Little Busters EX
Info from the new issue of Push!! magazine
- All they can reveal at this point about the new minigame is that it’s related to how Saya is a spy that’s after the school’s secret treasure and there’s something underground under the school.
- Saya is a spy and moves alone a lot and basically only interacts with the main character. Tennen boke tsundere.
- Text is 1.4 times as much as the original and voice data has increased by a lot, hence the need for 2 DVDs.
- 10 new tracks for the music.
- Some characters have new scenarios, especially Kudo and Haruka.
- All the new heroines have their own endings.
- Kanata’s scenario will come after the end of Haruka’s scenario so her attitude will be very different.
- Little Busters EX has been worked on since September last year.
- Schedule has been really tight, especially Na-Ga who had to work on both the new character and a sub character that became a main character.
- No plans for a console port of the game, because the mini game will be hard to do on the PS2.
- The guy that was originally supposed to write the scenario is really packed right now so Maeda started writing again.
- They’ve got a lot of outside help this time, especially with the mini games.
- The baseball part has also changed, they talk more now and more characters are added*
- There will be ways for people that have already played the original to only play the newly added parts immediately.
- They’ve put in effort on the H scenes, up to three H scenes for some characters.
- H scenes are not written by Maeda but by Shirokiri, Maeda tried his hand with H scenes before in Tomoyo After but it didn’t work out at all.
- Kinniku sensation ending will be powered up
- Tonogawa is already working on Rewrite (current progress 5%)
- Still undecided if Rewrite will be 18+ or all ages, they’ll follow whatever the chairman decides
- Orito Shinji is looking for a disciple
- They haven’t decided what they’ll do for Key’s 10 year anniversary
*They originally said that new characters aren’t going to get involved in the baseball mini game but we’ll pretend they never said that

The PS3 port is inevitable. I can see it already.
They’re gonna take this bigger game, and remove the H, and put it on the PS3.

And then when sales go well, they’ll grab that game, add even more extras, then re-port it to the PC.

I’m still convinced that H scenes will lose the respect I have of the original Little Busters!
But that shot of Midori has made me happy (and the others don’t look too bad either).
