Type-Moon's 'Witch On The Holy Night' Receives Western Release In December

Nice! Need to make sure there is nothing funky about the translation before deciding for certain if I'm getting it, but I'm interested

Hell yes.. Day one physical for me! Hopefully now they'll finally localize Tsukihime!

@CowCatcher LOL is about all I can say. Apparently you haven't played Island, The Grisaia Trilogy, The House in Fata Morgana, If My Heart Had Wings or Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue.

I keep my Japanese pre-order anyhow, zero trust in Aniplex releasing a physical over here.

(for people that don't know, 99% of the time Aniplex acts like Europe doesn't even exist)

@CowCatcher There are some VNs with wonky translations indeed, but the more known titles don't have that issue.

But again I understand, I played a ton of VNs on PC and there is a ton of those there translated by some chinese company with Google translate, but they are easy to recognise.

Some of them did come to the Switch too, I tend to avoid them for multiple reasons, mostly the translation but also most of the chinese translated ones tend to be crap story wise anyhow.

This one is interesting, i really got a bit tired of fate/ already so now i am curious what their other works are like

@JustMonika to be fair to @CowCatcher, there are VNs with suspicious translation choices. You mentioned House in Fata Morgana for example, that one has that line where tsundere was translated fragile male ego.

Then there are Moenovel, the translator of the "18+ version" of If my heart had wings that censored it down because they want their games to be suitable for 12yo french girls

I agree there are a lot of good VNs, but there is no denying that some have funky translation choices. (And bad translations are not exclusive to VNs either)

Oh nice, been waiting for Type Moon to do a localized VN of theirs.

Now do Fate and Tsukihime, you cowards.

I'm hoping to play this on my Switch Pro before the end of the year, but either way I'm getting it.

Please tell me it does not have out of place awful sex scenes like other Type Moon games.

@SigmaNoire This one is sex-scene free - ever since the censored version of F/SN came out in '07 they've felt the need to drop the eroge aspect of their games to become a bit more legitimate in the public eye

@SigmaNoire free tip

Sex scenes are a 100% no go on consoles.

So for people that avoid them, consoles are safe.

As for PC, often you need a patch because games sold and Steam and so on don't have them most of the time to begin with.

I'll keep an eye on this. Looks fun!

That's cool. It'll probably end up in the backlog, though. Still need to get through the Zero Escape games, the Phoenix Wright games, the semicolon anthology, Famicom Detective Club, original Fate, and Umineko before I can get to the more off-beat VNs.

@Tobiaku The only thing that offends me about the Switch visual novels I own and have played is the lack of dabonkers and H scenes which is why I have a laptop coming in tomorrow specifically for 18+ eroge. I've already purchased several in anticipation of getting the laptop such as The Grisaia Trilogy (Fruit, Labyrinth, Eden), Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue, Nekopara series, Making Lovers, Love Triangle Trouble, NinNinDays, NekoMiko and so forth. I bought all these from Jastusa and Denpasoft where there's no patching needed because they're already the 18+ versions from the start. Really wish I could find an 18+ version of If My Heart Had Wings without having to jump through hoops and install multiple patches to get it running properly because it's my favorite VN right behind Island.

@SigmaNoire Not on the Switch, lol. You know that would only be on PC right? The whole reason I'm having a laptop delivered tomorrow. This game in particular is all ages though so no need to worry, lol. No nudity or H scenes irregardless of platform.
