[Miko Miko]

Its a link to a GBA thing.
It doesn't work for me but i was wondering is it a GBA version of the same PS2 Game???

[GyroidFanatic]

Looks like nothing more than a fan-made GBA-based OST

EDIT: After looking a bit more on other boards, it looks like there's more to it than that

The official site of Matsuri has been updatere, and we got the following picture

Arigato (140397 copies sold maybe ?), and "Kakera Musubi"... well what is this? A fandisk?

[SeventhHS]

Isn't that "Kakera Asobi", rather?

Sounds like a rerelease of the game with a few changes

[SeventhHS]

I found a list of changes posted on several blogs:

• Character names are displayed on the text frame, and characters are visible while talking.
• Keiichi now has voice acting in the first half.
• New TIPS have been added and existing ones changed.
• "Otsukaresama" added after scenario clear.
• Many inconsistencies and typos fixed.
• Opening movie and "Miotsukushi-hen" opening movie refined.

If that's all there is to it, it seems like a fairly trivial set of things to release an append disc over...
However, I did find a more interesting claim on one blog:

Spoiler:

• "Tanashi Miyoko" will be featured on a grand scale.

[chrno_the_sinner]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't get it when it came out then. I'll definitely have to pick this up.

[MarthX]

If only they'd include an option to have the text in English.

Ha ha. A man can dream.

[Rias]

I wonder if they are going to include the mini games too...

Really, it just seems like most thigns they added on are things that should've been in the PS2 version to begin with (ie Keiichi's voice in 1st half, voices in TIPS, otsukaresama-kai)

Kakera Musubi is a debateable cut, but of course it wouldn't hurt to put it back in.

I wonder if this was just a marketing plot, or they are trying to make up the mistakes (and please the fans) of the 1st version...I guess they did pushed the game too early, as they were trying too hard to release it on double nii-nii day

[SeventhHS]

Sadly, they haven't yet announced any plans for the part that most needs fixing: the music!

I wonder if dai and the others didn't want their scores reused/rearranged in the commercial endeavors of Higurashi, or it's just that no one has even contacted them about the possibility...

[MrZombie]

Ah damn it. Any idea if the old Matsuri save files will be compatible with the new? I mean I've just gone through three chapters so far.

[Rias]

It should be okay, since they are making 2 versions. One is for people who bought the game before, so it would be like an addon pack. One is the whole fixed game that you can play even if you don't have the first game.

[HashiriyaR32]

Is Mion still missing her pistol? Here's another reason why: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov's_Gun

[Rias]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Mion actually did use her gun once in Hirukowashi-hen.

As for Matsuri, the character designer already expressed why the hand gun was removed in the PS2 version.

[Rias]

The song "You" will be featured in the game now...Yukino Satsuki version.

Miotsukushi-hen's New opening makes Hanyuu look evil

Spoiler for Miotsukushi-hen:

I wonder if it will still have Takano shooting and killing Hanyuu

[Roll]

Hi. Hey, I would like to know a little more about miotsukushi-hen, not only the spoilerless telling that you find at wikipedia... If someone can pm me a telling of that arc and the others of the game, I would be very grateful with him/her for the rest of his/her life :3... I really want to know what happens there and how is the ending...

PS: Don't worry about spoilers! I really don't care... (If you PM me, of course, if you decide to post here, don't forget the always useful spoiler tag ; D)

[Joachim]

wait... so reason why hanyuu didnt appear in miotsukushi-hen is because... takano err well, please someone do tell me = (

3. Watanagashi is available from 2nd playthrough
4. Watanagashi opens up Meakashi. Tatarigoroshi probably requires Onikakushi + Watanagashi read
5. Meakashi opens Tsukiotoshi
6. Tsukiotoshi opens Tsumihoroboshi, which in turn opens Minagoroshi. After Minagoroshi, the new ending Miotsukushi is available.

How to enter each chapter:
Some are pretty obvious, selecting main characters other than Keiichi will definitely make you go into its own chapter. It also should be pretty obvious as to which partner you should choose to enter each chapter. A digest version for Keiichi start:

Taraimawashi - Just don't do anything that would make you go into other chapters.
Onikakushi - Go treasure hunting with Rena. Ask if Shion also heard the footsteps.
Watanagashi - Give the doll to Rena.???
Tatarigoroshi- Go shopping with Rika and Satoko. Select options that makes you more like a big brother to her.
Tsukiotoshi - I don't remember the exact selections, but go along the lines that would push both Rena and Shion into insanity. Also go along the Tatarigoroshi-hen route to trigger a crucial event. (By this time you should know what kind of selections or events would result in what)
Tsumihoroboshi-hen - Similar to Onikakushi-hen, but try to mention things that are/used to be problems for Rena.

Hi! Emm, I'm playing Higurashi Matsuri right now, have already passed through Onikakushi-hen and Taraimawashi-hen, and when I tried to enter to Watanagashi-hen giving the doll to Rena, nothing happened, but the arc continued like nothing, and ended suddenly, without entering Watanagashi-hen, or any especific arc. What am I doing wrong? I have to enter there from Taraimawashi, or do I have to enter Onikakushi and wait for the option to give the doll to Rena appears? Someone, please help.
