There have been a lot of “remakes” in recent years. In the past, there were two major animation works by “Rumiko Takahashi”, “Boys of the Harvest Star” and “Ranma ½”. Next, there will be “Fist of the North Star” and “One Piece”! Game CAPCOM has always had the Resident Evil remake series, as well as some high-definition versions.
What I want to talk about in this episode is the reissue of ELF’s H GAME masterpiece series. ELF stopped operating independently in 2016, and the copyrights of its games were sold to DMM.com and MAGES.
Remastered versions of “Classmate” and “Classmate 2” have been released earlier, and the remake of “Nomura Hospital No. 1” will be released on September 29, 2025.
These remastered versions are not as expensive as AAA masterpieces. They are just 640X400 WINDOW versions, redrawn with new dubbing and 1080P resolution. And the painter usually changes…
The famous character design of “Masaki Takei”, a student in the same class, was loved by everyone for his style back then. However, the style of “Masaki Takei” is now different from that of his classmate in the 1990s, so it is understandable to change the character design. The new style of painting is obviously leaning towards the modern perception of two-dimensional beautiful girls.
Takei Masaki’s painting style can no longer go back…
But the junior student is different. The junior student’s character is Kadoi Aya. Kadoi Aya’s new style of painting is not too “out of shape”, and the aura of the eyes is still there. But even so, the remake of Lower School still changed the artist to cater to a new group of people on the market.
Mizuho Yuki on the right is Kadoi Aya’s latest style of painting, and I think the eyes are still there.
What is the difference between junior students and students at the same level?
Basically, you can only H once in the classmate series.
This is a common question asked by many people who have played with students at the same level but have never played with students at the lower level. Personally, I think the real difference is the “H” aspect! If a student of the same level reaches the H scene during the strategy process, he or she will basically complete the strategy for the female character, and the number of Hs will basically only be in that scene.
The lower-level students are different. The lower-level students improve their favorability through strategies, and when sent home, they can confirm their intimacy by “hugging, kissing, touching up, and touching down.” However, H has nine different screen changes and dialogues. If it exceeds nine times, it will be repeated. That is to say, you can have unlimited sex until the completion date, unlike students of the same grade who can basically only have sex once.
The highlight of the junior students is that they can have sex on the first date, but they can’t conquer Mayumi just by having sex. There are also two girls (Minami Sato Ai) and “Iijima Miyuki” who are both real lower-level students and are friends. Only by being a scumbag can we win the outcome of both of them. (Which one wins depends on the degree of favorability)
When the anime was adapted, the OVA still had the heroine “Mizuho Yukinai” in charge, but the TV version was actually played by junior students “Minamisato Ai” and “Iijima Miyuki”, which is also the memory of many anime fans.
In Lower Class 2, players were angry because the heroine was not a virgin! Even though the remake of The Lower School was announced today, those old otakus are still angry when the Lower School 2 is mentioned. It can be seen that the two-dimensional heroine + childhood sweetheart attribute, the setting has a boyfriend and a non-virgin is a big sin~!
Compared with students at the same level, lower-level students have a game-like development system. Taking advantage of the announcement of the remake, it is highly recommended to new and old players who have never played it! Scheduled for sale on December 19, 2025.
