| Hello, I would like to start playing visual novels where are the best places to get visual novels? |
 |
| Im a bit late but... http://gilheney.com/VNs/index.php?bot=[jp]VNs-English You'll need a IRC software and go to #/jp/ at irc.rizon.net |
| No better place than hongfire. That is, if you understand Japanese :D |
| Places to buy them: Places to download them: |

| Another company, apart from jlist, that localises visual novels is www.mangagamer.com (although they are quite struggling these days). Their VNs like DaCapo and Suika are really worth buying. So instead of downloading, if you have money, the best option is buying them and showing some support for the industry. |
| hongfire /jp/ |
 |
| That is sad that they are not enough places to buy them or download the independent releases. |
|
| Actually there are 2 places better than hongfire. One is darkeagle. Link: http://www.hacg.net/bbs/ and the other is 2DJGAME.net Link: https://bbs4.2djgame.net/ You need to understand Japanese since both these forums are in Japanese/Chinese, but I suppose you could navigate by randomly clicking around for a while.... |

| Those are actually both Chinese. There's a lot more Chinese sites like 2dgal and sumisora, but as I recall, there's a bunch of random hispanic and russian blos and websites that just randomly uploads eroge onto megaupload and mediafire |
| oh really? Well kanji is part of the Japanese language. It has Chinese but it also has a lot of Japanese. I just figured it was more a Japanese site. my bad |
| |
| http://exalpha-anime.blogspot.com/ Use the bar to the left to navigate, they have like.. at least 400 games, most games are in japanese, but they also provide AGTH and Atlas links (For translating japanese, not that good translations, but hey! You understand it) I've downloaded like 30 games there Btw, it's all uploaded on MegaUpload and Rapidshare :D |
| Insani. http://www.insani.org/ They translated Narcissu and True Remembrance, which where really good. |
 |
| Here is a download list of over 80 translated visual novels, patches, and walkthroughs. http://z10.invisionfree.com/Anime_Faction/index.php?showtopic=385&st=0#entry3969310 . |

| Surprised no one mentioned this one. This is if you wish to own the games legally. http://www.mangagamer.com/allages/ This is a link to the all ages section but there is also an adult section with english translated games like kirakira, shuffle, da capo, edelweiss, soul link, and in the very near future the visual novel based off of the romance of the three kingdoms (koihime musou and cosplay alien). Another is: http://www.nitroplususa.com/ a part of jast but a separate website by the people who created Phantom of Inferno (first game will be Demonbane). You can also search for eroge masters group somewhere on the net they had a large variety of games but I have since forgotten the website for their forum. You can also go to the visual novel database and they will let you know who is working on what and if you can get it. You can go to http://yandere.gray7.com/?p=155 they release games every now and then. Also on Cartoon World in the H section there are a couple of games as well. You can also try Sakura River Interactive a Canadian company that was just created that has begun to release visual novels (no h scenes, and no cgs, with a mediocre story but unique interfaces for there first one, they plan to update in the future) two of the best resources to find out about translated games are these two sites: http://vndb.org/r?q=&ma_m=0&ma_a=0&tp=&pa=0&fw=0&do=0&mi=&ma=99999999&ln=en&pl=win and http://visual-novels.net/vn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1001&Itemid=2 Here's a resource that I posted in a forum a few months ago. For the most part they are the same as the above but there is one or two different ones. Not to mention all the programs you may need to install the games on the computer. Below is anything you might need to know about downloading or installing an eroge or visual novel as well as where to get them. Programs/Materials you may need to download some of these games (try without first): Roxio Creator: http://www.toggle.com/lv/group/view/kl38513/Roxio_Easy_Media_Creator.htm IsoBuster: http://www.isobuster.com/ Daemon Tools: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/downloads Blank CD-R discs Common problem fixes: (for when downloaded but they just won't work) 1. On the game Wanko no Kurosu you must first open a media player of some sort and let it play for a few minutes then try opening the game. Click start from menu if nothing works keep audio media player open until you get a screen then you can exit out. 2. Some games require admin permission so right click and open with administrator to play. 3. Some games need to be set to a different program for example you may need to switch with properties to windows 98 or 2000 instead of the set thing. 4. Some games require a disc to play. 5. You may need to go to control panel and change the computer so it can read japanese. 6. ask me if you have any problems. Games for Free: http://forum.ecchi-squad.net/showthread.php?t=28 http://yandere.gray7.com/ List of current English fan translation patches: http://shii.org/translate/ List of websites to buy visual novels/eroge: http://www.peachprincess.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=PP http://www.g-collections.com/ http://www.milkyhouse.com/ http://www.nitroplususa.com/ http://www.jlist.com/ http://www.mangagamer.com/main/Titles/Catalog/1 To Buy in Japanese: http://www.erogeshop.com/ Visual Novel Database: http://vndb.org/ I've also tested a number of the links above and they are all great as well. These are just a few more (and some if not most are torrent not needed). hope this helps. |
| Thank you so much for all the websites. I have a lot to look at lol. If you know of more let me know. |
|
| Wow, big list of links seriously thanks for the links XD |
| HongFire and VNDB are the best for me =) |
 |
| The best bet is to buy (despite the many pirate sites I linked to). Paletweb and erogeshop are still the best places to get the original japanese games but both tend to be a bit expensive. A number of games are also on DLsite but they are there for a reason usually. |
| Thanks for the links! If you have any more reply to this. But I won't lie visual novels are very pricey to buy. |
|
| Thought I'd mention fuwanovel which just launched http://fuwanovel.org |
 Works at fuwanovel.org - site for sharing fan translated visual novels. |
| Yea, most of those sites don't seem to work anymore. |
 |
| Is there a website where we can download them in Japanese, with no translations? A site where there are all-ages and +18 VN I really wanted to buy Visual Novel, but in the country where I live that's kinda impossible, because of the money and etc But I do plan to buy them once I start living in Japan. |
