The Haruhi DS game previously forecasted for release last year has finally been released, no doubt timed to coincide with the the start of the second season.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu (The Series of Haruhi Suzumiya) is a standard anime tie-in adventure game, interspersing visual novel scenes with various DS-style minigames.

These scans from our original post last year provide a good glimpse of the game for the curious:

Akiba Blog helpfully provides these photos of the new game displays in Gamers and Asobit Game City:

A series of the game’s promotional videos can be seen here:

The Serial of Haruhi Suzumiya is available now for just under $50.

Haruhi game sales for several titles, most notably the much hyped Gekidou, have started to collapse, though this was before the start of a new series became evident. It will be interesting to see whether they now recover.

An official, translated version of the game for the international market can be expected shortly, after pigs learn to fly and just before Clamp finishes X/1999.

    If i knew doing such things would attract presupposed anonymous Weaboo accusations on the interwebs, I'd have chosen a different interest...

    Yeah the release of the new episodes may have an impact after all, but let's just wait and see whether or not fans have moved on from Haruhi to Mio then to Azusa.

    I have been into anime for too long and I completely lost interest on hyper long stories like x/1999, last time someone said X manga had ended.

    OMFG! You are right and wiki seconds that! this is an insult to any loyal reader, I mean, manga and anime seem to be decaying in this subject, instead of a whole bunch of new sagas we have these kilometric-prone-to-never-ending stories like Inuyasha (finished at least), Naruto, etc.

    5 haruhi games in all, played them all. Trnaslating is my profession.

    The best 2 are the psp one and the 2nd wii one (one on the ship), because they're both fully voiced interactive stories.

    The ps2 one was a pile of shit, kyon's dialogue wasn't even voiced. The whole game developing process was just tedious and boring.

    First wii game was naff, boring dance game with shitty additional mini games thrown in.

    New ds game is okay but not finished it yet.

    Kinda late to me. There should be articles for maybe Gyakuten Kenji and Kingdom Hearts DS too :P
    Been playing both for a while, and they were released after Haruhi DS. My guess is some stuff is backlogged, even the K-On article appeared after the ep was already subtitled.

    Haruhi should star in a 'BishiBashi' type game, as she is so random.

    Really, what the hell is wrong with Nagato in the cover art?

    It's like the artist drew her on almost the same scale as Mikuru, but she's way further back, making her look huge. She's a giant that dwarfs Koizumi. Or something.

    The heck.
