Glad that I am leaving work early to watch the stream. Hope at least one new title is announced.

I will buy any ports too.

I would buy ports too if they release them with a physical cart!
(Haha, I guess I won't buy any ports then.)

Well, I'm glad Aksys are sticking with otome at least. I'm guessing Code Realize and Collar x Malice will be coming sooner or later. I do hope we get some new games though!

Guess Aksys saying they could always do digital only for Vita releases was just lip service.

Unlimited should've been on Vita as well.

In terms of announcements - this was very bad.

If NG can get localized for Vita then so could CxM.

Companies move on. I love my Vita but I think Aksys supported as much as they could have. I'm not gonna get mad at them for not supporting a console where they probably get like 10 copies sold compared to one of the best selling consoles ever.

Too bad... Aksys doesn't really have much to work with, these days. Without any Arc Sys, I'm not sure what people were expecting?

Yeah it's weird. Also they get like 5 million boobie VNs a year so I find it funny when guys complain when otome fans get... 2 new games.

The cafe game looks cute but it's so far away. Piofore is just not good and I'm always sad when Aksys localize less great otome.

How's it bad, exactly?

I definitely need some amount of verification of quality before I buy from new series. I'm down for CxM Unlimited (though I second that a digital Vita release would have been nice), but I feel burnt for buying Norn9 and 7Scarlet when I'll probably never play them now.

...I also seriously question releasing Code Realize separately, unless those are actually cheaper digital releases or something. They went as far as releasing the collection on PS4 the same day as Future Blessings on Vita, so people have a precedent to look at and go "...you seriously unbundled it this time?".

Do you like damsels in distress and sexual assault? Because that may as well be the summary for Piofiore.

Seems to be like CxM will also be unbundled? Not really fond of how they're milking fans and clinging to CR and CxM.

Well, I can at least vaguely understand Unlimited because it's an entirely new release. It's still annoying to unbundle it, but I get it. Especially if the original comes out decently sooner than Unlimited.

The game that was not only already kept bundled, but even released right alongside the unbundled version on another platform... that's less understandable.

I mean, I hope they're $20 digital releases or something, because otherwise you're gonna have people quickly realizing Bouquet of Rainbows is uhhhhh $30 on Amazon currently.

There'd be no point releasing them that way. Splitting the games requires more work. Think they'll be $50. No matter what, it'll be more expensive than the ps4 port.

Bleh. No Collar x Malice Unlimited on Vita and the new games they pick are a terrible one and an unknown quantity.

Disappointing set of announcements. Although it's nice that Switch fans get to experience the brilliant Collar x Malice.

Just that it's very dark and depressing with a useless MC. Also, there's some negative reviews like a lot of abusive LI.

N9 had like 2 good MC stuck in a terrible story and 7's just unredeemable so I feel your pain since I own both games too.

Man I really didn't like Norn9 either lol. The poster child for "Quality > Quantity"

At least the music was good.

Wonder if Otomate will make a special Switch Light down the line like they did with the PS4.

We've already started porting Akash to the switch, and yep, it will be compatible with the lite. :)

I know there's a fat zero chance of localisation, but the new Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side game has a logo now, and they introduced a new character, who is another relative of Reiichi Himuro (he was a dateable teacher from the first game, definitely one of the better written teacher options of the whole series). This is so funny to me, they keep bringing back Himuro - one of the students in the second game was also a cousin of his, and he had a cameo there.

Wonder if the company releasing the Steam versions will eventually do the games Aksys announced in July.
