Also some bits of information from the interview:
- They had some notion for a console version during this year ever since the release of the PC versions, so they had ideas set up since the beginning
- They figured that if the PS3 version was split into two parts like the PC version there would be risks of back spoilers so they decided to make it all one set
- The original writer, Maruto Fumiaki, is not only penning new scenarios, but also revising existing ones for the port. Previously he's been hands off regarding consumer ports, but this time the project was really important to him so he requested personally to work on the PS3 version
- The Motion Portrait has been improved more with even better expressions and emotions thanks to what they've learned from using the technology in White Album and To Heart 2 DX Plus
- The scenarios are focused on quality over quantity, but the number of CGs have already exceeded the original plan. There are plans for new BGMs and new songs as well
- No new heroines. Rather than try to stuff in a new isolated character, they are focusing on expanding the existing characters even further
- It'd be nice if they could also try to do something White Album related next winter as well, like an anime...
Last, but not least, new screens from Famitsu!

How can I not get it if past scenarios are getting refined too?
Introductory, Closing,
chapters were already awesome, so if they make refinements, it can only bring it even closer to the level of godlike :')
I'm also excited to see all the new CGs they'll bring to the PS3 version. And new BGMs/songs is beast!

damn, I wish I could speak / read japanese.
"New" video and 4gamer piece. Video is the same as the one icecreamさん posted above but there's an extra few seconds at the end where it shows off some new preorder bonus' I think. The site has also been updated with some news and blah blah.

- Printed material in magazines, novels distributed at events, drama CDs, etc. have all been compiled within the game. This will include such things as "Twinkle Snow, Musou", "Kare no Kami-sama Aitsu no Kyuuseishu", "Matsuri no Ato Setsuna no Sanjuupun" "Yuki ga Toke, Soshite Yuki ga Furu made", "Matsuri no Hi Butai no Shita no Monogatari", "Uta wo Wasureta Guuzou", etc.
- This material will unlock automatically depending on how far one has progressed, as to avoid spoilers.
- Additional scenario contains a scene with music performed by a 39 man orchestra.
- Will go into detail on what happens to the heroines that have grown distant from the protagonist, as well as the heroines that continue to stay beside him.
- Fans might be split opinion-wise on the new scenario.
- Maruto has finished work on the new stuff, so there shouldn't be any delays.

The positioning of the head on this girl is freaking me the fuck out
it looks like her neck is broken, or long, or like she's Elastigirl. Or her chest is fucking weird, idk

I'd actually like some kinda remake of Comipa as well. x: But I have a weird attachment to that series.
Yeah as long as you're cool with being on a watch-list somewhere.

Fantastic! I really thought they should've added something like this in the original game for the heroines featured in the second arc of the scenario. I'm glad they're going to include this in the PS3 version.
Something kinky I hope!

If only I knew Japanese, I'd have so many video game girlfriends
Totally! Unfortunately it's not so easy an option for those of us living outside the country though...
Like, another remake of the original aside from the Dreamcast edition?
Hoping WA2 will tide things over until Jasmine, personally.

Why cant these games ever be translated.
Yeah. :x I continue to consider if using a middleman service was a better idea...
I'm gonna guess she's angry and attacking the protagonist, so he is holding her arms to protect himself......I think.
Me too, it would be a nice change.

No, she's hurting her hands, and the protagonist grabs her to prevent further wounds. A pianist with wounded fingers is a big deal after all.
I think they don't see much money to be made in the west on these type of games.
The problem I see is, if they don't release these kind of games more often then of course they won't sell, because the west will never be able to build a bigger culture that enjoys these games, it has to start somewhere.
