The other two titles were Project: Arcadia. Little info was given about the game, save for the following catchphrases: "A princess!", "Side scrolling!", and "An exhilarating feeling!"

The "A" in "Arcadia" was highlighted in red.

This seems interesting. I have a tiny tiny TINY hope that this is the Asagi game we've all been waiting for, but don't take that as fact or anything.

Either way, I am excited to learn more about this!

It seems that very Asagi is scheming something using the Nippon Ichi Software 20th Anniversary...

Will Asagi ever become the main character...?
That all depends on everyone's support.
By all means, please give Asagi your support!~

The Diary:
Day 1

Day 2

Spoiler:

Seeing as there's a new entry in the diary, time for more translating.

July 18th ( Wednesday )

According to a passerby, in order to become the 'Main Character',

it seems that cooking is essential.

Alright! Let's put that to the test right away!!

...Is what I would say, but I can't make anything besides pasta.

-text on image:

COOKING IS... HEART

TONIGHT IS PASTA!

-the bottle says "olive" as in olive oil.

-the button in the bottom right corner says "previous manga catalogue"

Day 3

Spoiler:

Wow, the next page is already here!!


July 20th (friday)

I think I should expand my cooking repertoire.

The ingredients should be.. sardines if I go for meat, or bean sprouts if I go for greens, I guess?

Which should I make it with......


-The two image bubbles says "sardine" and "bean sprouts"

-The SFX near her mouth says "mogumogu" which means "mumbling"

Day 4

Spoiler:

Asagi diary, day 4!

July 24th (Tuesday)


W-w-who scribbled in my diary...!?

Who on earth......


-Large kanji in the bubble pointing at the diary is IWASHI ( sardine ) written as strong fish.
-Valvatorez in the background is chanting: Sardines, sardines, sardines!!

Day 6

Spoiler:

Asagi Diary day 6


July 31st (Tuesday)


Eh!? Somehow there's some unknown girl on the back of my hand fan!?

-the kanji next to the fan says something about "now on sale" but since I can't make out the second kanji, I can't translate all of it.

UPDATE ON ACTUAL NEWS:
Trademark filed in Japan "Arcadias' battle princess"

[stealth20k]

shouldnt we keep wthis with the other topics

[vampko]

shouldnt we keep wthis with the other topics

Not really. Since talking about two games in one thread is a pain. If they were of the same series, that'd make more sense, but they're not affiliated with each other, except in which company is making them.

If it gets locked then it gets locked. But I really don't see the reasoning in locking it. Especially when this could get it's own subforum. Which is another reason for this. It would be a pain to get all the info moved over and stuff if that happened, so having a thread specifically for this game makes much more sense than having it just be part something else's thread.

It's really common for a single thread to be made about multiple announcements, and then that thread end up becoming a single thread for a single game.

[stealth20k]

well when i did this it got locked, just fair warnin

[servant]

I'm guessing this will be a Vita title *sigh* as the games of the prinny series were also side scrollers and the genre just fits portable perfectly.
Is this game a platformer as well by any chance?

[LordLaharlsVassal]

I have a tiny tiny TINY hope that this is the Asagi game we've all been waiting for, but don't take that as fact or anything.

Is this it?: http://nippon1.jp/20th/asagi.html

Is the awful dead horse joke finally over?

[Rednal]

*Stares*

o.O

...



It really might be, actually, looking through how the site is showing stuff.

The second tab is basically scrolling through all the games she's cameo'd in, and seems to be pointing to something new...

[myskaros]

Yeah, someone should translate this :X

[vampko]

HOLY.....

I'll get on translating it as best as I can...but...oh my gosh...this might be it

For the sake of recording my everyday growth,

I have decided to put it in a diary.

I'll work hard at aiming to become the main character!

Is what it says.

why'd you do the cough?

Anyway, I just hope this isn't a huge NIS troll...

[Solice]

Anyway, I just hope this isn't a huge NIS troll...

I'm guessing it's going to be a CoD clone, or a total conversion mod. Instead of grenades, you toss prinnies. the machineguns replaced by dual pistols... or a manga. A manga about some dream plot Asagi has for her own game.
