I predict the following things for 2010

A total of 60 to 80 visual novels will be released by a combination of official releases and fan translations, roughly twice the number as 2009.
MangaGamer will get a Partnership with 1 or 2 of the following, Leaf, Giga, and Black CYC.
In addition, they will get the rights to the Infinity series, so that they can have a steady supply of games for their all age site.
2 more Navel titles will be released by the end of the year, the two Shuffle Sequels.
They will announce they have Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai before the end of the year.
Dear Drops will be out in English within 6 weeks of it's release in Japan.
Shin Koihime Musou will be released in the Fall.
A Parfait ~Chocolat Second Brew~ project will start, but it may be stopped if Giga goes to MangaGamer.
Jast will announce Saya no Uta and SuMaGa at AX 2010, though they will only have Demonbane (early summer), Jingai Makyou (mid fall), and Nitro Royale (winter) released in 2010.
As an extra for Saya no Uta, the beginning of the English comic adaption will be included as a bonus.
Jast will announce more sex romps on top of that, however they will not announce any new big partnership.
At least one major anime fansubbing group will pick up some popular eroge, such as 11Eyes, because of a lack of anime to sub.

God damn field limit, to continue next post

Alright, allow me to make a prediction then

Girls Work will not be released in Japan this year.
Tsukihime Remake will not be released either
However, some serious translator will get involved with F/HA, and that will see a messy, but complete, release this year.

Although I believe there will be a higher demand for visual novels, I doubt that ~75 VNs will be released because the new VN audience won't have enough Japanese-English speakers to translate these games.

If this time last year I said.

Cross Channel will be translated within a 4 month period during the summer
Sharin no Kuni will be translated
Jast will get a partnership with Nitro Plus
MangaGamer will pick up a partnership with Navel and have two games out by the end of the year. They also will pick up Higurashi and have half of it released this year.
We will have more than 30 releases
Symphonic Rain will be almost finished
etc...
You would have said the exact same thing.

Add Liar-Soft.

Personally I predict early 2011 release.

Extra and Unlimited, yes. But half of Alternative? No way.
>Narcissu 2 will not be released.
It will be released, either through original group or by some generous soul who doesn't want to wait anymore.

Also this:
Quartett will be released.

I really want to deny this, considering Tsukihime's 10th anniversary is December of this year, leaving them plenty of time to shovel it out. But part of me knows it to be true.

Some Nitroplus stuff:

New Nitro Royale will be released, with updated graphics and new characters. But, it will still be unbalanced as shit.
Chaos;Head Love Chu-Chu becomes a great take on each and every eroge cliche, but no one reads it because of 360.
Dogura Q becomes one of the greatest Nitroplus titles to date.
Nitroplus shows even more support for the Western community by webcasting new Steins;Gate series with English subtitles.

So what is up with the 3d images within that pic?

Or something else?

>>4057146
This. The only new people I see who became interested in VNs are animufags who think they're cool because of that. Those won't translate shit for us, when they even have problems with the english language.
Though I'm optimistic, because I can predict an increase in the "translation on demand" scene. I hope jobless translators, who are not interested in VNs, will show up and translate stuff for us in exchange of commission, which will be paid by those newcomers.

>>4057563
To be perfectly honest, 07exp and N+ should switch places, I just messed up.
I thought of One Piece and 07exp because of the somewhat serious nature of the works and cause of the ridiculous theories around the works.
N+ just seemed to fit more with Bleach but on second thought I am not sure, but considering how I don't think that TM's stuff fit Bleach more than Naruto it isn't that weird.

shamelessly trolling, followed by a serious explanation of the troll post itself

I think it works though. Maybe I don't have a good grasp on it, but it seems to me that both bases think they're better then the others because of they're more "serious deep" and have "better quality".
And they're a bit more secluded in that they tend not to overlap with the other bases as much as they do.

If I am remembering correctly, wasn't their talks between them and Jast, but it fell apart since Giga would only allow mosaic releases

[Anonymous No.]

>Giga would only allow mosaic releases
Do they have some weird sense of morals or what, really?

[Anonymous No.]

I mean, they shouldn't not profit from it right? So what is stopping them?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4058216
Said talks were right after the RapeLay incident

[Anonymous No.]

>>4058512
But isn't the concept of rape a problem itself (*cough*If one applies standard real life morals onto fiction*cough*)
Their mosaics however are really stupid, it barely hides anything and doesn't make that much of a difference.
If it really did censor stuff properly then I might understand it considering morals etc, but as it is I can't really see it as anything other than leftovers from a time with very restrictive laws resulting in many "holes" being exploited which in intself affected the country's ethics/morals and might have been a bit ahrd to get rid of later.
A company like this should have profit as their main concern I guess, as long as they really don't actualy see it as an immoral act not to have mosaics as apposed to having it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4058578
For them, they see a risk of foreign intervention into their domestic market. Same reason that many companies now actively block foreigners. They have survived just with the domestic market, so even if the foreign market from a business look is in theory only profit (as the foreign companies take on the risk), they are concerned about causing an international issue that forces restrictions on their home market.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4058622
Well I did understand that, but it still feels somewhat stupid, I mean people surely doesn't react like this out west
"Young drawn people having sex, hmm... I don't like it but at least it's censored"(Though it barely is) And "Oh god, they are having sex! And it IS NOT censored in the slightest!! So I can now see the details a bit more clearily than before even though there barely is any difference at all, I can't tollerate this!"

It feels to me as if they are afraid of unnecessary things, I mean is it not more likely that their works either are going to be accepted as they are or not, and the mosaics should barely matter.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4058685
Perhaps there was discussion, then the RapeLay incident, and they used Jast's unwillingness to release mosaic games as a way out of talks.

Black cyc had actually considered formal releases in English? This in itself is surprising to me, even if it was before EN started destroying freedom.

And anyone generalizing someone who likes Nitro+ titles is a fucking idiot. Gekkou, Sumaga, and Hello World were fucking amazing, and your a fool for hating them based off some ridiculous stereotype that you decided to dream up.
