I was able to slip in and catch a few minutes. Twitch is not kind to my computer so it only lasts so long until the lag takes over.

Its looking and sounding great though!

Now that it is February, I'm kinda getting antsy for a release date.

Is the live stream up on YouTube yet? Linky if it is, please.

I believe it's being prepped for uploading, so it's not up yet but should be soon.

In the meantime, it looks like the website "NintendoEverything" put up archival footage they took of the livestream, though it doesn't seem to be full-screenable:

http://nintendoeverything.com/return-to ... ve-stream/

Our YouTube version will also likely be higher quality, by virtue of the fact that it was recorded directly from the source, but the NintendoEverything archive certainly isn't a bad choice. If you simply can't wait, it seems to be a fine option, and we appreciate NintendoEverything taking the time and bandwidth to provide it.

EDIT: Actually, wait... that's our Twitch channel, isn't it? Does Twitch automatically save archives of its livestreams? I use Twitch so infrequently, I had no idea... but if so, that's pretty cool! Heheh...

Weird. It's working fine for me.

Anyone else having trouble with it?

At long last... the announcement has officially gone out! Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale will be available throughout North America on March 1st -- and our website is live now too, full of info, voice samples, screenshots, music, a new trailer (which I made and Kelly "remastered" to improve the video quality)... and that little surprise I've been teasing: we got the rights to digitally publish an English translation of the first story from the original 1981 serialization of the PopoloCrois manga (a total of 113 pages of content), which we're going to be rolling out a couple dozen pages at a time over the course of the next few weeks on the game's website. The first 18 pages are available on the website now, with the next set scheduled to be added next Tuesday, and then more each Tuesday after that until the March 1st launch date!

Check out the website here:

Our web designer totally outdid herself with this one, so I think you guys are going to really like it.

Enjoy!

The website is SO cute! I love the music clips (very whimsical!) The manga also seems really fun, so I'll be definitely keeping up on it prior to release :D

Since I have to import it to here in Quebec using the US Amazon (I have a ton of gift credit on there, silly to let it sit to waste) it might take an extra week or so to get it, but that's fine. Looking forward to hearing impressions!

Here's the new trailer on its own, BTW:

It's pretty rough around the edges, but I'm rather proud of it nonetheless.

Nice job, Tom! Very cute trailer

I just paused my LTTP livestream watch around the 90 minute mark and now there's all this cool stuff for me to check out! Yay!

On my iPad mini 3, the site's music is not working for me.

(I did try toggling it off and on, nothing.)

The Character Page is amazing! The voices do work. This is an AWESOME idea and great preview, I've just checked Iris so far, but wow, it is going to be tough selecting which "trual" audio track I want. I may play through three times!

Two save files with the Quicksave option acting as a makeshift third? Or are there more savefiles?

Map menu thoughts: the "fogu" of war! Lolol! This is great, too!

Gameplay page: oh my good Galariel, there's a ton of details and new English screenshots for me to drool over!

Multimedia page is excellent, everything is so cute. Icons are a nice touch, the transparency is a lovely touch.

I am going to take my time and devour this manga, but thank you all at XSEED, Marvelous, and Yohsuke Tamori... so, so much thanks for providing the opportunity to read it in English for the first time.
