I only found out that AquaPlus decided to refurbish the game and port it to the PS3 by buying Tears to Tiara Gaiden: Avalon no Nazo and there was a little slip of paper that had an advertisement for the game.. A few days after I found out that it's coming out in a few months and it looks great.

Story (cut from wikipedia):

The player assumes the role of Tōya Fujii, White Album's male protagonist. Tōya is a twenty year-old university student in his second year attending the Yūnagi University. He has a timid, yet vulgar personality, and is often unorganized He often laments the amount of time he has to spend with Yuki Morikawa, whom he is romantically attracted to. Yuki, White Album's main heroine, is an idol singer rising in popularity, and is affiliated with the Ogata Productions She has a warm and kindhearted personality, and is in her second year attending university with Tōya, with whom she attended high school together. Rina Ogata, another heroine, is a popular idol singer under the same management agency as Yuki. Rina is elegant and intelligent, and maintains a mutual friendship with Yuki.She is often occupied with work, and becomes attracted to Tōya to compensate her loneliness.

Tōya also meets several other characters throughout the story. Misaki Sawakura, also a heroine, is a gentle and caring third year university student. She holds an affection towards reading and cooking, and like Yuki, she has attended high school with Tōya prior to commuting to university.Haruka Kawashima, another heroine, is Tōya's childhood friend since kindergarten, and is in her second year attending university. Haruka is often very quiet and rarely remarks on her surroundings. She is athletic and generally prefer leisure sports such as taking walks, and has once participated in tennis prior to her brother's death.Mana Mizuki, White Album's fifth heroine, is a high school student tutored by Tōya.Mana has an impudent, and aggressive personality.She is antisocial and dislikes interacting with others, to the extent where she at times skips school or refuses Tōya's tutoring sessions.

I'm hyped, first visual novel for the PS3, the special edition is mine!

P.S. This will be the first visual novel for the PS3.

Utawarerumono is already translated so there's no real point of them localizing it.

The plot seems bad, and the artstyIe is even worse. And it's a visual novel. :? Something that most likely will be widely ignored. And for good reason.

Shirokishi_

Well the old (1998.) PC verison has H-Scenes, but I doubt that you want the classic one.. To buy this game in the future I would suggest Ebay or Playasia, whatever one has the best deal.

I HIGHLY doubt the PS3 version will have any H scenes.

I never said it did, I said the PC version does.

The "plot" section is pretty much them summing up some of the characters personalities and the setting.

The art$tyle is great.

And yes, I know it's a visual novel, cool isn't it?

I hardly see how the art style is bad, or how just because a game is a visual novel there is plenty of reason for it to be ignored.

It's widely recognized as one of the best visual novels of all time (and had better-than-normal story even compared with other mediums) well, that was the case with the original....

H stands for Hentai Scene stands for scene.

To expand upon that, hentai = anime pr0n. (pr0n = porn) Really, really filthy pr0n.

Visual novels have been practically dead in Western territories for years. An anime-looking one will follow that pattern. Which is ok, since visual novels are extremely boring.

I had no clue what this post was about but I was totally prepared to come in and post a pic from the White Album anime as a joke and be like, "this?". ... and now my failure is complete. They should bring this to the US, even if it's just on PSN and only subtitled. I can't imagine it's too hard to translate text. You get a foreign exchange student to do it in exchange for his name in the credits and Shonen Jump subscription.

Really now? I bet you have a vast experience of the genre right?

Also, the popularity in America is increasing, the amount of officially translated eroges are increasing and even Nippion Ichi is releasing one.

The visual novel came first. If anything it will be better than the anime because of the variety you can put into the game through your own choices.
