MangaGamer have announced the imminent availability of their latest English language eroge title “Magical Teacher,” a game unsurprisingly focusing on the sexual adventures of a protagonist under magical tutelage, and are also intent on providing some free copies to Sankaku Complex denizens.
Those interested in netting a free copy are in luck – MangaGamer is giving away 5 copies to Sankaku Complex users. Hopefuls need only send their MangaGamer username (new registrations can be made here) and email address to this address to have a shot at them. The cut-off for entries is the 6th of April.
It's because the game was released in fucking 2006..
Sadly the western eroge market does stuff like this that they can get super cheap and easily instead of trying to get the rights to something good like Rance or games from Eushully...
To be fair you can give Rance game some of the best conquest gameplay known to the PC gaming world, but it's just not going to get positive exposure when you literally run around the country raping every woman you come across.
That and VNs are just hands down easier to translate than extensive VN-with-battle-systems.
Indeed, why can't they pick something more decent as translation project?? Meh...
We owe these guy a lot since they are way smarter in picking eroge:
Taka-jun, for translating Sengoku Rance and Majokoi
Aroduc, for translating Kamidori Alchemy Meister
It's because too many people wanted to play without buying it. If everyone who had played the first game actually bought it, there may have been a better shot of getting it. Hell they didn't even release the official voice patch yet.
I wanna be the very best

our courage will put us through.
You teach me and I'll teach you
po-ke-mon!
Gotta catch'em all!
Gotta catch'em all!
POKEMON!

You've been such a good friend,
I've known you since I don't know when.
We've got lots of friends but they come and go.
Even though we've never said it,
There's something that the two of us both know:
Together forever, no matter how long -
From now until the end of time.
We'll be together, and you can be sure
That forever and a day,
That's how long we'll stay,
Together and forever more.
Hmmm... sign up for a chance at a free H-game, and get your name on an Official Pervert-List. Also included is a warrant to search your residence and two police officers. Wait, there's more... at no direct cost to you, free lodging in prison!
(You probably haven't "done anything", but you'll still be treated as "guilty".)
They don't necessarily chose the games they get to translate. They discuss the rights and whatever with the companies, and they only get to translate the games if the Japanese agree.
Looks like Key, Type-Moon, Giga and all the other big companies are not too hot about the English market.
oh please, they're more worried about FOX News producing more tabloid journalism about eroge titles than they are about how a poorly written eroge is translated.
@06:46 I've never played/read anything by Type-Moon that was poorly written. I don't blame them for not wanting to release their Eroge in North America. Especially considering how all of the idiots in the media reacted to Rapeplay. And it wasn't just FOX News going nuts with there tabloid bullshit, there were plenty of other News sites throwing a fit over it.
then release the pg console versions of the titles that already exist in japan? The media cant say anything about that. I doubt they would make much of the original fate stay night version regardless so the media card really isnt a good one my friend.
the main issue is that, while the english market is there, it has yet to find all that much success. The original japanese titles sell for 100 bucks and in localization here they get 30 max. If they go higher theyll hardly sell. The original creators naturally dont want their product to be dragged down that far in price. The market here is still small to begin with so they feel its not worth it as it wont make a whole lot of money. Theirs also worry that yeah itll be somehow lost in translation but I think that is more an excuse. Im happy to see nitro + take a step with demonbane, saya and hanachirasu. Hopefully, theyre at least mildly successful here.
@06:58 unless you play your VNs in Japanese, the quality depends mostly on the groups or company doing the localization. I've played games where the translations are so bad it made me quit and uninstall in about 5 minutes and sadly quite a few of them were done by Mangagamer.
Good thing too since we already have someone doing most of the Type-Moon fan translations anyways, and they happen to be pretty decient with thier VN and fighting game works (yes they even did the Melty Blood series).
The one guy has 2 dolphins! It looks sorta like the one where some guy kept getting killed over and over by a necromancer then loved and killed in some weird plot of land by the pictures.
Magical Teacher? Man, can't they properly translate even the title? It's written in pure, easy japanese - "The teacher is a witch"(Sensei wa Majo), or at least make it a little crappy, but hell, at least right, like "My teacher is a witch" or whatever.
Never gonna buy anything from those guys.
The art looks like crap.

Try convincing Alicesoft to like the western market cuz atm alicesoft no like western market that's why we don't have something good like rance.
To be fair you can give Rance game some of the best conquest gameplay known to the PC gaming world, but it's just not going to get positive exposure when you literally run around the country raping every woman you come across.

If only they translated "Shin Koihime Musou" instead of this crap.
It's because too many people wanted to play without buying it. If everyone who had played the first game actually bought it, there may have been a better shot of getting it. Hell they didn't even release the official voice patch yet.
Very avarage at best, but I've seen a lot worse in ero-VNs.
@cats2
And Fate Stay Night was released in 2004, plus it was a doujin game.
Your opinion is crap too, what can we do about it?

I'm more interested in catching a large breasted witch than an electric rat, thankyouverymuch.

or a "child raepist".
Because of picture number 2?
I wanna be a wizard!
You just want a second penis!
I want tentacles!
I know I do, cause I'd be the worlds more unique pornstar.
What about a futa with cock, balls and pussy? LOL
Don't worry!! You are well on your way to becoming a mage, Sankaku user!!
#8 TWO DICKS ?!
This looks like crap. Sorry, but Mangagamer amazes me for translating some really shitty games instead of going for hits.
They don't necessarily chose the games they get to translate. They discuss the rights and whatever with the companies, and they only get to translate the games if the Japanese agree.
Looks like Key, Type-Moon, Giga and all the other big companies are not too hot about the English market.
and with good motives. Kinoku Nasu fears how much of his work is loosed in translation, for example.
oh please, they're more worried about FOX News producing more tabloid journalism about eroge titles than they are about how a poorly written eroge is translated.

How does one grow another dick?
one of your finger may help you..
you can add up to 10 penis
I'm impressed! That's a whole lot of art-fail going on there. I'm guessing these are carefully selected sampling of the worst of them?
Magical Teacher? Man, can't they properly translate even the title? It's written in pure, easy japanese - "The teacher is a witch"(Sensei wa Majo), or at least make it a little crappy, but hell, at least right, like "My teacher is a witch" or whatever.

Same fucking thing, practically.
That man has two Penises...
I seriously bet mangagamers themselves tried to uncensor it rather than obtaining the originals.
Meat banana....
so this on ps3 does it have a platinum?
"you watch hentai?"
"nah i platinum that shit"
PENISES DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT
Mangagamer, why picking up these crappy generic H-titles? There are so many good ones with awesome stories that you should be trying to bring... ^^'
that picture 008
is that double pe**s!? 0.o
That guy is like Nightcrawler he has two wangs.
the irony is pc will never become a wizard
Liquid did better
Rubbish after rubbish.
