Peter Payne at Comic Con
July 27th, 2009, by in Conventions, Translation
A forum member from the JAST USA forums managed to track down owner Peter Payne for some questions regarding content changes in their games. The post also indicates that at some point in the past, JAST USA had considered licensing Kingdom from GIGA (which was evident in an explanation that accompanied the fan translation) and various Black Cyc titles, and talks about the reason why both ideas fell through. It also validates rumors that the fighting game fandisk, NITRO+ROYALE, is in JAST USA’s planned lineup.

JAST USA lets out some more info at Otakon
July 20th, 2009, by in Conventions, Translation
JAST USA decided to hold a surprise panel at 11:30pm on the first day of Otakon 2009, where they pretty much reiterated what was said at Anime Expo for the main part of the presentation. However, after the raffle and during the question and answer section, a few more juicy tidbits managed to find their way out, including some information about a third game in negotations from Nitro+. Thanks to bayoab for the live stream and being on site.
UPDATE: The Nitro+ flap from the JAST USA Dating-Sim Game Catalog that shipped with Family Project apparently has the NITRO+ROYALE title image as the background.

MangaGamer at Anime Expo 2009
July 7th, 2009, by in Conventions, Translation
MangaGamer had a large presence at Anime Expo this year, starting with a full page ad on the back of the program guide. They also set up a large booth in the exhibition hall, held 3 mini-concerts and held a panel on the third day, where they announced their future plans. Of note was that they announced both Higurashi no Nakukoro ni and SHUFFLE! as future titles.
UPDATE: A tentative release schedule has been posted on Akihabara Channel.
