News Caster Mariko

Doesn 't Peapri get more time ? I think PeaPri still needs much time for commercialising

When peaperi post the pre-order section, you should pre-order the game. This game will be fun. I will say this because I played the Japanese game that semilar to that game. Also, at the summary about the topic I can traslate. When they post on the pre-order section I will translate and put my web page or BBS. Make sure you pre-order the game.

Yeah, Einhancer told me to try avn, I will check that out today and ask if they can put a bishojo game section

OK, I don 't go to games or to adult sites much, so it would be helpful to help me out here so I could contact some sites.

Hmm… strange that no one have asked the million-dollar-question yet… well, then I’ll have to ask it . Ok… How many endings are there in News Caster Mariko?? And since it’s a “dark” game, are there any endings that could be considered happy or neutral or are all of the endings just “dark”??

So…the entire point of News Caster is to train someone to be a sex slave?

[shudders]

Alright. That’s good to know.

LOL nandemonai, I have my list too

I really hope there will be more bishojo horror games, like DiviDead for example.

Well, everyone have a list, I suppose... But then, again, there aren't many bishoujo games out there, so it isn't really much of a list, you know [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img]. And it isn't that often that new bishoujo games comes out here in West (and nowadays, 90% or so of the "new" bishojo games that we gets here in west are those that PeaPri offers)... Now, if this was Japan, It'd be another matter... We'd have REALLY long list of bishoujo games we wanted...

But to go back to the subject... The teen idol, Kaori, what kind of teen idol is she??

You mean there's different kinds of teen idols?!? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/redface.gif[/img]

While I don't particular like the idea of sex slaves as well, I will get the title. (Because I am PeaPri slave...er, ahem, where'd that come from?!? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] ) I mean, I really don't have the kind of fetish that W.C. deals with but I did buy it. (I even ended up reviewing it higher than X-Change.) I'm willing to try it out, also I know PeaPri is trying to expand the genre for Western audiences and I'm more or less curious as to what News Caster Mariko brings to the mix.

Kumiko thinks that "Kaorin" (Kaori-chan's nickname, of course) was originally doing commercials, but she doesn't recall for sure.


Thank you for the info [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]. So Kaori-chan thinks of Mariko as her idol partly because that she "helped" her to become popular? Or are there any other reasons for her viewing Mariko as her idol?? By the way... the main goal of the game is to turn Mariko into a sex slave, right? Then... what purpose does the other staff member serve, really? I mean... are they already sex slaves under the forces behind the strength of GUIL-TV's success, or does it also become your job to turn them into sex slaves "along the way", so to speak??

Hmm, I thought that Dokusen was a Guilty title, not a ruf title... were I wrong? Regardless, you're right about that... if it's THAT long, we'd certainly want to play it if it came out in English [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]... but, is Dokusen a multi-path, multi-ending game, then? Because if there's just one path in Dokusen, then no matter how long it was, fewer people would be interested in it, I think...

Yeah, if you see how many new games are released in japan at www.hobibox.com you would get nuts grr


Who is Kaori ?

Ok, I see... but that doesn't mean that you won't have some fun-fun with the other characters as well, right?? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

It has many choices in it as well as the simulation aspect - Dave E only played through the first time, but the Ending viewer shows 13 slots. So, probably 13 different endings... they are probably a bit different depending which perspdctive you are playing - that is, you may have only a handful of different endings, but the actual perspective causes the ending details to change because of the point of view being different. That's a guess, since he has not played through the other perspectives.

It isn't just long... it's well-designed and well-written. Tsumugi Inuyama confesses her love for you right at the beginning, the very first day. However, you have secretly had a crush on Yukino Takanashi who you've known for years... but unknown to you, Tsumugi-chan has had a crush on you since she first saw you as a first-year student. Now, unknown to either you or Tsumugi, Yukino-chan actually does love you... but like you, she hasn't been able to confess. Tsumugi-chan actually knows that you love Yukino-chan... but she confesses anyway, to try to win your heart. Now... (isn't this getting fun? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img] ) the other guy who is your rival, Kaoru Himegami, just so happens to have a crush on Tsumugi Inuyama! He's a nerdy Net user and electronic gadget geek, though, so of course he hasn't been able to approach such a cute and energetic girl - he has no self-confidence (and neither do you, for that matter.) He frequents hardcore sex sites online... including S&M sites.

Eventually, what happens is totally natural. Tsumugi-chan confesses to you the first day - you have to decide how to respond to her confession, considering her feelings as well as your own for Yukino-chan. Well... you decide to accept her, but your heart's not in it. However, this sparks a rather explosive and jealous reaction from Kaoru (you don't know how he feels about Tsumugi-chan, of course, and neither does she or anyone else.) Yukino-chan and you wind up having an argument about Tsumugi-chan... and you wind up with her. Well, your rival gets insanely jealous (as well as frustrated by his own inability to confess his own feelings for Tsumugi-chan) and decides to approach Yukino-chan instead, just to get even with you. He winds up training her as a sex slave. For your part, you start fairly mild with Tsumugi-chan, but soon wind up sort of using her affection for you as a substitute (a bit different from what your rival does, at least initially.) Your rival Kaoru winds up challenging you to a duel to train your respective girls the best, and whoever gets the most votes in an online voting site gets both girls. Now... before people lose their perspective, remember that (a) Tsumugi-chan confessed her love to you unbidden and agrees to your advances because she does actually love you, and because she is fully aware that you love Yukino-chan, and (b) Yukino-chan loves you but couldn't confess, and also cares for Tsumugi-chan... her other motivations will probably come out during her perspective. In addition, about halfway through the training, Tsumugi-chan and you become closer and closer as you begin to genuinely care for her and open your heart to her... and she detects that something is going on, and learns about the challenge going on. She agrees to it at that point, knowing full well what is entailed - basically, she places herself in your hands because she trusts that you will not abuse her but rather only help her to become more sexually proficient and skillful. Of course, you CAN abuse the girls... and their meters (there are 6 different stat meters in the game) will be effected depending on how you train them.

The ending Dave E played for was really terrific... terribly touching as well as being very erotic. Kumiko doesn't want to give spoilers, though - let's just say that there are many many choices during the game, plus the many simulation training periods, and even at the last moment you have a choice about how to respond to something that Tsumugi does.

This is a Ruf title... and one other problem may be that they may have lost the original CG (which would mean it could not be uncensored.)

(sigh... such a nice game, though...!)

Well, it sounds like a nice game [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]. But... how come that they may have lost the original CG's??? But if you at PeaPri could get Ruf to release it (with or without uncensored CG's), then I'd certainly buy it, even if some parts of the game sounds somewhat... weird [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Will I heard that too. They try to looking for the Draft on Mariko CGs. Will it is hard to redrawn. It will take time to do it. They have to make lot of Bishojo Games. Will if they find the draft, they don’t have to redrawn again. Ofcourse.

Will how goes the News Caster Mariko?

Yeagh your right. I ask you this because I still interst the News Caster Mariko.

Oh!? So that’s what it was… I’d been wondering got some time now what those new character sketches at Will’s page were…
