Go! Go! Nippon! 2015 DLC

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the point of this VN isn't to deliver an engaging storyline or a compelling cast of characters. What you will find, though, is a serious wealth of educational content. And that's why I appreciate GGN! so much. Even though there ought to be much crossover appeal between the VN crowd and weebs going off the deep end, I think this game is very much serviceable to anyone with just a passing interest in Japan. This is not to say that anyone playing VNs for more *ahem* shallow reasons are left out in the cold. In fact, given the completely innocuous premise, it's actually a bit jarring how there's still a need to ship romanceable characters and fanservice shots (as sparse as they may be) in a game about promoting Japan. Keep in mind GGN! features real-life locations and landmarks, as well as historical insight and travel advice. In a way, it could be taken to be as much as a promotional piece for Japan as anything of a more official nature. That being said, GGN! (thankfully) manages to tone down the creepiness and keep it mostly about Japan. Don't get me wrong, the game is very earnest and naive. It's a labor of love, as well as a labor of location-spotting and research. It's worth your time.

I have to say, I enjoyed this game a lot more than I thought I would. I've been to Japan before and I actually learned some things I didn't know! The romance was good too. I normally don't like this few options, but it works for this game. It's also rare to see a foreigner as the main character so that's cool. This was a really neat travel game with a love story thrown in. The e-mote system worked well. The only two issues i had was since there's only 2 girls there's only 4 different endings which i think could be expanded upon in another DLC with maybe 1 to 2 more endings or girls. The other thing that kind of bugged me was the fact that this guy "studied some japanese" and he's ridiculously fluent. Like...he doesn't struggle AT ALL. I kinda call bull on that. It would have been better if he struggled more with the language. Other than that, great game.

it's nice game and fun, like a virtual vacation on Japan what's good: the character are animated while "speaking" six more location to visit the only thing i dont like it's: -the main character it' still without eyes (they are not drawed) -and for what i see there it's nothing that make you understand when the character are "speaking" english (in the game without the DLC there was something, but i dont remember what) something nice they could add: -anything that make easy understand when the characters are "speaking" -a translation for Akira english, sometime it's just too hard to understand it (especially on the last day with her ending)

This game was the first VN that I bought from steam. This DLC is like the extended version of Akira + Makoto story. I really enjoyed this and thanks for making this game better~!

ZOMG Animated Akira I cried This DLC is a remake of the original Go Go Nippon. More story, more CG, more character development, more sightseeing location, and the girls are animated. In other words, it's all you'll ever need.

If you liked original Go! Go! Nippon!, this is going to be like buying XCOM: Enemy within, even if you played XCOM: Enemy unknown. For those who don't know that game, in short: It's just like original, but it brings so much new things that you just have to come back and fall in love with it over aging. (PS: Check XCOM. Great game, you are going to love it) For 8€ it's good price. Give it a shot. Oh, who am I kidding... BUY IT!! =D

I was waiting for this! This DLC will improve the game by giving more places to visit, more beautiful artwork, letting the game go to widescreen and now the characters have mobility~ couldn't wait for the last one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I loved this visual novel and was one of the first I had play on steam, it really does it´s work as the title say showing a little of Japan is culture and history, the plot was really fun and the soundtrack is very good too. In the end remember this is a short visual novel, not a game one by itself and the purpose of it is to enjoy it and have a good time! I give it a 8/10. (it's great! :3) In the end it added a lot to the histoy (new dialogues that doubles the content of the original) and a pretty cool feature that shows you the real place on google maps. I really recommend it, if you liked the first version, you will love this one!

This DLC has everything the original game has and makes it even more entertaining. It is a masterpiece of the VNovel genre The animations are realy cute and the new tourist spots are verry interesting described However i miss the foodp*rn pics in the new choices of what to eat ^^ The talking animation is a bit... distracting? It would be truely epic if it actually had a dub.. without its... odd.. but cute The integrated 3D (360°) pictures make it realy awesome aswell The skip already read function does not work, it skipps everything, read or unread (and yes i did configure it right) 10/10

Should get 2016 version instead. 2016 includes 2015 + few extra locations, information update, animation improvement(sightly)

The original Go! Go! Nippon! was one of the few VNs on the market that had the specific intention of not only entertaining, but thoroughly educating its audience. It did an excellent job, so I was eager to see how this DLC would measure up. Short answer: It does measure up. Longer answer: If you're a fan of the original, get the DLC. If you haven't tried Go! Go! Nippon! yet, then get the package deal and play the new version, as it is superior in every way to the already excellent original. If you aren't interested in Japanese culture and don't want lengthy explanations of tourist locations and tips on how to get around Japan as a foreigner, then you may not be that interested in playing this game, as the plot and relationship aspect of it is thin by comparison to games that focus only on storytelling. But for what it is intended to be - an illustrated guide to Japan from the perspective of a newcomer - it succeeds. One inevitable day when a voiced version is released (Go! Go! NIppon! 2018, anyone?), I'll no doubt snap that up as well. Buy Go! Go! Nippon! to show support for games that make an effort to teach us something in the process of entertaining us.
