So the English version of Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live launched. I am not much of a rhythm game lady, but I am getting used to it. The game takes up over 2GB of space though (on iOS, not sure about other phones), which was a bit of a shock.
I and a few others in the gacha game thread started playing as well.
It's exactly what I expected, which is nice, but there could definitely be more romance. Too bad UtaPri isn't focused on romance, like, ever. :(

Went through the article to the Steam page and its reviews. Sounds like the kind of romance isn't for me...

But going by the reviews the PC release is mainly based on a phone version instead of entirely a Vita version, and people seemed annoyed about that, so maybe this version will at least be good for people who wanted that + a retranslation?

Assuming it is actually based on the Vita version/retranslated, I guess.

I already have it for ipad (it's pretty eh) but I'm tempted to get it again just to support the future of otome on Switch.

Shame it's still not voiced :/

Just bought it, even though I'm still playing Collar x Malice and there being two new otomes coming out next month.

I hope publishers try with better otome games. I don't have a Switch yet, but I'm planning to get one later this year and I prefer my VNs in a handheld as long as it doesn't have a shitty screen (3DS).

I wonder if Ruby Party ports some of their otome to Switch, if KT would localize it since the platform is actually popular over here. At least just to test the waters.

Does anyone know if the Steam version has the heroine's name done without spacing (ex: JonesBob)? It is not the end of the world, but I did notice it.

Best Buy has both LEs up now as well.


Moving order from Amazon... I'm reluctant to doing in store pickup now, though, so getting it shipped. I had no issues until I got a STANDARD copy of a game cancelled on me. Looks like the shipment came in later, but they just went and cancelled it wothout warning on me. I would've accepted a delay :/

I was going to buy the ps4 LE for CR, but now...

£72 if it's the same price as the Kyoto Winds LE.

You can schedule tweets as far as I know. I hope no one woke up at 5 AM for that.
Ah, I did not know that was possible but the Twitter support is telling me that it is. Though why not make sure the sale is good to go at the time the tweet goes up? I probably will pick up physical copies of Norn9 and Code Realize once the sale is active. For anyone who is interested in my hot take, ignore Period Cube.

Wish I could ignore PC out of existence.

Was hoping for a release date for Psychedelica.

Judging by PQube's previous twitter replies, this seems to me like another Spike Chunsoft situation. Enquire about a possible otome release, see huge demand and then do nothing about it.

I'll never forget that betrayal. Even Danganronpa Another Episode got a PC port after that and it was only third/fourth in the poll.

Danganronpa was never an option in the poll. Kenka Bancho Otome, 428, Shiren and Kamaitachi were. At this point, I'm just secretly hoping the silence is due to them porting the game and the fandisc to ps4 (and steam later).

Oh, then the replies to that tweet that were asking for it. I know that Kamaitachi is most likely coming to the West now that they're porting the game to PC in Japan.

Aww sadly they don't ship to my country. I'd have picked up Norn9 for that price, despite having played the PSP version several years ago.
Still, nice deals if you're in US (and maybe Canada idk where they ship to), worth checking out I think.

Not a bad list though I would never put Period Cube anywhere near my top 10.

Maybe they played some super secret version were the heroine has the presence of more than just a potato and half the romance options are not sociopaths.

It's not like we have that many options anyway.

I haven't even heard that much about 428. What a useless poll that turned out to be in more ways than one.

period cube is 29$ on amazon. Code realize guardians and norn9 are back at 45/50ish. Bad apple wars also seems like a low print run or it sold more than collar malice physically. the hakuoki stuff is heavily discounted.
