A DS game for the popular franchise of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, titled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna, will be released June 26 this year. The game will sell for 3,800 yen (about 35 USD) and the price for a special edition version has not been announced yet. The game will be for one player.

Along with the Onikakushi, Watanagashi and Tatarigoroshi arcs, the first in the series of four Higurashi DS games will also feature an original arc, Someutsushi. All of the other games in the series will feature two original arcs each, but their names are not yet known.

Sorry about the lack of information. The sites that had the best info were all in Japanese, and my Japanese fails pretty hard. If anybody who knows Japanese would like to contribute to what I gathered, feel free.

So I'm guessing it's going to be like one of those Hack-n-Slash adventure types right?

I'd be more excited if it had a snowball's chance in Hell of being released in the states.

Oh, and owning a DS would help, too XD

Seconded. Maybe in like 5 years, you know, by the time the DS is old crap. Maybe if somebody licenses Kai, there is a slight chance, based on its popularity in the US, of the game coming over. But..... I really doubt it.

While it doesn't have a the greatest chance ever to come out in the U.S. the genre is pretty popular in the DS with games like Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, and other adventure type games. If the anime comes back out in the U.S. I could see it having some chance based on the those factors.

My friend translated a page for me about what comes with the Limited Edition. The stuff in parentheses are comments he added himself.

"The special edition comes with a box to store all 4 games, much like an anime collectors box.
Also, it comes with the Sonozaki Family Collectors Can, which contains:
The Unhappy Trump Card: Until forever it's important
Watanagashi Cleaner: Let's absorb the bad stuff with cotton
Curry Eraser: Does Chie-Sensei consent too?
Mini Calender: Summer is when the Higurashi cry...
Kyuuute Accessory Case: Put your DS in here. "Omochikaeri!" (Oh, and I spelled it "Kyuuute" because it says "Kaaii" in the original Japanese, which is Rena's strange way of saying "Cute", which should be "Kawaii".)
Substitution Memo book: I wonder who on earth's book this is... (The kanji either says Substitution, Sacraficial, or Scapegoat. All 3 work pretty well to describe Keiichi's memo from Onikakushi, neh?)
Warning Sticker: If you don't listen to our warning, you'll suffer a cruel reptentence. (They show a yellow sticker like a street crossing sign, showing Rena chasing Keiichi with a cleaver, denoting: "Frequent Rena Appearance Warning")"

And if you pre-order the game, you get a syringe-shaped pen.

There is actually a dub on the first season of Higurashi licensed by Genon. Also, the resono why the Higurashi games will (most likely) never make it overseas is due to the fact that because the Higurashi games are rated +18, that would mean that Sony would have to release the Higurashi games as AO which is no longer produced in the U.S. As for the DS Higurashi games, they need to be licensed and translated and all that other stuff.

The PC games are being translated as we speak and the Alchemist remakes of the Higurashi games are not rated 18+.

A = All Ages (E/Everyone)
B = 12+ (T/Teen)
C = 15+ (T/Teen - M/Mature)
D = 17+ (M/Mature)
Z = 18+ (AO/Adults Only)

The Higurashi titles are rated D.

I have the special edition of Kizuna vol. 1 and I must say that it's great -- but skip it if you're not interested in learning Japanese.
