Today Alchemist posted a really crazy page for Higurashi DS: seems that "viral marketing" is getting into the bishoujo games market or this is just a  place holder created by Alchemist webmasters?!

Today 07th Expansion officially announced Higurashi no Naku Koro ni for Nintendo DS. The game will be divided in 4 episodes. The first one will be relased on 26 June. The story should follow the PS2 version that has sold over 140.000 copies (so it was just a matter of time for a DS port). The timing of this announcement is perfect since tomorrow will be released the first volume of the Higurashi manga adaptation. I confess that I knew about this porting back in December but I signed an NDA with my blood so... I can imagine some maniac/otakus complaining about the many Higurashi releases but, basically, each version of the game sold better than the one before (each version of Higurashi is made for a different audience so the idea of releasing the game for DS is genial since the DS audience is not the same one fo the original doujin and PS2 versions)...
