Which Visual Novel Deserves a Remaster After Ever 17?

Visual novels are getting a real treat with the remasters of Ever 17 and Never 7. These beloved games from developer KID and legendary writer Kotaro Uchikoshi are both must-plays, especially in the case of the former. With these now almost here, and possibly so by the time you read this, it is time to look ahead. What visual novel deserves a remaster or remake next?

Well, the Siliconera staff has come together to give our thoughts on the visual novels we would like to see get a remaster or remake next.

Siliconera Speaks Up: Next Visual Novel Remaster or Remake We Want

Well. We already got Fate/stay Night and Tsukihime. I’m going to go with a deep otome cut. Let’s see Idea Factory and Otomate bring back Sweet Fuse! It’s too good to be trapped on the PSP! — Jenni

Give me 12Riven! I have wanted to play this game for so long but never have been able to. It’s time for an official English translation of it. Besides that, Remember 11 feels like a lock in the future. It is one of my favorite visual novels of all time and it is quite spooky, too, at times. There are some surprisingly scary moments at that game and it certainly deserves more attention than it got at the time. While Ever 17 is certainly the more flawlessly written experience, I actually prefer Remember 11 for its atmosphere and characters. The directions this one goes in are incredible and deserve a wider audience’s attention.

Finally, I’d like to give a special shoutout to Time Travelers. This Level-5 cinematic visual novel is remarkable, but it only ever released in Japan on Nintendo 3DS for some odd reason. This feels like an easy win to remaster for modern platforms with an official localization, so hopefully it happens at some point. Thankfully, there is an unofficial English translation for now. — Cody
