Enterprising 2ch investigators found that by manipulating their system time they could force the Strike Witches announcement countdown into revealing the future, in particular the important announcement promised, thought by fans to be the long awaited confirmation of a second season.
The shocking announcement’s contents?
“Strike Witches Game Title Decided!”
The “subtitle” to one of the game adaptations was left to be decided by fans in a competition some months ago; this is what they will be announcing. Fans now consider Gonzo a cheap knock-off of Kadokawa.
You can fiddle with the counter yourself on the site.
Fans are currently clutching at straws in the best tradition of Haruhi fans everywhere, wondering if somehow the “in-depth information” conceals details of the new season, or feverishly hoping that this is a jolly jape played on them by Gonzo, who will switch the SWF counter with the real one on the day of the announcement.
Should this prove to be the final announcement, fans can at least take solace in the fact that three quarters of Gonzo are already due to be sacked.
Doubtless many would prefer the same fate to befall Kadokawa too… It would appear Gonzo employees are in the mean time angling for jobs with Kadokawa, for they certainly display mastery of the Haruhi style hyping fans have come to loath.
You never know, guys, maybe they actually think this is big news. If the name of the new game was actually decided by a contest, Gonzo might think revealing the winner is incredibly exciting.
gonzo shouldnt have the balls to toy with its fans with a countdown timer now lest they realy want to go out of buisness
haha, too bad SW fans. You have to wait like us Haruhi fans and feel PAIN! XD
im guess the 30% that was both haruhi and strike witches have already commited suicide if they did this with eva and gundam i know i would.
There is no way that the client side system clock would change what the website displays
TROLL
Save to PC, open from there, and change the system clock. That’s how it works.
There is one for DS which is played like a Strategy game while the other is PS2 more like visual novel.
I think there is a article on this sometimes back
