The next issue of Famitsu has announced that Chunsoft’s latest “next-gen” sound novel Imabikisou, which was originally released for the PS3, will be ported to the Wii with extra scenarios not available in the PS3 version. The game will be called Imabikisou kaimeihen and will serve as the “complete” version.

Didn’t the game’s producer say something about how the PS3 was the only system that could do all the next-gen stuff they were trying to do with the game!

Eroge brand Windmill has released their custom ADV engine called CatSystem2 to the public. The CatSystem2 engine is free for personal use or for making doujin games, but they have not yet decided if it will be free for commercial use.

CatSystem2 is the same engine that Windmill uses to make their games so it should be useful for people looking for another alternative free ADV game engine.
