Well that's a huge shame

. Especially after the amount of hype surrounding the cover.

The question a lot of us wanted to know is kind of answered. What's Behind Vincent's Head in the Naughty Catherine Stand?

There's also a video showing Meijin Gotou, the planner for the game playing the first level on time attack mode.

Even though it's apparently impossibly hard, Catherine is at the top of the charts.

Crimrui · 2011-02-23, 17:31

Anyone can confirm on that multiple choices and endings thingy? People around the net were talking that choices effect the whole game, so I hope it's not just the last ending sequence being different.

To give Atlus credit, they also ran a very good promotional campaign. If they can convince a casual non-Japanese gamer like me to buy it then they can convince anyone

I wouldn't mind betting that a large chunk of those 140K sales were pre-orders. It'll be interesting to see what the Week 2 figures look like.

I haven't played through it enough to say for sure, but the game certainly keeps reminding you of the choices you've made - an onscreen dial pops up showing how much you're leaning towards Katherine or Catherine, not just at decision points but in other scenes too. Maybe the latter appearances signify branch-points in the storyline?

Disclaimer: my Japanese is pretty weak, so take what I say with a large grain of salt. I might have this all completely wrong...

So the game go all the way up to stage 9?
To think that the boss at stage 6 cost me more than 1 hour on easy, maybe I really suck at puzzle game.

I've played the demo sometime ago, and Catherine looks nice. There's a woman with a HUGE afro hair. She's the hostess of a show, because it looks like the story in the game is presented like it were a movie. But the puzzles really look like they can get quite hard in the later stages.

Leo Keichi · 2011-02-23, 22:31

It must be the true affair ending.

This game actually represent the Guy's mind about his fear to make commitment. He sleep with woman and just want the hole but not willing to take responsibility. He's disgusting in many ways. A true Coward if I may say so.

In this world, all come with Tao rules, Balance is absolute.
You can't gain something without sacrificed something equals.
In case you cheating, you'll be punished severely.

This guy try to enjoy woman body but didn't want to married her, as expected of coward, then monster start to appear.
Those monster have meaning as part of the guy fear about marriage
giant woman hand from dark ceiling
represent his wife restriction to him, to flirt with other women
huge monstrous baby called him father
responsibility to take care, feed, and protect his offspring
never ending stair
a time he must spent with same women till the end of his life/marriage

Look like the ancient Women-Men Mind War from the past already reach the game world now huh? aahahahahahha May be MEN will not survive this time!

Catherine Hint Videos at the Official Site

Interesting. I'll check them out once the game arrives. Also this made me laugh.

(By the way, I'd suggest making sure you have headphones plugged in before opening the videos... the site makes some sounds that could be misconstrued.)
