Hardcore pigeon dating sim fans everywhere are cooing with delight as developer (Amateur Surgeon, Foul Play) and avian-friendly publisher Devolver Digital are joining forces to remake Hato Moa’s standout visual novel Hatoful Boyfriend for PC and Mac this summer. Originally launched in 2011 as a limited release Japanese visual novel, Hatoful Boyfriend quickly drew a loyal following of fans that created translation packs, gorgeous artwork, and even romantic fan faction based on their favorite pigeon boyfriends.

[Ryuukan]

Mac port, good

 

[KojiKnight]

Yeah I will finally play this when it comes out this way.

Also dat Fork Parker quote:

So true, so true.

 

[Lambtron]

Day one. Game of the year.

 

[Kinky John]

Coo!

 

[ultron87]

I love that this is a thing that can come out as a commercial product here.

 

[PandaPedinte]

GOTY

 

[PaulExcellent]

Sometimes I think about dating pigeons.
And that's OK.

 

[BiggNife]

OP is missing the amazing screenshots

 

[Fushichou187]

 

[Santiako]

High Def cloacas, that's what everyone wants.

 

[JDSN]

So lewd.

 

[Anteater]

fuck yeah, always wanted to try this but didn't get the chance to, will pick this up

 

[QuantumBro]

Never thought I would buy a dating sim game outside of Persona, guess I was wrong.

 

[Stone Ocean]

A new Hatoful Boyfriend? I must return to my people with the spoils of war, lay my bloodied sword at the feet of my great king, and celebrate my conquest of all the lands from here to distant Macedonia

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

"Semi-realistic pigeon dating simulation"

Most understated PR of 2014

 

[Savitar]

Remake you say.

 

[Oersted]

Our prayers have been answered.

 

[Tacitus_]

Everyone should read the playthrough of "cloaca chan". This game is fucking insane.

 

[dani_dc]

The original was (shamefully) on my backlog. I do think I'll wait for this remake at this point.

 

[Dusk Golem]

All is well with the world.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

High Def cloacas, that's what everyone wants.

Since male and female birds both have cloacae, would the Japanese censor both or neither?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

The original game was hilarious. I'm definitely in for this.

 

[gorfyako]

We truly live in the best of times.

 

[danmaku]

I can't believe this is happening.

 

[Pirabear]

E3 is saved.

 

[The_Poet]

Wat. :I

Spoiler

Why am I feeling tingly?

 

[Chanser]

Quick someone message Danny.

 

[CTLance]

Something in my brain just died, but I somehow feel it's for the best.

Yes, pigeon dating sims are the future. I see it now. All hail the pigeons. Coo. Coo.

Spoiler

I am oddly interested.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Neat surprise

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

this game is weirder than Bullet Girls, wtf

 

[Nzyme32]

Nothing at E3 can top this.

 

[Dusk Golem]

For anyone who hasn't played Hatoful Boyfriend btw, you need too. It's so hard to talk about the game without spoiling, but there's far more to it than just a visual novel starring pigeons and birds.

 

[Tizoc]

E3 is saved.

E3 should just pack it up and go home after this announcement.

 

[chrominance]

Holy shit.

HOLY SHIT.

This is probably the best pre-E3 news we're going to get. Never in a million years did I see this coming. I guess I'll wait for the re-release to play through all the other endings, then!

 

[MCN]

This shits on all other announcements from a great height.

Spoiler

Because it's a pidgeon

 

[Lostconfused]

So Norio Wakamoto is going to do VO for all of his lines now? Right? Right?

 

[Zweizer]

Day 1.
I hope we'll see more of Shuu.

HO HO HO

So Norio Wakamoto is going to do VO for all of his lines now? Right? Right?

Wakamoto should be the only VO in this game and voice everyone, including the MC.

 

[Haunted]

Danny will be so happy/mortified.

 

[Nachos]

YES. The original game is legitimately amazing beyond the novelty, so I hope more people get to play it now.

It also had a pretty good translation, so hopefully that holds true for this, as well.

 

[Tempy]

A remake published by Devolver? Did NOT expect that!

Edit: and YES to Norio doing all the voices.

[Gbraga]

Will they have to cut the 18+ parts of the Steam release?

Day one anyway, GOTY.

 

[Tizoc]

So Norio Wakamoto is going to do VO for all of his lines now? Right? Right?

THIS GAME HAS BEEN IN MY BACKLOG AND I DID NOT KNOW THIS?!?!?!!?!?
I WILL GLADLY PAY FOR A KICKSTARTER TO HAVE HIS VOICE IN THIS MASTERPIECE!

 

[Waaghals]

I haven't actually played the game, so I don't know if this is spoilerish:

The original has at least one very catchy tune. Youtube (possible spoilers)

 

[Videoneon]

...
...


....yes.

 

[sn00zer]

Will they have to cut the 18+ parts of the Steam release?

Day one anyway, GOTY.

How can this game have 18+ parts?

 

[Necrovex]

Ok. I'm getting this game when the remake comes out.

 

[striferser]

How can this game have 18+ parts?

Hot pigeon sex, cannibalism, and a bit of dark comedy about murder.

Spoiler

i haven't play the game
