The Games of Haruhi Suzumiya
 

Tried to post this in the Older Series forum but couldn't so, I guess the mods will move this over like the Code Geass thread :D

The adventure game (i.e. visual novel), which will be developed by Bandai, will be set for sometime this year and is currently called, "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu" (working name). The company also claims that it will not just be the usual ADV game because it will include "a new system and elements that will be tried out for the first time in consumer games."

No real details about what the game will contain but you can find out more in the following magazines:

The Smeeker (June 30th)
Computiq, Monthly Shonen Ace Assault, Newtype (July 10th)
Dengeki PS (July 13th)

Official site is due to open on July 10th.

Opening text says:

Haruhi:
"Hey Kyon! I need to talk to you! Come over here!"

Kyon:"...What is it this time?"

Haruhi:
"Listen and be amazed!"

"The activities of our great SOS Dan has been recognised and a decision has been made to put them into a game!"

"Just look at this for now!"

Kyon:
"Man... Well, go have a look please."

Dating sim? Probably but now there will be all those "if" endings.

Ds
 

Wish it was going to be on the DS....

They probably want to go for the best visual experience possible and that's why they chose PSP. Not to mention it has a bigger ADV dating sim fan base which makes you wonder if the game will really be a dating sim...

Since the thread titles been changed from "PSP" to "Games of", I might as well point people to the two fan made Ace Attorney style PC games too :p

Shouldn't this be in the game thread... I know this is based on a older series anime but it's actually still news about a psp game.

Game thread? It is in a game thread.

Do you mean "Should this thread be in the Games forum" then the answer is no since it's about a series that has its own sub-forum.

I see... it makes sense.

I was just taking into consideration that the gaming community should be informed of the new game in development, instead of being hidden away in a sub-forum of an anime.

But I guess fans of the anime will stumble upon it.

True, but we are an anime forum not a games forum after all :)

But feel free to make a post in an appropriate PSP thread located in the Games forum if you so wish. Just point any possible discussion to this thread ;)

I read about this yesterday on Kotaku and had a feeling it would probably be an ADV (As that would make it most accessible to the Otaku market that enjoys Dating Sims and what not). It seems I was right, but I'm a bit curious to hear what this mystery gameplay element is. I don't plan on buying it once it comes to North America (Which it will, don't people be worrying about that), but we'll surely see some clips on Youtube at some point. What would be potentially upsetting to even a person who doesn't plan to play is a lack of a Kyon-Imouto route.

YAY A HARUHI GAME!

Although I prefer it to be on the DS.

fan made game, but looks like a possibility about what this new Haruhi game might look like.
ENJOY!!:)

That resembles Powerstone.

My guesstimation is that it'll end up being like Tales of World, a nice RPG ADV game.

dang, i read this thread and i thought it was gonna be a discussion on the different games played in haruhi...but hey, a haruhi game is coming out.

yea I'm predicting something like that based on the "Haruhi Theatre" short chapter that they did a while ago about the S.O.S brigade being in an RPG world.

Which episode is that? I've still to watch the whole series :heh:

That was never animated, although it'd be very interesting to see. I'm in support of seeing a scenario like that in whatever media form we can get.

Ah... So does that mean it was in the novel then? If so, which volume?

Actually not in the novel volumes either. I think it was published in the magazine though. We're off topic, so ask in the novel translation thread.

They probably want to go for the best visual experience possible and that's why they chose PSP

Yeah, I almost died laughing.

I can only hope that namco is able to redeem the game some what.

New again
with the PSP Game
We will have the PS2 Game too! ;)

French News yes... But according to the News
The PS2 game will be released on January 2008 and it will be an Adventure Game just like the Digital Comic... The Images are in the Last Famitsu Magazine...

.....what kind of costume is Haruhi wearing? :heh:

I suspect that it's the Haruhi Theater Part 1 costume...
