Anyway, if it was the true ending why has it only been featured in the Matsuri version of Higurashi? The original, manga, anime and novelizations all used Matsuribayashi-hen. The reason Matsuri had a new ending was to give fans that owned the PC version an incentive to buy it.
Just a side note:

I've read in some blogs that the NDS version will feature both endings: Miotsukushi and Matsuribayashi. (in the last NDS game, that is)

Eh, we've already had about 3 solid pages on this thread about why/why not people should consider Miotsukushi-hen as a "true" ending. Most people can decided for themselves, but otherwise just accept Matsuribayashi as the default conclusion.

If you REALLY wanted to, you could compare this situation to the conclusion of the Eva series and the Eva movie.

Not really. Both were done by Anno and the events in both were the same. The only difference was the point of view.

Not true. That's the most accepted theory. I believe that both are two alternate endings. The only difference between the EVA case and the Higurashi case is that EoE is stated to be canon, that is until Rebuild 4.0 comes out.

I am damn sure the endings were different. The only contrast between our scenario and Eva's is that it has two official endings.

I'm pretty sure that Anno said that the only difference between the two was that you only saw Shinji's complementation in the series, whereas the movie also shows the outside events surrounding it.

You'll have to remind me of the parallels where he chokes Asuka....twice, where she's basically eaten by the other Evas, or where people are congratulating him.

The same events are meant to be happening in both, you just get to see a different fraction in each version.

With Higurashi...all the ends are "true"...from a certain point of view.

Just another roll of the dice, Hanyuu, if you please....

Except for the fact that Miostukushi-hen is incompatible with Matsuribayashi-hen and Saikoroshi-hen, so they cannot both be 'true'.

But they can both be awesome. To bad Matsuribayashi-hen wasted that opportunity by villain decaying the big bad and not making Keiichi to badass things that he was destined to do.

Like we said many times, you cannot deny the fact that Matsuribayashi-hen is the true ending. However, it's up to you to decide which one is the best.

Spoiler for Miotsukushi-hen:
By the way, why are you so much in favor of Miotsukushi-hen? I rather doubt that you have read it.

I've read a summary and I have a really big Higurashi fan friend who owns the game and told me about Miotsukushi-hen. And that is exactly why I like it so much. Keiichi is full of win and it has a better ending.

I don't know which ending trust. I just base myself on the fact this an Expension , and so an OVA for the Anime. But if i'd have to chose an ending. I'd choose the original one. Even if this one is more realistic. There's many visions about these two arcs:
- Miotsukushi-hen is the real world , where rika had "nothing" (not such friends, hanyuu , ect.. a simple and boring life)
- The entire higurashi is just the perfect world that rika dreams of , and the moral of all the game would be , "You must work to have".
But i don't believe in this at all =O

Anyway as for Bernkastel

Spoiler for some thoughs:

Got a few minor questions about this patch on page 4, this translate one of the chapters in the 9th game (Fan disc?) Is that what some mentioned here as the 'true end' ? to the story? I've pretty much only seen the game and played episode 1 as it was the only one translated since before.

In any event, is the chapter who was translated in that game coplete on it's own, and where does it kind of put itself if you have only watched the Anime will say. Is there more chapters in the 9th game?

Want to know before I decide to buy the game as well.
