス２ is a good try..played for a while..
Looking forward to Shin Ringetsu in October . . . .
Just wow! Love the products...makes me want to leave MOE Land and got to Japan!
Which are cuter?! Aren't both of em'?
wow that's a lot of games, lol. i wonder how many come out per year? @.@
