Is it just me, or is there some weird wording in this article? Like "directly form MAGES" or "his very best to ensure the make sure gets".[/quote]

Form MAGES should be from MAGES, the 2nd quote for sure is goofy.


Another one of those times when I wonder why these companies make things for iOS and not Android. Android is and has been at like 75-90% of of mobile phone marketshare now....much more potential audience.

This is crazy Steins;Gate coming from every direction this week.

Still not Chaos;Head but I'll just support Steins;Gate and wait in the shadows...

It'd be neat to have it on an ipad I guess but I can't help but wonder about the file size. That's gotta be a big game.

I'm guessing Mages/5pb are handling a lot themselves and Pqube are sort of just there for getting it on the shelves because they don't have the means at the moment.

Maybe there looking to expand they seem like a company a lot more interested in the west then some publishers in Japan.

I'm pretty stoked about this, not only because I love Steins;Gate, but also because visual novels in the West are on the far end of the niche spectrum. I'll support them in any way I can to see more in the future.

Won't be getting this on iOS though because I have the Vita for my portable fix. I have the PC version for the at home fix!

Now for Fate/Stay Night...

You do realize that the VN came before the anime?

There's already Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions of S;G on the App Store, worldwide. Size is about 1.5 gigs.

Bought the Limited Edition when it released but never got around to playing. Much rather play on an iPad than my computer as its easier to use. Probably sell it, though I wonder how they're going to handle the fan book and instructions as I'd definitely miss those. Looking forward to getting it!
