I hope what’s ever in that package has something for Jingai Makyou even a little. But the pessimist in me tells me we’ll get no news of the game’s progress for the rest of the year. Any sign that it’s moving is good enough for me.
Wasn’t Jingai Maikyou canceled because they coldn’t find a way to make it compatible with today’s computers?

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Give me my IGNIS back!![/b] :x
It wasn’t canceled it was put on ‘Hold’, same thing happened to Nitro+Royal.
They’ve mentioned that work will resume if/when Nitro+ releases a fixed edition in Japanese.
Based on the schedule of the re-releases they do at least 1 main title a year:
“Hello, world.” - 2008
Phantom - 2009
Saya - 2009
Demonbane - 2009
Lamento - 2010
Kikokugai (All Ages) - 2011
Togainu - 2012
So it looks like they’ll get to it eventually.
From what i can tell, titles released in 2007 and later seem to be safe which makes sense since Vista was released late 2006.
Of the pre-vista titles, the only ones without a Vista compatible version currently are:
Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia
Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu -Angelos Armas-
Jingai Makyou
Hanachirasu
Sabato Nabe -Nitro Amusement Disc-
Kishin Hishou Demonbane
Nitro+Royal
Since Hanachirasu hasn’t had a re-release, its theorized a re-release is being planned (possibly as the 2013 re-release) or that Nitro+ didn’t mind updating the game since its short anyway.
Look, I’m interested in Jingai Makyou too. But it will be years before it comes out over here, if ever. There aren’t going to be any signs that the game’s moving, because it isn’t. It hasn’t been cancelled, but it isn’t moving forward either.
For one, they’ve said they’re not announcing any new Nitroplus games before the already-announce ones release. And there are two more other than the ones that have been at 99% for a year and a half. So there’s no way any new Nitroplus games will be announced until late 2013 at the very earliest.
Funnily enough I most of those games and every single one works fine under Win 7 for me. I think the only thing the ‘Windows 7 compatible’ versions change is where they store the savedata- since the de facto place for installing software is Program Files and that’s a write-protected directory (under Vista/7) for non admins, you can’t really put savedata in the game directory. Because I (and I think a lot of people) don’t put my eroge in Program Files in the first place there’s no problem.
That said, I thought VirtualStore was supposed to solve the problem of legacy apps storing mutable data in the install dir, but maybe that doesn’t entirely work the way these engines were written.
The virtual storing stuff is unreliable under at least some versions, especially when it comes to trying to delete or replace files. I had Vista customers that I had to make custom gamebuilds for in new weird directories because their original directory was now populated by PHANTOM FILES that did not, as far as they could see, exist… they had been deleted and replaced or even just deleted… but the game still reacted to them being there.
This could easily lead you to corrupt savegames.
Haven’t had people with that problem in a long time, but I’ve also been designing games differently, so.
extra in the new blue-ray version of saya non uta http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2013/02/1 … -enticing/
You know that bandanna seriously looks almost exactly like the beef ravioli plate my old elementary school cafeteria served :shock: …and you want to know the real surprise? It actually tasted pretty good… :?
Here’s hoping that Saya no Uta is released by the time Narg gets back from Godknowswhereistania 
Still no news of Nitro+ titles for release? Demonbane has been the sole title for 2 years now. I still have a shred of hope that Jingai Makyou will released sometime in the future but I’m starting to feel like its a lost cause now. 8 years and counting since its Japan release. -_-
Maybe you should follow the j-list twitter.
Now why would I want to look there? I want translated Nitro+ games and not in their original Japanese format.
JAST, rather.
Finally! God knows it’s taken long enough …
Great, I’m looking forward to some Saya. Hopefully shipping before the end of spring.
I can’t assemble a large enough order on Rightstuf to get free shipping. How sad. Someone tell Peter to announce more vaporware so I can complete my order.
Try to live in Europe, then you can complain about Rightstuf shipping rates. ~_~
According to the latest VNTLS post, Sumaga is listed as:
Finally some progress…
Django is the only licensed Nitro+ title still in translation now.
