2. I’m so happy you’re still updating! Glad to see so many games are here and still coming to the west. I remember looking at your old list last year and thinking the switch’s library is looking a bit sparse…sooo glad it’s more expansive now!! It almost seems unreal that C:R and CxM are here too–I read your reviews every so often to scratch the itch of wanting to play it so much and now I’m super excited that I can! And I can’t wait for Cafe Enchante and Piofore to come too ^o^ cheers to you for keeping us updated and to so many otome coming to the switch!!

      You’re right! We’ve come a long way! ^^ From almost zero new games last year to back to back releases this year. It is indeed almost surreal to see more big titles getting localized for the switch console now. I hope you’ve already picked up the CR series and I can’t wait for you to enjoy CxM! 😀

      Thanks! xD here’s to more otoges for switch in the future! ❤ Cheers!

      1. C:R has been sitting in my cart for a long time cuz I’ve been so into playing Animal Crossing lately but I’ll eventually get to it! After I play CxM of course hehe ^o^/ are you going to review Cafe Enchante or Piofore? I’d love to read your thoughts! (I forgot I had an account so hence the name change oops!;;)

3. Looks like my friend will be able to play some of the games I have! I recently got a vita and totally stocked up on games from the Big in Japan sale. I got 5 titles haha! Add those to the hakuoki and bad apple wars I already have and I’m all set for a while! I love reading your reviews and even though I don’t have a switch I’ll definitely still be on the lookout for your posts!

   1. Thanks for this comment KC! That’s wonderful! I may have done the same thing when I first got my vita hhhhh! xD The PSVita was indeed a magnificent console for visual novels and it makes me sad that they’ve ended its production T_T.

4. It’s great to see that we will be getting a few new titles instead of just ports. My most anticipated is CXM Unlimited this year.

   Do you know if Piofiore Memories will be a big budget Otome? it looks like it would be. Great post!

   1. Hey Halcy! I’m the same! I can’t wait to play CxM Unlimited this year! 😀
      I believe Piofiore is one of Otomate’s good titles since Otomate Japan announced a fandisc for it last year, I’d assume it was one of the their target audience’s favs that garnered them a lot of sales. 🙂

5. I am so happy to see an update about Switch Otome games! (´｡• ω •｡`) I am so excited about CxM along with some of the other ones coming out!! ＼(＾▽＾)／ I purchased a Switch not that long ago, but didn’t know they sold otome games until I found your blog! (Bought Code Realize after reading your reviews, and I immensely enjoyed it as my first console otome game, so huge thank you for that!) I only played mobile otome games, and Princess Closet was one of them. However, I never completed it.

   CxM, Code Realize (and some others) were otome games from the PS Vita. Do you think other otome title will be available for the Switch, such as Psychedelica or Bad Apple Wars?

   1. Hi Miki, thanks for this comment! I really appreciate it! ❤ So glad to hear you enjoyed Code Realize, you'll be enjoying it more when you get to pick up its fandisc! (^_−)−☆

      As for your question, I personally think it all depends if a certain game had a pretty good sales margin. I dont think BAW sold well in the vita? Not too sure about the Psychedelica series either since they were recently ported in PC. ┐(´ー｀)┌ Though, it'd be really awesome if the Psychedelica games are ported over to the switch as theyre two of my fav titles! ♪( ´▽｀)

7. Thanks for the list! I am new to otome games but have been familiar with the concept for a while. I am SO excited that the Switch has gotten so many titles. I have every title ported to it but some are backlogged. I prefer physical copies so I imported Nightshade from Japan since you can choose English as a language to play it in. I am glad Askys is releasing so many physical copies! I noticed the Switch has some girls love visual novels. I wish we could get some boys love ones ported as well. I am looking forward to what the future holds for the Switch!

8. Thank you for such a useful post! I have no interest in any of the mobile ports since imo they’re not worth the money they’re asking but it’s nice to see more big titles on the Switch! It’s such a great platform for visual novels imo. Especially excited for the CxM fandisc!

Because I never played that game before and it never catches my eye. I hope that CR: Wintertide Miracles will be localized (since it’s already been ported to NS but only for japan), and Konami reveals more information about Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side: 4th Heart 😭 (Please… it’s almost a year).

11. Hello!

    Just wanted to stop by and say thank you for this article. I have such a big otome game itch after playing ikemen Sengoku again that I really wanted to own a console version where I don’t have to wait for free chapters every day and spend money on other things like side events and stuff.

    I really had no idea where to start and your blog and article really helped out! the reviews and reasoning for each section really helped me determine which one I want to own first.

    I just bought Code realize and it will be coming in the mail soon. hope to buy collar malice and cafe enchant and prifore when they come out too. I cant wait to try Code realize. im so excited.

    I have a few questions if your don’t mind. I see that you are playing Taisho X Alice? what do you think of it? is it worth the buy? I was also interested in amnesia and Norn 9, but wondering if I should hold out for a possible Nintendo release. Do you think there’s a likelihood for a western switch release?

    Steam is also going to have their summer sale soon: which otome games do you recommend to buy?

    sorry for the hundreds of questions. im really excited to jump into this genre.

    1. Hi Sonlia! Thank you for this comment! I appreciate it! ❤ Ahh yes, Ikesen was sucha good otome for a mobile game…and I'm so excited for you to play Code Realize for the first time! I hope you'll get to love and enjoy the characters as much as much as I did! ^_^

       As for your question. Yes, I loved Taisho x Alice and I would def recommend it. Take note, that TaiAli Episode 1 in steam only covers 2 routes and Episode 2 has not been released yet. Hence I have yet to write any reviews for it.

       Amnesia is available in steam and mobile. It's also one of the better Otomate titles that were localized, I just don't know if IdeaFactory International (the publishers) will port the game to the switch. Norn9 is only available in the PSVita.

       The STEAM Otome Games i would recommend are Hakuoki, Amnesia, 7Scarlet, Psychedelica Series and Taisho x Alice. 😀

12. Hi !

    I just wanted to stop by to thank you for this article !
    I’m a huge fan of Otome Game, but unfortunately, i’m french, and very few games are translated in my native language.
    So i put all my hope in English games.

    Until now, i always play on my computer, but since i have discovered that Otome Game were coming on Switch, I decided to tag along, but I had no idea where to start.
    Thanks to you, I have decided to start playing on Switch with Code Realize, and I looooooved it so much !

    There are still a lot of Otome games that I really want to play at but that are still only available on PS VITA, like Kamigami no Asobi. I have no idea if it will be on Switch some day, but i can still have hope !

    I will keep an eye on your articles, in search of a new games to buy.
    Thank you for your advices.

       If you're playing otome on PC, there are a couple of good ones that were recently ported from the PSVita to STEAM. Titles such as Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly, Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk and 7Scarlet were actually quite good. ^_^

14. I’m wondering, as I’m new to all this.. is Voltage going to go through their library and release console versions? $30 or so for the full series (MS, Epilogues, Sequels, POVs, etc) of each character is way cheaper than if you were to purchase those on Love365.

    I was looking for some Switch otomes, as I’ve heard good things about Nightshade, Collor Malice, and Code Realize. And I was surprised to see KBYBB, SCM, OTBS, etc. I have the MS1s of those, but nothing else. But due to the deal that $30 is for all of them.. that’d be worth it.

       and I agree that getting the console version is way cheaper, not to mention, convenient than playing it chapter by chapter on mobile. I’m sure Choudoku otome is good, but it’s wayyyy too overpriced for a non-voiced mobile game. Spending 60 bux for one route is ridiculous imo. 😥

          1. Hi!
             CxM Unlimited contains “After Stories” + extra content (side stories). You can, or might as well consider it the sequel of the first game. Unlimited does not have the main game in it, so I’d recommend playing Collar x Malice first to be able enjoy Unlimited.

    For those wanting more otome-like games but can’t afford it, go in Itch.io as there are quite a few really great visual novels/otome games there for free/lower price. Cinderella Phenomenon is one I’d highly recommend!
