Go! Go! Nippon!: My First Trip to Japan
Go! Go! Nippon!: My First Trip to Japan
Go! Go! Nippon!: My First Trip to Japan, développé par OVERDRIVE et édité par MangaGamer, est sorti le 30 septembre 2011 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Ce visual novel mêlant aventure et simulation place le joueur dans la peau d'un protagoniste fan d'anime et de jeux japonais, venu passer une semaine au Japon chez des amis rencontrés sur internet, découvrant à son arrivée que ceux-ci sont en réalité les sœurs Makoto et Akira. Le récit le conduit à visiter des sites touristiques célèbres en leur compagnie, à découvrir la culture locale et la cuisine, dans une forme de "Guide Game" conçu avec le moteur BGI/Ethornell et proposé au prix de 9,99 euros. La presse a salué l'aspect guide touristique interactif tout en soulignant, comme l'a fait GameCritics, que le titre ne va pas assez loin dans une direction précise pour être recommandé au-delà d'une agréable diversion de quelques heures, tandis que certains joueurs sur Metacritic apprécient le contenu informatif sur le Japon mais regrettent un protagoniste perçu comme trop passif, et d'autres sur Steam jugent l'expérience excellente malgré un coût jugé un peu élevé pour sa durée de vie. L'ensemble affiche une note agrégée de 55,34.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Ultimately what you have here is a visual guidebook (which is great but not really helpful at home on your PC) overlayed with an interactive romance novel, where the protagonist has minimal input to the final outcome, unless they know where you need to go to get the girl you want. »
« For everyone else, Go! Go! Nippon doesn’t go far enough in any one direction to be recommended as anything more than a pleasant diversion for a few hours. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Just a great visual novel about the trip to Japan. It features a lot of information about Japan, Japanese culture, etc. As a boy, you will meet two amazing Japanese girls which are going to be your guide during your stay in the land of the rising sun. They're here to help you understand everything about Japan. The game itself features great art, poor graphics (well, it was released a long ago), and usual soundtrack. So, that's my opinion on Go! Go! Nippon! It's worth playing, in a nutshell. »
« This is what I hate about so many Japanese visual novels, or other Japanese games for that matter. The protagonist is completely oblivious and is weirded out about everything "new" he comes across in Japan. Not only that, all those so called new things are explained very very detailed like he's an idiot. He is an idiot, listening to his bewildered reaction. If that was the only explainanation you got then it wouldn't be so bad but the game keeps explaining the same simple thing over and over again, recapping it again and again. In other words, this visual novel treats the player like a small child. »
« love it but I wish there was a second one where they go to America. but to be honest I don't think there's anywhere in America that's interesting as japan is »
« Go! Go! Nippon! is a visual novel about a guy from an ambiguous country that takes a sightseeing tour around Japan (mostly Tokyo) with the help of two Japanese girls. This game is a bit of an oddity. There's actually very little gameplay here; you make roughly five choices throughout the whole experience. Most of this novel consists of an animated, factual tour guide of Japanese hot spots, complete with history lessons. I found it pretty interesting, if a little dry at times. It was pretty neat to see Shibuya, which I rember from two other games I've played (The World Ends With You and SMT: Devil Survivor). This game tries really hard to capture the feel of everyday events in Tokyo, and it was cool to see all of these things described in great detail and in a way that points out things that foreigners would find unique. You might also expect some romance from this description, and if so, you'd be correct. The places you visit determine which girl accompanies you, and you end up with the one that accompanied you the most. I only played through once, and I saw a little over half the content. The romance plot is not that interesting and ends before it really blooms. I kind of wish it was left out, especially the more, well, risque images. (Ecchi, I think. Not quite hentai.) So basically, if you're looking for a fun game, this isn't one. This is a visual novel about being a tourist in Japan stapled to a romantic manga story. It only took me about 90 minutes to get through one playthrough, so it's a pretty quick experience. All in all, if you can enjoy a visual novel and you have some interest in Japan, I can recommend this. Not at $10, though... wait for a Steam sale. If my description didn't sound interesting to you, then this simply isn't for you and it won't be worth your time or money. »
