New Higurashi PSP game announced!
"Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Jan"
Once again it is a spin-off game in the series, and from what I can tell it seems you can participate in club games, and if you're the victor you can select desired punishment games. It's also possible the story progresses like the PC VN's did.
Also it's mostly animated which is very cool. The style looks new.
