[MOONPHASE]

The November 20th issue of Kadokawa's Famitsu magazine is announcing on Thursday that developer Kaga Create will release the game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sui (When They Cry -The Best-) for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

The game is a complete port that contains all past scenarios that were included in previous versions of the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni game. The new version will also have new features, and will be full-voiced.

Original creator Ryūkishi07 and his dojin circle 07th Expansion released a new installment in the series titled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Hō in August.

07th Expansion's original Higurashi no Naku Koro ni visual novel software revolved around murders that coincide with an annual festival in a quiet rural village. The software inspired two television anime series, several video anime projects, two live-action films, and manga adaptations by several artists.

Higurashi When They Cry was first released on PC as a “sound novel” game, which is similar to a visual novel, but focuses more on the mood behind its sound and music. This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine announced that it’s getting a PlayStation 3 and Vita version.

Higurashi When They Cry Best, which is the title for the upcoming PS3 and Vita version, will have all 19 chapters of the game, and will also include the part that was made into a drama CD, which unlocks upon clearing the game.

The game will also have additional characters, along with new CG parts that will show all the characters in swimsuits. Publishers Kaga Create also announced that the game is currently being developed so that all the chapters, including sub-scenarios, will be fully-voiced.

The report indicates that there are over 100 tracks for the game’s BGM, which includes theme songs from past games of the series, along with three new tracks. Two of the new songs were composed by 5pb found Chiyomaru Shikura, and the other by dai, who is in charge of the game’s BGM.

Again, Higurashi When They Cry Best will have enhanced scenes to go with other new features. There’s even one that will unlock scenarios depending on how many questions you get right on a quiz.

Higurashi When They Cry Best is slated for release in Japan on March 12, 2015 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. A cross-save feature will also let players switch data between both versions of the game.

Still waiting for the Umineko no Naku Koro ni PS3 games to be localized even if I already own the 1st one. But yes would love to see this localized too.
