I faintly remember that M-Kai actually hadn't liked Kyokugen to be distributed outside Japan. They had become far more skilled after the release of Kyokugen and they thought Kyokugen would give buyers the wrong impression about M-Kai. Or something like that. However, Kyokugen was released in Europe in the end and therefore they refused a distribution of Pleasure Hearts outside Japan. I forgot about the details (it's about six years ago now)...
hmm...
picky, picky.
well, a release would still be great!
Hope I will have this game
I've written Hnostar and Ikeda.
Hope you will succeed
. Will you let us know?
Also, Rikusu, I think that Kyokugen is a very great game.
So do I, and many others. It's probably just that some game developers don't like their older works when their skills have improved greatly. Pleasure Hearts will probably be even better than Kyokugen, I suppose.
I've played Pleasure Hearts. It is a great game! It is not very difficult to play trough, but the extreme speed on some stages makes me feel a bit dizzy sometimes.
I don't know how to explain this, but somehow it feels more SNES game, than MSX game.
I can recommend this to anyone.
Yes, this is the feeling I have when I play the ONE STAGE promo!
Humm... still waiting for an answer...
According to Ikeda M-Kai had troubles with MSX Association and dropped the MSX scene.
Pleasure Hearts won't be available anymore
I am still waiting for some answer to know if there is still any copy available. Also, why some games of dissapeared groups are not freely available?
Yours,
That's not the question, the question is: if the people behind those groups still can make some money, why not they rerelease their games?
Yes, it can be another question.
I'm searching for this game at the moment, but found out it isn't for sale anymore
After sending an e-mail to M-kai he told me that he there is quite a demand for this game from foreign countries. And an investigation of the possibilities to re-distribute the game is an option. He also told me that this is not in his hands
We'll just have to wait I guess....
His message was a little confusing because he used a translator to translate it to english.
In the meantime I'm still searching for this game.... anyone? Contact me: oemfoefoe_at_xs4all_dot_nl
