JAST USA has unveiled the deluxe collector’s edition of School Days HQ, featuring the English edition of the top anime eroge in completely uncensored high quality form, along with additional scenes and two exclusive items designed by Junji Goto (most notably an oppai mouse pad to provide some sure to be necessary wrist rest).
As befits a proper collector’s edition, an oppai mouse pad of yandere fiend Kotonoha and a yukkuri Makoto blob round out the package.
The game – in English, uncensored and entirely free of horrendous bugs – can be pre-ordered now, and anyone who might already have pre-ordered the non-collector’s edition may also yet correct their dire mistake now.
Must have!
Those bastards. They’re trying to take The U.S. down with them.
Leon. I’m glad you put Yandere Kotonoha in the side bar instead of just a generic image of the post.
Oh god why……..
Decapitated head and nice boat not included.
lol, how pathetic. they’re using a translation group’s translations to try and make money for themselves off of the product. how typical of a “localization” company (the same kinds of companies that raise the ages of scholgirls for “morals”).
and shame on “sancom” for trying to cash in on it as well by linking to jlist.
if you really want to support the product, which you should, then import the japanese version and just get the english patch separately for yourself.
Just how large is this “un-bugged” game? If it is truly unbugged and optimized ie. patch doesn’t take up 2 gigs, then it just might be worth it for the oppai pad.
THIS
sankaku complex has put their hand in with the devil (also known as “localization” companies)
60$?
…Where do the money trees grow again?
I had a nice long rant here about all this, but I just looked it up, and you’re actually completely wrong. According to Sekai Project’s website, JList *hired* them to bring the official translation over.
This is inherently a good thing as it supports localization efforts of eroge, it supports the Japanese producers, and it supports and legitimizes Sekai Project’s fan translation.
In short, if you really want to support the product, buy the licensed version when it comes out, and maybe we’ll start to see more than 0.1% of all eroges get an English release.
“According to Sekai Project’s website, JList *hired* them to bring the official translation over.”
and this makes anything better how?
buy the original japanese version to support the product, instead of this cheap localization knockoff that probably has increased ages amongst other american morals.
Original would be censored. Should we support that too?
So… You support products you like by not helping them when they come to you?
Who cares about the labeled age? When it’s just that it actually makes me laugh.
(Also, I’d love to buy the original, but it’s years late.)
Where can I get the HQ Collector’s Edition in Japanese? Does it even exist?
Fuck you. The dudes who worked on the localization were cool… Besides, patching it in English and getting the English version would be no different, y’dick. Same translators you silly billy.
Besides, English patch is un-finished, and is only for the original School Days.
12 years old.
Hmm… I have my doubts about this “fully uncensored”. I recall a past JAST USA title where they went with the same marketing slogan, but actually increased the clothing in a new CGs. Oh, the shitstorm…
The game was nothing worth of note, so the name hasn’t really stuck though.
Actually, this version is fully uncensored. Nothing has been changed.
Oppai mouse pads were the last thing on my mind when I did the survey on physical limited edition content… and just one of the girls..?
They’re trying too hard to please.
Well, they sure as hell pleased me!
The contents of the limited edition are enough for me to buy this. Not to mention the price is pretty good for this set. 🙂
So did they use Makoto’s original voice actor for this release or replace him with his anime voice actor? I would guess the latter since there are new scenes.
I didn’t even notice he had a different voice actor in the anime.
The uncensors in English versions always look hilarious. I can just imagine some guy in the localisation group being like, “hey, I can kinda draw, wanna make an uncensored version?”, and they just roll with it. The end result tends to end up somewhere between, “tacked on and unappealing”, to, “downright grotesque”.
Sometimes these things are better left to the imagination…
They don’t redraw, they use the originals. It’s just that the original artist usually mails it in on the genitals since they know it’s getting mosaic’ed and they figure it’s not worth the effort to draw them well. When the artist makes the effort (like in the Bible Black game) they generally look fine.
Madthad is crying…
Only $60, that isnt that expensive also
(not that im gonna buy it but i can image people who will)
I’m for more reasons than one i want to see how me making a wrong decision, influence me in the future 😀
I ordered it months back. Put in for the upgrade yesterday. I wanted the special box and the keyring, but…how much do you think I could get for the mousepad if I put that up on eBay or something?
Looks like it’s time to visit the piratebay
You wouldn’t download an oppai mouse pad.
Two scenes meaning two more horrible ways where they die?
Nice to know, but give us a damn release date.
can’t wait for DL
It will be a 12 gig download. We’ll offer it but a while after the package versions ship.
Alresdy pre-ordered months ago, but received an e-mail about up-grading to the collector’s Edition last night. Not worth it.
When you say English does that mean English dub too or just English text?
Usually you can change the settings
I can’t wait to fap to this
Do i see a yukkuri makoto there ?!
No nipples on Kotonoha oppai-pad?! I am disappoint’.
It would be great if you had the option to play any of the girls… each coming up with a different, fiendish way to eliminate asshole-Makoto.
Nice collectors version.
In reference to the boat. =p
MUST BUY KOTONOHA MOUSE PAD!!
You too, huh? You get an awesome game AND a Oppai-pad of Kotonoha.
It really is a win-win situation! XD
Finally! This one was worth importing!
Fully uc
Kokoro 🙂
You’re thinking of Summer Days.
They need to design a game that allows the user to manually change keywords like “college” to “Prinny land” and “18” to “1509”. It’ll be legal like Maxis and Bethesda are not responsible for the nude mods.
I think I hit a jackpot idea.
I hope the translation doesn’t treat them as being in College like in many erogames.
Even without Kokoro, the characters are in high school, so are they being conveyed as over 18 in this?
Ah then nice boats ^^
thanks for free game
This game would have been so much epic if the main male wasn’t such a huge dick.
That and the graphic bad endings were their gimmick, and it worked.
Aw but if he wasn’t, the nice boat meme wouldn’t have been born and it’s one of my favorites.
You know who won’t be able to enjoy this? Madthad!
Worst anime ending ever.
And that’s exactly how the anime earned it’s place on the Epic Anime list.
Now you can see everything in HD!
Including the ending!
Oh god the ending!
Noob! is HQ, not HD!
It’s HQ, not HD. The resolution is 800×450.
Oh god the ending! *licks lips in excitement*
another version of this shit?
I… see no shit anywhere. What the hell are you talking about?
