Holy crap.
It's been excactly two years since I've updated this main page (or any
pages, rather). Nevertheless, I have decided to update with
a little PM related information. Just to note that I'm not completely
out of the loop in regards to well... everything.
Tim Trzepacz asked
me to include a link on my page in regards to the whole Princess Maker
2 fiasco. While I've included a lovely interview
some time ago with him, I'm also throwing this important link here as well.
Check it out.
It explains what exactly happened with the domestic release of Princess
Maker 2.
Sometime in the
last few years, apparently Gainax decided to make a Princess Maker related
animated television series. This series was called: Puchi Puri
Yuushi. It has since been picked up domestically by ADV Films under
the title "Petite
Princess Yucie" I haven't seen it, because I am lazy and poor.
However, I do plan on attempting to pick it up in the future now that I've
finally gotten all of Super
Gals! Kotobuki Ran.
Biggest news is
that on August 31st 2005, Princess
Maker 4 finally came out.
FINALLY.
Seriously, we've
been waiting for this thing for like four years. It's no longer based
off the girl from PMQ, but rather a whole new daughter. I haven't
picked it up yet, however it is currently available in Japanese on the
Japanese Playstation 2.
Looks
like Yesasia will be selling a Chinese PC version within the next week
put out by King Information, who seems to always do their PC Chinese versions
(My PMQ is from them) which will also be sold over at Yesasia.com.
The coolest thing
thus far is that it looks like the main menu is in English. Not to
mention it looks like we have an all too familiar butler yet again, Cube.
Did
I forget to mention the whole collection of PM games redone to run on current
operating systems? It's true. Apparently Gainax along with
the usual folks of GeneX have created newer versions of the PM franchise
games, calling them "Refine" editions. Princess Maker and Princess
Maker 2 got the refine treatment, both getting releases for the PC (able
to be ran on Windows XP) and Playstation 2 platforms. The graphics
are now prettier and the music is all spiffy for up to date operating systems.
Princess
Maker is a collection of Life Simulation games released in Japan.
The point is to raise a daughter to the age of 18 years old.
This is an information collection researched and compiled by myself and
many people who have helped this site to grow into what it is now.
Go ahead and connect
to it. If you've already got a GlobalEZboard account, then that's cool
and you can use it, or you can create a new one with a name just for that
one. It's that simple ^_^; I am, of course, Nuriko on the board.
I picked up a free counter to give
me an idea as to how many people have been visiting lately. Has anyone
noticed the fact that this counter is getting slower while my other (original)
counter is actually catching up? I may have to ditch this one sooner
than I thought...
