選択肢型アドベンチャーゲームはゲームではなくデジタルブック扱いされSteamには登録できず、ゲイブ・ニューウェルからは「萌え豚はブタ小屋でTo LOVEる読んでるか、SteamでThe Graveyardプレイするかどっちかにしろ!」と罵倒されていた暗黒期。
だが、神は我ら萌え豚を見離さなかった。Greenlightの登場によって(建前上は)Steamユーザーの投票によってSteamで販売するゲームが決められ、全世界にいる同志達の努力によって遂に念願のゲームがSteamでリリースされることとなった。
この「Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~」は日本に憧れる外国人主人公が、ホームステイ先の姉マコト(おねぇちゃん属性)と妹アキラ(ボーイッシュ&ツンデレ属性)と日本での生活や観光名所を巡り、もちろん最後は・・・という選択肢型のアドベンチャーゲームである。
元々日本に興味がある外国人オタク向けに作られたもので、UIは英語だがセリフは日本語と英語同時に表示可能。
CG数こそ少ないものの、単なる日本の観光名所案内だけに留まらず、食前の「いただきます」マナーや日本食の食べ方、SUICAやPASMOの使い方、トイレのウォシュレット、更には日本には自販機や24時間営業のコンビニが溢れているという日本人には当たり前の感覚まで細かに外国人に紹介し、日本の文化や良さを伝えようとしているのがうかがえる。
開発元はエロゲー会社の「OVERDRIVE」というところのようで、流石にESRB AO指定食らいそうなシーンこそないものの、日本の伝統文化(?)であるラッキースケベシーンももちろん収録されており、脱衣所入ったと思ったらマコトの裸シーンだったり部屋開けたらアキラもおパンツ丸出しシーンだったりとTo LOVEる体験も味わえる。
ドンッ!(壁を思いっきりぶん殴る音)ちくしょう・・・なんでTo LOVEるのリトやこのゲームの主人公は、女の子の裸見るのが当たり前、見てもすぐ許されるんだよ・・・こんなところにも格差社会があるとかこの世はどうなっているんだ!
「日本は治安も良くてこんなに素晴らしい国なんですよ。ラッキースケベも味わえるかも・・・ほらほら~、もう来たくなっちゃったでしょー」という思想丸出しかもしれないがもうこの際どうでもいい。

これは単なるゲームではない!日本の文化そのものを伝える芸術作品だ!

ラッキースケベかっ。。それ現実的に考えばほぼ可能性がないことだと思うけどw
たとえ運が付いてきた日がきったらそれ多分打ちのめされるまで許されないでしょw

英訳2: Because it is originally made for foreigner otaku who have an interest in Japan, the UI is in English, but the speech lines can be displayed in Japanese and English at the same time.
While the amount of CG is surely small, it doesn't stop at only being a guide to Japan's tourist attractions, it also introduces manners like saying "itadakimasu" before meals, how to eat Japanese food, how to use SUICE and PASMO, the toilet seats with bidet functions, and even small details like the obviousness of how Japanese people are used to vending machines and konbini operating 24-hours per day in Japan.
[a bit rambling I won't translate to save space...]
This isn't just a game! It's a work of art propagating the thing that is Japanese culture!

英訳1: There was a period of darkness during which "choice adventure games" weren't treated as games but as digital books and couldn't get on Steam, and Gabe Newell abused us by saying "Anime freaks should either read To LOVEる in their caves, or play The Graveyard on Steam."
But god didn't abandon us anime freaks. It finally became, through the introduction of Greenlight through which (at least officially) the games that get released on Steam get decided on through votes by users, that through the work of like-minded people on the whole world the games we really long for were released on Steam.
This game "Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~" is a "choice adventure game" in which the protagonist, which is a foreigner admiring Japan, experiences the life in Japan and tours famous tourist attractions during his homestay with the older sister Makoto (who acts like the typical older sister) and the younger sister Akira (who acts boyish and tsundere), and of course in the end...

Dear God. I had a fun time with this in Google Translate.

In the beginning, from what I could understand, it looks like you're saddened the fact that Steam is not particularly supportive of visual novels, but the addition of Steam Greenlight has created a possibility for visual novels to be added. Then you continue with a description of the game. After that, I have almost no idea about what you're saying. Maybe it's a social commentary on nudity or something. I don't know. The last two sentences are perfectly clear.

Such flawless translation.
