New info about remake from NeoGAF
Quote:
So, new info from Famitsu360!!
* The producer in charge of the remake is Ichikawa Kazuhiro, the producer of the original E17, as well of other Infinity Series works.
* They knew that changing the core of what made E17 would be a bad thing, so they kept the core the same.
* The scenario has been revised straight from the beginning
* Certain sections have been removed, and new sections have been added.
* Because of these changes, they were able to eliminate the dull/drawn out parts of the game.
* New routes and supplements.
* The background CGs and event CGs have all been redrawn. The scans show a picture comparing how a corridor looked in the original game, and how it looks in the remake... it now looks more modern and complex.
* Apparently all of the voice work has been redone/re-recorded as well
* The LE will cost a cool 9,240 yen (~$115 USD)
And apparently according to Tech Gian the game's release date is 6/30, though this has not yet been confirmed.

So it's not just a stick-on-extra-content remake, but a partial rewrite. I'm now looking forward to it even more, yet hoping that they don't go overboard!
I hope they didn't remove kick-the-can completely. I've heard many people say that it's too drawn out (which I somewhat agree with), but
