Board 8 > A very good LP of a Japanese-only game ("Phoenix Wright meets Battle Royale")

The game is called "Dangan Ronpa". The LPer, orenroren, is translating it as he LPs the game and it's just very cool. The plot is great. I don't want to give too much away, but basically, 15 extremely talented/celebrity-like high schoolers have a decision to either live in a secluded high school for the rest of their life or kill each other in order to escape. Oh yeah, and there's also a "masochistic teddy bear with Doraemon's voice".

All the updates are in the first post of the topic, but you could also read the rest of the thread. It has a lot of speculation since pretty much nobody in the US even knows the game existed until the LP. Plus, there's some cool stuff like fanart that orenroren posts throughout the thread.

I started to read this yesterday. I'm halfway done catching up with the LP, but it's a pretty great game.

I want this game.

Just finished Chapter 1. Good GOD that was amazing.

Is he only halfway through Chapter 2? I'd rather not start it if he's not fully done LP'ing it.

Yeah, only halfway through Chapter 2 as of right now.

He's just about to start Part 2 of Chapter 2.

Are you sure you aren't mistaking the time he registered his SA account with that? >.>

Also, just got to the part on the thread where the dumb English major rants about gender issues CLEARLY METAPHORICALLY REPRESENTED. What the hell is wrong with that guy?

Well now, you would be correct.

How have I not noticed this about SA forums before?

Common mistake! I still screw that up sometimes.

I only just read the prologue, but this looks quite interesting. I'll definitely have to follow it.

Well, in the first place he seems to believe Naegi is a girl for some reason...

The worst part is that he elaborates on why he thinks Naegi is a girl. And it's dumb.

It's too bad this game was never localized for North America. I feel like it could have been a success the same way 999 was.

Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

Because the gameplay wouldn't translate well at all thanks to the "bullet evidence" thing they have going on.

Better hope there's a fantranslation effort one day! Of course, you'll also need to emulate the PSP game.

Actually, a user is putting in orenroren's translation and, surprisingly enough, when the words on screen became English, the hitboxes transformed to fit the English size.

The reason it's probably not gonna get translated is probably because:

1. Probably as very low market, due to being a PW-esque game on a PSP.
2. Bunch of Japanese culture that's hard to localize.
3. Probably not a big enough localizing company to do all of this.
