JAST USA Shares Information on Their Upcoming Nitroplus Releases 1

JAST USA recently announced some information relating to their releases of three Nitroplus titles, after a meeting they had with the company earlier in the month. JAST USA is one of the two main distributors of eroge (and recently all-ages) visual novel titles to the English market, with a number of titles under their belt including Deus Machina Demonbane (Another Nitroplus title), My Girlfriend is the President and A Drug that Makes you Dream among many others. The three new Nitroplus titles they have under their belt are Saya no Uta, Hanachirasu and Sumaga.

The first bit of news is that there is absolutely no news on Sumaga but it is due for release before AX next year. There is however some more news on the other two titles. As per the wishes of Nitroplus management, they have decided that instead of offering Saya no Uta and Hanachirasu on the same disc, they will be doing separate releases as they claim “that this is the best way to represent each of these wonderful, atmospheric works“. Therefore, you will be able to pick up Saya no Uta for the price of $24.95 and Hanachirasu for the price of $19.95. Customers who preorder both will receive free shipping and $5 off the total cost of the two.

Those who have already pre-ordered, please read this note:

All current preorders of the J-List Saya/Hanachirasu set will be moved to Saya and the price will be reduced. Refunds will be made as necessary. You will also be able to add Hanachirasu to your order to receive the discount. Please reply to the emails the J-List staff is going to send out, or get in touch at http://help.jlist.com.

About Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya

JAST USA Shares Information on Their Upcoming Nitroplus Releases 2Enter the world of Sakisaka Fuminori, a medical student who gets in a traffic accident and receives experimental brain surgery, being left with warped senses that view the world around him as a place of terror. Into this world comes Saya, a girl who is the only thing that now seems pure. With a scenario that stands as one of the first defining works of Madoka Magica creator Urobuchi Gen, nothing is as it seems — can you find away to escape the nightmare that surrounds you? A seminal work of horror and occult fiction in the visual novel genre.

The storyline of this visual novel was written by Urobuchi Gen, who is also behind the plot of Madoka Magica.

JAST USA Shares Information on Their Upcoming Nitroplus Releases 3About Hanachirasu

In an alternate version of history, World War 2 ended not via nuclear strike, but after a slow land war and occupation of Japan’s northern and southern islands. Years later, violent uprisings on the main island of Honshu caused the establishment of martial law and led to the disbanding of the government and the banning of all firearms. By the 21st century, the sword is the weapon of highest power in an isolated, corrupt Tokyo. You portray master swordsman Takeda Akane, a young man driven by the desire to confront his rival in this dystopia no matter what the cost. A brilliant “sword opera” drama from writer Narahara Ittetsu.

The release from JAST USA described this game as: “A true “samurai drama” that uses a finely-crafted world to explore themes that many readers of English-language visual novels will never have encountered before”.
