Doujin soft (or homebrew as we might say) Nintendo DS fan ports of both danmaku shooter Touhou and classic visual novel Fate/stay night have emerged, in both cases in English. Fans of such may wish to check them out:

touhou-ds-fate-ds-3.jpg

Touhou DS 0.7 looks to be functional, though not complete, and for those without an actual DS but with the burning desire to play Touhou on a cramped screen with inferior graphics, it apparently works with a DS emulator. It is intended as something of a portable version of Danmakufu.

Those interested should head to the relevant page; there are also apparently a few other such Touhou conversion projects out or on the horizon – Weeaboo’s site has some details and links…

Fate/stay night DS, or FateDS, looks to be complete at version 1.0, and promises as full a reproduction of the visual novel as the DS is capable of, with full voicing and English language support.

Version 1.0 resides here.

Credit for all this fine work goes to Weeaboo.

Genuine homebrew software – who would have thought?

    Do you have a some kind of grudge against Captain Obvious? And it’s not like 90% of all comments at most places are obvious things, right?

    I can’t help but be underwhelmed by the recent stream of anonymous comments to the effect that the anonymous in question has seen something before and graciously sees fit to share it with us…

    I do wonder if they took the translation from a fantranslator?
    Or if they translated it themselfs.

    Just beat FateDS (UBW) yesterday… simply awesome.
    It’s a bit sad that some graphical effects are missing (which is making some fights boring) and the sound effects are terrible on the DS… but it’s still a very good homebrew application and it’s just nice to play these games on the DS

    That’s the name of one of the routes.
    It was my first one, don’t know if its the first route every time.
    UBW = Unlimited Blade Works
    The second route is named Heavens Feel

    There isn’t a specific route you get first, it all depends on which choices you select.

    …Actually, if that was your first route, then you actually were in the Fate route for a little while; unless you clear Fate first, you can’t go directly to UBW; you have to wait until day four or whatever.

    There’s a save file included with Fate and UBW already cleared, so it’s not impossible.

    Fate/Stay Night on DS is sweet since the other guy who made a translated version had to pull his down due to pressure. It was a bit of a b***h to get everything running though.

    Well, old.
    VNDS is good stuff though and I hope they keep improving Touhou.

    So does that make the game’s title “Fate/DS lite” now?

    I crack me up, I really do.

    SWEET!!…I mean, theres really no point to FSN if there isn’t any sex in it…imagine my disappointment and nights of crying when I watched the entire anime and didn’t see a SINGLE scene of explicit sex…altho several of the scenes in the anime made it pretty obvious the the original was hentai…still great tho…
