hey guys
i really enjoyed watching higurashi and have watched all the way till Rei.
so now im interested in playing teh original v/n, but i cant seem to find it

is there any way i can download the games in english>?
or is there a way where i can download the game in japanese and then put on english patches?
any info would be very welcome

Supposedly, an official english release of Higurashi is coming out this month sometime by mangagamer: http://www.mangagamer.com/main/

Alternatively, there is a fan translation project going on, but they've only finished the first arc 'Onikakushi'. Their website is here: http://sonozakifutagotachi.blogspot.com/

They also provide instructions on how to buy the game in japanese and apply the patch.

ohh icic.
hmm this mangagamer.com seems to only release hentai stuff
ive began playing onikakushi and its FANTASTIC I LOVE IT
and i really think i should buy that entire pacakage of the first four games, since taht sonozakifutagotachi.blogspot.com has a patch for the first four games package.
but is the mangagamer.com one the official one?

Yeah, they usually only release adult visual novels. That's why it was sort of a surprise when they announced that they were picking up Higurashi.

Both translations are "official" since Ryukishi07 has given the OK to both of them. However, mangagamer will probably translate the entire visual novel set faster than Mion/Shion can.

yeaaa
apparenly mangagamer is finishing all higurashi within this year

i thought mangagamer was supposed to release by October.
what is going on?

Delayed. New release date seems to be December 15th.

Oh, goddamnit.

wtf..sigh
