ミラクルミライ

ずっと前にニトロプラスの社長に「みらいちゃんの美少女ゲーム作らせてよ」と聞かれてずっと悩んで来た。しかし世の中には寂しいヲタさんがたくさんいる。みらいちゃんがその方達を愛することができると確信し、OKを出した。そこで生まれたのは「ミラクルミライ」と言うゲーム。
もうちょっとで発表したかったのだが、ニトロプラスのシェアホルダーミーティングが今朝行われ、主に海外戦略をカバーしていました。その戦略の中で現在のニトロさんのゲームを英語にローカライズしたり、このゲーム「ミラクルミライ」で海外の市場に入る話しとか。
いくつかのバナーを用意しましたのでどうぞ使ってください。
いくつかの不満のメールをいただき、殆どは「みらいちゃんをそのことさせて許さない」のような声でした。しかし、イラストを担当するアザミユウコやニトロさんやdannychoo.comに取ってはゲームを出すメリットも大きいし、フィギュアが発売する時には売れやすいとフィギュアを担当している会社が言う。

ゲームの詳細などはhttp://www.nitroplus.co.jp/pc/でどうぞ。

このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。

    I hope it does some in English because I would buy it and also hope for a figure as well. Though make sure they give it a good story as well. [That does matter!]

    I don't mind if Mirai is in her eroge but I would appreciate it if you warned us in the future about it. Meaning if the post is about Miracle Mirai just include the name or something in the title or somewhere to give us a heads up you know? As for a Mirai figure? OMFG!! I've been waiting for that! xD

    Today, when I was checking out DannyChoo.com, I saw the banner on top and was excited! Now that I've seen this post, I am very satisfied and I will approve of all you are about to do for your company and for Mirai, Eroge and stuff. I 100% agree that it is a good idea to do this, and hopefully it will turn out good.

    Anyways, all I want to say is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT OMG LOOK AT HER!!!*nose bleed spraying everywhere*

    I hope this shareholder meeting about localization was received well. Just like having to wait years for some things to get over here, it'd be nice if it was sooner.

    English text is all thats needed, keep the japanese audio and all will be well. Having english option right in the japanese version would be even better!

    Trying to decide if this is a prank or not....I mean, I saw the banner this morning, so it wasn't added today, but the pose is the same in all the pics, which Danny said he was gonna use & then add clothing. Plus the announcement was made today...But that site had a bunch of info up, which was also posted yesterday...

    Whatever, I want my uncensored Mirai pics!

    I hope this is true. I actually spotted it over a day ago, so I think it might be true, but with even Anime News Network calling it an April Fool's Joke it's hard for me to be sure.

    I'd rather have the Mirai No Mirai anime though. :(

    While part of me feels it wouldn't be like Mirai-chan to be in an eroge, I fully support this! I love Mirai she's darling. And it's your character Danny so, in the end you know her better then anyone!

    So, Miracle Mirai will be coming out in english too? If so YAY! ^_^ Will buy to support you and Mirai-chan! Looking forward to seeing the figure too!

    I've been thinking of doing some Mirai fanart for you. Maybe I will soon to celebrate all your successes!

    I was hopeful, but I'm not biting into it anymore.
    At least if it was a visual novel, maybe, but as an eroge... So unlikely.
    Still great pics (I especially love the fourth and am not really so much into the second... And this even if they are all variations of the same picture)
    Ha ha ha ha ha!!

    Wow, can't imagine Mirai in an eroge game.. I hope this is an April Fool's Day joke..

    If it is not, then I wish you all the best making the game a success..

    Great article Danny; you really outdid yourself this time. What can we expect next year? Maybe adding a new member to the family and naming her Mirai, or you could have a regular feature in a magazine/show.

    First, if this was an April's Fool joke, it's a pretty elaborate one. It's featured on both here, dannychoo.com and on NitroPlus site extensively. Plus, I highly doubt any fans of NitroPlus products would get the joke since they wouldn't know the Mirai IP as much as we do.

    My personal opinion is that a Mirai eroge game is kind of a perfect fit for the audience of dannychoo.com. I probably would have put money on a Mirai figure or anime coming first as the company's IP maiden products but there you go.

    I can also relate to why some readers would have issues with Mirai being made into an eroge since there's always that associate with something you thought that was pure should be tainted.

    Even from Danny's perspective, it's probably a risky first move in a business and branding sense since it might give the general mass market whom are not familiar with Mirai or dannychoo.com the wrong first impression.

    But in any case, congrats Danny! While I've never brought an eroge game (I've played "Cobra Mission" and d/l quite a bit of dolphin waxing "inspirations"), if NitroPlus does publish an English edition of "Miracle Mirai", I'll be getting it for sure!! ^____^

    I would approve, the more exposition it has, the better for your company. A bit risque, but if you feel it's right, it most certainly is. Only thing that makes me sad is the lack (or total lack rather) of eroge availability here in the island.

    Seriously guys, a lot of you actually question if this is a joke or not?

    She's in the same pose in all the screenshots. I think that makes it apparent enough.

    Congratulations, Danny, is all I can say! A Mirai eroge, at last! Plus, for Nitro, sure will be a good work

    I`m agree, a Mirai eroge will help you a lot, don`t worry, like the father of the girl you are you must absoltuly proud! the only thing I lament is that I can`t play the eroge when relase, sigh... At least will see the CGs

    By the way, 1500 post? Is this a record?

    Ya, I agree this is a April fool
    Danny never talk about it before neither

    if is truth, 9000yen is a bit expensive, and I'm not really in eroge

    But I will definitely buy the Mirai figure, will member have a priority pre-oder ? or may be we can have Danny and Azami sensei 's autograph on the figure's base ^v^

    I've never actually played an Eroge, though I'd like to give Beat Blade Haruka a go. So I can't really comment on a the Eroge

    BUT I think a figure of Mirai sitting in that pose wearing her uniform would be excellent!

    It'd be a must buy on my list.

    I think it is a good idea for her to go into an hentai game. I mean you know it too Danny. Sex sells, and well you're choosing the one that will profit you the most. You're going for the big bucks. As a business consultant, i'd advise the very same thing. Adult market is huge, and it's fast cash inflow. Debate all you want ;p but you know you are wanting the big bucks! no hiding it now!

    It's a great joke. I can't remember ever seeing any April's fool jokes that were present on more than one source (except for the time when TV and newspapers got fooled by a joke press release)

    I don't know about making an eroge with Mirai. I think it would be fun for 5-10 minutes and then I would regret it as you can't go back to not having seen it and it spoils the character. If I avoid it then I will keep thinking about "it could be interesting" every time I see her and that would also spoil the character. I think it's best if it never really happens (yeah go scream at me if you like).
    When I read the news the top bar had Mirai crying and right now she looks surprised/scared. Maybe she has a mind of her own and is trying to tell us something.

    First an anime and now an eroge, eh? Consequently, both announcements were made on April 1st. And you mentioned that the earlier one was a somewhat-serious concept. At least you've attracted a VERY large crowd... gargatuan!

    What can I say? Eroges are great moneymakers if the content is right. You and Azami-sensei may be walking a right direction though Mirai's be different ^^.

    However, DC, curiosity pokes me so. Mirai's yours so I personally don't feel the need to voice my approval rating, but tell us: who'd be Mirai's seiyuu? WHO?

    Hahaha, nice try Mr. Choo, but you can't fool me!

    You see, fundamentally speaking, The day you announced this Miracle Mirai Project is on April Fool's Day...

    Not like a week after april fools or a week before

    This is very suspicious

    and technically speaking about nitro+
    They always create games with dark genre on it. About serious things, the dark side of human minds and actions.

    Mirai... She's too colourful and happy to star on an eroge by nitro+. She need to be like a badass

    And this miracle mirai. I don't see any character beside Mirai here...

    Ergo, drawing my conclusion, It's a fake =3

    anyway, I fell for it. But I run a few investigations...

    I can't believe April Fools is such a big thing online.... people spend so much time and money on these elaborate hoaxes just to disapoint people... like that Zelda one, looked darn tootin' graphically. And the Assasins Creed SS one, another one which most likely was expensivish.
    I don't get why they enjoy tearing peoples dreams apart?

    It's like if Clamp hadn't already done a crossover series, and they announced Tsubasa on April Fools for a joke. I would be so disappointed that it wouldn't be real...

    I concur with XSportSeeker. 3=O..
    I think I can sense what will happen _next_ April.
    A serious transgression will occur. The *original*, *uncensored* drawings of Mirai will be *stolen* from the offices and surreptitiously uploaded to a Taiwanese World-Wide Web site.
    Heh heh heh heh heh.
    And when the eroge is released, I hope I don't have to _cheat_ to get to the nakadashi segment. 3=}
