It also plans to release other NAVEL titles, but has not announced which ones.

This line makes my day. I've been wanting to play Really? Really! and Tick Tack! to completion but without a full proper English script available, it is difficult to do so unlike Shuffle! I wonder if this also means Lovedol and Soul Link as well in the near future.

Are they going to release the 18+ only version, or will they release the "clean" version as well? (I'm not very comfortable with the former . . . )

I feel like the only one who wants to see a dating-sim game for girls that could get a really good anime adaptation (like Kanon, Clannad and AIR). Laughing

It will be the 18+ version for all navel games they release.

edit, I would like to point out they also confirmed plans to release Da Capo II at Anime Expo

They definitely are ambitious. Though it's still a welcome change from the more C/D level titles usually picked up over here due to their high sex level. Hopefully, the day of stuff like Sex Pageant are over. Though it's rather amazing any are being announced.

If that doesn't count as an accurate enough source, I can also confirm it by having attended the panel last night.

If this is the "adult" version of Shuffle, does that mean it won't include the Mayumi and Kareha routes? Confused

YES!!!

I never thought we'd get the Higurashi game(s) here. Excellent news. I'll download the first night.

Wish jastusa got the rights since they release physical copies of there games and not stupid download only. Also there translations are usually not that good.

Don't forget Kira*Kira!

This is awesome. I hope they can grab Saya No Uta someday, too.

I know, I was kinda hoping for the DS version too, but this is good. As for Shuffle! THANK YOU! Can't wait, I will be downloading both when it comes out.

HELL YES.

MangaGamer has has not only won Anime Expo in my eyes, but they've won the year. I thought that seeing localized versions of visual/sound novels such as Higurashi and Shuffle! were never going to happen.

They're going to be pricey (especially since I live in Canada) & I don't have easy access to a credit card, but Shuffle! is among my favourite romantic drama/comedy titles targeted to males, so I do want to pick it up down the road.

There were no routes for Mayumi or Kareha in Shuffle!. Mayumi pretty much just gets that ass-service shot that is also present in the anime.

Mayumi and Benibara do have their own stories in Really? Really!, though.

But wasn't there a difference between the PC and PS2 versions in Japan? Something about Itsuki's backstory, too... Maybe I'm getting my games mixed up, IDK.
